Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH7931 in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764: for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the accursed thingH2764: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH582 from JerichoH3405 to AiH5857, which is besideH5973 BethavenH1007, on the east sideH6924 of BethelH1008, and spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, Go upH5927 and viewH7270 the countryH776. And the menH582 went upH5927 and viewedH7270 AiH5857.
And they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 unto him, Let not all the peopleH5971 go upH5927; but let about two or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 go upH5927 and smiteH5221 AiH5857; and make not all the peopleH5971 to labourH3021 thither; for they are but fewH4592. {about…: Heb. about two thousand men, or, about three thousand men}
So there went upH5927 thither of the peopleH5971 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH582 of AiH5857.
And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them in the going downH4174: wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and became as waterH4325. {in…: or, in Morad}
And JoshuaH3091 rentH7167 his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 until the eventideH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and putH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Alas, OH162 LordH136 GODH3069, wherefore hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? would to GodH3863 we had been contentH2974, and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383!
OH994 LordH136, what shall I sayH559, whenH310 IsraelH3478 turnethH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341! {backs: Heb. necks}
For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us roundH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Get thee upH6965; wherefore liestH5307 thou thus upon thy faceH6440? {liest: Heb. fallest}
IsraelH3478 hath sinnedH2398, and they have also transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them: for they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and have also stolenH1589, and dissembledH3584 also, and they have putH7760 it even among their own stuffH3627.
Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 couldH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, but turnedH6437 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, because they were accursedH2764: neither will I be with you any moreH3254, exceptH3808 ye destroyH8045 the accursedH2764 from amongH7130 you.
UpH6965, sanctifyH6942 the peopleH5971, and sayH559, SanctifyH6942 yourselves against to morrowH4279: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, There is an accursed thingH2764 in the midstH7130 of thee, O IsraelH3478: thou canstH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341, until ye take awayH5493 the accursed thingH2764 from amongH7130 you.
In the morningH1242 therefore ye shall be broughtH7126 according to your tribesH7626: and it shall be, that the tribeH7626 which the LORDH3068 takethH3920 shall comeH7126 according to the familiesH4940 thereof; and the familyH4940 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 by householdsH1004; and the householdH1004 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 manH1397 by manH1397.
And it shall be, that he that is takenH3920 with the accursed thingH2764 shall be burntH8313 with fireH784, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and because he hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478. {folly: or, wickedness}
So JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and broughtH7126 IsraelH3478 by their tribesH7626; and the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of JudahH3063; and he tookH3920 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227: and he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227 manH1397 by manH1397; and ZabdiH2067 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 his householdH1004 manH1397 by manH1397; and AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, was takenH3920.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto AchanH5912, My sonH1121, giveH7760, I pray thee, gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto him; and tellH5046 me now what thou hast doneH6213; hideH3582 it not from me.
And AchanH5912 answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, IndeedH546 I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and thus and thus have I doneH6213:
When I sawH7200 among the spoilsH7998 aH259 goodlyH2896 BabylonishH8152 garmentH155, and two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and aH259 wedgeH3956 of goldH2091 of fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 weightH4948, then I covetedH2530 them, and tookH3947 them; and, behold, they are hidH2934 in the earthH776 in the midstH8432 of my tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it. {wedge: Heb. tongue}
So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and they ranH7323 unto the tentH168; and, behold, it was hidH2934 in his tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it.
And they tookH3947 them out of the midstH8432 of the tentH168, and broughtH935 them unto JoshuaH3091, and unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and laid them outH3332 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {laid: Heb. poured}
And JoshuaH3091, and all IsraelH3478 with him, tookH3947 AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, and the silverH3701, and the garmentH155, and the wedgeH3956 of goldH2091, and his sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323, and his oxenH7794, and his assesH2543, and his sheepH6629, and his tentH168, and all that he had: and they broughtH5927 them unto the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, WhyH4100 hast thou troubledH5916 us? the LORDH3068 shall troubleH5916 thee this dayH3117. And all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, and burnedH8313 them with fireH784, after they had stonedH5619 them with stonesH68.
And they raisedH6965 over him a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 unto this dayH3117. So the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of AchorH5911, unto this dayH3117. {Achor: that is, Trouble}
IfG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 hisG846 brotherG80 sinG264 a sinG266 which is notG3361 untoG4314 deathG2288, he shall askG154, andG2532 he shall giveG1325 himG846 lifeG2222 for them that sinG264 notG3361 untoG4314 deathG2288. There isG2076 a sinG266 untoG4314 deathG2288: I do notG3756 sayG3004 thatG2443 he shall prayG2065 forG4012 itG1565.
They sayG3004 unto himG846, He will miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG290 unto otherG243 husbandmenG1092, whichG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG2540.
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?
