It seems strange that these lines are broken up so much. I wonder if it was done so that there would be no wrapping text.

If we can get the wrapping text to be indented (rather than going to the left margin) could we make this like other versions? I have not checked the rest of the poem.

\q
\v 19 "Your glory, Israel,
\q2 is dead, killed on your high places!
\q How the mighty have fallen!
\q
\v 20 Do not tell it in Gath,
\q do not proclaim it
\q2 in the streets of Ashkelon,
\q so that the daughters of the
\q2 Philistines may not rejoice,
\q so that the daughters of the
\q2 uncircumcised may not celebrate.

I spoke with Chris and Aby about it.
John will ask his editors to do this.
He will let them know which version to follow.
They will work in branches in different books.
John or I will do the pulls.

I fixed the formatting of this poetry.
It looks great in the Read on Web view, except that the testwrap needs to be indented.
The testpipelineoutput lis not updating. (It last updated 5 days ago.)
