SCRIPTURE

"therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah;" — Ezekiel 36:14 (ASV)

Therefore you shall devour men no more Or they shall be no more destroyed in you by pestilence, famine, sword, or other means: neither bereave that nations any more, says the Lord ; or, "you shall not cause them to fall any more" F11 , for so it is written, as in (Ezekiel 36:15) , though the marginal reading is, "you shall not bereave", which we follow; and both are to be received, since miscarriages often come by falls.
