BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 isG2076 wiser thanG4680 menG444; andG2532 the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 isG2076 stronger thanG2478 menG444.
For the LORDH3068 givethH5414 wisdomH2451: out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394.
To GodG2316 onlyG3441 wiseG4680, be gloryG1391 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.}
BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 isG2076 wiser thanG4680 menG444; andG2532 the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 isG2076 stronger thanG2478 menG444.
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
NowG1161 when Jesus was risenG450 earlyG4404 the firstG4413 day of the weekG4521, he appearedG5316 firstG4412 to MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, out ofG575 whomG3739 he had castG1544 sevenG2033 devilsG1140.
ButG1161 MaryG3137 stoodG2476 withoutG1854 atG4314 the sepulchreG3419 weepingG2799: andG3767 asG5613 she weptG2799, she stooped downG3879, and looked intoG1519 the sepulchreG3419,
AndG2532 seethG2334 twoG1417 angelsG32 inG1722 whiteG3022 sittingG2516, the oneG1520 atG4314 the headG2776, andG2532 the otherG1520 atG4314 the feetG4228, whereG3699 the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 had lainG2749.
AndG2532 theyG1565 sayG3004 unto herG846, WomanG1135, whyG5101 weepest thouG2799? She saithG3004 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 they have taken awayG142 myG3450 LordG2962, andG2532 I knowG1492 notG3756 whereG4226 they have laidG5087 himG846.
AndG2532 when she hadG2036 thusG5023 saidG2036, she turnedG4762 herselfG1519 backG3694, andG2532 sawG2334 JesusG2424 standingG2476, andG2532 knewG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 JesusG2424.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, WomanG1135, whyG5101 weepest thouG2799? whomG5101 seekest thouG2212? SheG1565, supposingG1380+G3754 him to beG2076 the gardenerG2780, saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, ifG1487 thouG4771 have borneG941 himG846 henceG941, tellG2036 meG3427 whereG4226 thou hast laidG5087 himG846, and IG2504 will takeG142 himG846 awayG142.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, MaryG3137. SheG1565 turnedG4762 herself, and saithG3004 unto himG846, RabboniG4462; whichG3739 is to sayG3004, MasterG1320.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, TouchG680 meG3450 notG3361; forG1063 I amG305 not yetG3768 ascendedG305 toG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962: butG1161 goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 brethrenG80, andG2532 sayG2036 unto themG846, I ascendG305 untoG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 yourG5216 FatherG3962; andG2532 to myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 yourG5216 GodG2316.
MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 cameG2064 and toldG518 the disciplesG3101 thatG3754 she had seenG3708 the LordG2962, andG2532 that he had spokenG2036 these thingsG5023 unto herG846.
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptationG594, thatG3754 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889 to saveG4982 sinnersG268; of whomG3739 IG1473 amG1510 chiefG4413.
ForG1063 ye seeG991 yourG5216 callingG2821, brethrenG80, how thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 wise menG4680 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415, notG3756 manyG4183 nobleG2104, are called:
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.
