Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): Break their teeth, O God! Not so much that they might not feed themselves as that they might not be able to make prey of others, Ps. iii. He does not say, "Break their necks" (no; let them live to repent, slay them not, lest my people forget ), but, "Break their teeth, for they are lions, they are young lions, that live by rapine." 2.
