4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “heathen” →
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD , weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD , and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD . shall bring down
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
