JudgeG2919 notG3361, thatG3363 ye beG2919 notG3363 judgedG2919.
ForG1722 withG3739 whatG1063 judgmentG2917 ye judgeG2919, ye shall be judgedG2919: andG2532 withG1722 whatG3739 measureG3358 ye meteG3354, it shall be measuredG488 to youG5213 againG488.
AndG1161 whyG5101 beholdestG991 thou the moteG2595 that is inG1722 thyG4675 brother'sG80 eyeG3788, butG1161 considerestG2657 notG3756 the beamG1385 that is inG1722 thine ownG4674 eyeG3788?
OrG2228 howG4459 wilt thou sayG2046 to thyG4675 brotherG80, LetG863 me pull outG1544 the moteG2595 out ofG575 thineG4675 eyeG3788; andG2532, beholdG2400, a beamG1385 is inG1722 thine ownG4675 eyeG3788?
Thou hypocriteG5273, firstG4412 cast outG1544 the beamG1385 out ofG1537 thine ownG4675 eyeG3788; andG2532 thenG5119 shalt thou see clearlyG1227 to cast outG1544 the moteG2595 out ofG1537 thyG4675 brother'sG80 eyeG3788.
GiveG1325 notG3361 that whichG3588 is holyG40 unto the dogsG2965, neitherG3366 castG906 ye yourG5216 pearlsG3135 beforeG1715 swineG5519, lestG3379 they trampleG2662 themG846 underG1722 theirG846 feetG4228, andG2532 turn againG4762 and rendG4486 youG5209.
AskG154, andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 youG5213; seekG2212, andG2532 ye shall findG2147; knockG2925, andG2532 it shall be openedG455 unto youG5213:
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that askethG154 receivethG2983; andG2532 he that seekethG2212 findethG2147; andG2532 to him that knockethG2925 it shall be openedG455.
OrG2228 whatG5101 manG444 isG2076 there ofG1537 youG5216, whomG3739 ifG1437 hisG846 sonG5207 askG154 breadG740, will he giveG3361+G1929 himG846 a stoneG3037?
OrG2532 ifG1437 he askG154 a fishG2486, will he giveG3361+G1929 himG846 a serpentG3789?
IfG1487 yeG5210 thenG3767, beingG5607 evilG4190, knowG1492 how to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 unto yourG5216 childrenG5043, how muchG4214 moreG3123 shall yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772 giveG1325 good thingsG18 to them that askG154 himG846?
ThereforeG3767 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG302+G3745 ye wouldG2309 thatG2443 menG444 should doG4160 to youG5213, doG4160 yeG5210 evenG2532 soG3779 to themG846: forG1063 thisG3778 isG2076 the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396.
Enter ye inG1525 atG1223 the straitG4728 gateG4439: forG3754 wideG4116 is the gateG4439, andG2532 broadG2149 is the wayG3598, that leadethG520 toG1519 destructionG684, andG2532 manyG4183 there beG1526 whichG3588 go inG1525 thereatG1223+G846: {strait: or, narrow}
BecauseG3754 straitG4728 is the gateG4439, andG2532 narrowG2346 is the wayG3598, whichG3588 leadethG520 untoG1519 lifeG2222, andG2532 fewG3641 there beG1526 that findG2147 itG846. {Because: or, How}
BewareG1161+G4337 ofG575 false prophetsG5578, whichG3748 comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 sheep'sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1526 raveningG727 wolvesG3074.
Ye shall knowG1921 themG846 byG575 theirG846 fruitsG2590+G3385. Do men gatherG4816 grapesG4718 ofG575 thornsG173, orG2228 figsG4810 ofG575 thistlesG5146?
Even soG3779 everyG3956 goodG18 treeG1186 bringeth forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590; butG1161 a corruptG4550 treeG1186 bringeth forthG4160 evilG4190 fruitG2590.
A goodG18 treeG1186 cannotG3756+G1410 bring forthG4160 evilG4190 fruitG2590, neitherG3761 can a corruptG4550 treeG1186 bring forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590.
