like-ness
(liknis)n. 1. The state, quality,
or fact of being like; resemblance. 2. An imitative
appearance; a semblance. 3. A pictorial, graphic, or sculptured
representation of something; an image. SYNONYM: likeness, similarity,
similitude, resemblance, analogy, affinity. These nouns denote agreement
or conformity, as in character, nature, or appearance between persons or
things. Likeness implies close agreement: "There is a devil haunts
thee in the likeness of a fat old man" (Shakespeare). It was your uncanny
likeness to my sister that made me stare at you. Similarity and similitude
suggest agreement only in some respects or to some degree: They were
drawn to each other by similarity of interests. "A striking
similitude between the brother and sister now first arrested my attention"
(Edgar Allan Poe). Resemblance refers to similarity in appearance or in
external or superficial details: "The child ... bore a remarkable
resemblance to her grandfather" (Lytton Strachey). Analogy is similarity,
as of properties or functions, between unlike things that are otherwise not
comparable: The operation of a computer presents an interesting analogy to the
working of the human brain. Affinity is likeness deriving from kinship or
from the possession of shared or compatible properties, characteristics, or
sympathies: There is a discernible stylistic affinity between the
compositions of Brahms and those of Dvorak.

me

wrath

me!
If

again?
all
the
days

I

change

call,

I
will
answer thee:

to
deliver
her husband
out

putteth
forth
her hand,
and
taketh
him
by
the
secrets:
Then
thou
shalt
cut
off
her
hand,
thine
eye
shall not pity her.
Thou
shalt not
have
in

bag
divers weights,
a
great

small.
Thou
shalt not
have

divers
measures,

But
thou
shalt
have
a
perfect
and
just
weight,
a
perfect

just
measure

thou have:

thy
days
may
be
lengthened

My
transgression
is
sealed
up

sewest up mine inequity.
And
surely
the
mountain
falling
cometh
to nought,
and
the
rock
is
removed
out
of
his
place.
The
waters
wear
the stones:
thou
washest
away
the
things
which
grow out
of
the
dust
of
the
earth;
and
thou
destroyest
the
hope
of man.

Therefore
their
inhabitants
were
of
small
power,
they
were
dismayed
*
And
every
plant
of
the
field
before
it
was
in
the
earth,
**
and
confounded;
they
were
as
the
grass
of
the
field,
and
as
the
green
herb,
as
the
grass
on
the
house
tops,
and
as
corn
blasted
before it be grown up.
But
I
Know
thy
abode,
and
thy
going
out,
and
thy
coming
in,
and
thy
rage
against me.
Because
thy
rage
against me
and
thy
tumult
is
come
up
into
mine
ears,
therefore
I
will
put my hook in
thy
nose,
and
my
bridle
in
thy
lips,
and
I
will
turn
thee back
by
the
way
by
which
thou camest.
And
this
shall be a sign unto thee,
Ye
shall
eat this year such things
as
grow
of themselves,
and
in
the
second
year
that
which
springeth
of
the
same;
and
in
the
third
year
sow
ye,
and
reap,
and
plant
vineyards,
and
eat
the
fruits
thereof.
And
the
remnant
that
is
escaped
of
the
house
of Judah
shall
yet
again
take
root downward,
and
bear
fruit upward.
For
out
of
Jerusalem
shall
go
forth
a remnant,
and
they
that
escape
out
of
the
mount
Zion:
the
zeal
of
the
Lord
of hosts
shall
do this.
Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
king
of Assyria,
He
shall
not come
into
this
city,
nor
shoot
an
arrow there,
nor
come
before
it
with
shield,
nor
cast
a bank against
it.
By
the
way
that
he
came,
by
the
same
shall
he
return,
and
shall
not come
into
this
city,
saith
the Lord.
For
I
will
defend
this city,
to
save it,
for
mine own
sake,
and
Aaron
for my
servant
David's sake.
