Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and sayH559 unto them, When I bringH935 the swordH2719 upon a landH776, if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 takeH3947 aH259 manH376 of their coastsH7097, and setH5414 him for their watchmanH6822: {When…: Heb. A land when I bring a sword upon her}
If when he seethH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935 upon the landH776, he blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and warnH2094 the peopleH5971;
Then whosoeverH8085 hearethH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and taketh not warningH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and take him awayH3947, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his own headH7218. {whosoever…: Heb. he that hearing heareth}
He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094 shall deliverH4422 his soulH5315.
But if the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman'sH6822 handH3027.
So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
Therefore, O thou sonH1121 of manH120, speakH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Thus ye speakH559, sayingH559, If our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 be upon us, and we pine awayH4743 in them, how should we then liveH2421?
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588: as for the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563, he shall not fallH3782 thereby in the dayH3117 that he turnethH7725 from his wickednessH7562; neither shall the righteousH6662 be ableH3201 to liveH2421 for his righteousness in the dayH3117 that he sinnethH2398.
When I shall sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; if he trustH982 to his own righteousnessH6666, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, all his righteousnessesH6666 shall not be rememberedH2142; but for his iniquityH5766 that he hath committedH6213, he shall dieH4191 for it.
Again, when I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if he turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; {that…: Heb. judgment and justice}
If the wickedH7563 restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, give againH7999 that he had robbedH1500, walkH1980 in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, without committingH6213 iniquityH5766; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
None of his sinsH2403 that he hath committedH2398 shall be mentionedH2142 unto him: he hath doneH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666; he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
Yet the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505: but as for them, their wayH1870 is not equalH8505.
When the righteousH6662 turnethH7725 from his righteousnessH6666, and committethH6213 iniquityH5766, he shall even dieH4191 thereby.
But if the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wickednessH7564, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall liveH2421 thereby.
Yet ye sayH559, The wayH1870 of the LordH136 is not equalH8505. O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, I will judgeH8199 you every oneH376 after his waysH1870.
And it came to pass in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of our captivityH1546, in the tenthH6224 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, that one that had escapedH6412 out of JerusalemH3389 cameH935 unto me, sayingH559, The cityH5892 is smittenH5221.
Now the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me in the eveningH6153, aforeH6440 he that was escapedH6412 cameH935; and had openedH6605 my mouthH6310, until he cameH935 to me in the morningH1242; and my mouthH6310 was openedH6605, and I was no more dumbH481.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, they that inhabitH3427 those wastesH2723 of the landH127 of IsraelH3478 speakH559, sayingH559, AbrahamH85 was oneH259, and he inheritedH3423 the landH776: but we are manyH7227; the landH776 is givenH5414 us for inheritanceH4181.
Wherefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Ye eatH398 with the bloodH1818, and lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 toward your idolsH1544, and shedH8210 bloodH1818: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
Ye standH5975 upon your swordH2719, ye workH6213 abominationH8441, and ye defileH2930 every oneH376 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
SayH559 thou thus unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely they that are in the wastesH2723 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and him that is in the openH6440 fieldH7704 will I giveH5414 to the beastsH2416 to be devouredH398, and they that be in the fortsH4679 and in the cavesH4631 shall dieH4191 of the pestilenceH1698. {to be…: Heb. to devour him}
For I will layH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077, and the pompH1347 of her strengthH5797 shall ceaseH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall be desolateH8074, that none shall pass throughH5674. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have laidH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077 because of all their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 still are talkingH1696 againstH681 thee by the wallsH7023 and in the doorsH6607 of the housesH1004, and speakH1696 oneH2297 to anotherH259, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, sayingH559, ComeH935, I pray you, and hearH8085 what is the wordH1697 that cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068. {against thee: of, of thee}
And they comeH935 unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213 them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213 much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980 afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. {as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit…: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovelyH5690 songH7892 of one that hath a pleasantH3303 voiceH6963, and can play wellH2895 on an instrumentH5059: for they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they doH6213 them not. {a very…: Heb. a song of loves}
And when this cometh to passH935, (lo, it will comeH935,) then shall they knowH3045 that a prophetH5030 hath been amongH8432 them.

And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein.
And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of your wordsH1697, when ye spakeH1696 unto me; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, I have heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697 of this peopleH5971, which they have spokenH1696 unto thee: they have wellH3190 said all that they have spokenH1696.
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was unto them preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191; that they might goH3212, and fallH3782 backwardH268, and be brokenH7665, and snaredH3369, and takenH3920.
No manG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756+G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
O that there were suchH2088 anH4310 heartH3824 in themH5414, that they would fearH3372 me, and keepH8104 all my commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3117, that it might be wellH3190 with them, and with their childrenH1121 for everH5769!
