6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “wherefore” →
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it .
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
