But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. (A Repository for ALLMURS)

KJV Word of the Day: Implead
I take this from Acts 19.38: Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another. As KJB Word Book points out, implead is an archaic word for "sue in a court of justice," or "bring charges against." It is a lonely rendering, for the prior translations had “let them accuse one another” and the revised versions returned to that. RSV has “let them bring charges against one another” and “we are in danger of being charged with rioting today.”
