¹⁰ Saul sought to strike David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

³³ Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

¹¹ and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will strike David even to the wall. David avoided out of his presence twice.

²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first.

²¹ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, "The dog turns to his own vomit again," and "the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire."

³⁹ They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

²⁴ The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'

²⁵ When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.

²⁶ Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first."

³⁰ But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.

⁴³ But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn't find it.

⁴⁴ Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

⁴⁵ Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."

⁴ "Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, And like the dew that disappears early.

¹⁷ No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness which is of me, says Yahweh.

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Yahweh.

⁷ Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.

¹⁵ But he saves from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
