- the flight:
- "I sawª°¹ the Lordª standingª° upon¹ the altar:ª and he said,ª° Smiteª° the lintel¹ of the door,² that the postsª may shake:ª° and cutª° them in the head,ª all¹ of them; and I will slayª° the lastª of them with the sword:ª he that fleethª° of them shall not¹ flee away,ª° and he that escapethª of them shall not¹ be delivered.ª° ... And though¹ they hide²° themselves¹ in the topª of Carmel,ª I will searchª° and take¹ them out²° thence;¹¹ and though¹ they be hidª° from¹¹ my sightª in the bottomª of the sea,ª thence¹¹ will I commandª°¹ the serpent,ª and he shall biteª° them:" {Ams 9:1-3} + "But the eyesª of the wickedª shall fail,ª° and they shall not escape,ªª°¹ and their hopeª [shall be as] the giving upª of the ghost.ª" {Job 11:20} *marg. "I returned,ª° and sawª° under¹ the sun,ª that¹ the raceª [is] not¹ to the swift,ª nor¹ the battleª to the strong,ª neither¹ yet¹ breadª to the wise,ª nor¹ yet¹ richesª to men of understanding,ª° nor¹ yet¹ favourª to men of skill;ª° but¹ timeª and chanceª happenethª° to¹ them all.¹" {Ecc 9:11} + "But ye said,ª° No;¹ for¹ we will fleeª° upon¹ horses;ª therefore¹¹ shall ye flee:ª° and, We will rideª° upon¹ the swift;ª therefore¹¹ shall they that pursueª° you be swift.ª°" {Isa 30:16} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Let not¹ the wiseª [man] gloryª° in his wisdom,ª neither¹ let the mightyª [man] gloryª° in his might,ª let not¹ the richª [man] gloryª° in his riches:ª" {Jer 9:23}
