AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 IconiumG2430, that theyG846 wentG1525 bothG2596 togetherG846 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 soG3779 spakeG2980, thatG5620 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128 bothG5037 of the JewsG2453 and alsoG2532 of the GreeksG1672 believedG4100.
ButG1161 the unbelievingG544 JewsG2453 stirred upG1892 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 madeG2559 their mindsG5590 evil affectedG2559 againstG2596 the brethrenG80.
LongG2425 timeG5550 thereforeG3303+G3767 abode theyG1304 speaking boldlyG3955 inG1909 the LordG2962, whichG3588 gave testimonyG3140 unto the wordG3056 of hisG846 graceG5485, andG2532 grantedG1325 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 to be doneG1096 byG1223 theirG846 handsG5495.
ButG1161 the multitudeG4128 of the cityG4172 was dividedG4977: andG2532 partG3303 heldG2258 withG4862 the JewsG2453, andG1161 part withG4862 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 whenG5613 there wasG1096 an assaultG3730 madeG1096 bothG5037 of the GentilesG1484, and alsoG2532 of the JewsG2453 withG4862 theirG846 rulersG758, to use them despitefullyG5195, andG2532 to stoneG3036 themG846,
They were wareG4894 of it, and fledG2703 untoG1519 LystraG3082 andG2532 DerbeG1191, citiesG4172 of LycaoniaG3071, andG2532 unto the region that lieth round aboutG4066:
And thereG2546 they preached the gospelG2258+G2097.
AndG2532 there satG2521 a certainG5100 manG435 atG1722 LystraG3082, impotentG102 in his feetG4228, beingG5225 a crippleG5560 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, whoG3739 neverG3763 had walkedG4043:
The sameG3778 heardG191 PaulG3972 speakG2980: whoG3739 stedfastly beholdingG816 himG846, andG2532 perceivingG1492 thatG3754 he hadG2192 faithG4102 to be healedG4982,
SaidG2036 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, StandG450 uprightG3717 onG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228. AndG2532 he leapedG242 andG2532 walkedG4043.
AndG1161 when the peopleG3793 sawG1492 whatG3739 PaulG3972 had doneG4160, they lifted upG1869 theirG846 voicesG5456, sayingG3004 in the speech of LycaoniaG3072, The godsG2316 are come downG2597 toG4314 usG2248 in the likenessG3666 of menG444.
AndG5037 they calledG2564 BarnabasG921+G3303, JupiterG2203; andG1161 PaulG3972, MercuriusG2060, becauseG1894 heG846 wasG2258 the chiefG2233 speakerG3056.
ThenG1161 the priestG2409 of JupiterG2203, whichG3588 wasG5607 beforeG4253 theirG846 cityG4172, broughtG5342 oxenG5022 andG2532 garlandsG4725 untoG1909 the gatesG4440, and wouldG2309 have done sacrificeG2380 withG4862 the peopleG3793.
Which whenG1161 the apostlesG652, BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, heardG191 of, they rentG1284 theirG846 clothesG2440, and ranG1530 in amongG1519 the peopleG3793, crying outG2896,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, SirsG435, whyG5101 do yeG4160 these thingsG5130? WeG2249 alsoG2532 areG2070 menG444 of like passionsG3663 with youG5213, and preachG2097 unto youG5209 that ye should turnG1994 fromG575 theseG5023 vanitiesG3152 untoG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whichG3739 madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 all thingsG3956 that are thereinG1722+G846:
WhoG3739 inG1722 timesG1074 pastG3944 sufferedG1439 allG3956 nationsG1484 to walkG4198 in their ownG846 waysG3598.
NeverthelessG2544+G2532 he leftG863 notG3756 himselfG1438 without witnessG267, in that he did goodG15, and gaveG1325 usG2254 rainG5205 from heavenG3771, andG2532 fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, fillingG1705 ourG2257 heartsG2588 with foodG5160 andG2532 gladnessG2167.
AndG2532 with theseG5023 sayingsG3004 scarceG3433 restrained theyG2664 the peopleG3793, that they hadG2380 notG3361 done sacrificeG2380 unto themG846.
