Those nations that you are about to dispossess listen to omen readers and diviners, but the Lord your God has not given you permission to do such things.

Whatever you vow, you must be careful to do what you have promised, such as what you have vowed to the Lord your God as a freewill offering.

Nonetheless, because you have treated the Lord with such contempt ¹  in this matter, the son who has been born to you will certainly die.”

(Now his father had never corrected ¹  him ²  by saying, “Why do you do such things?” He was also very handsome and had been born right after Absalom. ³ )

But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah’s reign, such a Passover of the Lord was observed in Jerusalem.

Now give orders that these men cease their work and that this city not be rebuilt until such time as I so instruct. ¹ 

I also have understanding ¹  as well as you; I am not inferior to you. ²  Who does not know such things as these? ³ 

‘Surely such is the residence ¹  of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.’” ² 

Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant ¹  sins; do not allow such sins to control me. ²  Then I will be blameless, and innocent of blatant ³  rebellion.

Then you must recall the Lord’s instructions and the prophetic testimony of what would happen. ¹  Certainly they say such things because their minds are spiritually darkened. ² 

“It did no good for me to punish your people. They did not respond to such correction. You slaughtered your prophets like a voracious lion.” ¹

And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while ¹  the whole crowd stood on the shore.

When Jesus learned of this, ¹  he said, “You who have such little faith! ²  Why are you arguing ³  among yourselves about having no bread?

But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” ¹ 

Herod said, “I had John ¹  beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus. ² 

So ¹  do not be overly concerned about ²  what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not worry about such things. ³ 

And do you think, ¹  whoever you are, when you judge ²  those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, ³  that you will escape God’s judgment?

Let such a person consider this: What we say ¹  by letters when we are absent, we also are in actions when we are present.
