Now it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhasuerusH325, (this is AhasuerusH325 which reignedH4427, from IndiaH1912 even unto EthiopiaH3568, over an hundredH3967 and sevenH7651 and twentyH6242 provincesH4082:)
That in those daysH3117, when the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 satH3427 on the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4438, which was in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002,
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, he madeH6213 a feastH4960 unto all his princesH8269 and his servantsH5650; the powerH2428 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, the noblesH6579 and princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, being beforeH6440 him:
When he shewedH7200 the richesH6239 of his gloriousH3519 kingdomH4438 and the honourH3366 of his excellentH8597 majestyH1420 manyH7227 daysH3117, even an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 daysH3117.
And when these daysH3117 were expiredH4390, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a feastH4960 unto all the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672 in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002, both unto greatH1419 and smallH6996, sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the courtH2691 of the gardenH1594 of the king'sH4428 palaceH1055; {present: Heb. found}
Where were whiteH2353, greenH3768, and blueH8504, hangings, fastenedH270 with cordsH2256 of fine linenH948 and purpleH713 to silverH3701 ringsH1550 and pillarsH5982 of marbleH8336: the bedsH4296 were of goldH2091 and silverH3701, upon a pavementH7531 of redH923, and blueH8504, and whiteH1858, and blackH5508, marbleH8336. {blue, hangings: or, violet, etc} {of red…: or, of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and stone of blue colour}
And they gave them drinkH8248 in vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, (the vesselsH3627 being diverseH8138 one from anotherH3627,) and royalH4438 wineH3196 in abundanceH7227, according to the stateH3027 of the kingH4428. {royal…: Heb. wine of the kingdom} {state: Heb. hand}
And the drinkingH8360 was according to the lawH1881; none did compelH597: for so the kingH4428 had appointedH3245 to all the officersH7227 of his houseH1004, that they should doH6213 according to every man'sH376 pleasureH7522.
Also VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 madeH6213 a feastH4960 for the womenH802 in the royalH4438 houseH1004 which belonged to kingH4428 AhasuerusH325.
On the seventhH7637 dayH3117, when the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 was merryH2896 with wineH3196, he commandedH559 MehumanH4104, BizthaH968, HarbonaH2726, BigthaH903, and AbagthaH5, ZetharH2242, and CarcasH3752, the sevenH7651 chamberlainsH5631 that servedH8334 in the presenceH6440 of AhasuerusH325 the kingH4428, {chamberlains: or, eunuchs}
To bringH935 VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 with the crownH3804 royalH4438, to shewH7200 the peopleH5971 and the princesH8269 her beautyH3308: for she was fairH2896 to look onH4758. {fair…: Heb. good of countenance}
But the queenH4436 VashtiH2060 refusedH3985 to comeH935 at the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 byH3027 his chamberlainsH5631: therefore was the kingH4428 veryH3966 wrothH7107, and his angerH2534 burnedH1197 in him. {by his…: Heb. which was by the hand of his eunuchs}
Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to the wise menH2450, which knewH3045 the timesH6256, (for so was the king'sH4428 mannerH1697 towardH6440 all that knewH3045 lawH1881 and judgmentH1779:
And the nextH7138 unto him was CarshenaH3771, ShetharH8369, AdmathaH133, TarshishH8659, MeresH4825, MarsenaH4826, and MemucanH4462, the sevenH7651 princesH8269 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, which sawH7200 the king'sH4428 faceH6440, and which satH3427 the firstH7223 in the kingdomH4438;)
What shall we doH6213 unto the queenH4436 VashtiH2060 according to lawH1881, because she hath not performedH6213 the commandmentH3982 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 byH3027 the chamberlainsH5631? {What…: Heb. What to do}
And MemucanH4462 answeredH559 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269, VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 hath not done wrongH5753 to the kingH4428 only, but also to all the princesH8269, and to all the peopleH5971 that are in all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325.
For this deedH1697 of the queenH4436 shall come abroadH3318 unto all womenH802, so that they shall despiseH959 their husbandsH1167 in their eyesH5869, when it shall be reportedH559, The kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 commandedH559 VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 to be brought inH935 beforeH6440 him, but she cameH935 not.
