For The Former

For Heshbon was The city of Sihon The king of The Amorites, who had fought against The Former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.

• Uncleanness
• Abomination

Her Former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; For that is abomination before The LORD: and thou shalt not cause The land to sin, which The LORD thy God giveth thee For an inheritance.

Now this was The manner in Former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, For to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.

• Wisdom

For inquire, I pray thee, of The Former age, and prepare thyself to The search of their fathers:

For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into The wilderness in Former time desolate and waste.

Say not thou, What is The cause that The Former days were better than these? For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew The Former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know The latter end of them; or declare us things For to come.

Remember The Former things of old: For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and The Former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

The portion of Jacob is not like them: For he is The Former of all things; and Israel is The rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.

But thou shalt die in peace: and with The burnings of thy fathers, The Former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours For thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! For I have pronounced The word, saith The LORD.

The portion of Jacob is not like them; For he is The Former of all things: and Israel is The rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.

For The king of The north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than The Former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in The LORD your God: For he hath given you The Former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down For you The rain, The Former rain, and The latter rain in The first month.

• Death

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: For The Former things are passed away.
