And my handª hath foundª° as a nestª the richesª of the people:ª and as one gatherethª° eggsª [that are] left,ª° have I¹ gatheredª° all¹ the earth;ª and there was¹ none¹ that movedª° the wing,ª or openedª° the mouth,ª or peeped.ª°" {Isa 10:13-14} + "Behold,¹ thou¹ [art] wiserª than Daniel;ª¹ there is no¹ secretª° that they can hideª° from thee: ...
