- the princes:
- "Her princesª in the midstª thereof [are] like wolvesª raveningª° the prey,ª to shedª° blood,ª [and] to destroyª° souls,ª to¹ getª° dishonest gain.ª" {Ezk 22:27} + "Neither have our kings,ª our princes,ª our priests,ª nor¹ our fathers,ª keptª° thy law,ª nor¹ hearkenedª° unto¹ thy commandmentsª and thy testimonies,ª wherewith¹ thou didst testifyª° against them." {Neh 9:34} + "Thy princesª [are] rebellious,ª° and companionsª of thieves:ª every one¹ lovethª° gifts,ª and followeth²° after¹ rewards:ª they judgeª° not¹ the fatherless,ª neither¹ doth the causeª of the widowª comeª° unto¹ them." {Isa 1:23} + "As the thiefª is ashamedª when¹ he is found,ª° so¹ is the houseª of Israelª ashamed;²°¹ they,¹ their kings,ª their princes,ª and their priests,ª and their prophets,ª ... Sayingª° to a stock,ª Thou¹ [art] my father;ª and to a stone,ª Thou¹ hast brought me forth:ª° for¹ they have turnedª° [their] backª unto¹ me, and not¹ [their] face:ª but in the timeª of their troubleª they will say,ª° Arise,ª° and saveª° us." {Jer 2:26-27} + "I will get²°¹ me unto¹ the great men,ª and will speak²° unto¹ them; for¹ they¹ have knownª° the wayª of the LORD,ª [and] the judgmentª of their God:ª but¹ these¹ have altogetherª brokenª° the yoke,ª [and] burstª° the bonds.ª" {Jer 5:5} + "Because¹ of all¹ the evilª of the childrenª of Israelª and of the childrenª of Judah,ª which¹ they have doneª° to provoke me to anger,ª° they,¹ their kings,ª their princes,ª their priests,ª and their prophets,ª and the menª of Judah,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem.ª" {Jer 32:32} + "O Lord,²¹ to us [belongeth] confusionª of face,ª to our kings,ª to our princes,ª and to our fathers,ª because¹ we have sinnedª° against thee." {Dan 9:8} + "And I said,ª° Hear,ª° I pray you,¹ O headsª of Jacob,ª and ye princesª of the houseª of Israel;ª [Is it] not¹ for you to knowª°¹ judgment?ª ... Who¹ also eatª° the fleshª of my people,ª and flayª° their skinª from off¹¹ them; and they breakª° their bones,ª and chop them in pieces,ª° as¹ for the pot,ª and as fleshª withinª the caldron.ª" {Mic 3:1-3} + "Hearª° this,¹ I pray you,¹ ye headsª of the houseª of Jacob,ª and princesª of the houseª of Israel,ª that abhorª° judgment,ª and pervertª° all¹ equity.ª ... The headsª thereof judgeª° for reward,ª and the priestsª thereof teachª° for hire,ª and the prophetsª thereof divineª° for money:ª yet will they leanª° upon¹ the LORD,ª and say,ª° [Is] not¹ the LORDª amongª us? none¹ evilª can comeª° upon¹ us." {Mic 3:9-11} + "Now Joshuaª was¹ clothedª° with filthyª garments,ª and stoodª° beforeª the angel.ª" {Zch 3:3}
