I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off and to him that is near, said the LORD; and healed him.

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and of how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city dwelling with Naboth.

For all the Gentiles have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the power of her delicacies.
