For the transgressionH6588 of a landH776 manyH7227 are the princesH8269 thereof: but by a manH120 of understandingH995 and knowledgeH3045 the stateH3651 thereof shall be prolongedH748. {by…: or, by men of understanding and wisdom shall they likewise be prolonged}
A poorH7326 manH1397 that oppressethH6231 the poorH1800 is like a sweepingH5502 rainH4306 which leaveth no foodH3899. {which…: Heb. without food}

Whoso keepethH5341 the lawH8451 is a wiseH995 sonH1121: but he that is a companionH7462 of riotousH2151 men shamethH3637 his fatherH1. {is a companion…: or, feedeth gluttons}
He that by usuryH5392 and unjust gainH8636 increasethH7235 his substanceH1952, he shall gatherH6908 it for him that will pityH2603 the poorH1800. {unjust…: Heb. by increase}
He that turneth awayH5493 his earH241 from hearingH8085 the lawH8451, even his prayerH8605 shall be abominationH8441.
Whoso causeth the righteousH3477 to go astrayH7686 in an evilH7451 wayH1870, he shall fallH5307 himself into his own pitH7816: but the uprightH8549 shall have goodH2896 things in possessionH5157.
The richH6223 manH376 is wiseH2450 in his own conceitH5869; but the poorH1800 that hath understandingH995 searcheth him outH2713. {own…: Heb. eyes}
When righteousH6662 men do rejoiceH5970, there is greatH7227 gloryH8597: but when the wickedH7563 riseH6965, a manH120 is hiddenH2664. {hidden: or, sought for}

To have respectH5234 of personsH6440 is not goodH2896: for for a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 that manH1397 will transgressH6586.
HeH376 that hastethH926 to be richH1952 hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, and considerethH3045 not that povertyH2639 shall comeH935 upon him. {hasteth…: or, hath and evil eye hasteth to be rich}

He that is of a proudH7342 heartH5315 stirreth upH1624 strifeH4066: but he that putteth his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be made fatH1878.
He that trustethH982 in his own heartH3820 is a foolH3684: but whoso walkethH1980 wiselyH2451, he shall be deliveredH4422.
He that givethH5414 unto the poorH7326 shall not lackH4270: but he that hidethH5956 his eyesH5869 shall have manyH7227 a curseH3994.

And AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Hast thou foundH4672 me, O mine enemyH341? And he answeredH559, I have foundH4672 thee: because thou hast soldH4376 thyself to workH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 thou therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 on his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall persuadeH6601 AhabH256, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And one saidH559 on this mannerH3541, and another saidH559 on that mannerH3541. {persuade: or, deceive}
And there came forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will persuadeH6601 him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
But ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 went nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which wayH335 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 in that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself. {into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 unto AmonH526 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king'sH4428 sonH1121;
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, PutH7760 this fellow in the prisonH1004+H3608, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I comeH935 in peaceH7965.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou returnH7725 at allH7725 in peaceH7965, the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, O peopleH5971, every one of you.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, What have I to do with thee? getH3212 thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Nay: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121, to deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124.
And ElishaH477 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, surely, were it not thatH3884 I regardH5375 the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would not lookH5027 toward thee, nor seeH7200 thee.
Then I consultedH4427 with myselfH3820, and I rebukedH7378 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exactH5378+H5383+H5375 usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them. {I consulted…: Heb. my heart consulted in me}
And I saidH559 unto them, We after our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, which were soldH4376 unto the heathenH1471; and will ye even sellH4376 your brethrenH251? or shall they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peaceH2790, and foundH4672 nothingH1697 to answer.
Also I saidH559, It is not goodH2896 thatH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341?
I likewise, and my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and cornH1715: I pray you, let us leave offH5800 this usuryH4855.
RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their landsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyardsH2132, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 part of the moneyH3701, and of the cornH1715, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exactH5383 of them.
Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; so will we doH6213 as thou sayestH559. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they should doH6213 according to this promiseH1697.
Also I shookH5287 my lapH2684, and saidH559, So GodH430 shake outH5287 every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labourH3018, that performethH6965 not this promiseH1697, even thus be he shaken outH5287, and emptiedH7386. And all the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 according to this promiseH1697. {emptied: Heb. empty, or, void}
And it grievedH3415 me soreH3966: therefore I cast forthH7993 all the householdH1004 stuffH3627 of TobiahH2900 out ofH2351 the chamberH3957.
Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and thither brought I againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the meat offeringH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.
And I perceivedH3045 that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them: for the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that didH6213 the workH4399, were fledH1272 every oneH376 to his fieldH7704.
Then contendedH7378 I with the rulersH5461, and saidH559, Why is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsakenH5800? And I gathered them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977. {place: Heb. standing}
Then I contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this that ye doH6213, and profaneH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117?
DidH6213 not your fathersH1 thus, and didH935 not our GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us, and upon this cityH5892? yet ye bringH935 moreH3254 wrathH2740 upon IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676.
And it came to pass, that when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to be darkH6751 beforeH6440 the sabbathH7676, I commandedH559 that the gatesH1817 should be shutH5462, and chargedH559 that they should not be openedH6605 till afterH310 the sabbathH7676: and some of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I at the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 be brought inH935 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
So the merchantsH7402 and sellersH4376 of all kind of wareH4465 lodgedH3885 withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389 onceH6471 or twiceH8147.
In those daysH3117 also sawH7200 I JewsH3064 that had marriedH3427 wivesH802 of AshdodH796, of AmmonH5984, and of MoabH4125: {had…: Heb. had made to dwell with them}
And their childrenH1121 spakeH1696 halfH2677 in the speech of AshdodH797, and couldH5234 not speakH1696 in the Jews' languageH3066, but according to the languageH3956 of eachH5971 peopleH5971. {could…: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each…: Heb. of people and people}
And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 of his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did outlandishH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398.
And one of the sonsH1121 of JoiadaH3111, the sonH1121 of EliashibH475 the highH1419 priestH3548, was son in lawH2860 to SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772: therefore I chasedH1272 him from me.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
ForG1063 JohnG2491 saidG3004 unto himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 herG846.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
ButG1161 whenG5613 diversG5100 were hardenedG4645, andG2532 believed notG544, but spake evilG2551 of that wayG3598 beforeG1799 the multitudeG4128, he departedG868 fromG575 themG846, and separatedG873 the disciplesG3101, disputingG1256 dailyG2596+G2250 inG1722 the schoolG4981 of oneG5100 TyrannusG5181.
ButG235 neitherG3761 TitusG5103, whoG3588 was withG4862 meG1698, beingG5607 a GreekG1672, was compelledG315 to be circumcisedG4059:
AndG1161 that because ofG1223 false brethrenG5569 unawares brought inG3920, whoG3748 came in privilyG3922 to spy outG2684 ourG2257 libertyG1657 whichG3739 we haveG2192 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, thatG2443 they might bringG2615 usG2248 into bondageG2615:
To whomG3739 we gave placeG1502 by subjectionG5292, no, notG3761 forG4314 an hourG5610; thatG2443 the truthG225 of the gospelG2098 might continueG1265 withG4314 youG5209.
ButG1161 ofG575 these who seemedG1380 to beG1511 somewhatG5100, (whatsoeverG3697+G4218 they wereG2258, it makethG1308 noG3762 matterG1308 to meG3427: GodG2316 acceptethG2983 noG3756 man'sG444 personG4383:) forG1063 they who seemedG1380 to be somewhat in conference addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1698:
AndG2532 haveG4790 noG3361 fellowshipG4790 with the unfruitfulG175 worksG2041 of darknessG4655, butG1161 ratherG3123+G2532 reproveG1651 them.
ButG235 evenG2532 after that we had suffered beforeG4310, andG2532 were shamefully entreatedG5195, asG2531 ye knowG1492, atG1722 PhilippiG5375, we were boldG3955 inG1722 ourG2257 GodG2316 to speakG2980 untoG4314 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 withG1722 muchG4183 contentionG73.
BelovedG27, when I gaveG4160 allG3956 diligenceG4710 to writeG1125 unto youG5213 ofG4012 the commonG2839 salvationG4991, it wasG2192 needfulG318 for meG2192 to writeG1125 unto youG5213, and exhortG3870 you that ye should earnestly contendG1864 for the faithG4102 which was onceG530 deliveredG3860 unto the saintsG40.