AndG1161 there came thitherG1904 certain JewsG2453 fromG575 AntiochG490 andG2532 IconiumG2430, whoG2532 persuadedG3982 the peopleG3793, andG2532, having stonedG3034 PaulG3972, drewG4951 him out ofG1854 the cityG4172, supposingG3543 heG846 had been deadG2348.
HowbeitG1161, as the disciplesG3101 stood round aboutG2944 himG846, he rose upG450, and cameG1525 intoG1519 the cityG4172: andG2532 the next dayG1887 he departedG1831 withG4862 BarnabasG921 toG1519 DerbeG1191.
AndG5037 when they had preached the gospelG2097 to thatG1565 cityG4172, andG2532 had taughtG3100 manyG2425, they returned againG5290 toG1519 LystraG3082, andG2532 to IconiumG2430, andG2532 AntiochG490, {had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples}
ConfirmingG1991 the soulsG5590 of the disciplesG3101, and exhorting themG3870 to continueG1696 in the faithG4102, andG2532 thatG3754 weG2248 mustG1163 throughG1223 muchG4183 tribulationG2347 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
AndG2532 after they had passed throughoutG1330 PisidiaG4099, they cameG2064 toG1519 PamphyliaG3828.
AndG2532 when they had preachedG2980 the wordG3056 inG1722 PergaG4011, they went downG2597 intoG1519 AttaliaG825:
And thenceG2547 sailedG636 toG1519 AntiochG490, from whenceG3606 they had beenG2258 recommendedG3860 to the graceG5485 of GodG2316 forG1519 the workG2041 whichG3739 they fulfilledG4137.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854, andG2532 had gatheredG4863 the churchG1577 togetherG4863, they rehearsedG312 allG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 howG3754 he had openedG455 the doorG2374 of faithG4102 unto the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 thereG1563 they abodeG1304 longG3756+G3641 timeG5550 withG4862 the disciplesG3101.

AndG5037 the nextG1966 dayG2250 he shewed himselfG3700 unto themG846 as they stroveG3164, andG2532 would have setG4900 themG846 atG1519 one againG1515, sayingG2036, SirsG435, yeG5210 areG2075 brethrenG80; whyG2444 do ye wrongG91 one to anotherG240?
ButG1161 PeterG4074 tookG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Stand upG450; IG2504 myselfG846 alsoG2504 amG1510 a manG444.
AndG1161 when PeterG4074 sawG1492 it, he answeredG611 untoG4314 the peopleG2992, Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, whyG5101 marvel yeG2296 atG1909 thisG5129? orG2228 whyG5101 look ye so earnestlyG816 on usG2254, as thoughG5613 by our ownG2398 powerG1411 orG2228 holinessG2150 we had madeG4160 this manG846 to walkG4043?
EliasG2243 wasG2258 a manG444 subject to like passions asG3663 we areG2254, andG2532 he prayedG4336 earnestlyG4335 that it mightG1026 notG3361 rainG1026: andG2532 it rainedG1026 notG3756 onG1909 the earthG1093 by the space of threeG5140 yearsG1763 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376. {subject…: of the same nature, that is, a fellow mortal} {earnestly: or, in his prayer}
NowG1161 while PaulG3972 waited forG1551 themG846 atG1722 AthensG116, hisG846 spiritG4151 was stirredG3947 inG1722 himG846, when he sawG2334 the cityG4172 wholly givenG5607 to idolatryG2712. {wholly…: or, full of idols}
ThereforeG3767+G3303 disputed heG1256 inG1722 the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453, andG2532 with the devout personsG4576, andG2532 inG1722 the marketG58 dailyG2596+G3956+G2250 withG4314 them that met with himG3909.
ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG302+G2309 thisG3778 babblerG4691 sayG3004+G1161? other some, He seemethG1380 to beG1511 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG386. {babbler: or, base fellow}
They have moved me to jealousyH7065 with that which is notH3808 GodH410; they have provoked me to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: and I will move them to jealousyH7065 with those which are not a peopleH5971; I will provoke them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471.
