- the foolishness:
- "Forª the¹ preachingª of¹ the¹ crossª isª° to them² that perishª°¹ foolishness;ª butª unto usª which¹ are savedª° it isª° the powerª of God.ª" {1Co 1:18} + "Butª Godª hath chosenª° the¹ foolish thingsª of the¹ worldª toª confoundª° the¹ wise;ª andª Godª hath chosenª° the¹ weak thingsª of the¹ worldª toª confoundª° the things which are mighty;ª ... Thatª noªª fleshª should gloryª° in his presence.ªª" {1Co 1:27-29} + "And it came to pass,¹ when Pharaohª had let¹ the peopleª go,ª° that Godª ledª° them not¹ [through] the wayª of the landª of the Philistines,ª althoughª that¹ [was] near;ª for¹ Godª said,ª° Lest peradventure¹ the peopleª repentª° when they seeª° war,ª and they returnª° to Egypt:ª" {Exd 13:17} + "Speakª° unto¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª that they turnª° and encampª° beforeª Pihahiroth,ª between¹ Migdolª and the sea,ª over againstª Baalzephon:ª beforeª it shall ye encampª° by¹ the sea.ª ... And I will hardenª°¹ Pharaoh'sª heart,ª that he shall followª° afterª them; and I will be honouredª° upon Pharaoh,ª and upon all¹ his host;ª that the Egyptiansª may knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª And they didª° so.¹" {Exd 14:2-4} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Joshua,ª See,ª° I have givenª° into thine handª¹ Jericho,ª and the kingª thereof, [and] the mighty¹ men² of valour.ª ... And it shall come to pass,¹ that when they make a long²° [blast]¹ with the ram'sª horn,ª [and] when ye hearª°¹ the soundª of the trumpet,ª all¹ the peopleª shall shoutª° with a greatª shout;ª and the wallª of the cityª shall fall downª° flat,ª and the peopleª shall ascend upª° every manª straight before¹ him." {Jsh 6:2-5} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Gideon,ª The peopleª that¹ [are] with¹ thee [are] too manyª for me to giveª°¹ the Midianitesª into their hands,ª lest¹ Israelª vaunt²° themselves¹ against¹ me, saying,ª° Mine own handª hath savedª° me. ... So the peopleª tookª°¹ victualsª in their hand,ª and their trumpets:ª and he sentª° all²¹ [the rest of] Israelª every manª unto his tent,ª and retainedª° those threeª hundredª men:ª and the hostª of Midianª was¹ beneath¹¹ him in the valley.ª" {Jdg 7:2-8} + "And he foundª° a newª jawboneª of an ass,ª and put forthª° his hand,ª and tookª° it, and slewª° a thousandª menª therewith. ... And Samsonª said,ª° With the jawboneª of an ass,ª heaps² upon heaps,ª with the jawª of an assª have I slainª° a thousandª men.ª" {Jdg 15:15-16} + "And he tookª° his staffª in his hand,ª and choseª° him fiveª smoothª stonesª out of¹ the brook,ª and putª° them in a shepherd'sª° bagª which¹ he had, even in a scrip;ª and his slingª [was] in his hand:ª and he drew nearª° to¹ the Philistine.ª ... Therefore Davidª ran,ª° and stoodª° upon¹ the Philistine,ª and tookª°¹ his sword,ª and drewª° it out of the sheathª¹ thereof, and slewª° him, and cut offª°¹ his headª therewith. And when the Philistinesª sawª° their championª was dead,ª° they fled.ª°" {1Sm 17:40-51} + "And Ahabª said,ª° By whom?¹ And he said,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª [Even] by the young menª of the princesª of the provinces.ª Then he said,ª° Who¹ shall orderª° the battle?ª And he answered,ª° Thou.¹ ... And the prophetª cameª° to¹ the kingª of Israel,ª and saidª° unto him, Go,²°¹ strengthen²° thyself,¹ and mark,ª° and seeª°¹ what¹ thou doest:ª° for¹ at the returnª of the yearª the kingª of Syriaª will come upª° against¹ thee." {1Kg 20:14-22} + "Then he answeredª° and spakeª° unto¹ me, saying,ª° This¹ [is] the wordª of the LORDª unto¹ Zerubbabel,ª saying,ª° Not¹ by might,ª nor¹ by power,ª but¹¹ by my spirit,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª ... Who¹ [art] thou,¹ O greatª mountain?ª beforeª Zerubbabelª [thou shalt become] a plain:ª and he shall bring forthª°¹ the headstoneªª [thereof with] shoutings,ª [crying], Grace,ª graceª unto it." {Zch 4:6-7} + "The LORDª also shall saveª°¹ the tentsª of Judahª first,ª that¹ the gloryª of the houseª of Davidª and the gloryª of the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalemª do not¹ magnifyª° [themselves] against¹ Judah.ª ... In that¹ dayª shall the LORDª defendª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem;ª and he that is feebleª° among them at that¹ dayª shall be¹ as David;ª and the houseª of Davidª [shall be] as God,ª as the angelª of the LORDª beforeª them." {Zch 12:7-8} + "Oª the depthª of the richesª bothª of the wisdomª andª knowledgeª of God!ª howª unsearchableª [are] his²¹ judgments,ª andª his²¹ waysª past finding out!ª ... Forª ofª him,ª andª throughª him,ª andª toª him,ª [are] all things:ª to whomª [be] gloryª for² ever.ª¹ Amen.ª" {Rom 11:33-36}
