Hide them in the dust together, imprison them in the grave.

Those who think they are wise are as good as dead, those who think they possess understanding.

He made a colonnade 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. There was a porch in front of this and pillars and a roof in front of the porch.

For you make them retreat when you shoot your arrows at them.

Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O Lord.

Then Moses and Aaron fell down with their faces to the ground before the whole assembled community of the Israelites.

“Get away from this community, so that I can consume them in an instant!” But they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.

When they called out to the Danites, the Danites turned around and said to Micah, “Why have you gathered together?”

But I am not really the one being troubled!” says the Lord. “Rather they are bringing trouble on themselves to their own shame!

“I have made your face adamant to match their faces, and your forehead hard to match their foreheads.

The look on their faces testifies to their guilt; like the people of Sodom they openly boast of their sin. Too bad for them! For they bring disaster on themselves.

They panic – cramps and pain seize hold of them like those of a woman who is straining to give birth. They look at one another in astonishment; their faces are flushed red.
