⁴ And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.

²⁶ `As' a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, `So is' a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
