'Off' in the Bible

Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.

Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart.

He who sends news by the hand of a foolish man is cutting off his feet and drinking in damage.

As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death,

Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.