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, I declareG1107 unto youG5213 the gospelG2098 whichG3739 I preachedG2097 unto youG5213, whichG3739 alsoG2532 ye have receivedG3880, andG2532 whereinG1722+G3739 ye standG2476;
ByG1223 whichG3739 alsoG2532 ye are savedG4982, ifG1487 ye keepG2722 in memory whatG5101+G3056 I preachedG2097 unto youG5213, unlessG1622+G1508 ye have believedG4100 in vainG1500. {keep…: or, hold fast} {what: Gr. by what speech}
ForG1063 I deliveredG3860 unto youG5213 first of allG1722+G4413 that whichG3739 IG3880 alsoG2532 receivedG3880, howG3754 that ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 ourG2257 sinsG266 accordingG2596 to the scripturesG1124;
AndG2532 thatG3754 he was buriedG2290, andG2532 thatG3754 he rose againG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 accordingG2596 to the scripturesG1124:
AndG2532 thatG3754 he was seenG3700 of CephasG2786, thenG1534 of the twelveG1427:
After thatG1899, he was seenG3700 of aboveG1883 five hundredG4001 brethrenG80 at onceG2178; ofG1537 whomG3739 the greater partG4119 remainG3306 untoG2193 this presentG737, butG1161 someG5100+G2532 are fallen asleepG2837.
After thatG1899, he was seenG3700 of JamesG2385; thenG1534 of allG3956 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 lastG2078 of allG3956 he was seenG3700 of me alsoG2504, asG5619 of one born out of due timeG1626. {one…: or, an abortive}
ForG1063 IG1473 amG1510 the leastG1646 of the apostlesG652, thatG3739 amG1510 notG3756 meetG2425 to be calledG2564 an apostleG652, becauseG1360 I persecutedG1377 the churchG1577 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 I amG1510 whatG3739 I amG1510: andG2532 hisG846 graceG5485 which was bestowed uponG1519 meG1691 wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756; butG235 I labouredG2872 more abundantlyG4054 than theyG846 allG3956: yetG1161 notG3756 IG1473, butG235 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 was withG4862 meG1698.
ThereforeG3767 whetherG1535 it were IG1473 orG1535 theyG1565, soG3779 we preachG2784, andG2532 soG3779 ye believedG4100.
NowG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be preachedG2784 thatG3754 he roseG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, howG4459 sayG3004 someG5100 amongG1722 youG5213 thatG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498?
ButG1161 ifG1487 there beG2076 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, thenG3761 isG1453 ChristG5547 notG3761 risenG1453:
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 risenG1453, thenG686 is ourG2257 preachingG2782 vainG2756, andG2532 yourG5216 faithG4102 isG1161 alsoG2532 vainG2756.
YeaG1161, andG2532 we are foundG2147 false witnessesG5575 of GodG2316; becauseG3754 we have testifiedG3140 ofG2596 GodG2316 thatG3754 he raised upG1453 ChristG5547: whomG3739 he raisedG1453 notG3756 upG1453, ifG1512 so beG686 that the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756, then isG1453 notG3761 ChristG5547 raisedG1453:
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 raisedG1453, yourG5216 faithG4102 is vainG3152; ye areG2075 yetG2089 inG1722 yourG5216 sinsG266.
ThenG686 they alsoG2532 which are fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 are perishedG622.
IfG1487 inG1722 thisG5026 lifeG2222 onlyG3440 we have hopeG1679+G2070 inG1722 ChristG5547, we areG2070 of allG3956 menG444 most miserableG1652.
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
ForG1063 sinceG1894 byG1223 manG444 came deathG2288, byG1223 manG444 came alsoG2532 the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498.
ForG1063 asG5618 inG1722 AdamG76 allG3956 dieG599, evenG2532 soG3779 inG1722 ChristG5547 shallG2227 allG3956 be made aliveG2227.
ButG1161 every manG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; afterwardG1899 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
ThenG1534 cometh the endG5056, whenG3752 he shall have delivered upG3860 the kingdomG932 to GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; whenG3752 he shall have put downG2673 allG3956 ruleG746 andG2532 allG3956 authorityG1849 andG2532 powerG1411.
ForG1063 heG846 mustG1163 reignG936, tillG891+G3739 he hath putG302+G5087 allG3956 enemiesG2190 underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228.
The lastG2078 enemyG2190 that shall be destroyedG2673 is deathG2288.
ForG1063 he hath putG5293 all thingsG3956 underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228. ButG1161 whenG3752 he saithG2036+G3754, all thingsG3956 are put underG5293 him, it is manifestG1212 thatG3754 he is exceptedG1622, which did putG5293 all thingsG3956 underG5293 himG846.
AndG1161 whenG3752 all thingsG3956 shall be subduedG5293 unto himG846, thenG5119 shallG5293 the SonG5207 alsoG2532 himselfG846 be subjectG5293 unto him that putG5293 all thingsG3956 underG5293 himG846, thatG2443 GodG2316 may beG5600 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ElseG1893 whatG5101 shall they doG4160 which are baptizedG907 forG5228 the deadG3498, ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756 at allG3654? whyG5101+G2532 are they then baptizedG907 forG5228 the deadG3498?
AndG2532 whyG5101 standG2793 weG2249 in jeopardyG2793 everyG3956 hourG5610?
