- therefore:
- "Wherefore¹ the LORDª Godª of Israelª saith,ª° I saidª° indeedª° [that] thy house,ª and the houseª of thy father,ª should walkª° beforeª me for² ever:ª¹ but now¹ the LORDª saith,ª° Be it far¹ from me;² for¹ them that honourª° me I will honour,ª° and they that despiseª° me shall be lightly esteemed.ª°" {1Sm 2:30} + "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} + "Therefore have I¹ also¹ madeª° you contemptibleª° and baseª before all¹ the people,ª according² as¹¹ ye have not¹ keptª°¹ my ways,ª but have been partialªª° in the law.ª" {Mal 2:9} + "Whoseª endª [is] destruction,ª whoseª God²¹ [is their] belly,ª andª [whose] gloryª [is] inª theirª shame,ª who² mindª° earthly things.)ª" {Php 3:19}
