David's

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, - hath magnified his heel against me!

For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;

Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, - from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;

Not, concerning you all, am I speaking, - for, I, know of whom I made choice; but -- that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled: He that feedeth on my bread, hath lifted up against me, his heel.

Giloh

and Goshen and Holon, and Giloh, - eleven cities, with their villages.

While he offered

Then said Balaam unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, - and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.

Now she wrote in the letters, saying, - Proclaim ye a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people;

But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?

The sacrifice of the lawless, is an abomination, how much more, when, with wickedness, he bringeth it in!

Hear the word of Yahweh, ye rulers of Sodom, - Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah: -

God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.

The people

Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

Nothing less than rebellion, doth a wicked man seek, and, a relentless messenger, shall be sent out against him.