And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592 thee, sayingH559, What is the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068? thou shalt then sayH559 unto them, What burdenH4853? I will even forsakeH5203 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, I will even punishH6485 that manH376 and his houseH1004. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Thus shall ye sayH559 every oneH376 to his neighbourH7453, and every oneH376 to his brotherH251, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142 no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015 the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430.
Thus shalt thou sayH559 to the prophetH5030, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 thee? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
ButH518 since ye sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068; therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Because ye sayH559 this wordH1697, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, and I have sentH7971 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068;
He alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173 isG2076 he thatG3778 hearethG191 the wordG3056; andG2532 the careG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175.
And it came to pass in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye comeH935 to enquireH1875 of me? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1: {Wilt…: or, Wilt thou plead for them}
And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and made myself knownH3045 unto them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I liftedH5375 up mine handH3027 unto them, sayingH559, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; {lifted…: or, sware}
In the dayH3117 that I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them, to bring them forthH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had espiedH8446 for them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776:
Then saidH559 I unto them, Cast ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Wherefore I caused them to go forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 them into the wildernessH4057.
And I gaveH5414 them my statutesH2708, and shewedH3045 them my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them. {shewed…: Heb. made them to know}
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776;
Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.
Nevertheless mine eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them from destroyingH7843 them, neither did I makeH6213 an endH3617 of them in the wildernessH4057.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them;
And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 mine handH3027, and wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them forthH3318.
I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them also in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776;
Because they had not executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but had despisedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathers'H1 idolsH1544.
Wherefore I gaveH5414 them also statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and judgmentsH4941 whereby they should not liveH2421;
And I pollutedH2930 them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to pass throughH5674 the fire all that openethH6363 the wombH7356, that I might make them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Yet in this your fathersH1 have blasphemedH1442 me, in that they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604 against me. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
Then I saidH559 unto them, What is the high placeH1116 whereunto ye goH935? And the nameH8034 thereof is calledH7121 BamahH1117 unto this dayH3117. {I said…: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah}
Wherefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye pollutedH2930 after the mannerH1870 of your fathersH1? and commit ye whoredomH2181 afterH310 their abominationsH8251?
For when ye offerH5375 your giftsH4979, when ye make your sonsH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, ye polluteH2930 yourselves with all your idolsH1544, even unto this dayH3117: and shall I be enquiredH1875 of by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
And that which comethH5927 into your mindH7307 shall not be at all, that ye sayH559, We will beH1961 as the heathenH1471, as the familiesH4940 of the countriesH776, to serveH8334 woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And it came to pass, that when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto all the peopleH5971 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, for which the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him to them, even all these wordsH1697,
Then spakeH559 AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of HoshaiahH1955, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the proudH2086 menH582, sayingH559 unto JeremiahH3414, Thou speakestH1696 falselyH8267: the LORDH3068 our GodH430 hath not sentH7971 thee to sayH559, GoH935 not into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there:
But BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 setteth thee onH5496 against us, for toH4616 deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, that they might put us to deathH4191, and carry us away captivesH1540 into BabylonH894.
So JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, and all the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, to dwellH3427 in the landH776 of JudahH3063.
But JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, tookH3947 all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that were returnedH7725 from all nationsH1471, whither they had been drivenH5080, to dwellH1481 in the landH776 of JudahH3063;
Even menH1397, and womenH802, and childrenH2945, and the king'sH4428 daughtersH1323, and every personH5315 that NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had leftH3240 with GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, and BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374.
So they cameH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714: for they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: thus cameH935 they even to TahpanhesH8471.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
AndG1161 the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532, who wereG5225 covetousG5366, heardG191 allG3956 these thingsG5023: andG2532 they deridedG1592 himG846.
ButG1161 when the young manG3495 heardG191 that sayingG3056, he went awayG565 sorrowfulG3076: forG1063 he hadG2192+G2258 greatG4183 possessionsG2933.
AndG2532 sheG3592 hadG2258 a sisterG79 calledG2564 MaryG3137, whichG3739 alsoG2532 satG3869 atG3844 Jesus'G2424 feetG4228, and heardG191 hisG846 wordG3056.
As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Take heedG3708, andG2532 bewareG5442 ofG575 covetousnessG4124: forG3754 a man'sG5100+G846 lifeG2222 consistethG2076 notG3756 inG1722 the abundanceG4052 ofG1537 the things which heG846 possessethG5224.
AndG1161 he spakeG2036 a parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, The groundG5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifullyG2164:
AndG2532 he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 myG3450 fruitsG2590?
AndG2532 he saidG2036, ThisG5124 will I doG4160: I will pull downG2507 myG3450 barnsG596, andG2532 buildG3618 greaterG3187; andG2532 thereG1563 will I bestowG4863 allG3956 myG3450 fruitsG1081 andG2532 myG3450 goodsG18.