I protest byG3513 yourG5212 rejoicingG2251+G2746 whichG3739 I haveG2192 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962, I dieG599 dailyG2596+G2250. {your: some read, our}
IfG1487 after the mannerG2596 of menG444 I have fought with beastsG2341 atG1722 EphesusG2181, whatG5101 advantageth itG3786 meG3427, ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756? let us eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095; forG1063 to morrowG839 we dieG599. {after…: or, to speak after the manner of men}
BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: evilG2556 communicationsG3657 corruptG5351 goodG5543 mannersG2239.
AwakeG1594 to righteousnessG1346, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361; forG1063 someG5100 haveG2192 not the knowledgeG56 of GodG2316: I speakG3004 this toG4314 yourG5213 shameG1791.
ButG235 someG5100 man will sayG2046, HowG4459 areG1453 the deadG3498 raised upG1453? andG1161 with whatG4169 bodyG4983 do they comeG2064?
Thou foolG878, that whichG3739 thouG4771 sowestG4687 isG2227 notG3756 quickenedG2227, exceptG3362 it dieG599:
AndG2532 that whichG3739 thou sowestG4687, thou sowestG4687 notG3756 that bodyG4983 that shall beG1096, butG235 bareG1131 grainG2848, it may chanceG1487+G5177 of wheatG4621, orG2228 of someG5100 otherG3062 grain:
ButG1161 GodG2316 givethG1325 itG846 a bodyG4983 asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309, andG2532 to everyG1538 seedG4690 his ownG2398 bodyG4983.
AllG3956 fleshG4561 is notG3756 the sameG846 fleshG4561: butG235+G3303 there is oneG243 kind of fleshG4561 of menG444+G1161, anotherG243 fleshG4561 of beastsG2934+G1161, anotherG243 of fishesG2486, andG1161 anotherG243 of birdsG4421.
There are alsoG2532 celestialG2032 bodiesG4983, andG2532 bodiesG4983 terrestrialG1919: butG235+G3303 the gloryG1391 of the celestialG2032 is oneG2087, andG1161 the glory of the terrestrialG1919 is anotherG2087.
There is oneG243 gloryG1391 of the sunG2246, andG2532 anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the moonG4582, andG2532 anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the starsG792: forG1063 one starG792 differeth fromG1308 another starG792 inG1722 gloryG1391.
SoG3779 alsoG2532 is the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498. It is sownG4687 inG1722 corruptionG5356; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 incorruptionG861:
It is sownG4687 inG1722 dishonourG819; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 gloryG1391: it is sownG4687 inG1722 weaknessG769; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 powerG1411:
It is sownG4687 a naturalG5591 bodyG4983; it is raisedG1453 a spiritualG4152 bodyG4983. There isG2076 a naturalG5591 bodyG4983, andG2532 there isG2076 a spiritualG4152 bodyG4983.
AndG2532 soG3779 it is writtenG1125, The firstG4413 manG444 AdamG76 was madeG1096+G1519 a livingG2198 soulG5590; the lastG2078 AdamG76 was madeG1519 a quickeningG2227 spiritG4151.
HowbeitG235 that was notG3756 firstG4412 which is spiritualG4152, butG235 that which is naturalG5591; and afterwardG1899 that which is spiritualG4152.
The firstG4413 manG444 is ofG1537 the earthG1093, earthyG5517: the secondG1208 manG444 is the LordG2962 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
AsG3634 is the earthyG5517, suchG5108 are they alsoG2532 that are earthyG5517: andG2532 as isG3634 the heavenlyG2032, suchG5108 are theyG2032 alsoG2532 that are heavenlyG2032.
AndG2532 asG2531 we have borneG5409 the imageG1504 of the earthyG5517, we shallG5409 alsoG2532 bearG5409 the imageG1504 of the heavenlyG2032.
NowG1161 thisG5124 I sayG5346, brethrenG80, thatG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 cannotG3756+G1410 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; neitherG3761 dothG2816 corruptionG5356 inheritG2816 incorruptionG861.
BeholdG2400, I shewG3004 youG5213 a mysteryG3466; We shallG2837 notG3756 allG3956+G3303 sleepG2837, butG1161 we shallG236 allG3956 be changedG236,
InG1722 a momentG823, inG1722 the twinklingG4493 of an eyeG3788, atG1722 the lastG2078 trumpG4536: forG1063 the trumpet shall soundG4537, andG2532 the deadG3498 shall be raisedG1453 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 weG2249 shall be changedG236.
ForG1063 thisG5124 corruptibleG5349 mustG1163 put onG1746 incorruptionG861, andG2532 thisG5124 mortalG2349 must put onG1746 immortalityG110.
SoG1161 whenG3752 thisG5124 corruptibleG5349 shall have put onG1746 incorruptionG861, andG2532 thisG5124 mortalG2349 shall have put onG1746 immortalityG110, thenG5119 shall be brought to passG1096 the sayingG3056 that is writtenG1125, DeathG2288 is swallowed upG2666 inG1519 victoryG3534.
O deathG2288, whereG4226 is thyG4675 stingG2759? O graveG86, whereG4226 is thyG4675 victoryG3534? {grave: or, hell}
The stingG2759 of deathG2288 is sinG266; andG1161 the strengthG1411 of sinG266 is the lawG3551.
ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whichG3588 givethG1325 usG2254 the victoryG3534 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, be yeG1096 stedfastG1476, unmoveableG277, alwaysG3842 aboundingG4052 inG1722 the workG2041 of the LordG2962, forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 yourG5216 labourG2873 isG2076 notG3756 in vainG2756 inG1722 the LordG2962.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
SingH7442, O barrenH6135, thou that didst not bearH3205; break forthH6476 into singingH7440, and cry aloudH6670, thou that didst not travail with childH2342: for moreH7227 are the childrenH1121 of the desolateH8074 than the childrenH1121 of the married wifeH1166, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
EnlargeH7337 the placeH4725 of thy tentH168, and let them stretch forthH5186 the curtainsH3407 of thine habitationsH4908: spareH2820 not, lengthenH748 thy cordsH4340, and strengthenH2388 thy stakesH3489;
For thou shalt break forthH6555 on the right handH3225 and on the leftH8040; and thy seedH2233 shall inheritH3423 the GentilesH1471, and make the desolateH8074 citiesH5892 to be inhabitedH3427.
FearH3372 not; for thou shalt not be ashamedH954: neither be thou confoundedH3637; for thou shalt not be put to shameH2659: for thou shalt forgetH7911 the shameH1322 of thy youthH5934, and shalt not rememberH2142 the reproachH2781 of thy widowhoodH491 any more.
For thy MakerH6213 is thine husbandH1166; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034; and thy RedeemerH1350 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; The GodH430 of the whole earthH776 shall he be calledH7121.
For the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 thee as a womanH802 forsakenH5800 and grievedH6087 in spiritH7307, and a wifeH802 of youthH5271, when thou wast refusedH3988, saithH559 thy GodH430.
For a smallH6996 momentH7281 have I forsakenH5800 thee; but with greatH1419 merciesH7356 will I gatherH6908 thee.
In a littleH8241 wrathH7110 I hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thee for a momentH7281; but with everlastingH5769 kindnessH2617 will I have mercyH7355 on thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy RedeemerH1350.
For this is as the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 unto me: for as I have swornH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 should no more go overH5674 the earthH776; so have I swornH7650 that I would not be wrothH7107 with thee, nor rebukeH1605 thee.
For the mountainsH2022 shall departH4185, and the hillsH1389 be removedH4131; but my kindnessH2617 shall not departH4185 from thee, neither shall the covenantH1285 of my peaceH7965 be removedH4131, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that hath mercyH7355 on thee.
O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempestH5590, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will layH7257 thy stonesH68 with fair coloursH6320, and lay thy foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.
And I will makeH7760 thy windowsH8121 of agatesH3539, and thy gatesH8179 of carbunclesH68+H688, and all thy bordersH1366 of pleasantH2656 stonesH68.
And all thy childrenH1121 shall be taughtH3928 of the LORDH3068; and greatH7227 shall be the peaceH7965 of thy childrenH1121.
In righteousnessH6666 shalt thou be establishedH3559: thou shalt be farH7368 from oppressionH6233; for thou shalt not fearH3372: and from terrorH4288; for it shall not come nearH7126 thee.
Behold, they shall surelyH1481 gather togetherH1481, but notH657 by me: whosoeverH4310 shall gather togetherH1481 against thee shall fallH5307 for thy sake.
Behold, I have createdH1254 the smithH2796 that blowethH5301 the coalsH6352 in the fireH784, and that bringeth forthH3318 an instrumentH3627 for his workH4639; and I have createdH1254 the wasterH7843 to destroyH2254.
No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, and their righteousnessH6666 is of me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They sayH559, If a manH376 put awayH7971 his wifeH802, and she goH1980 from him, and become anotherH312 man'sH376, shall he return unto her againH7725? shall not that landH776 be greatlyH2610 pollutedH2610? but thou hast played the harlotH2181 with manyH7227 loversH7453; yet return againH7725 to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {They say: Heb. Saying}
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200 whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693+H7901 with. In the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427 for them, as the ArabianH6163 in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610 the landH776 with thy whoredomsH2184 and with thy wickednessH7451.
Therefore the showersH7241 have been withholdenH4513, and there hath been no latter rainH4456; and thou hadst a whore'sH2181+H802 foreheadH4696, thou refusedstH3985 to be ashamedH3637.
Wilt thou not from this time cryH7121 unto me, My fatherH1, thou art the guideH441 of my youthH5271?
Will he reserveH5201 his anger for everH5769? will he keepH8104 it to the endH5331? Behold, thou hast spokenH1696 and doneH6213 evil thingsH7451 as thou couldestH3201.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she is gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.
And I saidH559 afterH310 she had doneH6213 all these things, TurnH7725 thou unto me. But she returnedH7725 not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. {lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663 herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898 JudahH3063.
GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769.
