ancients <1SA24 -13> As saith the proverb of the {ancients}, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. ancients I understand more than the {ancients}, because I keep thy precepts. ancients The LORD will enter into judgment with the {ancients} of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses. ancients Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his {ancients} gloriously. ancients Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and [take] of the ancients of the people, and of the {ancients} of the priests; ancients Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and [take] of the {ancients} of the people, and of the ancients of the priests; ancients Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the {ancients}. ancients And there stood before them seventy men of the {ancients} of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. ancients Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the {ancients} of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. ancients The {ancients} of Gebal and the wise [men] thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. and And upon her forehead was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS {AND} ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. and And he hath on his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, {AND} LORD OF LORDS. ~~~~~~
