- "But [the sons] of Belialª [shall be] all¹ of them as thornsª thrust away,ª° because¹ they cannot¹ be takenª° with hands:ª" {2Sm 23:6} + "[Certain] men,²¹ the childrenª of Belial,ª are gone outª° from amongª¹ you, and have withdrawnª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of their city,ª saying,ª° Let us go²°¹ and serveª° otherª gods,ª which¹ ye have not¹ known;ª°" {Deu 13:13} + "[Now] as they¹ were making their hearts² merry,ª°¹¹ behold,¹ the men²¹ of the city,ª certain²¹ sonsª of Belial,ª beset²° the house² round about,ª°¹¹ [and] beatª° at¹ the door,ª and spakeª° to¹ the masterª of the house,ª the old² man,²¹ saying,ª° Bring forthª°¹ the manª that¹ cameª° into¹ thine house,ª that we may knowª° him." {Jdg 19:22} + "Now the sonsª of Eliª [were] sonsª of Belial;ª they knewª° not¹¹ the LORD.ª" {1Sm 2:12} + "Then answeredª° all¹ the wickedª menª and [men] of Belial,ª of those²¹¹ that¹ wentª° with¹ David,ª and said,ª° Because¹¹ they wentª° not¹ with¹ us, we will not¹ giveª° them [ought] of the spoilª¹ that¹ we have recovered,ª° save¹¹ to every manª¹ his wifeª and his children,ª that they may lead [them] away,ª° and depart.²°¹" {1Sm 30:22} + "Arise,ª° O LORD,ª disappointª°¹ him,² cast him down:ª° deliverª° my soulª from the wicked,ª¹ [which is] thy sword:ª" {Psa 17:13} + "[As] coalsª [are] to burning coals,ª and woodª to fire;ª so [is] a contentiousª°² manª to kindleª° strife.ª" {Prv 26:21} + "[Art] thou¹ not¹ from everlasting,ª¹ O LORDª my God,ª mine Holy One?ª we shall not¹ die.ª° O LORD,ª thou hast ordainedª° them for judgment;ª and, O mighty God,ª thou hast establishedª° them for correction.ª° ...
