13 For it will not be a testing—what could it do if you despise (A)the rod?”[a] declares the Lord God.
10 (A)sharpened for slaughter, (B)polished to flash like lightning!
(Or (C)shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, (D)with everything of wood.)[a]
2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and (A)their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
25 And you, O profane[a] (A)wicked one, prince of Israel, (B)whose day has come, (C)the time of your final punishment,
23 When (A)disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity[a] of the innocent.
