35:4 confundantur et revereantur quaerentes animam meam avertantur retrorsum et confundantur cogitantes mihi mala

35:20 quoniam mihi quidem pacifice loquebantur et in iracundia * terrae loquentes; dolos cogitabant

35:20 For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
