- "Sonª of man,ª the houseª of Israelª is to me become¹ dross:ª all¹ they [are] brass,ª and tin,ª and iron,ª and lead,ª in the midstª of the furnace;ª they are¹ [even] the drossª of silver.ª" {Ezk 22:18} + "There shall not¹ be foundª° among you [any one] that maketh his sonª or his daughterª to pass²° through¹ the fire,ª [or] that usethª° divination,ª [or] an observer of times,ª° or an enchanter,ª° or a witch,ª°" {Deu 18:10} + "For¹ rebellionª [is as] the sinª of witchcraft,ª and stubbornnessª° [is as] iniquityª and idolatry.ª Because¹ thou hast rejectedª°¹ the wordª of the LORD,ª he hath also rejectedª° thee from [being] king.ª¹" {1Sm 15:23} + "So Saulª diedª° for his transgressionª which¹ he committedª° against the LORD,ª [even] against¹ the wordª of the LORD,ª which¹ he keptª° not,¹ and also¹ for askingª° [counsel] of [one that had] a familiar spirit,ª to enquireª° [of it]; ...
