American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind;And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;And he that is wise winneth souls.
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:How much more the wicked and the sinner!
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
And I will say to my {Or, life}soul, {Or, life}Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night {Greek: they require thy soul.}is thy {Or, life}soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree:He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in the house of Jehovah;They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;They shall be full of sap and green:
To show that Jehovah is upright;He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not {According to another reading, see.}fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.
To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:How much more the wicked and the sinner!
Sheol and {Or, Destruction}Abaddon are before Jehovah:How much more then the hearts of the children of men!
All the brethren of the poor do hate him:How much more do his friends go far from him! {Or, he pursueth after words, which are nought}He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination:How much more, when he bringeth it {Or, to atone for wickedness}with a wicked mind!
And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