AndG2532 I will sayG2046 to myG3450 soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hastG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine easeG373, eatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
SoG3779 is he that layeth up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438, andG2532 isG4147 notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.
ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4571; andG5037 thouG4771 hast wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 areG3918 weG2249 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 that are commandedG4367 theeG4671 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ThereforeG3767 whosoeverG3956+G3748 hearethG191 theseG5128 sayingsG3056 of mineG3450, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846, I will likenG3666 himG846 unto a wiseG5429 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3614 uponG1909 a rockG4073:
AndG2532 the rainG1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4363 thatG1565 houseG3614; andG2532 it fellG4098 notG3756: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
AndG2532 every oneG3956 that hearethG191 theseG5128 sayingsG3056 of mineG3450, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846 notG3361, shall be likenedG3666 unto a foolishG3474 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3614 uponG1909 the sandG285:
AndG2532 the rainG1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4350 thatG1565 houseG3614; andG2532 it fellG4098: andG2532 greatG3173 wasG2258 the fallG4431 of itG846.
Wherefore the LordH136 saidH559, ForasmuchH3282 as this peopleH5971 draw nearH5066 me with their mouthH6310, and with their lipsH8193 do honourH3513 me, but have removedH7368 their heartH3820 farH7368 from me, and their fearH3374 toward me is taughtH3925 by the preceptH4687 of menH582:
ForG1063 thisG5124 ye knowG2075+G1097, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 whoremongerG4205, norG2228 unclean personG169, norG2228 covetous manG4123, whoG3739 isG2076 an idolaterG1496, hathG2192 any inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of ChristG5547 andG2532 of GodG2316.
He isG2076 likeG3664 a manG444 whichG3739 builtG3618 an houseG3614, andG2532 diggedG4626 deepG900, andG2532 laidG5087 the foundationG2310 onG1909 a rockG4073: andG1161 when the floodG4132 aroseG1096, the streamG4215 beat vehementlyG4366 upon thatG1565 houseG3614, andG2532 couldG2480 notG3756 shakeG4531 itG846: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
WhatG5101 doth it profitG3786, myG3450 brethrenG80, thoughG1437 a manG5100 sayG3004 he hathG2192 faithG4102, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 worksG2041? canG1410+G3361 faithG4102 saveG4982 himG846?
IfG1437+G1161 a brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 beG5225 nakedG1131, andG2532 destituteG3007+G5600 of dailyG2184 foodG5160,
AndG1161 oneG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 sayG2036 unto themG846, DepartG5217 inG1722 peaceG1515, be ye warmedG2328 andG2532 filledG5526; notwithstandingG1161 ye giveG1325 themG846 notG3361 those things which are needfulG2006 to the bodyG4983; whatG5101 doth it profitG3786?
ButG1161 they that willG1014 be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803, andG2532 into manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lustsG1939, whichG3748 drownG1036 menG444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perditionG684.
ButG1161 he that hearethG191, andG2532 doethG4160 notG3361, isG2076 likeG3664 a manG444 that withoutG5565 a foundationG2310 builtG3618 an houseG3614 uponG1909 the earthG1093; againstG4366 whichG3739 the streamG4215 did beat vehementlyG4366, andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it fellG4098; andG2532 the ruinG4485 of thatG1565 houseG3614 wasG1096 greatG3173.
ButG1161 whosoG3739+G302 hathG2192 this world'sG2889 goodG979, andG2532 seethG2334 hisG846 brotherG80 haveG2192 needG5532, andG2532 shutteth upG2808 hisG846 bowelsG4698 of compassion fromG575 himG846, howG4459 dwellethG3306 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846?
ForG1063 the love of moneyG5365 isG2076 the rootG4491 of allG3956 evilG2556: whichG3739 while someG5100 coveted afterG3713, they have erredG635 fromG575 the faithG4102, andG2532 piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 throughG4044 with manyG4183 sorrowsG3601. {erred: or, been seduced}
AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MyG3450 motherG3384 andG2532 myG3450 brethrenG80 areG1526 theseG3778 whichG3588 hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 doG4160 itG846.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, let usG25 notG3361 loveG25 in wordG3056, neitherG3366 in tongueG1100; butG235 in deedG2041 andG2532 in truthG225.
ButG1161 heG846 saidG2036, Yea ratherG3304, blessedG3107 are they that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5442 itG846.
ButG1161 be yeG1096 doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438.
ForG3754 if anyG1536 beG2076 a hearerG202 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3756 a doerG4163, heG3778 is likeG1503 unto a manG435 beholdingG2657 hisG846 naturalG1078 faceG4383 inG1722 a glassG2072:
ForG1063 he beholdethG2657 himselfG1438, andG2532 goeth his wayG565, andG2532 straightwayG2112 forgettethG1950 what manner of manG3697 he wasG2258.