DrinkG5202 no longerG3371 waterG5202, butG235 useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 forG1223 thyG4675 stomach's sakeG4751 andG2532 thineG4675 oftenG4437 infirmitiesG769.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ThatG2443, according asG2531 it is writtenG1125, He that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
To GodG2316 onlyG3441 wiseG4680, be gloryG1391 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.}
Therefore takeH3947 unto you now sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and goH3212 to my servantH5650 JobH347, and offer upH5927 for yourselves a burnt offeringH5930; and my servantH5650 JobH347 shall prayH6419 for you: for himH6440 will I acceptH5375: lest I dealH6213 with you after your follyH5039, in that ye have not spokenH1696 of me the thing which is rightH3559, like my servantH5650 JobH347. {him: Heb. his face, or, person}
PaulG3972, calledG2822 to be an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 throughG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 SosthenesG4988 our brotherG80,
Unto the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 isG5607 atG1722 CorinthG2882, to them that are sanctifiedG37 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, calledG2822 to be saintsG40, withG4862 allG3956 that inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 call uponG1941 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, bothG5037 theirsG846 andG2532 oursG2257:
GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
I thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316 alwaysG3842 onG4012 yourG5216 behalfG4012, forG1909 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 youG5213 byG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547;
ThatG3754 inG1722 every thingG3956 ye are enrichedG4148 byG1722 himG846, inG1722 allG3956 utteranceG3056, andG2532 in allG3956 knowledgeG1108;
Even asG2531 the testimonyG3142 of ChristG5547 was confirmedG950 inG1722 youG5213:
So thatG5620 yeG5209 come behindG5302 inG1722 noG3361+G3367 giftG5486; waiting forG553 the comingG602 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {coming: Gr. revelation}
WhoG3739 shallG950 alsoG2532 confirmG950 youG5209 untoG2193 the endG5056, that ye may be blamelessG410 inG1722 the dayG2250 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, byG1223 whomG3739 ye were calledG2564 untoG1519 the fellowshipG2842 of hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG1223 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 yeG3004 allG3956 speakG3004 the same thingG846, andG2532 that there beG5600 noG3361 divisionsG4978 amongG1722 youG5213; butG1161 that ye beG5600 perfectly joined togetherG2675 inG1722 the sameG846 mindG3563 andG2532 inG1722 the sameG846 judgmentG1106. {divisions: Gr. schisms}
ForG1063 it hath been declaredG1213 unto meG3427 ofG4012 youG5216, myG3450 brethrenG80, byG5259 them which are of the houseG3588 of ChloeG5514, thatG3754 there areG1526 contentionsG2054 amongG1722 youG5213.
NowG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, thatG3754 every oneG1538 of youG5216 saithG3004, IG1473+G3303 amG1510 of PaulG3972; andG1161 IG1473 of ApollosG625; andG1161 IG1473 of CephasG2786; andG1161 IG1473 of ChristG5547.
IsG3307 ChristG5547 dividedG3307+G3361? wasG4717 PaulG3972 crucifiedG4717 forG5228 youG5216? orG2228 were ye baptizedG907 inG1519 the nameG3686 of PaulG3972?
I thankG2168 GodG2316 thatG3754 I baptizedG907 noneG3762 of youG5216, butG1508 CrispusG2921 andG2532 GaiusG1050;
LestG3363 anyG5100 should sayG2036 thatG3754 I had baptizedG907 inG1519 mine ownG1699 nameG3686.
AndG1161 I baptizedG907 alsoG2532 the householdG3624 of StephanasG4734: besidesG3063, I knowG1492 notG3756 whether I baptizedG907 anyG1536 otherG243.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 sentG649 meG3165 notG3756 to baptizeG907, butG235 to preach the gospelG2097: notG3756 withG1722 wisdomG4678 of wordsG3056, lestG3363 the crossG4716 of ChristG5547 should be made of none effectG2758. {words: or, speech}
ForG1063 the preachingG3056 of the crossG4716 isG2076 to themG3303 that perishG622 foolishnessG3472; butG1161 unto usG2254 which are savedG4982 it isG2076 the powerG1411 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680, andG2532 will bring to nothingG114 the understandingG4907 of the prudentG4908.
WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680? whereG4226 is the scribeG1122? whereG4226 is the disputerG4804 of thisG5127 worldG165? hathG3471 notG3780 GodG2316 made foolishG3471 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG2889?
ForG1063 afterG1894 that inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 the worldG2889 byG1223 wisdomG4678 knewG1097 notG3756 GodG2316, it pleasedG2106 GodG2316 byG1223 the foolishnessG3472 of preachingG2782 to saveG4982 them that believeG4100.
ForG2532+G1894 the JewsG2453 requireG154 a signG4592, andG2532 the GreeksG1672 seekG2212 after wisdomG4678:
ButG1161 weG2249 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, unto the JewsG2453 a stumblingblockG3303+G4625, andG1161 unto the GreeksG1672 foolishnessG3472;
ButG1161 unto themG846 whichG3588 are calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, andG2532 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316.
BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 isG2076 wiser thanG4680 menG444; andG2532 the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 isG2076 stronger thanG2478 menG444.
ForG1063 ye seeG991 yourG5216 callingG2821, brethrenG80, how thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 wise menG4680 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415, notG3756 manyG4183 nobleG2104, are called:
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.
