NowG1161 IG1473 PaulG3972 myselfG846 beseechG3870 youG5209 byG1223 the meeknessG4236 andG2532 gentlenessG1932 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 inG2596 presenceG4383 am baseG3303+G5011 amongG1722 youG5213, butG1161 being absentG548 am boldG2292 towardG1519 youG5209: {in presence: or, in outward appearance}
ButG1161 I beseechG1189 you, that I may notG3361 be boldG2292 when I am presentG3918 with that confidenceG4006, wherewithG3739 I thinkG3049 to be boldG5111 againstG1909 someG5100, whichG3588 thinkG3049 of usG2248 asG5613 if we walkedG4043 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561. {think: or, reckon}
ForG1063 though we walkG4043 inG1722 the fleshG4561, we doG4754 notG3756 warG4754 afterG2596 the fleshG4561:
(ForG1063 the weaponsG3696 of ourG2257 warfareG4752 are notG3756 carnalG4559, butG235 mightyG1415 through GodG2316 toG4314 the pulling downG2506 of strong holdsG3794;) {through God: or, to God}
Casting downG2507 imaginationsG3053, andG2532 everyG3956 high thingG5313 that exalteth itselfG1869 againstG2596 the knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316, andG2532 bringing into captivityG163 everyG3956 thoughtG3540 toG1519 the obedienceG5218 of ChristG5547; {imaginations: or, reasonings}
AndG2532 havingG2192 inG1722 a readinessG2092 to revengeG1556 allG3956 disobedienceG3876, whenG3752 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is fulfilledG4137.
Do ye look onG991 things afterG2596 the outward appearanceG4383? If any manG1536 trustG3982 to himselfG1438 that he isG1511 Christ'sG5547, let himG3049 ofG575 himselfG1438 thinkG3049 thisG5124 againG3825, thatG3754, asG2531 heG846 is Christ'sG5547, evenG2532 soG3779 are weG2249 Christ'sG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 thoughG1437+G5037 I should boastG2744 somewhatG5100 moreG4055 ofG4012 ourG2257 authorityG1849, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 usG2254 forG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 forG1519 yourG5216 destructionG2506, I shouldG153 notG3756 be ashamedG153:
ThatG3363 I mayG1380 notG3363 seemG1380 asG5613 ifG302 I would terrifyG1629 youG5209 byG1223 lettersG1992.
ForG3754 his lettersG1992+G3303, say theyG5346, are weightyG926 andG2532 powerfulG2478; butG1161 his bodilyG4983 presenceG3952 is weakG772, andG2532 his speechG3056 contemptibleG1848. {say they: Gr. saith he}
LetG3049 such an oneG5108 thinkG3049 thisG5124, thatG3754, such asG3634 we areG2070 in wordG3056 byG1223 lettersG1992 when we are absentG548, suchG5108 will we be alsoG2532 in deedG2041 when we are presentG3918.
ForG1063 we dareG5111 notG3756 makeG1469 ourselves of the numberG1469, orG2228 compareG4793 ourselvesG1438 withG4793 someG5100 that commendG4921 themselvesG1438: butG235 theyG846 measuringG3354 themselvesG1438 byG1722 themselvesG1438, andG2532 comparingG4793 themselvesG1438 amongG4793 themselvesG1438, areG4920 notG3756 wiseG4920. {are…: or, understand it not}
ButG1161 weG2249 willG2744 notG3780 boastG2744 of things withoutG1519 our measureG280, butG235 accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the ruleG2583 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath distributedG3307 to usG2254, a measureG3358 to reachG2185 evenG2532 untoG891 youG5216. {rule: or, line}
ForG1063 we stretchG5239 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 beyondG5239 our measure, asG5613 though we reachedG2185 notG3361 untoG1519 youG5209: forG1063 we are comeG5348 as far asG891 to youG5216 alsoG2532 inG1722 preaching the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547:
NotG3756 boastingG2744 of things withoutG1519 our measureG280, that is, ofG1722 other men'sG245 laboursG2873; butG1161 havingG2192 hopeG1680, when yourG5216 faithG4102 is increasedG837, that we shall be enlargedG3170 byG1722 youG5213 accordingG2596 to ourG2257 ruleG2583 abundantlyG1519+G4050, {enlarged…: or, magnified in you}
To preach the gospelG2097 inG1519 the regions beyondG5238 youG5216, and notG3756 to boastG2744 inG1722 another man'sG245 lineG2583 ofG1519 things made ready to our handG2092. {line: or, rule}
ButG1161 he that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
ForG1063 notG3756 heG1565 that commendethG4921 himselfG1438 isG2076 approvedG1384, butG235 whomG3739 the LordG2962 commendethG4921.

