- "² Saying,ª° Theseª lastª have wroughtª° [but] oneª hour,ª andª thou hast madeª° themª equalª unto us,ª which² have borneª° the¹ burdenª andª heatª of the¹ day.ª" {Mtt 20:12} + "Therefore they sayª° unto God,ª Departª° from¹ us; for we desireª° not¹ the knowledgeª of thy ways.ª ... What¹ [is] the Almighty,ª that¹ we should serveª° him? and what¹ profitª° should we have, if¹ we prayª° unto him?" {Job 21:14-15} + "Wherefore¹ have we fasted,ª° [say they], and thou seestª° not?¹ [wherefore] have we afflictedª° our soul,ª and thou takest no knowledge?ª°¹ Behold,¹ in the dayª of your fastª ye findª° pleasure,ª and exactª° all¹ your labours.ª" {Isa 58:3} + "O generation,ª seeª° ye¹ the wordª of the LORD.ª Have I been¹ a wildernessª unto Israel?ª a landª of darkness?ª wherefore¹ sayª° my people,ª We are lords;ª° we will comeª° no¹ more¹ unto¹ thee?" {Jer 2:31} + "[As for] the wordª that¹ thou hast spokenª° unto¹ us in the nameª of the LORD,ª we will not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ thee. ... But since¹¹ we left offª° to burn incenseª° to the queenª of heaven,ª and to pour outª° drink offeringsª unto her, we have wantedª° all¹ [things], and have been consumedª° by the swordª and by the famine.ª" {Jer 44:16-18} + "Yet ye say,ª° The wayª of the Lordª is not equal.ª°¹ Hearª° now,¹ O houseª of Israel;ª Is not¹ my wayª equal?ª° are not¹ your waysª unequal?ª°¹ ... Yet saithª° the houseª of Israel,ª The wayª of the Lordª is not equal.ª°¹ O houseª of Israel,ª are not¹ my waysª equal?ª° are not¹ your waysª unequal?ª°¹" {Ezk 18:25-29} + "But ye¹ have profanedª° it, in that ye say,ª° The tableª of the LORD²¹ [is] polluted;ª° and the fruitª thereof, [even] his meat,ª [is] contemptible.ª° ... Ye saidª° also, Behold,¹ what a wearinessª¹ [is it]! and ye have snuffed²° at¹ it, saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª and ye broughtª° [that which was] torn,ª° and the lame,ª and the sick;ª° thus ye broughtª°¹ an offering:ª should I acceptª° this of your hand?ª¹ saithª° the LORD.ª" {Mal 1:12-13} + "Ye have said,ª° It [is] vainª to serveª° God:ª and what¹ profitª [is it] that¹ we have keptª° his ordinance,ª and that¹ we have walkedª° mournfullyª beforeª¹ the LORDª of hosts?ª ... And now¹ we¹ call²° the proud² happy;ª°¹ yea,¹ they that workª° wickednessª are set up;ª° yea,¹ [they that] temptª° Godª are even delivered.ª°" {Mal 3:14-15} + "Andª he¹ answeringª° saidª° to [his] father,ª Lo,ª° these manyª yearsª do I serveª° thee,ª neither²°¹ transgressed¹ I²° at any time²¹ thyª commandment:ª andª yet² thou²° never²¹ gavestª° meª a kid,ª thatª I might make merryª° withª myª friends:ª" {Lke 15:29} + "Andª anotherª came,ª° saying,ª° Lord,ª behold,ª° [here is] thyª pound,ª whichª I haveª° kept laid upª° inª a napkin:ª ... Andª he saithª° unto him,ª Out¹ of² thine ownª mouthª will I judgeª° thee,ª [thou] wickedª servant.ª Thou knewestª° thatª Iª wasª° an austereª man,ª taking upª° thatª I laid²° not² down,ª°¹ andª reapingª° thatª I did²° notª sow:ª°" {Lke 19:20-22} + "Becauseª the¹ carnalª mindª [is] enmityª againstª God:ª forª it is²° not² subjectª°¹ to the¹ lawª of God,ª neitherª indeedª can¹ be.²°" {Rom 8:7} + "Nay but,ª Oª man,ª whoª artª° thouª that repliest againstª° God?ª² Shall²°¹ the¹ thing formedª sayª° to him that formedª° [it], Whyª hast thou madeª° meª thus?ª" {Rom 9:20}