Only acknowledgeH3045 thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
TurnH7725, O backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; for I am marriedH1166 unto you: and I will takeH3947 you oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726:
And I will giveH5414 you pastorsH7462 according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multipliedH7235 and increasedH6509 in the landH776, in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, they shall sayH559 no more, The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068: neither shall it comeH5927 to mindH3820: neither shall they rememberH2142 it; neither shall they visitH6485 it; neither shall that be doneH6213 any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that…: or, it be magnified}
At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212 any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walkH3212 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I have given for an inheritanceH5157 unto your fathersH1. {with: or, to} {given…: or, caused your fathers to possess}
But I saidH559, How shall I putH7896 thee among the childrenH1121, and giveH5414 thee a pleasantH2532 landH776, a goodlyH6643 heritageH5159 of the hostsH6635 of nationsH1471? and I saidH559, Thou shalt callH7121 me, My fatherH1; and shalt not turn awayH7725 from meH310. {from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly…: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}
SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her husbandH7453, so have ye dealt treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {husband: Heb. friend}
A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
ReturnH7725, ye backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, and I will healH7495 your backslidingsH4878. Behold, we comeH857 unto thee; for thou art the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is salvation hoped for from the hillsH1389, and from the multitudeH1995 of mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478.
For shameH1322 hath devouredH398 the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323.
We lie downH7901 in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680 us: for we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominationsH8441,
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto JerusalemH3389; Thy birthH4351 and thy nativityH4138 is of the landH776 of CanaanH3669; thy fatherH1 was an AmoriteH567, and thy motherH517 an HittiteH2850. {birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation}
And as for thy nativityH4138, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navelH8270 was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to suppleH4935 thee; thou wast not saltedH4414 at allH4414, nor swaddledH2853 at allH2853. {to supple…: or, when I looked upon thee}
None eyeH5869 pitiedH2347 thee, to doH6213 anyH259 of these unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast outH7993 in the openH6440 fieldH7704, to the lothingH1604 of thy personH5315, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.
And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee pollutedH947 in thine own bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421. {polluted: or, trodden under foot}
I have causedH5414 thee to multiplyH7233 as the budH6780 of the fieldH7704, and thou hast increasedH7235 and waxen greatH1431, and thou art comeH935 to excellentH5716 ornamentsH5716: thy breastsH7699 are fashionedH3559, and thine hairH8181 is grownH6779, whereas thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {caused…: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent…: Heb. ornament of ornaments}
Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine.
Then washedH7364 I thee with waterH4325; yea, I throughly washed awayH7857 thy bloodH1818 from thee, and I anointedH5480 thee with oilH8081. {blood: Heb. bloods}
I clothedH3847 thee also with broidered workH7553, and shodH5274 thee with badgers' skinH8476, and I girdedH2280 thee about with fine linenH8336, and I coveredH3680 thee with silkH4897.
I deckedH5710 thee also with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627.
And I putH5414 a jewelH5141 on thy foreheadH639, and earringsH5694 in thine earsH241, and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 upon thine headH7218. {forehead: Heb. nose}
Thus wast thou deckedH5710 with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raimentH4403 was of fine linenH8336+H8336, and silkH4897, and broidered workH7553; thou didst eatH398 fine flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081: and thou wast exceedingH3966 beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 into a kingdomH4410.
And thy renownH8034 went forthH3318 among the heathenH1471 for thy beautyH3308: for it was perfectH3632 through my comelinessH1926, which I had putH7760 upon thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
But thou didst trustH982 in thine own beautyH3308, and playedst the harlotH2181 because of thy renownH8034, and pouredst outH8210 thy fornicationsH8457 on every one that passed byH5674; his it was.
And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and deckedstH6213 thy high placesH1116 with divers coloursH2921, and playedst the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so.
Thou hast also takenH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madestH6213 to thyself imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst commit whoredomH2181 with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookestH3947 thy broideredH7553 garmentsH899, and coveredstH3680 them: and thou hast setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
My meatH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fine flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou hast even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and thus it was, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest}
Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Is this of thy whoredomsH8457 a small matterH4592, {to be…: Heb. to devour}
That thou hast slainH7819 my childrenH1121, and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to pass throughH5674 the fire for them?
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
And it came to pass afterH310 all thy wickednessH7451, (woeH188, woeH188 unto thee! saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069;)
That thou hast also builtH1129 unto thee an eminent placeH1354, and hast madeH6213 thee an high placeH7413 in every streetH7339. {eminent…: or, brothel house}
Thou hast builtH1129 thy high placeH7413 at every headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast made thy beautyH3308 to be abhorredH8581, and hast openedH6589 thy feetH7272 to every one that passed byH5674, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457.
Thou hast also committed fornicationH2181 with the EgyptiansH1121+H4714 thy neighboursH7934, greatH1432 of fleshH1320; and hast increasedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457, to provoke me to angerH3707.
Behold, therefore I have stretched outH5186 my handH3027 over thee, and have diminishedH1639 thine ordinaryH2706 food, and deliveredH5414 thee unto the willH5315 of them that hateH8130 thee, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which are ashamedH3637 of thy lewdH2154 wayH1870. {daughters: or, cities}
Thou hast played the whoreH2181 also with the AssyriansH1121+H804, becauseH1115 thou wast unsatiableH7646; yea, thou hast played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfiedH7654.