He hath shewedG4160 strengthG2904 withG1722 hisG846 armG1023; he hath scatteredG1287 the proudG5244 in the imaginationG1271 of theirG846 heartsG2588.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Who is the LORDH3068, that I should obeyH8085 his voiceH6963 to let IsraelH3478 goH7971? I knowH3045 not the LORDH3068, neither will I let IsraelH3478 goH7971.
TakeG142 myG3450 yokeG2218 uponG1909 youG5209, andG2532 learnG3129 ofG575 meG1700; forG3754 I amG1510 meekG4235 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147 restG372 unto yourG5216 soulsG5590.
And the LORDH3068 smelledH7306 a sweetH5207 savourH7381; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 inH413 his heartH3820, I will not againH3254 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man'sH120 sakeH5668; for the imaginationH3336 of man'sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH3254 smiteH5221 any more every thing livingH2416, as I have doneH6213. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}
As soon as they hearH8088+H241 of me, they shall obeyH8085 me: the strangersH1121+H5236 shall submitH3584 themselves unto me. {As soon…: Heb. At the hearing of the ear} {submit…: or, yield feigned obedience} {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
WhoG3588 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of thyG4675 servantG3816 DavidG1138 hast saidG2036, WhyG2444 didG5433 the heathenG1484 rageG5433, andG2532 the peopleG2992 imagineG3191 vain thingsG2756?
And in veryH199 deedH5668 for this cause have I raised thee upH5975, for to shewH7200 in thee my powerH3581; and that my nameH8034 may be declaredH5608 throughout all the earthH776. {raised…: Heb. made thee stand}
BewareH8104 that there be not a thoughtH1697 in thy wickedH1100 heartH3824, sayingH559, The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, is at handH7126; and thine eyeH5869 be evilH7489 against thy poorH34 brotherH251, and thou givestH5414 him nought; and he cryH7121 unto the LORDH3068 against thee, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 the rodH4294 of thy strengthH5797 out of ZionH6726: ruleH7287 thou in the midstH7130 of thine enemiesH341.
The kingsG935 of the earthG1093 stood upG3936, andG2532 the rulersG758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909+G846 againstG2596 the LordG2962, andG2532 againstG2596 hisG846 ChristG5547.
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
Thou knowestH3045 my downsittingH3427 and mine uprisingH6965, thou understandestH995 my thoughtH7454 afar offH7350.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
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.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
The thoughtsH4284 of the wickedH7451 are an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but the words of the pureH2889 are pleasantH5278 wordsH561. {pleasant…: Heb. words of pleasantness}
ByG1223 whomG3739 we have receivedG2983 graceG5485 andG2532 apostleshipG651, forG1519 obedienceG5218 to the faithG4102 amongG1722 allG3956 nationsG1484, forG5228 hisG846 nameG3686: {for obedience…: or, to the obedience of faith}
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680, andG2532 will bring to nothingG114 the understandingG4907 of the prudentG4908.
Because thy rageH7264 against me and thy tumultH7600 is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore I will putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
The thoughtH2154 of foolishnessH200 is sinH2403: and the scornerH3887 is an abominationH8441 to menH120.
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
ButG235 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the things which are mightyG2478;
AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG2889, andG2532 things which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 things whichG3588 areG5607 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 things that areG5607:
ThatG3704 noG3361+G3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 in his presenceG1799+G846.
Cast abroadH6327 the rageH5678 of thy wrathH639: and beholdH7200 every one that is proudH1343, and abaseH8213 him.
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
AndG2532 being made perfectG5048, he becameG1096 the authorG159 of eternalG166 salvationG4991 unto allG3956 them that obeyG5219 himG846;
ForG1063 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG2889 isG2076 foolishnessG3472 withG3844 GodG2316. ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, He takethG1405 the wiseG4680 inG1722 their ownG846 craftinessG3834.
LookH7200 on every one that is proudH1343, and bring him lowH3665; and tread downH1915 the wickedH7563 in their place.
Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818: their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquityH205; wastingH7701 and destructionH7667 are in their pathsH4546. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
O JerusalemH3389, washH3526 thine heartH3820 from wickednessH7451, that thou mayest be savedH3467. How long shall thy vainH205 thoughtsH4284 lodgeH3885 withinH7130 thee?
