is used in two quotations from the Sept., Acts 8:32 from Isaiah 53:7 , and Romans 8:36 from Psalm 44:22; in the latter the quotation is set in a strain of triumph, the passage quoted being an utterance of sorrow. In James 5:5 there is an allusion to Jeremiah 12:3 , the luxurious rich, getting wealth by injustice, spending it on their pleasures, are "fattening themselves like sheep unconscious of their doom."
"a stroke" (akin to kopto, "to strike, to cut"), signifies "a smiting in battle," in Hebrews 7:1 . In the Sept., Genesis 14:17; Deuteronomy 28:25; Joshua 10:20 .
"a killing, murder," is rendered "slaughter" in Acts 9:1; see MURDER.
