Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years without seeing the king’s face.

He turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord,

Why do you hide your face ¹  and regard me as your enemy?

Because he covered his face with fat, ¹  and made ²  his hips bulge with fat, ³ 

my face is reddened ¹  because of weeping, ²  and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness, ³ 

He conceals ¹  the face of the full moon, ²  shrouding it with his clouds.

They detest me and maintain their distance; ¹  they do not hesitate to spit in my face.

The godly ¹  face many dangers, ²  but the Lord saves ³  them ⁴  from each one of them.

Hide your face ¹  from my sins! Wipe away ²  all my guilt!

A joyful heart ¹  makes the face cheerful, ²  but by a painful heart the spirit is broken.

Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord,

Let him bury his face in the dust; ¹  perhaps there is hope.

“I will destroy ¹  everything from the face of the earth,” says the Lord.

The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, ¹  the way a person speaks ²  to a friend. Then Moses ³  would return to the camp, but his servant, Joshua son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the tent. ⁴ 

With him I will speak face to face, ¹  openly, ²  and not in riddles; and he will see the form ³  of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”

But the king said, “Let him go over ¹  to his own house. He may not see my face.” So Absalom went over ²  to his own house; he did not see the king’s face.

King Zedekiah of Judah will not escape from the Babylonians. ¹  He will certainly be handed over to the king of Babylon. He must answer personally to the king of Babylon and confront him face to face. ² 

You yourself will not escape his clutches, but will certainly be captured and handed over to him. You must confront the king of Babylon face to face and answer to him personally. ¹  Then you must go to Babylon.

I will set ¹  my face against them – although they have escaped from the fire, ²  the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.