AsG5613 obedientG5218 childrenG5043, notG3361 fashioning yourselves according toG4964 the formerG4386 lustsG1939 inG1722 yourG5216 ignoranceG52:
The wickedH7563, through the prideH1363 of his countenanceH639, will not seekH1875 after God: GodH430 is not in all his thoughtsH4209. {God is…: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God}
ForG1063 out ofG1537 the heartG2588 proceedG1831 evilG4190 thoughtsG1261, murdersG5408, adulteriesG3430, fornicationsG4202, theftsG2829, false witnessG5577, blasphemiesG988:
ButG235 asG2596 he which hath calledG2564 youG5209 is holyG40, soG2532 beG1096 yeG846 holyG40 inG1722 allG3956 manner of conversationG391;
For thou wilt saveH3467 the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; but wilt bring downH8213 highH7311 looksH5869.
ForG1063 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 is quickG2198, andG2532 powerfulG1756, andG2532 sharperG5114 thanG5228 anyG3956 twoedgedG1366 swordG3162, piercingG1338 even toG891 the dividing asunderG3311 of soulG5590 andG5037+G2532 spiritG4151, andG5037+G2532 of the jointsG719 andG2532 marrowG3452, andG2532 is a discernerG2924 of the thoughtsG1761 andG2532 intentsG1771 of the heartG2588.
Seeing ye have purifiedG48 yourG5216 soulsG5590 inG1722 obeyingG5218 the truthG225 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 untoG1519 unfeignedG505 love of the brethrenG5360, see that ye loveG25 one anotherG240 withG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588 ferventlyG1619:
The loftyH1365 looksH5869 of manH120 shall be humbledH8213, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be bowed downH7817, and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be upon every one that is proudH1343 and loftyH7311, and upon every one that is lifted upH5375; and he shall be brought lowH8213:
And the loftinessH1365 of manH120 shall be bowed downH7817, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be made lowH8213: and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
The sonsH1121 also of them that afflictedH6031 thee shall comeH1980 bendingH7817 unto thee; and all they that despisedH5006 thee shall bow themselves downH7812 at the solesH3709 of thy feetH7272; and they shall callH7121 thee, The cityH5892 of the LORDH3068, The ZionH6726 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
And all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have brought downH8213 the highH1364 treeH6086, have exaltedH1361 the lowH8217 treeH6086, have driedH3001 up the greenH3892 treeH6086, and have made the dryH3002 treeH6086 to flourishH6524: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 and have doneH6213 it.
NowH3705 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 praiseH7624 and extolH7313 and honourH1922 the KingH4430 of heavenH8065, allH3606 whose worksH4567 are truthH7187, and his waysH735 judgmentH1780: and those that walkH1981 in prideH1467 he is ableH3202 to abaseH8214.
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
ThenH116 was the partH6447 of the handH3028 sentH7972 fromH4481 himH6925; and thisH1836 writingH3792 was writtenH7560.
And thisH1836 is the writingH3792 that was writtenH7560, MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKELH8625, UPHARSINH6537.
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: MENEH4484; GodH426 hath numberedH4483 thy kingdomH4437, and finishedH8000 it.
TEKELH8625; Thou art weighedH8625 in the balancesH3977, and art foundH7912 wantingH2627.
PERESH6537; Thy kingdomH4437 is dividedH6537, and givenH3052 to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540.
ThenH116 commandedH560 BelshazzarH1113, and they clothedH3848 DanielH1841 with scarletH711, and put a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and made a proclamationH3745 concerningH5922 him, that he should beH1934 the thirdH8531 rulerH7990 in the kingdomH4437.
In that nightH3916 was BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 of the ChaldeansH3779 slainH6992.
AndG2532 he fellG4098 toG1909 the earthG1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377: it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
AndG5037 he tremblingG5141 andG2532 astonishedG2284 saidG2036, LordG2962, whatG5101 wilt thou haveG2309 meG3165 to doG4160? AndG2532 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, andG2532 goG1525 intoG1519 the cityG4172, andG2532 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 mustG1163 doG4160.
ThoughG2539 IG1473 mightG2192 alsoG2532 haveG2192 confidenceG4006 inG1722 the fleshG4561. If anyG1536 other manG243 thinkethG1380 that he hath whereof he might trustG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561, IG1473 moreG3123:
CircumcisedG4061 the eighthG3637 day, ofG1537 the stockG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, an HebrewG1445 ofG1537 the HebrewsG1445; as touchingG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330;
ConcerningG2596 zealG2205, persecutingG1377 the churchG1577; touchingG2596 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is inG1722 the lawG3551+G1096, blamelessG273.
