And considering that phenomenal screw-up of yours with the 1
Kings passage, I'm not sure you have any room to throw stones....



Yes, that was pretty bad, but I wasn't aware that I had thrown any stones.  That's what I get for taking the lazy way out and rather than reading the Hebrew jumping to the English.  There is no mistaking Is. 30.33 and Job 31.11.  1 Kg 17.15 has both HW.) and HiY) which where has been felt necessary to repoint each in order to reverse the order!