Thou hast moreover multipliedH7235 thy fornicationH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto ChaldeaH3778; and yet thou wast not satisfiedH7646 herewithH2063.
How weakH535 is thine heartH3826, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, seeing thou doestH6213 all these things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 whorishH2181 womanH802;
In that thou buildestH1129 thine eminent placeH1354 in the headH7218 of every wayH1870, and makestH6213 thine high placeH7413 in every streetH7339; and hast not been as an harlotH2181, in that thou scornestH7046 hireH868; {In that thou buildest…: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}
But as a wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003, which takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376!
They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to all whoresH2181: but thou givestH5414 thy giftsH5083 to all thy loversH157, and hirestH7809 them, that they may comeH935 unto thee on every sideH5439 for thy whoredomH8457. {hirest: Heb. bribest}
And the contraryH2016 is in thee from other womenH802 in thy whoredomsH8457, whereas none followethH310 thee to commit whoredomsH2181: and in that thou givestH5414 a rewardH868, and no rewardH868 is givenH5414 unto thee, therefore thou artH1961 contraryH2016.
Wherefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thy filthinessH5178 was poured outH8210, and thy nakednessH6172 discoveredH1540 through thy whoredomsH8457 with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thy abominationsH8441, and by the bloodH1818 of thy childrenH1121, which thou didst giveH5414 unto them;
Behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157, with whom thou hast taken pleasureH6149, and all them that thou hast lovedH157, with all them that thou hast hatedH8130; I will even gatherH6908 them round aboutH5439 against thee, and will discoverH1540 thy nakednessH6172 unto them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172.
And I will judgeH8199 thee, as women that break wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will giveH5414 thee bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousyH7068. {as: Heb. with judgments of}
And I will also giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw downH2040 thine eminent placeH1354, and shall break downH5422 thy high placesH7413: they shall stripH6584 thee also of thy clothesH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627, and leaveH3240 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {thy fair…: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
They shall also bring upH5927 a companyH6951 against thee, and they shall stoneH7275 thee with stonesH68, and thrust thee throughH1333 with their swordsH2719.
And they shall burnH8313 thine housesH1004 with fireH784, and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon thee in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802: and I will cause thee to ceaseH7673 from playing the harlotH2181, and thou also shalt giveH5414 no hireH868 any more.
So will I make my furyH2534 toward thee to restH5117, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee, and I will be quietH8252, and will be no more angryH3707.
Because thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, but hast frettedH7264 me in all these things; beholdH1887, therefore I also will recompenseH5414 thy wayH1870 upon thine headH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and thou shalt not commitH6213 this lewdnessH2154 above all thine abominationsH8441.
Behold, every one that useth proverbsH4911 shall use this proverbH4911 against thee, sayingH559, As is the motherH517, so is her daughterH1323.
Thou art thy mother'sH517 daughterH1323, that lothethH1602 her husbandH376 and her childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, which lothedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.
And thine elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 at thy left handH8040: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwellethH3427 at thy right handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323. {thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592+H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870. {as if…: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not doneH6213, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323.
Behold, this was the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467, prideH1347, fulnessH7653 of breadH3899, and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 was in her and in her daughtersH1323, neither did she strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
And they were haughtyH1361, and committedH6213 abominationH8441 beforeH6440 me: therefore I took them awayH5493 as I sawH7200 good.
Neither hath SamariaH8111 committedH2398 halfH2677 of thy sinsH2403; but thou hast multipliedH7235 thine abominationsH8441 more than theyH2007, and hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269 in all thine abominationsH8441 which thou hast doneH6213.
Thou also, which hast judgedH6419 thy sistersH269, bearH5375 thine own shameH3639 for thy sinsH2403 that thou hast committed more abominableH8581 than theyH2004: they are more righteousH6663 than thou: yea, be thou confoundedH954 also, and bearH5375 thy shameH3639, in that thou hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269.
When I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622+H7622, the captivityH7622+H7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622+H7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, then will I bring again the captivityH7622+H7622 of thy captivesH7622 in the midstH8432 of them:
That thou mayest bearH5375 thine own shameH3639, and mayest be confoundedH3637 in all that thou hast doneH6213, in that thou art a comfortH5162 unto them.
When thy sistersH269, SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, shall returnH7725 to their former estateH6927, and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their former estateH6927, then thou and thy daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to your former estateH6927.
For thy sisterH269 SodomH5467 was not mentionedH8052 by thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of thy prideH1347, {mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing} {pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies}
Before thy wickednessH7451 was discoveredH1540, as at the timeH6256 of thy reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of SyriaH758, and all that are round aboutH5439 her, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which despiseH7590 thee round aboutH5439. {Syria: Heb. Aram} {despise: or, spoil}
Thou hast borneH5375 thy lewdnessH2154 and thine abominationsH8441, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {borne: Heb. borne them}
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even dealH6213 with thee as thou hast doneH6213, which hast despisedH959 the oathH423 in breakingH6565 the covenantH1285.
