3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “whether” →
When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