Likewise shall the ladiesH8282 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074 sayH559 this dayH3117 unto all the king'sH4428 princesH8269, which have heardH8085 of the deedH1697 of the queenH4436. Thus shall there arise too muchH1767 contemptH963 and wrathH7110.
If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let there goH3318 a royalH4438 commandmentH1697 from himH6440, and let it be writtenH3789 among the lawsH1881 of the PersiansH6539 and the MedesH4074, that it be not alteredH5674, That VashtiH2060 comeH935 no more beforeH6440 kingH4428 AhasuerusH325; and let the kingH4428 giveH5414 her royal estateH4438 unto anotherH7468 that is betterH2896 than she. {If it…: Heb. If it be good with the king} {unto…: Heb. unto her companion} {from him: Heb. from before him} {be not…: Heb. pass not away}
And when the king'sH4428 decreeH6599 which he shall makeH6213 shall be publishedH8085 throughout all his empireH4438, (for it is greatH7227,) all the wivesH802 shall giveH5414 to their husbandsH1167 honourH3366, both to greatH1419 and smallH6996.
And the sayingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269; and the kingH4428 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MemucanH4462: {pleased…: Heb. was good in the eyes of the king}
For he sentH7971 lettersH5612 into all the king'sH4428 provincesH4082, into every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and to every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956, that every manH376 should bear ruleH8323 in his own houseH1004, and that it should be publishedH1696 according to the languageH3956 of every peopleH5971. {that it…: Heb. that one should publish it according to the language of his people}
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4675 prophetsG4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4675 altarsG2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG3450 lifeG5590.
ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of BaalG896.
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361+G1096: butG235 rather through theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come unto the GentilesG1484, for toG1519 provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863.
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
ForG1063 I speakG3004 to youG5213 GentilesG1484, inasmuch asG1909+G3745+G3303 IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 of the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 mineG3450 officeG1248:
If by any meansG1513+G4458 I may provoke to emulationG3863 them which are myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 might saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the casting awayG580 of themG846 be the reconcilingG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 shall the receivingG4356 of them be, butG1508 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498?
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
AndG1161 if someG1536 of the branchesG2798 be broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771, beingG5607 a wild olive treeG65, wert graffed inG1461 amongG1722 themG846, andG2532 withG4791 themG1096 partakestG4791 of the rootG4491 andG2532 fatnessG4096 of the olive treeG1636; {among them: or, for them}
BoastG2620 notG3361 againstG2620 the branchesG2798. ButG1161 ifG1487 thou boastG2620, thouG4771 bearestG941 notG3756 the rootG4491, butG235 the rootG4491 theeG4571.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767, The branchesG2798 were broken offG1575, thatG2443 IG1473 might be graffed inG1461.
WellG2573; because of unbeliefG570 they were broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771 standestG2476 by faithG4102. BeG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, butG235 fearG5399:
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798+G2596, take heed lestG4458+G3381 heG5339 alsoG3381 spareG5339 notG3761 theeG4675.
BeholdG1492 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 andG2532 severityG663 of GodG2316: onG1909 them which fellG4098+G3303, severityG663; butG1161 towardG1909 theeG4571, goodnessG5544, ifG1437 thou continueG1961 in his goodnessG5544: otherwiseG1893 thouG4771 alsoG2532 shalt be cut offG1581.
AndG1161 theyG1565 alsoG2532, ifG3362 they abideG1961 notG3362 still in unbeliefG570, shall be graffed inG1461: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to graffG1461 themG846 inG1461 againG3825.
ForG1063 ifG1487 thouG4771 wert cutG1581 out ofG1537 the olive tree which is wildG65 byG2596 natureG5449, andG2532 wert graffedG1461 contrary toG3844 natureG5449 intoG1519 a good olive treeG2565: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shall theseG3778, which be the naturalG2596+G5449 branches, be graffed intoG1461 their ownG2398 olive treeG1636?
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. {believed: or, obeyed}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercyG1653 upon allG3956. {concluded…: or, shut them all up together}
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825?
OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