Nevertheless I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with thee in the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, and I will establishH6965 unto thee an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Then thou shalt rememberH2142 thy waysH1870, and be ashamedH3637, when thou shalt receiveH3947 thy sistersH269, thine elderH1419 and thy youngerH6996: and I will giveH5414 them unto thee for daughtersH1323, but not by thy covenantH1285.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068:
That thou mayest rememberH2142, and be confoundedH954, and never openH6610 thy mouthH6310 any more becauseH6440 of thy shameH3639, when I am pacifiedH3722 toward thee for all that thou hast doneH6213, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
WoeH1945 to her that is filthyH4754 and pollutedH1351, to the oppressingH3238 cityH5892! {her…: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw}
She obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963; she receivedH3947 not correctionH4148; she trustedH982 not in the LORDH3068; she drew not nearH7126 to her GodH430. {correction: or, instruction}
Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they gnaw not the bonesH1633 till the morrowH1242.
Her prophetsH5030 are lightH6348 and treacherousH900 personsH582: her priestsH3548 have pollutedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they have done violenceH2554 to the lawH8451.
The justH6662 LORDH3068 is in the midstH7130 thereof; he will not doH6213 iniquityH5766: everyH1242 morningH1242 doth he bringH5414 his judgmentH4941 to lightH216, he failethH5737 not; but the unjustH5767 knowethH3045 no shameH1322. {every…: Heb. morning by morning}
I have cut offH3772 the nationsH1471: their towersH6438 are desolateH8074; I made their streetsH2351 wasteH2717, that none passeth byH5674: their citiesH5892 are destroyedH6658, so that there is no manH376, that there is none inhabitantH3427. {towers: or, corners}
I saidH559, Surely thou wilt fearH3372 me, thou wilt receiveH3947 instructionH4148; so their dwellingH4583 should not be cut offH3772, howsoeverH834+H3605 I punishedH6485 them: butH403 they rose earlyH7925, and corruptedH7843 all their doingsH5949.
Therefore waitH2442 ye upon me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, until the dayH3117 that I rise upH6965 to the preyH5706: for my determinationH4941 is to gatherH622 the nationsH1471, that I may assembleH6908 the kingdomsH4467, to pourH8210 upon them mine indignationH2195, even all my fierceH2740 angerH639: for all the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068.
For then will I turnH2015 to the peopleH5971 a pureH1305 languageH8193, that they may all callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 him with oneH259 consentH7926. {language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder}
From beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568 my suppliantsH6282, even the daughterH1323 of my dispersedH6327, shall bringH2986 mine offeringH4503.
In that dayH3117 shalt thou not be ashamedH954 for all thy doingsH5949, wherein thou hast transgressedH6586 against me: for then I will take awayH5493 out of the midstH7130 of thee them that rejoiceH5947 in thy prideH1346, and thou shalt no moreH3254 be haughtyH1361 because of my holyH6944 mountainH2022. {because…: Heb. in my holy}
I will also leaveH7604 in the midstH7130 of thee an afflictedH6041 and poorH1800 peopleH5971, and they shall trustH2620 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 shall not doH6213 iniquityH5766, nor speakH1696 liesH3577; neither shall a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 be foundH4672 in their mouthH6310: for they shall feedH7462 and lie downH7257, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
SingH7442, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O IsraelH3478; be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5937 with all the heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 hath taken awayH5493 thy judgmentsH4941, he hath cast outH6437 thine enemyH341: the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, even the LORDH3068, is in the midstH7130 of thee: thou shalt not seeH7200 evilH7451 any more.
In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559 to JerusalemH3389, FearH3372 thou not: and to ZionH6726, Let not thine handsH3027 be slackH7503. {slack: or, faint}
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the midstH7130 of thee is mightyH1368; he will saveH3467, he will rejoiceH7797 over thee with joyH8057; he will restH2790 in his loveH160, he will joyH1523 over thee with singingH7440. {rest: Heb. be silent}
I will gatherH622 them that are sorrowfulH3013 for the solemn assemblyH4150, who are of thee, to whom the reproachH2781 of it was a burdenH4864. {reproach…: Heb. the burden upon it was reproach}
Behold, at that timeH6256 I will undoH6213 all that afflictH6031 thee: and I will saveH3467 her that haltethH6760, and gatherH6908 her that was driven outH5080; and I will getH7760 them praiseH8416 and fameH8034 in every landH776 where they have been put to shameH1322. {get…: Heb. set them for a praise} {where…: Heb. of their shame}
At that timeH6256 will I bringH935 you again, even in the timeH6256 that I gatherH6908 you: for I will makeH5414 you a nameH8034 and a praiseH8416 among all peopleH5971 of the earthH776, when I turn backH7725 your captivityH7622 before your eyesH5869, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
OG5599 foolishG453 GalatiansG1052, whoG5101 hath bewitchedG940 youG5209, that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG225, beforeG2596 whoseG3739 eyesG3788 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath been evidently set forthG4270, crucifiedG4717 amongG1722 youG5213?
