¹³ Yet the house of Israel ^(A)rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they ^(B)despised My judgments, ^(C)‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; and they greatly ^(D)defiled My Sabbaths.

³⁶ “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall ^(A)exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.