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
ThatG2443, according asG2531 it is writtenG1125, He that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
Yet there shall be a spaceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measureH4060: come not nearH7126 unto it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must goH3212: for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretoforeH8543+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}
Then JerubbaalH3378, who is GideonH1439, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, rose up earlyH7925, and pitchedH2583 beside the well of HarodH5878: so that the hostH4264 of the MidianitesH4080 were on the north sideH6828 of them, by the hillH1389 of MorehH4176, in the valleyH6010.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 that are with thee are too manyH7227 for me to giveH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into their handsH3027, lest IsraelH3478 vauntH6286 themselves against me, sayingH559, Mine own handH3027 hath savedH3467 me.
Now therefore go toH4994, proclaimH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Whosoever is fearfulH3373 and afraidH2730, let him returnH7725 and depart earlyH6852 from mountH2022 GileadH1568. And there returnedH7725 of the peopleH5971 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505; and there remainedH7604 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 are yet too manyH7227; bring them downH3381 unto the waterH4325, and I will tryH6884 them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I sayH559 unto thee, This shall goH3212 with thee, the same shall goH3212 with thee; and of whomsoever I sayH559 unto thee, This shall not goH3212 with thee, the same shall not goH3212.
So he brought downH3381 the peopleH5971 unto the waterH4325: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, Every one that lappethH3952 of the waterH4325 with his tongueH3956, as a dogH3611 lappethH3952, him shalt thou setH3322 by himself; likewise every one that boweth downH3766 upon his kneesH1290 to drinkH8354.
And the numberH4557 of them that lappedH3952, putting their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, were threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: but all the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 bowed downH3766 upon their kneesH1290 to drinkH8354 waterH4325.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lappedH3952 will I saveH3467 you, and deliverH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into thine handH3027: and let all the other peopleH5971 goH3212 every manH376 unto his placeH4725.
So the peopleH5971 tookH3947 victualsH6720 in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782: and he sentH7971 allH376 the rest of IsraelH3478 every manH376 unto his tentH168, and retainedH2388 those threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the hostH4264 of MidianH4080 was beneath him in the valleyH6010.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965, get thee downH3381 unto the hostH4264; for I have deliveredH5414 it into thine handH3027.
But if thou fearH3373 to go downH3381, goH3381 thou with PhurahH6513 thy servantH5288 downH3381 to the hostH4264:
And thou shalt hearH8085 what they sayH1696; and afterwardH310 shall thine handsH3027 be strengthenedH2388 to go downH3381 unto the hostH4264. Then went he downH3381 with PhurahH6513 his servantH5288 unto the outsideH7097 of the armed menH2571 that were in the hostH4264. {armed men: or, ranks by five}
And the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and all the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 layH5307 along in the valleyH6010 like grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557, as the sandH2344 by the seaH3220 sideH8193 for multitudeH7230.
And when GideonH1439 was comeH935, behold, there was a manH376 that toldH5608 a dreamH2472 unto his fellowH7453, and saidH559, Behold, I dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and, lo, a cakeH6742+H6742 of barleyH8184 breadH3899 tumbledH2015 into the hostH4264 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 unto a tentH168, and smoteH5221 it that it fellH5307, and overturnedH2015+H4605 it, that the tentH168 lay alongH5307.
And his fellowH7453 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is nothing else save the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, a manH376 of IsraelH3478: for into his handH3027 hath GodH430 deliveredH5414 MidianH4080, and all the hostH4264.
And it was so, when GideonH1439 heardH8085 the tellingH4557 of the dreamH2472, and the interpretationH7667 thereof, that he worshippedH7812, and returnedH7725 into the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, AriseH6965; for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 into your handH3027 the hostH4264 of MidianH4080. {interpretation: Heb. breaking}
And he dividedH2673 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 into threeH7969 companiesH7218, and he putH5414 a trumpetH7782 in every man's handH3027, with emptyH7386 pitchersH3537, and lampsH3940 withinH8432 the pitchersH3537. {a trumpet…: Heb. trumpets in the hand of all of them} {lamps: or, firebrands, or, torches}
And he saidH559 unto them, LookH7200 on me, and doH6213 likewise: and, behold, when I comeH935 to the outsideH7097 of the campH4264, it shall be that, as I doH6213, so shall ye doH6213.