EveryG3956 treeG1186 that bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
WhereforeG686 byG575 theirG846 fruitsG2590 ye shall knowG1921 themG846.
NotG3756 every oneG3956 that saithG3004 unto meG3427, LordG2962, LordG2962, shall enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; butG235 he that doethG4160 the willG2307 of myG3450 FatherG3962 which is inG1722 heavenG3772.
ManyG4183 will sayG2046 to meG3427 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250, LordG2962, LordG2962, have weG4395 notG3756 prophesiedG4395 in thyG4674 nameG3686? andG2532 in thyG4674 nameG3686 have cast outG1544 devilsG1140? andG2532 in thyG4674 nameG3686 doneG4160 manyG4183 wonderful worksG1411?
AndG2532 thenG5119 will I professG3670 unto themG846+G3754, I neverG3763 knewG1097 youG5209: departG672 fromG575 meG1700, ye that workG2038 iniquityG458.
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.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG3753 JesusG2424 had endedG4931 theseG5128 sayingsG3056, the peopleG3793 were astonishedG1605 atG1909 hisG846 doctrineG1322:
ForG1063 he taughtG1321+G2258 themG846 asG5613 one havingG2192 authorityG1849, andG2532 notG3756 asG5613 the scribesG1122.

ButG1161 bewareG4337 ofG575 menG444: forG1063 they will deliverG3860 youG5209 upG3860 toG1519 the councilsG4892, andG2532 they will scourgeG3146 youG5209 inG1722 theirG846 synagoguesG4864;
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, Take heedG991 that noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG4105 youG5209.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the prophetsH5030 shall be ashamedH954 every oneH376 of his visionH2384, when he hath prophesiedH5012; neither shall they wearH3847 a roughH8181 garmentH155 to deceiveH3584: {a rough…: Heb. a garment of hair} {deceive: Heb. lie}
His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, Take heedG3708 andG2532 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523.
ForG1063 manyG4183 shall comeG2064 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686, sayingG3004, IG1473 amG1510 ChristG5547; andG2532 shall deceiveG4105 manyG4183.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG1322, BewareG991 ofG575 the scribesG1122, whichG3588 loveG2309 to goG4043 inG1722 long clothingG4749, andG2532 love salutationsG783 inG1722 the marketplacesG58,
AndG2532 the chief seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 the uppermost roomsG4411 atG1722 feastsG1173:
Which devourG2719 widows'G5503 housesG3614, andG2532 for a pretenceG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336: theseG3778 shall receiveG2983 greaterG4055 damnationG2917.
Yea, they are greedyH5794+H5315 dogsH3611 which canH3045 never haveH3045 enoughH7654, and they are shepherdsH7462 that cannot understandH995: they all lookH6437 to their own wayH1870, every oneH376 for his gainH1215, from his quarterH7097. {greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can…: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
HowG4459 is it thatG3754 ye doG3539 notG3756 understandG3539 that I spakeG2036 it notG3756 to youG5213 concerningG4012 breadG740, that ye should bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523?
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, markG4648 them which causeG4160 divisionsG1370 andG2532 offencesG4625 contraryG3844 to the doctrineG1322 whichG3739 yeG5210 have learnedG3129; andG2532 avoidG1578 themG575+G846.
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG1322, BewareG991 ofG575 the scribesG1122, whichG3588 loveG2309 to goG4043 inG1722 long clothingG4749, andG2532 love salutationsG783 inG1722 the marketplacesG58,
ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false ChristsG5580, andG2532 false prophetsG5578, andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059; insomuch thatG5620, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, they shall deceiveG4105 the veryG2532 electG1588.
ForG1063 they that are suchG5108 serveG1398 notG3756 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 their ownG1438 bellyG2836; andG2532 byG1223 good wordsG5542 andG2532 fair speechesG2129 deceiveG1818 the heartsG2588 of the simpleG172.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
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.
ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
AndG2532 noG3756 marvelG2298; forG1063 SatanG4567 himselfG846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG32 of lightG5457.
ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1499 hisG846 ministersG1249 alsoG1499 be transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG5056 shall beG2071 accordingG2596 to theirG846 worksG2041.
Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they gnaw not the bonesH1633 till the morrowH1242.
BewareG991 thereforeG3767, lest thatG3361 comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209, which is spoken ofG2046 inG1722 the prophetsG4396;
If there ariseH6965 amongH7130 you a prophetH5030, or a dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472, and givethH5414 thee a signH226 or a wonderH4159,
And the signH226 or the wonderH4159 come to passH935, whereof he spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, and let us serveH5647 them;
Thou shalt not hearkenH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 provethH5254 you, to knowH3045 whether yeH3426 loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
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:
Her prophetsH5030 are lightH6348 and treacherousH900 personsH582: her priestsH3548 have pollutedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they have done violenceH2554 to the lawH8451.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
ThatG2443 we henceforth beG5600 no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831, andG2532 carried about withG4064 everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, byG1722 the sleightG2940 of menG444, and cunning craftinessG1722+G3834, wherebyG4314 they lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG4106;
ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG5124, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG3450 departingG867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enter inG1525 amongG1519 youG5209, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG4168.
AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG5216 own selvesG846 shallG450 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3101 afterG3694 themG846.
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
BewareG991 lestG3361 any manG5100 spoilG2071+G4812 youG5209 throughG1223 philosophyG5385 andG2532 vainG2756 deceitG539, afterG2596 the traditionG3862 of menG444, afterG2596 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, andG2532 notG3756 afterG2596 ChristG5547. {rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray}
For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104. {the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
LetG538 no manG3367 deceiveG538 youG5209 with vainG2756 wordsG3056: forG1063 becauseG1223 of these thingsG5023 comethG2064 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 uponG1909 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543. {disobedience: or, unbelief}
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the womanG1135 drunkenG3184 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the saintsG40, andG2532 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the martyrsG3144 of JesusG2424: andG2532 when I sawG1492 herG846, I wonderedG2296 with greatG3173 admirationG2295.
YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267, bewareG5442 lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601 your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034: I sentH7971 them not, neither have I commandedH6680 them, neither spakeH1696 unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto you a falseH8267 visionH2377 and divinationH7081, and a thing of noughtH457+H434, and the deceitH8649 of their heartH3820.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 in my nameH8034, and I sentH7971 them not, yet they sayH559, SwordH2719 and famineH7458 shall not be in this landH776; By swordH2719 and famineH7458 shall those prophetsH5030 be consumedH8552.
And the peopleH5971 to whom they prophesyH5012 shall be cast outH7993 in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 becauseH6440 of the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; and they shall have none to buryH6912 themH1992, them, their wivesH802, nor their sonsH1121, nor their daughtersH1323: for I will pourH8210 their wickednessH7451 upon them.
BewareG991 lestG3361 any manG5100 spoilG2071+G4812 youG5209 throughG1223 philosophyG5385 andG2532 vainG2756 deceitG539, afterG2596 the traditionG3862 of menG444, afterG2596 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, andG2532 notG3756 afterG2596 ChristG5547. {rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray}
And I have seenH7200 follyH8604 in the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111; they prophesiedH5012 in BaalH1168, and caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to errH8582. {folly: or, an absurd thing: Heb. unsavoury}
I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. {an…: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, HearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you: they make you vainH1891: they speakH1696 a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not out of the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
NowG1161 the SpiritG4151 speakethG3004 expresslyG4490, thatG3754 inG1722 the latterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 shall depart fromG868 the faithG4102, giving heedG4337 to seducingG4108 spiritsG4151, andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of devilsG1140;
Speaking liesG5573 inG1722 hypocrisyG5272; havingG2743 theirG2398 conscienceG4893 seared with a hot ironG2743;
ForbiddingG2967 to marryG1060, and commanding to abstain fromG567 meatsG1033, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath createdG2936 toG1519 be receivedG3336 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169 of them which believeG4103 andG2532 knowG1921 the truthG225.