ThisG5124 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG5216, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Are yeG2075 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561?
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
He thereforeG3767 that ministerethG2023 to youG5213 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 workethG1754 miraclesG1411 amongG1722 youG5213, doeth he it byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Even asG2531 AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was accountedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343. {accounted: or, imputed}
Know yeG1097 thereforeG686 thatG3754 they which are ofG1537 faithG4102, the sameG3778 areG1526 the childrenG5207 of AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 the scriptureG1124, foreseeingG4275 thatG3754 GodG2316 would justifyG1344 the heathenG1484 throughG1537 faithG4102, preached before the gospelG4283 unto AbrahamG11, saying,G3754 InG1722 theeG4671 shallG1757 allG3956 nationsG1484 be blessedG1757.
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.
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:
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
BrethrenG80, I speakG3004 after the manner ofG2596 menG444; Though it be butG3676 a man'sG444 covenantG1242, yet if it be confirmedG2964, no manG3762 disannullethG114, orG2228 addeth theretoG1928. {covenant: or, testament}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 couldG1410 have given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG1343 shouldG302 have beenG2258 byG1537 the lawG3551.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 after that faithG4102 is comeG2064, we areG2070 no longerG2089+G3765 underG5259 a schoolmasterG3807.
ForG1063 ye areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316 byG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 as many of you asG3745 have been baptizedG907 intoG1519 ChristG5547 have put onG1746 ChristG5547.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 ifG1487 yeG5210 be Christ'sG5547, thenG686 are yeG2075 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the promiseG1860.
NowG1161 I sayG3004, That the heirG2818, as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he isG2076 a childG3516, differethG1308 nothingG3762 from a servantG1401, though he beG5607 lordG2962 of allG3956;
ButG235 isG2076 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG4287 of the fatherG3962.
EvenG2532 soG3779 weG2249, whenG3753 we wereG2258 childrenG3516, wereG2258 in bondageG1402 underG5259 the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889: {elements: or, rudiments}
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
ToG2443 redeemG1805 them that were underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 the adoption of sonsG5206.
AndG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG2075 sonsG5207, GodG2316 hath sent forthG1821 the SpiritG4151 of hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, cryingG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
WhereforeG5620 thou artG1488 no moreG3765 a servantG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 of GodG2316 throughG1223 ChristG5547.
HowbeitG235 thenG5119+G3303, when ye knewG1492 notG3756 GodG2316, ye did serviceG1398 unto them which by natureG5449 areG5607 noG3361 godsG2316.
ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825+G509 to be in bondageG1398? {turn ye again: or, turn ye back} {elements: or, rudiments}
Ye observeG3906 daysG2250, andG2532 monthsG3376, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 yearsG1763.
I am afraidG5399 of youG5209, lestG3381+G4458 I have bestowedG2872 uponG1519 youG5209 labourG2872 in vainG1500.
BrethrenG80, I beseechG1189 youG5216, beG1096 asG5613 IG1473 am; forG3754 IG2504 am asG5613 yeG5210 are: ye have not injuredG91 meG3165 at allG3762.
Ye knowG1492 howG3754 throughG1223 infirmityG769 of the fleshG4561 I preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5213 at the firstG4386.
AndG2532 myG3450 temptationG3986 which was inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 ye despisedG1848 notG3756, norG3761 rejectedG1609; butG235 receivedG1209 meG3165 asG5613 an angelG32 of GodG2316, even asG5613 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
WhereG5101 isG2258 thenG3767 the blessednessG3108 yeG5216 spake of? forG1063 I bearG3140 youG5213 recordG3140, thatG3754, ifG1487 it had been possibleG1415, ye would have plucked outG1846 yourG5216 own eyesG3788, and have given themG302+G1325 to meG3427. {Where…: or, What was then}
Am IG1096 thereforeG5620 becomeG1096 yourG5216 enemyG2190, because I tellG226 youG5213 the truthG226?
They zealously affectG2206 youG5209, but notG3756 wellG2573; yeaG235, they wouldG2309 excludeG1576 youG5209, thatG2443 ye might affectG2206 themG846. {exclude you: or, exclude us}
ButG1161 it is goodG2570 to be zealously affectedG2206 alwaysG3842 inG1722 a goodG2570 thing, andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 whenG1722 IG3165 am presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, of whomG3739 I travail in birthG5605 againG3825 untilG891+G3739 ChristG5547 be formedG3445 inG1722 youG5213,
I desireG2309 to be presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209 nowG737, andG2532 to changeG236 myG3450 voiceG5456; forG3754 I stand in doubtG639 ofG1722 youG5213. {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you} {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you}
TellG3004 meG3427, ye that desireG2309 to beG1511 underG5259 the lawG3551, do yeG191 notG3756 hearG191 the lawG3551?
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860.
Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391+G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 AgarG28. {covenants: or, testaments} {Sinai: Gr. Sina}
ForG1063 this AgarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. {answereth to: or, is in the same rank with}
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123+G2228 she which hathG2192 an husbandG435.
NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG2070 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