When I blowH8628 with a trumpetH7782, I and all that are with me, then blowH8628 ye the trumpetsH7782 also on every sideH5439 of all the campH4264, and sayH559, The sword of the LORDH3068, and of GideonH1439.
So GideonH1439, and the hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, cameH935 unto the outsideH7097 of the campH4264 in the beginningH7218 of the middleH8484 watchH821; and they had butH389 newlyH6965 setH6965 the watchH8104: and they blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH5310 the pitchersH3537 that were in their handsH3027.
And the threeH7969 companiesH7218 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH7665 the pitchersH3537, and heldH2388 the lampsH3940 in their leftH8040 handsH3027, and the trumpetsH7782 in their rightH3225 handsH3027 to blowH8628 withal: and they criedH7121, The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, and of GideonH1439.
And they stoodH5975 every manH376 in his place round aboutH5439 the campH4264: and all the hostH4264 ranH7323, and criedH7321, and fledH5127+H5127.
And the threeH7969 hundredH3967 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and the LORDH3068 setH7760 every man'sH376 swordH2719 against his fellowH7453, even throughout all the hostH4264: and the hostH4264 fledH5127 to BethshittahH1029 in ZererathH6888, and to the borderH8193 of AbelmeholahH65, unto TabbathH2888. {in: or, toward} {border: Heb. lip}
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6817 out of NaphtaliH5321, and out of AsherH836, and out of all ManassehH4519, and pursuedH7291 afterH310 the MidianitesH4080.
And GideonH1439 sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all mountH2022 EphraimH669, sayingH559, Come downH3381 againstH7125 the MidianitesH4080, and takeH3920 before them the watersH4325 unto BethbarahH1012 and JordanH3383. Then all the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and tookH3920 the watersH4325 unto BethbarahH1012 and JordanH3383.
And they tookH3920 twoH8147 princesH8269 of the MidianitesH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062; and they slewH2026 OrebH6159 upon the rockH6697 OrebH6159, and ZeebH2062 they slewH2026 at the winepressH3342 of ZeebH2062, and pursuedH7291 MidianH4080, and broughtH935 the headsH7218 of OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062 to GideonH1439 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
ForG1063 ye knowG1097 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG3754, though he wasG5607 richG4145, yet forG1223 yourG5209 sakesG1223 he became poorG4433, thatG2443 yeG5210 through hisG1565 povertyG4432 might be richG4147.
SayingG3004+G3754, The SonG5207 of manG444 mustG1163 be deliveredG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of sinfulG268 menG444, andG2532 be crucifiedG4717, andG2532 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 rise againG450.
In all this JobH347 sinnedH2398 not, nor chargedH5414 GodH430 foolishlyH8604. {charged…: or, attributed folly to God}
Now NaamanH5283, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, was a greatH1419 manH376 withH6440 his masterH113, and honourableH5375, because by him the LORDH3068 had givenH5414 deliveranceH8668 unto SyriaH758: he was also a mightyH1368 manH376 in valourH2428, but he was a leperH6879. {with: Heb. before. honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance. deliverance: or, victory}
And the SyriansH758 had gone outH3318 by companiesH1416, and had brought away captiveH7617 out of the landH776 of IsraelH3478 a littleH6996 maidH5291; and she waited onH6440 Naaman'sH5283 wifeH802. {waited…: Heb. was before}
And she saidH559 unto her mistressH1404, WouldH305 God my lordH113 were withH6440 the prophetH5030 that is in SamariaH8111! forH227 he would recoverH622 him of his leprosyH6883. {with: Heb. before} {recover: Heb. gather in}
And one went inH935, and toldH5046 his lordH113, sayingH559, Thus and thus saidH1696 the maidH5291 that is of the landH776 of IsraelH3478.
