American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Why dost thou strive against him,For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?
that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
For the {Hebrew: pressing.}churning of milk bringeth forth butter,And the {Hebrew: pressing.}wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood;So the {Hebrew: pressing.}forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all is before them.
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
