When humankind ¹  began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born ²  to them, ³ 

So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building ¹  the city.

When Jacob saw the look on Laban’s face, he could tell his attitude toward him had changed. ¹ 

So Joseph moved them from Israel’s knees ¹  and bowed down with his face to the ground.

Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back, ¹  but my face must not be seen.” ² 

(Now the man Moses was very humble, ¹  more so than any man on the face of the earth.)

The king covered his face and cried out loudly, ¹  “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”

But ¹  extend your hand and strike ²  everything he has, and he will no doubt ³  curse you ⁴  to your face!”

Then a breath of air ¹  passes ²  by my face; it makes ³  the hair of my flesh stand up.

“Now then, be good enough to look ¹  at me; ²  and I will not ³  lie to your face!

For ¹  then you will lift up your face without ²  blemish; ³  you will be securely established ⁴  and will not fear.

Even if he slays me, I will hope in him; ¹  I will surely ²  defend ³  my ways to his face!

Only in two things spare me, ¹  O God, ²  and then I will not hide from your face:

He has made me ¹  a byword ²  to people, I am the one in whose face they spit. ³ 

These men ¹  change ²  night into day; they say, ³  ‘The light is near in the face of darkness.’ ⁴ 

No one denounces his conduct to his face; no one repays him for what ¹  he has done. ² 

Surely then you will delight yourself ¹  in the Almighty, and will lift up your face toward God.

Yet I have not been silent because of the darkness, because of the thick darkness that covered my face. ¹ 

When he established the heavens, I was there; when he marked out the horizon ¹  over the face of the deep,

A wicked person ¹  shows boldness with his face, ²  but as for the upright, ³  he discerns ⁴  his ways.