And the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 saidH559, Go toH3212, goH935, and I will sendH7971 a letterH5612 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. And he departedH3212, and tookH3947 with himH3027 tenH6235 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and sixH8337 thousandH505 pieces of goldH2091, and tenH6235 changesH2487 of raimentH899. {with…: Heb. in his hand}
And he broughtH935 the letterH5612 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Now when this letterH5612 is comeH935 unto thee, behold, I have therewith sentH7971 NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 to thee, that thou mayest recoverH622 him of his leprosyH6883.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had readH7121 the letterH5612, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and saidH559, Am I GodH430, to killH4191 and to make aliveH2421, that this manH2088 doth sendH7971 unto me to recoverH622 a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? whereforeH389 considerH3045, I pray you, and seeH7200 how he seeketh a quarrelH579 against me.
And it was so, when ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430 had heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had rentH7167 his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, Wherefore hast thou rentH7167 thy clothesH899? let him comeH935 now to me, and he shall knowH3045 that there isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.
So NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and with his chariotH7393, and stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 of ElishaH477.
And ElishaH477 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 unto him, sayingH559, GoH1980 and washH7364 in JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and thy fleshH1320 shall come againH7725 to thee, and thou shalt be cleanH2891.
But NaamanH5283 was wrothH7107, and went awayH3212, and saidH559, Behold, I thoughtH559, He will surelyH3318 come outH3318 to me, and standH5975, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and strikeH5130 his handH3027 over the placeH4725, and recoverH622 the leperH6879. {I thought: Heb. I said. or, I said with my self, He will surely come out, etc.} {strike: Heb. move up and down}
Are not AbanaH71+H549 and PharparH6554, riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, betterH2896 than all the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? may I not washH7364 in them, and be cleanH2891? So he turnedH6437 and went awayH3212 in a rageH2534. {Abana: or, Amana}
And his servantsH5650 came nearH5066, and spakeH1696 unto him, and saidH559, My fatherH1, if the prophetH5030 had bidH1696 thee do some greatH1419 thingH1697, wouldest thou not have doneH6213 it? how much rather thenH637, when he saithH559 to thee, WashH7364, and be cleanH2891?
Then went he downH3381, and dippedH2881 himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in JordanH3383, according to the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and his fleshH1320 came againH7725 like unto the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288, and he was cleanH2891.
And he returnedH7725 to the manH376 of GodH430, he and all his companyH4264, and cameH935, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559, Behold, now I knowH3045 that there is no GodH430 in all the earthH776, but in IsraelH3478: now therefore, I pray thee, takeH3947 a blessingH1293 of thy servantH5650.
But he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will receiveH3947 none. And he urgedH6484 him to takeH3947 it; but he refusedH3985.
And NaamanH5283 saidH559, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be givenH5414 to thy servantH5650 twoH6776 mules'H6505 burdenH4853 of earthH127? for thy servantH5650 will henceforth offerH6213 neither burnt offeringH5930 nor sacrificeH2077 unto otherH312 godsH430, but unto the LORDH3068.
In this thingH1697 the LORDH3068 pardonH5545 thy servantH5650, that when my masterH113 goethH935 into the houseH1004 of RimmonH7417 to worshipH7812 there, and he leanethH8172 on my handH3027, and I bowH7812 myself in the houseH1004 of RimmonH7417: when I bow downH7812 myself in the houseH1004 of RimmonH7417, the LORDH3068 pardonH5545 thy servantH5650 in this thingH1697.
And he saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 in peaceH7965. So he departedH3212 from him a littleH3530 wayH776. {a little…: Heb. a little piece of ground}
But GehaziH1522, the servantH5288 of ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430, saidH559, Behold, my masterH113 hath sparedH2820 NaamanH5283 this SyrianH761, in not receivingH3947 at his handsH3027 that which he broughtH935: but, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, I will runH7323 afterH310 him, and takeH3947 somewhatH3972 of him.
So GehaziH1522 followedH7291 afterH310 NaamanH5283. And when NaamanH5283 sawH7200 him runningH7323 afterH310 him, he lighted downH5307 from the chariotH4818 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Is all wellH7965? {Is…: Heb. Is there peace?}
And he saidH559, All is wellH7965. My masterH113 hath sentH7971 me, sayingH559, Behold, even now there be comeH935 to me from mountH2022 EphraimH669 twoH8147 young menH5288 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030: giveH5414 them, I pray thee, a talentH3603 of silverH3701, and twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899.