For who is there of all fleshH1320, that hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the livingH2416 GodH430 speakingH1696 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784, as we have, and livedH2421?
AndG1161 when they heard thatG191, they lifted upG142 their voiceG5456 toG4314 GodG2316 with one accordG3661, andG2532 saidG2036, LordG1203, thouG4771 art GodG2316, whichG3588 hast madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that inG1722 them isG846:
AndG2532 broughtG4254 themG846 outG1854, and saidG5346, SirsG2962, whatG5101 mustG1163 IG3165 doG4160 toG2443 be savedG4982?
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the beastG2342, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 armiesG4753, gathered togetherG4863 to makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 him that satG2521 onG1909 the horseG2462, andG2532 againstG3326 hisG846 armyG4753.
The GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 of JacobG2384, the GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, hath glorifiedG1392 hisG846 SonG3816 JesusG2424; whomG3739 yeG5210 delivered upG3860, andG2532 deniedG720 himG846 inG2596 the presenceG4383 of PilateG4091, when he was determinedG2919 to letG630 himG1565 goG630.
AndG2532 I fellG4098 atG1715 hisG846 feetG4228 to worshipG4352 himG846. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto meG3427, SeeG3708 thou do it notG3361: I amG1510 thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, andG2532 of thyG4675 brethrenG80 that haveG2192 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424: worshipG4352 GodG2316: forG1063 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 isG2076 the spiritG4151 of prophecyG4394.
Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to thinkG3543 that the GodheadG2304 isG1511 likeG3664 unto goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man'sG444 deviceG1761.
And turn ye not asideH5493: for then should ye go afterH310 vainH8414 things, which cannot profitH3276 nor deliverH5337; for they are vainH8414.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423 drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
GodG2316 that madeG4160 the worldG2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG1722+G846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499;
NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men'sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2596 all thingsG3956;
AndG5037 hath madeG4160 ofG1537 oneG1520 bloodG129 allG3956 nationsG1484 of menG444 for to dwellG2730 onG1909 allG3956 the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, and hath determinedG3724 the timesG2540 before appointedG4384, andG2532 the boundsG3734 of theirG846 habitationG2733;
That they should seekG2212 the LordG2962, ifG1487 haplyG686 they might feelG5584 after himG846, andG2532 find himG2147, thoughG2544 he beG5225 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257:
ForG1063 inG1722 himG846 we liveG2198, andG2532 moveG2795, andG2532 have our beingG2070; asG5613 certainG5100 alsoG2532 of yourG5209 ownG2596 poetsG4163 have saidG2046, ForG1063 we areG2070 alsoG2532 hisG5120 offspringG1085.
And saidG3004 unto themG846, SirsG435, I perceiveG2334 thatG3754 this voyageG4144 will beG3195+G1510 withG3326 hurtG5196 andG2532 muchG4183 damageG2209, notG3756 onlyG3440 of the ladingG5414 andG2532 shipG4143, butG235 alsoG2532 of ourG2257 livesG5590. {hurt: or, injury}
ThenG2532 saith heG3004 unto meG3427, SeeG3708 thou do it notG3361: forG1063 I amG1510 thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, andG2532 of thyG4675 brethrenG80 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 of them which keepG5083 the sayingsG3056 of thisG5127 bookG975: worshipG4352 GodG2316.
AndG1161 the peopleG1218 gave a shoutG2019, saying, It is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, andG2532 notG3756 of a manG444.
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
For all the sinsH2403 of BaashaH1201, and the sinsH2403 of ElahH425 his sonH1121, by which they sinnedH2398, and by which they made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, in provoking the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the menH582 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?
ButG1161 afterG5225 longG4183 abstinenceG776+G5119 PaulG3972 stood forthG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846, and saidG2036, SirsG5599+G435, ye shouldG1163+G3303 have hearkenedG3980 unto meG3427, and notG3361 have loosedG321 fromG575 CreteG2914, andG5037 to have gainedG2770 thisG5026 harmG5196 andG2532 lossG2209.
AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 smoteG3960 himG846, becauseG473+G3739 he gaveG1325 notG3756 GodG2316 the gloryG1391: andG2532 he wasG1096 eaten of wormsG4662, and gave up the ghostG1634.
DeliveringG1807 theeG4571 fromG1537 the peopleG2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4571,
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
WhereuponG3606, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, I wasG1096 notG3756 disobedientG545 unto the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701:
ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341.
For he walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and in his sinH2403 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
Thy servantH5650 slewH5221 both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.
By the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 were the heavensH8064 madeH6213; and all the hostH6635 of them by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310.
WhereforeG1352, sirsG435, be of good cheerG2114: forG1063 I believeG4100 GodG2316, thatG3754 itG3779 shall beG2071 evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 it was toldG2980 meG3427.
And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, It is not in meH1107: GodH430 shall giveH6030 PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 of peaceH7965.
It may beH194 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 all the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whom the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430; and will reproveH3198 the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath heardH8085: wherefore lift upH5375 thy prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that are leftH4672. {left: Heb. found}
ButH1297 there isH383 a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealethH1541 secretsH7328, and maketh knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 shall beH1934 in the latterH320 daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 uponH5922 thy bedH4903, are theseH1836; {maketh…: Cald. hath made known}
As for theeH607, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 cameH5559 into thy mind uponH5922 thy bedH4903, whatH4101 should come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and he that revealethH1541 secretsH7328 maketh knownH3046 to thee whatH4101 shall come to passH1934. {came: Cald. came up}
But as for meH576, thisH1836 secretH7328 is notH3809 revealedH1541 to me for any wisdomH2452 that I haveH383 more thanH4481 anyH3606 livingH2417, butH3861 for their sakesH1701 thatH5922 shall make knownH3046 the interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430, and that thou mightest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825. {but for…: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
They that makeH3335 a graven imageH6459 are all of them vanityH8414; and their delectable thingsH2530 shall not profitH3276; and they are their own witnessesH5707; they seeH7200 not, nor knowH3045; that they may be ashamedH954. {delectable: Heb. desirable}
LORDH3068, bow downH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085: openH6491, LORDH3068, thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200: and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, which hath sentH7971 him to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430.
HappyH835 is he that hath the GodH410 of JacobH3290 for his helpH5828, whose hopeH7664 is in the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
He that speakethG2980 ofG575 himselfG1438 seekethG2212 his ownG2398 gloryG1391: butG1161 he that seekethG2212 his gloryG1391 that sentG3992 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 trueG227, andG2532 noG3756 unrighteousnessG93 isG2076 inG1722 himG846.
Who hath formedH3335 a godH410, or moltenH5258 a graven imageH6459 that is profitableH3276 for nothingH1115?
But the LORDH3068 is the trueH571 GodH430, he is the livingH2416 GodH430, and an everlastingH5769 kingH4428: at his wrathH7110 the earthH776 shall trembleH7493, and the nationsH1471 shall not be able to abideH3557 his indignationH2195. {true…: Heb. God of truth} {everlasting…: Heb. king of eternity}
Which madeH6213 heavenH8064, and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that therein is: which keepethH8104 truthH571 for everH5769:
And none considerethH7725 in his heartH3820, neither is there knowledgeH1847 nor understandingH8394 to sayH559, I have burnedH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; yea, also I have bakedH644 breadH3899 upon the coalsH1513 thereof; I have roastedH6740 fleshH1320, and eatenH398 it: and shall I makeH6213 the residueH3499 thereof an abominationH8441? shall I fall downH5456 to the stockH944 of a treeH6086? {considereth…: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock…: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
IH4481+H6925 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934+H2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255, and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491.
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. {fields: or, open places} {the highest…: or, the chief part}
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
He feedethH7462 on ashesH665: a deceivedH2048 heartH3820 hath turned him asideH5186, that he cannot deliverH5337 his soulH5315, nor sayH559, Is there not a lieH8267 in my right handH3225?
ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3962 hathG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438; soG2532+G3779 hath he givenG1325 to the SonG5207 to haveG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438;
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 the heavensH8064; GodH430 himself that formedH3335 the earthH776 and madeH6213 it; he hath establishedH3559 it, he createdH1254 it not in vainH8414, he formedH3335 it to be inhabitedH3427: I am the LORDH3068; and there is none else.
AssembleH6908 yourselves and comeH935; draw nearH5066 togetherH3162, ye that are escapedH6412 of the nationsH1471: they have no knowledgeH3045 that set upH5375 the woodH6086 of their graven imageH6459, and prayH6419 unto a godH410 that cannot saveH3467.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
ThusH1836 shall ye sayH560 unto them, The godsH426 that have notH3809 madeH5648 the heavensH8065 and the earthH778, even they shall perishH7 from the earthH772, and from underH8460 theseH429 heavensH8065.
They bearH5375 him upon the shoulderH3802, they carryH5445 him, and set him in his placeH3240, and he standethH5975; from his placeH4725 shall he not removeH4185: yea, one shall cryH6817 unto him, yet can he not answerH6030, nor saveH3467 him out of his troubleH6869.
ButG1161 ifG1437 I tarry longG1019, thatG2443 thou mayest knowG1492 howG4459 thou oughtestG1163 to behave thyselfG390 inG1722 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, whichG3748 isG2076 the churchG1577 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the pillarG4769 andG2532 groundG1477 of the truthG225. {ground: or, stay}
AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581 and stretched outH5186 armH2220, and there is nothingH1697 too hardH6381 for thee: {too…: or, hid from thee}
Behold the voiceH6963 of the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 because of them that dwell in a farH4801 countryH776: Is not the LORDH3068 in ZionH6726? is not her kingH4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to angerH3707 with their graven imagesH6456, and with strangeH5236 vanitiesH1892? {them…: Heb. the country of them that are far off}
Take heedG991, brethrenG80, lestG3379 there beG2071 inG1722 anyG5100 of youG5216 an evilG4190 heartG2588 of unbeliefG570, inG1722 departingG868 fromG575 the livingG2198 GodG2316.
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 for IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which stretchethH5186 forth the heavensH8064, and layeth the foundationH3245 of the earthH776, and formethH3335 the spiritH7307 of manH120 withinH7130 him.
For the customsH2708 of the peopleH5971 are vainH1892: for one cuttethH3772 a treeH6086 out of the forestH3293, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the workmanH2796, with the axeH4621. {customs…: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}
They deckH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it moveH6328 not.
They are uprightH4749 as the palm treeH8560, but speakH1696 not: they must needsH5375 be borneH5375, because they cannot goH6805. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither also is it in them to do goodH3190.
ForG1063 the invisible thingsG517 of himG846 fromG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 are clearly seenG2529, being understoodG3539 by the things that are madeG4161, evenG5037 hisG846 eternalG126 powerG1411 andG2532 GodheadG2305; soG1519 that theyG846 areG1511 without excuseG379: {so…: or, that they may be}
But they are altogetherH259 brutishH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892. {altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}
SayingG3004 withG1722 a loudG3173 voiceG5456, FearG5399 GodG2316, andG2532 giveG1325 gloryG1391 to himG846; forG3754 the hourG5610 of hisG846 judgmentG2920 is comeG2064: andG2532 worshipG4352 him that madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 the fountainsG4077 of watersG5204.
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 in his knowledgeH1847: every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, and the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
Are thereH3426 any among the vanitiesH1892 of the GentilesH1471 that can cause rainH1652? or can the heavensH8064 giveH5414 showersH7241? art not thou he, O LORDH3068 our GodH430? therefore we will waitH6960 upon thee: for thou hast madeH6213 all these things.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have despisedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have not keptH8104 his commandmentsH2706, and their liesH3577 caused them to errH8582, afterH310 the which their fathersH1 have walkedH1980:
BecauseG1360 that, when they knewG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654.
Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1511 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471,
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
