WhereforeG3767 laying asideG659 allG3956 maliceG2549, andG2532 allG3956 guileG1388, andG2532 hypocrisiesG5272, andG2532 enviesG5355, andG2532 allG3956 evil speakingsG2636,
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.
And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 pastH5674 the topH7218 of the hill, behold, ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of MephiboshethH4648 metH7125 him, with a coupleH6776 of assesH2543 saddledH2280, and upon them two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899, and an hundredH3967 bunches of raisinsH6778, and an hundredH3967 of summer fruitsH7019, and a bottleH5035 of wineH3196.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The assesH2543 be for the king'sH4428 householdH1004 to ride onH7392; and the breadH3899 and summer fruitH7019 for the young menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that such as be faintH3287 in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, And where is thy master'sH113 sonH1121? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, he abidethH3427 at JerusalemH3389: for he saidH559, To dayH3117 shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 restoreH7725 me the kingdomH4468 of my fatherH1.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I humblyH7812 beseech thee that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428. {I humbly…: Heb. I do obeisance}
And when kingH4428 DavidH1732 cameH935 to BahurimH980, behold, thence came outH3318 a manH376 of the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, whose nameH8034 was ShimeiH8096, the sonH1121 of GeraH1617: he came forthH3318, and cursedH7043 still as he cameH3318. {he came forth…: or, he still came forth and cursed}
And he castH5619 stonesH68 at DavidH1732, and at all the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 DavidH1732: and all the peopleH5971 and all the mighty menH1368 were on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And thus saidH559 ShimeiH8096 when he cursedH7043, Come outH3318, come outH3318, thou bloodyH1818 manH376, and thou manH376 of BelialH1100: {bloody…: Heb. man of blood}
The LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 upon thee all the bloodH1818 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, in whose stead thou hast reignedH4427; and the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 the kingdomH4410 into the handH3027 of AbsalomH53 thy sonH1121: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischiefH7451, because thou art a bloodyH1818 manH376. {behold…: Heb. behold thee in thy evil}
Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 unto the kingH4428, Why should this deadH4191 dogH3611 curseH7043 my lordH113 the kingH4428? let me go overH5674, I pray thee, and take offH5493 his headH7218.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, What have I to do with you, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870? so let him curseH7043, because the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto him, CurseH7043 DavidH1732. Who shall then sayH559, Wherefore hast thou done soH6213?
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, and to all his servantsH5650, Behold, my sonH1121, which came forthH3318 of my bowelsH4578, seekethH1245 my lifeH5315: how much more now may this BenjamiteH1145 do it? let him aloneH3240, and let him curseH7043; for the LORDH3068 hath biddenH559 him.
It may be that the LORDH3068 will lookH7200 on mine afflictionH5869+H6040, and that the LORDH3068 will requiteH7725 me goodH2896 for his cursingH7045 this dayH3117. {affliction: or, tears: Heb. eye}
And as DavidH1732 and his menH582 wentH3212 by the wayH1870, ShimeiH8096 went alongH1980 on the hill'sH2022 sideH6763 over againstH5980 him, and cursedH7043 as he wentH1980, and threwH5619 stonesH68 atH5980 him, and castH6080 dustH6083. {cast…: Heb. dusted him with dust}
And the kingH4428, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, cameH935 wearyH5889, and refreshedH5314 themselves there.
And AbsalomH53, and all the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and AhithophelH302 with him.
And it came to pass, when HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757, David'sH1732 friendH7463, was comeH935 unto AbsalomH53, that HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, God saveH2421 the kingH4428, God saveH2421 the kingH4428. {God…: Heb. Let the king live}
And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to HushaiH2365, Is this thy kindnessH2617 to thy friendH7453? why wentestH1980 thou not with thy friendH7453?
And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Nay; but whom the LORDH3068, and this peopleH5971, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, chooseH977, his will I be, and with him will I abideH3427.
And againH8145, whom should I serveH5647? should I not serve in the presenceH6440 of his sonH1121? as I have servedH5647 in thy father'sH1 presenceH6440, so will I be in thy presenceH6440.
Then saidH559 AbsalomH53 to AhithophelH302, GiveH3051 counselH6098 among you what we shall doH6213.
And AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Go inH935 unto thy father'sH1 concubinesH6370, which he hath leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art abhorredH887 of thy fatherH1: then shall the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388.
So they spreadH5186 AbsalomH53 a tentH168 upon the top of the houseH1406; and AbsalomH53 went inH935 unto his father'sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478.
And the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, which he counselledH3289 in those daysH3117, was as if a manH376 had enquiredH7592 at the oracleH1697 of GodH430: so was all the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 both with DavidH1732 and with AbsalomH53. {oracle: Heb. word}
ThenG3767 they reviledG3058 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 hisG1565 discipleG3101; butG1161 weG2249 areG2070 Moses'G3475 disciplesG3101.
IfG1487 ye be reproachedG3679 forG1722 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, happyG3107 are ye; forG3754 the spiritG4151 of gloryG1391 andG2532 of GodG2316 restethG373 uponG1909 youG5209: onG2596+G3303 their partG846 he is evil spoken ofG987, butG1161 onG2596 your partG5209 he is glorifiedG1392.
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}
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391. {government: or, dominion}
WhereinG1722+G3739 they think it strangeG3579 that yeG5216 runG4936 notG3361 with them toG1519 the sameG846 excessG401 of riotG810, speaking evil ofG987 you:
Let notG3361 thenG3767 yourG5216 goodG18 be evil spoken ofG987:
ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
AndG1161 whyG5101 beholdestG991 thou the moteG2595 that is inG1722 thyG4675 brother'sG80 eyeG3788, butG1161 considerestG2657 notG3756 the beamG1385 that is inG1722 thine ownG4674 eyeG3788?