And NaamanH5283 saidH559, Be contentH2974, takeH3947 two talentsH3603. And he urgedH6555 him, and boundH6696 twoH8147 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 in twoH8147 bagsH2754, with twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899, and laidH5414 them upon twoH8147 of his servantsH5288; and they bareH5375 them beforeH6440 him.
And when he cameH935 to the towerH6076, he tookH3947 them from their handH3027, and bestowedH6485 them in the houseH1004: and he let the menH582 goH7971, and they departedH3212. {tower: or, secret place}
But he went inH935, and stoodH5975 before his masterH113. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, WhenceH370 comest thou, GehaziH1522? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 wentH1980 no whitherH575. {no whither: Heb. not hither or thither}
And he saidH559 unto him, WentH1980 not mine heartH3820 with thee, when the manH376 turnedH2015 again from his chariotH4818 to meetH7125 thee? Is it a timeH6256 to receiveH3947 moneyH3701, and to receiveH3947 garmentsH899, and oliveyardsH2132, and vineyardsH3754, and sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198?
The leprosyH6883 therefore of NaamanH5283 shall cleaveH1692 unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233 for everH5769. And he went outH3318 from his presenceH6440 a leperH6879 as white as snowH7950.
ButG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 everyG3956 idleG692 wordG4487 thatG3739+G1437 menG444 shall speakG2980, they shall giveG591 accountG3056 thereofG4012+G846 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920.
ForG1063 weG2248 mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 the judgment seatG968 of ChristG5547; thatG2443 every oneG1538 may receiveG2865 the things done inG1223 his bodyG4983, accordingG4314 to thatG3739 he hath doneG4238, whetherG1535 it be goodG18 orG1535 badG2556.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The heavensH8064 declareH5608 the gloryH3519 of GodH410; and the firmamentH7549 sheweth hisH5046 handyworkH4639+H3027.
DayH3117 unto dayH3117 utterethH5042 speechH562, and nightH3915 unto nightH3915 shewethH2331 knowledgeH1847.
There is no speechH562 nor languageH1697, where their voiceH6963 is not heardH8085. {where…: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heard}
Their lineH6957 is gone outH3318 through all the earthH776, and their wordsH4405 to the endH7097 of the worldH8398. In them hath he setH7760 a tabernacleH168 for the sunH8121, {line: or, rule, or, direction}
Which is as a bridegroomH2860 coming outH3318 of his chamberH2646, and rejoicethH7797 as a strong manH1368 to runH7323 a raceH734.
His going forthH4161 is from the endH7097 of the heavenH8064, and his circuitH8622 unto the endsH7098 of it: and there is nothing hidH5641 from the heatH2535 thereof.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 for everH5703: the judgmentsH4941 of the LORDH3068 are trueH571 and righteousH6663 altogetherH3162. {true: Heb. truth}
More to be desiredH2530 are they than goldH2091, yea, than muchH7227 fine goldH6337: sweeterH4966 also than honeyH1706 and the honeycombH5317+H6688. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}
Moreover by them is thy servantH5650 warnedH2094: and in keepingH8104 of them there is greatH7227 rewardH6118.
Who can understandH995 his errorsH7691? cleanseH5352 thou me from secretH5641 faults.
Keep backH2820 thy servantH5650 also from presumptuousH2086 sins; let them not have dominionH4910 over me: then shall I be uprightH8552, and I shall be innocentH5352 from the greatH7227 transgressionH6588. {the great: or, much}
Let the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310, and the meditationH1902 of my heartH3820, be acceptableH7522 in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068, my strengthH6697, and my redeemerH1350. {strength: Heb. rock}
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to keepG5442 youG5209+G846 from fallingG679, andG2532 to presentG2476 you faultlessG299 before the presenceG2714 of hisG846 gloryG1391 withG1722 exceeding joyG20,
To the onlyG3441 wiseG4680 GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990, be gloryG1391 andG2532 majestyG3172, dominionG2904 andG2532 powerG1849, bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 everG1519+G3956+G165. AmenG281.
BecauseG1360 it is writtenG1125, Be yeG1096 holyG40; forG3754 IG1473 amG1510 holyG40.
