Therefore thus saith the ants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: bebut ye shall be hungry: behold, my servbe ashamed: 14.

If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8.

These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 20. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21.