Then saidH559 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 unto HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030, HearH8085 now, HananiahH2608; The LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 thee; but thou makest this peopleH5971 to trustH982 in a lieH8267.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will castH7971 thee from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127: this yearH8141 thou shalt dieH4191, because thou hast taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
So HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 diedH4191 the same yearH8141 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ForG1063 ofG1537 this sortG5130 are theyG1526 which creepG1744 intoG1519 housesG3614, andG2532 lead captiveG162 silly womenG1133 ladenG4987 with sinsG266, led awayG71 with diversG4164 lustsG1939,
EverG3842 learningG3129, andG2532 neverG3368 ableG1410 to comeG2064 toG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
NowG1161 asG5158 JannesG2389 andG2532 JambresG2387 withstoodG436 MosesG3475, soG3779 doG436 theseG3778 alsoG2532 resistG436 the truthG225: menG444 of corruptG2704 mindsG3563, reprobateG96 concerningG4012 the faithG4102. {reprobate: or, of no judgment} {reprobate: or, of no judgment}
ButG235 they shall proceedG4298 noG3756 furtherG1909+G4119: forG1063 theirG846 follyG454 shall beG2071 manifestG1552 unto allG3956 men, asG5613 theirsG1565 alsoG2532 wasG1096.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, of AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, which prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034; Behold, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869;
ButG1161 evilG4190 menG444 andG2532 seducersG1114 shall waxG4298 worse and worseG1909+G5501, deceivingG4105, andG2532 being deceivedG4105.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, and his seedH2233: he shall not have a manH376 to dwellH3427 amongH8432 this peopleH5971; neither shall he beholdH7200 the goodH2896 that I will doH6213 for my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because he hath taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
ForG1063 the timeG2540 will comeG2071 whenG3753 they willG430 notG3756 endureG430 soundG5198 doctrineG1319; butG235 afterG2596 their ownG2398 lustsG1939 shall they heapG2002 to themselvesG1438 teachersG1320, having itchingG2833 earsG189;
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
Because with liesH8267 ye have made the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 sadH3512, whom I have not made sadH3510; and strengthenedH2388 the handsH3027 of the wickedH7451, that he should not returnH7725 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, by promising him lifeH2421: {by…: or, that I should save his life: Heb. by quickening him}
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
Therefore nightH3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821+H2821 unto you, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall go downH935 over the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be darkH6937 over them. {that…: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that…: divine: Heb. from divining}
Then shall the seersH2374 be ashamedH954, and the divinersH7080 confoundedH2659: yea, they shall all coverH5844 their lipsH8222; for there is no answerH4617 of GodH430. {lips: Heb. upper lip}
While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274+G2532, of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
ForG1063 there are certainG5100 menG444 crept in unawaresG3921, whoG3588 were beforeG4270 of oldG3819 ordainedG4270 toG1519 thisG5124 condemnationG2917, ungodly menG765, turningG3346 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 GodG2316 intoG1519 lasciviousnessG766, andG2532 denyingG720 the onlyG3441 LordG1203 GodG2316, andG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 false ChristsG5580 andG2532 false prophetsG5578 shall riseG1453, andG2532 shall shewG1325 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, toG4314 seduceG635, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, evenG2532 the electG1588.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404.
AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the powerG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG1093 andG2532 them which dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739+G846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323.
AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2532 thatG2443 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 onG1519 the earthG1093 in the sightG1799 of menG444,
AndG2532 deceivethG4105 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 byG1223 the means of those miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sightG1799 of the beastG2342; sayingG3004 to them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG4127 by a swordG3162, andG2532 did liveG2198.
AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 that as many asG3745 wouldG302+G4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 should be killedG2443+G615. {life: Gr. breath}
AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, both smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173+G2532, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434+G2532, freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, toG2443+G846 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 right handG1188+G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359: {to receive: Gr. to give them}
AndG2532 that noG3363 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG1508 that hadG2192 the markG5480, orG2228 the nameG3686 of the beastG2342, orG2228 the numberG706 of hisG846 nameG3686.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
BelovedG27, believeG4100 notG3361 everyG3956 spiritG4151, butG235 tryG1381 the spiritsG4151 whetherG1487 they areG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316: becauseG3754 manyG4183 false prophetsG5578 are gone outG1831 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
