American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Canst thou put {Hebrew: a rope of rushes.}a rope into his nose?Or pierce his jaw through with a {Or, spike}hook?
and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.
For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,
Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto {Or, wrath}the wrath of God: for it is written, {Deuteronomy 32:35}Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.
