DeadH4194 fliesH2070 cause the ointmentH8081 of the apothecaryH7543 to send forthH5042 a stinking savourH887: so doth a littleH4592 follyH5531 him that is in reputationH3368 for wisdomH2451 and honourH3519. {Dead…: Heb. Flies of death}
A wise man'sH2450 heartH3820 is at his right handH3225; but a fool'sH3684 heartH3820 at his leftH8040.
Yea also, when he that is a foolH5530 walkethH1980 by the wayH1870, his wisdomH3820 failethH2638 him, and he saithH559 to every one that he is a foolH5530. {his…: Heb. his heart}
If the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 rise upH5927 against thee, leaveH3240 not thy placeH4725; for yieldingH4832 pacifiethH3240 greatH1419 offencesH2399.
There isH3426 an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, as an errorH7684 which proceedethH3318 fromH6440 the rulerH7989: {from: Heb. from before}
FollyH5529 is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignityH4791, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in low placeH8216. {in great…: Heb. in great heights}
I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 upon horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 upon the earthH776.
He that diggethH2658 a pitH1475 shall fallH5307 into it; and whoso breakethH6555 an hedgeH1447, a serpentH5175 shall biteH5391 him.
Whoso removethH5265 stonesH68 shall be hurtH6087 therewith; and he that cleavethH1234 woodH6086 shall be endangeredH5533 thereby.
If the ironH1270 be bluntH6949, and he do not whetH7043 the edgeH6440, then must he putH1396 to more strengthH2428: but wisdomH2451 is profitableH3504 to directH3787.
Surely the serpentH5175 will biteH5391 without enchantmentH3908; and a babblerH3956+H1167 is no betterH3504. {a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue}
The wordsH1697 of a wise man'sH2450 mouthH6310 are graciousH2580; but the lipsH8193 of a foolH3684 will swallow upH1104 himself. {gracious: Heb. grace}
The beginningH8462 of the wordsH1697 of his mouthH6310 is foolishnessH5531: and the endH319 of his talkH6310 is mischievousH7451 madnessH1948. {his talk: Heb. his mouth}
A foolH5530 also is fullH7235 of wordsH1697: a manH120 cannot tellH3045 what shall be; and what shall be afterH310 him, who can tellH5046 him? {is full…: Heb. multiplieth words}
The labourH5999 of the foolishH3684 weariethH3021 every one of them, because he knowethH3045 not how to goH3212 to the cityH5892.
WoeH337 to thee, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is a childH5288, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in the morningH1242!
BlessedH835 art thou, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is the sonH1121 of noblesH2715, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in due seasonH6256, for strengthH1369, and not for drunkennessH8358!
By much slothfulnessH6103 the buildingH4746 decayethH4355; and through idlenessH8220 of the handsH3027 the houseH1004 droppeth throughH1811.
A feastH3899 is madeH6213 for laughterH7814, and wineH3196 maketh merryH8055+H2416: but moneyH3701 answerethH6030 all things. {maketh…: Heb. maketh glad the life}
CurseH7043 not the kingH4428, no not in thy thoughtH4093; and curseH7043 not the richH6223 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904: for a birdH5775 of the airH8064 shall carryH3212 the voiceH6963, and that which hathH1167 wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697. {thought: or, conscience}

The labourH5999 of the foolishH3684 weariethH3021 every one of them, because he knowethH3045 not how to goH3212 to the cityH5892.
Now there was foundH4672 in it a poorH4542 wiseH2450 manH376, and he by his wisdomH2451 deliveredH4422 the cityH5892; yet no manH120 rememberedH2142 that same poorH4542 manH376.
Then saidH559 I, WisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than strengthH1369: nevertheless the poor man'sH4542 wisdomH2451 is despisedH959, and his wordsH1697 are not heardH8085.
The wordsH1697 of wiseH2450 men are heardH8085 in quietH5183 more than the cryH2201 of him that rulethH4910 among foolsH3684.
Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141. {officers: or, overseers}
And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of those goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 cornH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and let them keepH8104 foodH400 in the citiesH5892.
And that foodH400 shall be for storeH6487 to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 not through the famineH7458. {perish…: Heb. be not cut off}
And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a one as thisH2088 is, a manH376 in whomH834 the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 is?
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, ForasmuchH310 as GodH430 hath shewedH3045 thee all this, there is none so discreetH995 and wiseH2450 as thou art:
HearkenH8085 now unto my voiceH6963, I will give thee counselH3289, and GodH430 shall beH1961 with thee: Be thou for the peopleH5971 to God-wardH4136+H430, that thou mayest bringH935 the causesH1697 unto GodH430:
And thou shalt teachH2094+H853 them ordinancesH2706 and lawsH8451, and shalt shewH3045 them the wayH1870 wherein they must walkH3212, and the workH4639 that they must doH6213.
