American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
My son, if thy heart be wise,My heart will be glad, even mine:
Yea, my {Hebrew: reins.}heart will rejoice,When thy lips speak right things.
Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without {Or, doubtfulness Or, partiality}variance, without hypocrisy.
And wisdom {Or, was}is justified of all her children.
Whom I, even I, shall see, {Or, for myself}on my side,And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.My {Hebrew: reins.}heart is consumed within me.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:For the righteous God trieth the minds and {Hebrew: reins}hearts.
I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel;Yea, my {Hebrew: reins.}heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;Try my {Hebrew: reins.}heart and my mind.
But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judgest righteously, who triest the {Hebrew: reins.}heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his {Greek: presence. Compare 2 Corinthians 10:10.}coming?
For ye are our glory and our joy.
