And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent{H8804)} their bow, to cast down{H8687)} the poor and needy, and to slay{H8800)} such as be of upright conversation.

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