Moreover thou shalt provideH2372 out of all the peopleH5971 ableH2428 menH582, such as fearH3373 GodH430, menH582 of truthH571, hatingH8130 covetousnessH1215; and placeH7760 such over them, to be rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, and rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235:
And let them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: and it shall be, that every greatH1419 matterH1697 they shall bringH935 unto thee, but every smallH6996 matterH1697 they shall judgeH8199: so shall it be easierH7043 for thyself, and they shall bearH5375 the burden with thee.
If thou shalt doH6213 this thingH1697, and GodH430 commandH6680 thee so, then thou shalt be ableH3201 to endureH5975, and all this peopleH5971 shall also goH935 to their placeH4725 in peaceH7965.
GiveH5414 therefore thy servantH5650 an understandingH8085 heartH3820 to judgeH8199 thy peopleH5971, that I may discernH995 between goodH2896 and badH7451: for who is ableH3201 to judgeH8199 this thy so greatH3515 a peopleH5971? {understanding: Heb. hearing}
And of the childrenH1121 of IssacharH3485, which were men that had understandingH998+H3045 of the timesH6256, to knowH3045 what IsraelH3478 ought to doH6213; the headsH7218 of them were two hundredH3967; and all their brethrenH251 were at their commandmentH6310.
This is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213; A third partH7992 of you enteringH935 on the sabbathH7676, of the priestsH3548 and of the LevitesH3881, shall be portersH7778 of the doorsH5592; {doors: Heb. thresholds}
And a third partH7992 shall be at the king'sH4428 houseH1004; and a third partH7992 at the gateH8179 of the foundationH3247: and all the peopleH5971 shall be in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
But let none comeH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, save the priestsH3548, and they that ministerH8334 of the LevitesH3881; they shall go inH935, for they are holyH6944: but all the peopleH5971 shall keepH8104 the watchH4931 of the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881 shall compassH5362 the kingH4428 round aboutH5439, every manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whosoever else comethH935 into the houseH1004, he shall be put to deathH4191: but be ye with the kingH4428 when he cometh inH935, and when he goeth outH3318.
So the LevitesH3881 and all JudahH3063 didH6213 according to all things that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 had commandedH6680, and tookH3947 every manH376 his menH582 that were to come inH935 on the sabbathH7676, with them that were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676: for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 dismissedH6358 not the coursesH4256.
Moreover JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 deliveredH5414 to the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 spearsH2595, and bucklersH4043, and shieldsH7982, that had been kingH4428 David'sH1732, which were in the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And he setH5975 all the peopleH5971, every manH376 having his weaponH7973 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the templeH1004 to the leftH8042 sideH3802 of the templeH1004, along by the altarH4196 and the templeH1004, by the kingH4428 round aboutH5439. {side: Heb. shoulder} {temple: Heb. house}
Then they brought outH3318 the king'sH4428 sonH1121, and putH5414 upon him the crownH5145, and gave him the testimonyH5715, and made him kingH4427. And JehoiadaH3077 and his sonsH1121 anointedH4886 him, and saidH559, God saveH2421 the kingH4428. {God…: Heb. Let the king live}
BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 youG5209 forthG649 asG5613 sheepG4263 inG1722 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074: be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 wiseG5429 asG5613 serpentsG3789, andG2532 harmlessG185 asG5613 dovesG4058. {harmless: or, simple}
AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multipliedG4129, there aroseG1096 a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865 inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG1248.
ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341 the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 unto them, and saidG2036, It isG2076 notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and serveG1247 tablesG5132.
WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980 amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest reportG3140, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525 overG1909 thisG5026 businessG5532.
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
WhomG3739 they setG2476 beforeG1799 the apostlesG652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846.
AndG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 increasedG837; andG2532 the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 multipliedG4129 inG1722 JerusalemG2419 greatlyG4970; andG5037 a greatG4183 companyG3793 of the priestsG2409 were obedientG5219 to the faithG4102.
AndG1161 StephenG4736, fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 powerG1411, didG4160 greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 miraclesG4592 amongG1722 the peopleG2992.
ThenG1161 there aroseG450 certainG5100 ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, whichG3588 is calledG3004 the synagogue of the LibertinesG3032, andG2532 CyreniansG2956, andG2532 AlexandriansG221, andG2532 of them ofG575 CiliciaG2791 andG2532 of AsiaG773, disputingG4802 with StephenG4736.
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.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ForG1063 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is come abroadG864 untoG1519 allG3956 men. I am gladG5463 thereforeG3767 onG1909 yourG5213 behalfG1909: but yetG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 wiseG4680 untoG1519 that which isG1511 goodG3303+G18, andG1161 simpleG185 concerningG1519 evilG2556. {simple: or, harmless}
BrethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 childrenG3813 in understandingG5424: howbeitG235 in maliceG2549 be ye childrenG3515, butG1161 in understandingG5424 beG1096 menG5046. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}
SeeG991 thenG3767 thatG4459 ye walkG4043 circumspectlyG199, notG3361 asG5613 foolsG781, butG235 asG5613 wiseG4680,
RedeemingG1805 the timeG2540, becauseG3754 the daysG2250 areG1526 evilG4190.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 be yeG1096 notG3361 unwiseG878, butG235 understandingG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is.
