Dally
dali: Occurs in The Wisdom of Solomon 12:26: But they that would not be reformed by that correction wherein he dallied with them ( , paignois epitimeseos, child play of correction), the reference being to the earlier and lighter plagues of Egypt; Version (British and American) renders by a mocking correction as of children, by a correction which was as children’s play, Greek (as above). He first tried them by those lighter inflictions before sending on them the heavier. In later usage daily implies delay.
