- the men:
- "And the menª of Ephraimª gathered themselves together,ª° and wentª° northward,ª and saidª° unto Jephthah,ª Wherefore¹ passedst thou overª° to fightª° against the childrenª of Ammon,ª and didst not¹ callª° us to go²°¹ with¹ thee? we will burnª° thine houseª upon¹ thee with fire.ª ... Then saidª° they unto him, Sayª° now¹ Shibboleth:ª and he saidª° Sibboleth:ª for he could not¹ frameª° to pronounceª° [it] right.²°¹ Then they tookª° him, and slewª° him at¹ the passagesª of Jordan:ª and there fellª° at that¹ timeª of the Ephraimitesª¹ fortyª and twoª thousand.ª" {Jdg 12:1-6} + "And, behold,¹ all¹ the menª of Israelª cameª° to¹ the king,ª and saidª° unto¹ the king,ª Why¹ have our brethrenª the menª of Judahª stolen thee away,ª° and have broughtª°¹ the king,ª and his household,ª and all¹ David'sª men²¹ with¹ him, over¹ Jordan?ª" {2Sm 19:41} + "For¹ wrathª killethª° the foolish¹ man,² and envyª slayethª° the silly¹ one.²°" {Job 5:2} + "Again, I¹ consideredª°¹ all¹ travail,ª and every¹ rightª work,ª that¹ for this¹ a manª is enviedª of his neighbour.ª¹ This¹ [is] also¹ vanityª and vexationª of spirit.ª" {Ecc 4:4} + "² Do ye¹ thinkª° thatª the¹ scriptureª saithª° in vain,ª The¹ spiritª thatª dwellethª° inª usª lustethª° toª envy?ª ... Butª he givethª° moreª grace.ª Whereforeª he saith,ª° Godª resistethª° the proud,ª butª givethª° graceª unto the humble.ª" {Jms 4:5-6}
