- etc. Heb. there are yet words for God, "Will ye speakª° wickedlyª for God?ª and talkª° deceitfullyª for him? ... Will ye acceptª° his person?ª will ye contendª° for God?ª" {Job 13:7-8} + "Behold,¹ I¹ [am] according to thy wishª in God'sª stead: I¹ also¹ am formedª° out of the clay.ª¹" {Job 33:6} + "And he¹ shall be thy spokesmanª° unto¹ the people:ª and he shall be,¹ [even] he¹ shall be¹ to thee instead of a mouth,ª and thou¹ shalt be¹ to him instead of God.ª" {Exd 4:16} + "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª If¹ thou return,ª° then will I bring thee again,ª° [and] thou shalt standª° beforeª me: and if¹ thou take forthª° the preciousª from the vile,ª°¹ thou shalt be¹ as my mouth:ª let them returnª° unto¹ thee; but returnª° not¹ thou¹ unto¹ them." {Jer 15:19} + "And thou shalt speakª°¹ my wordsª unto¹ them, whether¹ they will hear,ª° or whether¹ they will forbear:ª° for¹ they¹ [are] most rebellious.ª" {Ezk 2:7} + "Now thenª we are ambassadorsª° forª Christ,ª as thoughª Godª did beseechª° [you] byª us:ª we prayª° [you] in²° Christ's² stead,ª¹ be ye reconciledª° to God.ª" {2Co 5:20}
