Ps 66:19;
Isa 45:15, etc.). For the King James Version "verily thou shalt be fed" (

Mt 5:18,
26;
6:2;
Mr 3:28, etc.), and in John's Gospel is repeated to give additional emphasis (

Ps 39:5;
73:13), "indeed" (
Mr 9:12;
Ro 2:25;
Heb 3:5;
7:5), etc., and sometimes puts "verily" where the King James Version has other words, as "also" (
Mt 13:23), "doubtless" (
Php 3:8), etc.
