* It would seem that the purpose of this figure is to elicit a change.

.Psa. 50:22 “Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver”.


50:23 “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God”.
.
.
.Isa 1:16 “Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;”
.
1:17 “Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow”.
.
1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool”.
.
1:19 “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”
.
1:20 “But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it”.
.
.
.Jer 9:23 “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:”
.
9:24 “But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD”.

Mat 4:8 “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;”

.
4:9 “And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me”.
.
.4:10 “ Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve”.
.
.4:11 “Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him”.
. (Here the change is not that Satan repented and then worshipped and served God, or even that this was the intent, but the change is that Jesus no longer was being tempted).
.

.
.Act 8:24 “Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me”.
(Simon is shown to have believed what Peter said to be true, and to have humbled himself before Peter [pray ye…], and therefore God.)
