Easton's Bible Dictionary
in the expression "by myself" (A.V., 1 Cor. 4:4), means, as rendered in the Revised Version, "against myself." By and by immediately (Matt. 13:21; R.V., "straightway;" Luke 21:9). By-ways only in Judg. 5:6 and Ps. 125:5; literally "winding or twisted roads." The margin has "crooked ways." By-word Hebrew millah (Job 30:9), a word or speech, and hence object of talk; Hebrew mashal (Ps. 44:14), a proverb or parable. When it denotes a sharp word of derision, as in Deut. 28:37, 1 Kings 9:7, 2 Chr. 7:20, the Hebrew sheninah is used. In Jer. 24:9 it is rendered "taunt."
