- "Then shall ye rememberª°¹ your own evilª ways,ª and your doingsª that¹ [were] not¹ good,ª and shall lothe²° yourselves¹ in your own sightª for¹ your iniquitiesª and for¹ your abominations.ª" {Ezk 36:31} + "And thou mournª° at the last,ª when thy fleshª and thy bodyª are consumed,ª° ... I was¹ almostª in all¹ evilª in the midstª of the congregationª and assembly.ª" {Prv 5:11-14} + "They shall comeª° with weeping,ª and with supplicationsª will I leadª° them: I will cause them to walk²°¹ by¹ the riversª of watersª in a straightª way,ª wherein they shall not¹ stumble:ª° for¹ I am¹ a fatherª to Israel,ª and Ephraimª [is] my firstborn.ª" {Jer 31:9} + "I have surely²° heardª° Ephraimª bemoaning²° himself¹ [thus]; Thou hast chastisedª° me, and I was chastised,ª° as a bullockª unaccustomedªª° [to the yoke]: turnª° thou me, and I shall be turned;ª° for¹ thou¹ [art] the LORDª my God.ª ... Surely¹ after² that¹ I was turned,ª° I repented;ª° and after² that¹ I was instructed,ª° I smoteª° upon¹ [my] thigh:ª I was ashamed,ª° yea, even¹ confounded,ª° because¹ I did bearª° the reproachª of my youth.ª" {Jer 31:18-19} + "In those¹ days,ª and in that¹ time,ª saithª° the LORD,ª the childrenª of Israelª shall come,ª° they¹ and the childrenª of Judahª together,ª goingª° and weeping:ª° they shall go,²°¹ and seekª° the LORDª their God.ª ...
