- the heathen:
- "Wherefore I pouredª° my furyª upon¹ them for¹ the bloodª that¹ they had shedª° upon¹ the land,ª and for their idolsª [wherewith] they had pollutedª° it: ... And I will sanctifyª°¹ my greatª name,ª which was profanedª° among the heathen,ª which¹ ye have profanedª° in the midstª of them; and the heathenª shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª when I shall be sanctifiedª° in you before their eyes.ª" {Ezk 36:18-23} + "Then the heathenª that¹ are leftª° round aboutª you shall knowª° that¹ I¹ the LORDª buildª° the ruinedª° [places, and] plantª° that that was desolate:ª° I¹ the LORDª have spokenª° [it], and I will doª° [it]." {Ezk 36:36} + "And this¹ house,ª which¹ is¹ high,ª shall be an astonishmentª° to every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it; so that he shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and unto this¹ house?ª ... And it shall be answered,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ brought them forthª° out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and laid holdª° on otherª gods,ª and worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath he broughtª°¹ all¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ them." {2Ch 7:21-22} + "And manyª nationsª shall passª° by¹ this¹ city,ª and they shall sayª° every manª to¹ his neighbour,ª Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ greatª city?ª ... Then they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they have forsakenª°¹ the covenantª of the LORDª their God,ª and worshippedª° otherª gods,ª and servedª° them." {Jer 22:8-9} + "And the captainª of the guardª tookª° Jeremiah,ª and saidª° unto¹ him, The LORDª thy Godª hath pronouncedª°¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ this¹ place.ª ... Now the LORDª hath broughtª° [it], and doneª° according as¹ he hath said:ª° because¹ ye have sinnedª° against the LORD,ª and have not¹ obeyedª° his voice,ª therefore this¹ thingª is come¹ upon you." {Jer 40:2-3} + "Jerusalemª hath grievously² sinned;ª°¹ therefore¹¹ she is¹ removed:ª all¹ that honouredª° her despise²°¹ her, because¹ they have seenª° her nakedness:ª yea,¹ she¹ sigheth,ª° and turnethª° backward.ª" {Lam 1:8} + "All¹ that pass²° by¹¹ clapª° [their] handsª at¹ thee;² they hissª° and wagª° their headª at¹ the daughterª of Jerusalem,ª [saying, Is] this¹ the cityª that [men] callª°¹ The perfectionª of beauty,ª The joyª of the whole¹ earth?ª ... The LORDª hath doneª° [that] which¹ he had devised;ª° he hath fulfilledª° his wordª that¹ he had commandedª° in the daysª¹ of old:ª he hath thrown down,ª° and hath not¹ pitied:ª° and he hath caused [thine] enemyª° to rejoiceª° over¹ thee, he hath set upª° the hornª of thine adversaries.ª" {Lam 2:15-17}
