- "Now when all¹ the princes,ª and all¹ the people,ª which¹ had enteredª° into the covenant,ª heardª° that every oneª should let¹ his manservant,ª and every oneª¹ his maidservant,ª goª° free,ª that none¹ should serveª° themselves of them any more,¹ then they obeyed,ª° and let [them] go.ª°" {Jer 34:10} + "Her princesª in the midstª thereof [are] like wolvesª raveningª° the prey,ª to shedª° blood,ª [and] to destroyª° souls,ª to¹ getª° dishonest gain.ª ... Therefore have I poured outª° mine indignationª upon¹ them; I have consumedª° them with the fireª of my wrath:ª their own wayª have I recompensedª° upon their heads,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 22:27-31} + "Neither¹ have we hearkenedª° unto¹ thy servantsª the prophets,ª which¹ spakeª° in thy nameª to¹ our kings,ª our princes,ª and our fathers,ª and to¹ all¹ the peopleª of the land.ª" {Dan 9:6} + "O Lord,²¹ to us [belongeth] confusionª of face,ª to our kings,ª to our princes,ª and to our fathers,ª because¹ we have sinnedª° against thee." {Dan 9:8} + "And he hath confirmedª°¹ his words,ª which¹ he spakeª° against¹ us, and against¹ our judgesª° that¹ judgedª° us, by bringingª° upon¹ us a greatª evil:ª for¹ under¹ the whole¹ heavenª hath not¹ been doneª° as¹ hath been doneª° upon Jerusalem.ª" {Dan 9:12} + "Woeª is me! for¹ I am¹ as when they have gatheredª the summer fruits,ª as the grapegleaningsª of the vintage:ª [there is] no¹ clusterª to eat:ª° my soulª desiredª° the firstripe fruit.ª ... Trustª° ye not¹ in a friend,ª put ye not confidenceª°¹ in a guide:ª keepª° the doorsª of thy mouthª from her that liethª°¹ in thy bosom.ª" {Mic 7:1-5} + "Her princesª withinª her [are] roaringª° lions;ª her judgesª° [are] eveningª wolves;ª they gnaw not the bonesª°¹ till the morrow.ª ... Her prophetsª [are] lightª° [and] treacherousª persons:²¹ her priestsª have pollutedª° the sanctuary,ª they have done violenceª° to the law.ª" {Zph 3:3-4}
