posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be
plucked up, even for others beside those.

given up, and they that brought her, and he that
begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

given to him, but he will come in a time of peace and seize the kingdom by
intrigue.

give not thine
heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

heritage a reproach, an object of
scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”

Zion, and
rejoice in the LORD your God, for He has
given you the autumn rains for your
vindication. He sends you showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.

give my
firstborn for my