DeathH4194 and lifeH2416 are in the powerH3027 of the tongueH3956: and they that loveH157 it shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof.
The wickedH7451 is snaredH4170 by the transgressionH6588 of his lipsH8193: but the justH6662 shall come outH3318 of troubleH6869. {The wicked…: Heb. The snare of the wicked is in the transgression of lips}
MyG3450 brethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 manyG4183 mastersG1320, knowingG1492 thatG3754 we shall receiveG2983 the greaterG3187 condemnationG2917. {condemnation: or, judgment}
ForG1063 in many thingsG4183 we offendG4417 allG537. If any manG1536 offendG4417 notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, the sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, and ableG1415 alsoG2532 to bridleG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400, we putG906 bitsG5469 inG1519 the horses'G2462 mouthsG4750, thatG4314 theyG846 may obeyG3982 usG2254; andG2532 we turn aboutG3329 theirG846 wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400 alsoG2532 the shipsG4143, which though they beG5607 so greatG5082, andG2532 are drivenG1643 ofG5259 fierceG4642 windsG417, yet are they turned aboutG3329 withG5259 a very smallG1646 helmG4079, whithersoeverG3699+G302 the governorG2116 listethG3730+G1014.
EvenG2532 soG3779 the tongueG1100 isG2076 a littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth great thingsG3166. BeholdG2400, how greatG2245 a matterG5208 a littleG3641 fireG4442 kindlethG381! {a matter: or, wood}
AndG2532 the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, a worldG2889 of iniquityG93: soG3779 isG2525 the tongueG1100 amongG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196, that it defilethG4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, andG2532 setteth on fireG5394 the courseG5164 of natureG1078; andG2532 it is set on fireG5394 ofG5259 hellG1067. {course: Gr. wheel}
ForG1063 everyG3956 kindG5449 of beastsG2342, andG5037+G2532 of birdsG4071, andG5037 of serpentsG2062, andG2532 of things in the seaG1724, is tamedG1150, andG2532 hath been tamedG1150 of mankindG5449+G442: {kind: Gr. nature} {mankind: Gr. nature of man}
ButG1161 the tongueG1100 canG1410 noG3762 manG444 tameG1150; it is an unrulyG183 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.
TherewithG1722+G846 bless weG2127 GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; andG2532 therewithG1722+G846 curse weG2672 menG444, whichG3588 are madeG1096 afterG2596 the similitudeG3669 of GodG2316.
Out ofG1537 the sameG846 mouthG4750 proceedethG1831 blessingG2129 andG2532 cursingG2671. MyG3450 brethrenG80, these thingsG5023 oughtG5534 notG3756 soG3779 to beG1096.
DothG3385 a fountainG4077 send forthG1032 atG1537 the sameG846 placeG3692 sweetG1099 water andG2532 bitterG4089? {place: or, hole}
CanG3361+G1410 the fig treeG4808, myG3450 brethrenG80, bearG4160 olive berriesG1636? eitherG2228 a vineG288, figsG4810? soG3779 can noG3762 fountainG4077 both yieldG4160 saltG252 waterG5204 andG2532 freshG1099.
WhoG5101 is a wise manG4680 andG2532 endued with knowledgeG1990 amongG1722 youG5213? let him shewG1166 out ofG1537 a goodG2570 conversationG391 hisG846 worksG2041 withG1722 meeknessG4240 of wisdomG4678.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye haveG2192 bitterG4089 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588, gloryG2620 notG3361, andG2532 lie notG5574 againstG2596 the truthG225.
ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 descendethG2076+G2718 notG3756 from aboveG509, butG235 is earthlyG1919, sensualG5591, devilishG1141. {sensual: or, natural}
ForG1063 whereG3699 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 is, thereG1563 is confusionG181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 workG4229. {confusion: Gr. tumult or unquietness}
ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that is from aboveG509 isG2076 firstG4412 pureG3303+G53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505. {partiality: or, wrangling}
AndG1161 the fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 inG1722 peaceG1515 of them that makeG4160 peaceG1515.
He that backbitethH7270 not with his tongueH3956, nor doethH6213 evilH7451 to his neighbourH7453, nor taketh upH5375 a reproachH2781 against his neighbourH7138. {taketh…: or, receiveth, or, endureth}
Whoso privilyH5643 slanderethH3960+H3960 his neighbourH7453, him will I cut offH6789: him that hath an highH1362 lookH5869 and a proudH7342 heartH3824 will not I sufferH3201.
Where noH657 woodH6086 is, there the fireH784 goeth outH3518: so where there is no talebearerH5372, the strifeH4066 ceasethH8367. {Where no…: Heb. Without wood} {talebearer: or, whisperer} {ceaseth: Heb. is silent}
The wordsH1697 of a talebearerH5372 are as woundsH3859, and they go downH3381 into the innermost partsH2315 of the bellyH990. {innermost…: Heb. chambers}
There isH3426 that speakethH981 like the piercingsH4094 of a swordH2719: but the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is healthH4832.
ForG1063 he that willG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222, andG2532 seeG1492 goodG18 daysG2250, let him refrainG3973 hisG846 tongueG1100 fromG575 evilG2556, andG2532 hisG846 lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 noG3361 guileG1388:
Let him eschewG1578+G575 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846.
