And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made and burnt him with fire and stamped him and ground him a-good, even unto small dust. And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

And in the wildernesses of them round about he plucked asunder the altars and the groves and did beat them and stamp them to powder, and beat down the idols throughout all the land of Israel: and then returned to Jerusalem again.

For she leaveth her eggs upon the ground, and heateth them in the dust. She remembereth not that they might be trodden with feet or broken with some wild beast.

And therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be thus reconciled. And so shall he take away all the fruit of his sins. As for altar stones, he shall make them all as stones beaten to powder: the groves and Idols shall not stand.

The fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. For like as iron bruiseth and breaketh all things: Yea even as iron beateth everything down, so shall it beat down and destroy.

"'If thou offer a meat offering of the first ripe fruits unto the LORD, then take of that which is yet green, and dry it by the fire and beat it small, and so offer the meat offering of thy first ripe fruits.

And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars and boke it in pans and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was like unto the taste of an oilcake.

The poor are fain to labour in their oil mills, yea and to tread in their wine presses, and yet to suffer thirst.

Thou shalt sow, but not reap; thou shalt press out olives, but oil shalt thou not have to anoint thyself withal; thou shalt tread out sweet must, but shall drink no wine.

I followed mine enemies and destroyed them, and turned not again until I had consumed them. I wasted them and so clouted them, that they could not arise: but fell under my feet.

The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath. He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.

He was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. The correction that brought us peace was on him, and with his stripes we were healed.

Thou shalt not offer unto the LORD that which hath his stones bruised, broken, plucked out or cut away, neither shalt make any such in your land,

None that is gelded, or hath his privy members cut off, shall come into the congregation of the LORD.

"O that I might have my desire! O that God would grant me the thing, that I long for! That he would begin and smite me: that he would let his hand go, and hew me down.

Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and mar the faces of the innocents?" Thus shall the LORD God of Hosts revile them.

Behold, I will crash you in sunder, like as a wain crasheth, that is full of sheaves:

And though Edom said, "Well, we are destroyed, we will go build up again the places that be wasted": yet sayeth the LORD of Hosts, "What they builded, that brake I down: so that it was called a cursed land and people, whom the LORD hath ever been angry withal."

Moreover, I will put hatred between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. And that seed shall tread thee on the head, and thou shalt tread it on the heel."

A good stomach driveth away a man's disease; but when the spirit is vexed, who may abide it?

We are troubled on every side, yet are we not without shift. We are in poverty: but not utterly without somewhat.

"How long will ye vex my mind, and trouble me with words?

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life; but he that abuseth it, hath a broken mind.

And whosoever shall fall on this stone, he shall be alto broken. But on whosoever it shall fall upon, it will grind him to powder."

Whosoever stumble at that stone, shall be broken: but on whosoever it fall upon, it will grind him to powder."

The God of peace tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
