For those of you who don't bother to check, the 46th word
in from the beginning is "shake." The 46th word in from the
end is "spear."

It's a neat play on words, but hardly proof that Shakespeare
played fast and loose with the scriptures. If you look hard
enough, I bet you will find lots of other similar word games
in the Bible. Coincidence and nothing else.
