- Josephus says that this sect pretended to a more exact knowledge of the law, on which account the women were subject to them, as pretending to be dear to God. "Ye shall not¹ afflictª° any¹ widow,ª or fatherless child.ª ... And my wrathª shall wax hot,ª° and I will killª° you with the sword;ª and your wivesª shall be¹ widows,ª and your childrenª fatherless.ª" {Exd 22:22-24} + "Thou hast sent²° widows² away¹¹ empty,ª and the armsª of the fatherlessª have been broken.ª°" {Job 22:9} + "If¹ I have withheldª° the poorª from [their] desire,ª¹ or have caused the eyesª of the widowª to fail;ª° ... If¹ his loinsª have not¹ blessedª° me, and [if] he were [not] warmedª° with the fleeceª¹ of my sheep;ª" {Job 31:16-20} + "Which devourª° widows'ª houses,ª andª for a pretenceª make²° long² prayers:ª°¹ theseª shall receiveª° greaterª damnation.ª" {Mrk 12:40} + "Whichª devourª° widows'ª houses,ª andª for a shewª make²° long² prayers:ª°¹ the sameª shall receiveª° greaterª damnation.ª" {Lke 20:47} + "Forª ofª this sortª are¹ they²° which creepª° intoª houses,ª andª lead captiveª° silly womenª ladenª° with sins,ª led awayª° with diversª lusts,ª" {2Tm 3:6} + "Forª there areª° manyª unrulyª¹ and² vain talkersª andª deceivers,ª speciallyª they¹ ofª the circumcision:ª ... Whoseª mouths²° must²° be stopped,ª°¹ whoª subvertª° wholeª houses,ª teachingª° things whichª they oughtª° not,ª for²° filthy² lucre's² sake.ª¹¹" {Tts 1:10-11} + "Havingª° eyesª fullª of adultery,ª andª that cannot cease¹ from² sin;ª beguilingª° unstableª souls:ª an heartª they haveª° exercisedª° with covetous practices;ª cursedª children:ª ... Which have forsakenª° the¹ rightª way,ª and are gone astray,ª° followingª° the¹ wayª of Balaamª [the son] of Bosor,ª whoª lovedª° the wagesª of unrighteousness;ª" {2Pe 2:14-15}
