King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
All things have I seenH7200 in the daysH3117 of my vanityH1892: there isH3426 a justH6662 man that perishethH6 in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 man that prolongethH748 his life in his wickednessH7451.
Be not righteousH6662 over muchH7235; neither make thyself overH3148 wiseH2449: why shouldest thou destroyH8074 thyself? {destroy…: Heb. be desolate?}
Be not over muchH7235 wickedH7561, neither be thou foolishH5530: why shouldest thou dieH4191 before thy timeH6256? {before…: Heb. not in thy time?}
It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest take holdH270 of this; yea, also from thisH2088 withdrawH3240 not thine handH3027: for he that fearethH3373 GodH430 shall come forthH3318 of them all.
Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, become oldH6275, yea, are mightyH1396 in powerH2428?
But as for me, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH5186+H5186; my stepsH838 had well nighH369 slippedH8210.
For I was enviousH7065 at the foolishH1984, when I sawH7200 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.
For there are no bandsH2784 in their deathH4194: but their strengthH193 is firmH1277. {firm: Heb. fat}
They are not in troubleH5999 as other menH582; neither are they plaguedH5060 likeH5973 other menH120. {in…: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}
Therefore prideH1346 compasseth them about as a chainH6059; violenceH2555 coverethH5848 them as a garmentH7897.
Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318 with fatnessH2459: they have moreH5674 than heartH3824 could wishH4906. {have…: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}
They are corruptH4167, and speakH1696 wickedlyH7451 concerning oppressionH6233: they speakH1696 loftilyH4791.
They setH8371 their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980 through the earthH776.
Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725+H7725 hitherH1988: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 to them.
And they sayH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the most HighH5945?
Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685 in richesH2428.
Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356.
For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. {chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898 against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121.
When I thoughtH2803 to knowH3045 this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869; {too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes}
Therefore the lawH8451 is slackedH6313, and judgmentH4941 doth neverH5331 go forthH3318: for the wickedH7563 doth compassH3803 about the righteousH6662; therefore wrongH6127 judgmentH4941 proceedethH3318. {wrong: or, wrested}
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had a vineyardH3754, which was in JezreelH3157, hard byH681 the palaceH1964 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 spakeH1696 unto NabothH5022, sayingH559, GiveH5414 me thy vineyardH3754, that I may have it for a gardenH1588 of herbsH3419, because it is nearH7138 untoH681 my houseH1004: and I will giveH5414 thee for it a betterH2896 vineyardH3754 than it; or, if it seem goodH2896 to theeH5869, I will giveH5414 thee the worthH4242 of it in moneyH3701. {seem…: Heb. be good in thine eyes}
And NabothH5022 saidH559 to AhabH256, The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 it me, that I should giveH5414 the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1 unto thee.
And AhabH256 cameH935 into his houseH1004 heavyH5620 and displeasedH2198 because of the wordH1697 which NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had spokenH1696 to him: for he had saidH559, I will not giveH5414 thee the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1. And he laid him downH7901 upon his bedH4296, and turned awayH5437 his faceH6440, and would eatH398 no breadH3899.
But JezebelH348 his wifeH802 cameH935 to him, and saidH1696 unto him, Why is thy spiritH7307 so sadH5620, that thou eatestH398 no breadH3899?
And he saidH1696 unto her, Because I spakeH1696 unto NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, and saidH559 unto him, GiveH5414 me thy vineyardH3754 for moneyH3701; or else, if it pleaseH2655 thee, I will giveH5414 thee another vineyardH3754 for it: and he answeredH559, I will not giveH5414 thee my vineyardH3754.
And JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 unto him, Dost thou now governH6213 the kingdomH4410 of IsraelH3478? ariseH6965, and eatH398 breadH3899, and let thine heartH3820 be merryH3190: I will giveH5414 thee the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.
So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab'sH256 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 unto the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 that were in his cityH5892, dwellingH3427 with NabothH5022.
And she wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971: {on high…: Heb. in the top of the people}
And setH3427 twoH8147 menH582, sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, before him, to bear witnessH5749 against him, sayingH559, Thou didst blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carry him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he may dieH4191.
And the menH582 of his cityH5892, even the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 who were the inhabitantsH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 unto them, and as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 which she had sentH7971 unto them.
They proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971.
And there cameH935 in twoH8147 menH582, childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and satH3427 before him: and the menH582 of BelialH1100 witnessedH5749 against him, even against NabothH5022, in the presence of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, NabothH5022 did blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. Then they carried him forthH3318 outH2351 of the cityH5892, and stonedH5619 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191.
Then they sentH7971 to JezebelH348, sayingH559, NabothH5022 is stonedH5619, and is deadH4191.
And it came to pass, when JezebelH348 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was stonedH5619, and was deadH4191, that JezebelH348 saidH559 to AhabH256, AriseH6965, take possessionH3423 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, which he refusedH3985 to giveH5414 thee for moneyH3701: for NabothH5022 is not aliveH2416, but deadH4191.
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was deadH4191, that AhabH256 rose upH6965 to go downH3381 to the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, to take possessionH3423 of it.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, go downH3381 to meetH7125 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which is in SamariaH8111: behold, he is in the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022, whither he is gone downH3381 to possessH3423 it.
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou killedH7523, and also taken possessionH3423? And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In the placeH4725 where dogsH3611 lickedH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 shall dogsH3611 lickH3952 thy bloodH1818, even thine.
And AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Hast thou foundH4672 me, O mine enemyH341? And he answeredH559, I have foundH4672 thee: because thou hast soldH4376 thyself to workH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon thee, and will take awayH1197 thy posterityH310, and will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478,
And will makeH5414 thine houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, for the provocationH3708 wherewith thou hast provoked me to angerH3707, and made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And of JezebelH348 also spakeH1696 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 by the wallH2426 of JezreelH3157. {wall: or, ditch}
Him that diethH4191 of AhabH256 in the cityH5892 the dogsH3611 shall eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398.
But there was none like unto AhabH256, which did sellH4376 himself to workH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, whom JezebelH348 his wifeH802 stirred upH5496. {stirred…: or, incited}
And he did veryH3966 abominablyH8581 in followingH3212+H310 idolsH1544, according to all things as didH6213 the AmoritesH567, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And AdamH120 knewH3045+H853 EveH2332 his wifeH802; and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205+H853 CainH7014, and saidH559, I have gottenH7069 a manH376 fromH854 the LORDH3068. {Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired}
And she againH3254 bareH3205 his brotherH251 AbelH1893. And AbelH1893 was a keeperH7462 of sheepH6629, but CainH7014 was a tillerH5647 of the groundH127. {Abel: Heb. Hebel} {a keeper: Heb. a feeder}
And in processH7093 of timeH3117 it came to pass, that CainH7014 broughtH935 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127 an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068. {in process…: Heb. at the end of days}
And AbelH1893, heH1931 also broughtH935 of the firstlingsH1062 of his flockH6629 and of the fatH2459 thereof. And the LORDH3068 had respectH8159 unto AbelH1893 and to his offeringH4503: {flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats}
But unto CainH7014 and to his offeringH4503 he had not respectH8159. And CainH7014 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and his countenanceH6440 fellH5307.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto CainH7014, Why art thou wrothH2734? and why is thy countenanceH6440 fallenH5307?
IfH518 thou doest wellH3190, shalt thou not be acceptedH7613? and if thou doest not wellH3190, sinH2403 liethH7257 at the doorH6607. And unto thee shall be his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over him. {be accepted: or, have the excellency} {unto…: or, subject unto thee}
And CainH7014 talkedH559 withH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251: and it came to pass, when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 rose upH6965 againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slew himH2026.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto CainH7014, WhereH335 is AbelH1893 thy brotherH251? And he saidH559, I knowH3045 not: Am I my brother'sH251 keeperH8104?
And he saidH559, WhatH4100 hast thou doneH6213? the voiceH6963 of thy brother'sH251 bloodH1818 criethH6817 unto me from the groundH127. {blood: Heb. bloods}
And now art thou cursedH779 from the earthH127, which hath openedH6475 her mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother'sH251 bloodH1818 from thy handH3027;
WhenH3588 thou tillestH5647 the groundH127, it shall not henceforthH3254 yieldH5414 unto thee her strengthH3581; a fugitiveH5128 and a vagabondH5110 shalt thou be in the earthH776.
And CainH7014 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, My punishmentH5771 is greaterH1419 than I can bearH5375. {My…: or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven}
Behold, thou hast driven me outH1644 this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; and fromH5921 thy faceH6440 shall I be hidH5641; and I shall be a fugitiveH5128 and a vagabondH5110 in the earthH776; and it shall come to passH1961, that every one that findeth meH4672 shall slay meH2026.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, ThereforeH3651 whosoever slayethH2026 CainH7014, vengeance shall be takenH5358 on him sevenfoldH7659. And the LORDH3068 setH7760 a markH226 upon CainH7014, lestH1115 any findingH4672 him should killH5221 him.
And CainH7014 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of NodH5113, on the eastH6926 of EdenH5731.
Even soG3779 yeG5210 alsoG2532+G3303 outwardlyG1855 appearG5316 righteousG1342 unto menG444, butG1161 withinG2081 ye areG2075 fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 andG2532 iniquityG458.
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 exceptG3362 yourG5216 righteousnessG1343 shall exceedG4052+G4119 the righteousness of the scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, ye shall in no caseG3364 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
And they tookH3947 every manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 in them, and laidH7760 incenseH7004 thereon, and stoodH5975 in the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 with MosesH4872 and AaronH175.
And JonadabH3082 saidH559 unto him, Lay thee downH7901 on thy bedH4904, and make thyself sickH2470: and when thy fatherH1 comethH935 to seeH7200 thee, sayH559 unto him, I pray thee, let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, and giveH1262 me meatH3899, and dressH6213 the meatH1279 in my sightH5869, that I may seeH7200 it, and eatH398 it at her handH3027.
AndG2532 greetingsG783 inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 to be calledG2564 ofG5259 menG444, RabbiG4461, RabbiG4461.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 one toward anotherG1519+G240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. {condescend…: or, be contented with mean things}
AndG1161 these thingsG5023, brethrenG80, I have in a figure transferredG3345 toG1519 myselfG1683 andG2532 to ApollosG625 forG1223 your sakesG5209; thatG2443 ye might learnG3129 inG1722 usG2254 notG3361 to thinkG5426 of men aboveG5228 thatG2443 whichG3739 is writtenG1125, that noG3363 oneG1520 of you be puffed upG5448 forG5228 oneG1520 againstG2596 anotherG2087.
SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 are with thee, thou hast appointedH6213 his boundsH2706 that he cannot passH5674;
WhichG1537+G5101 of youG5216 by taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 oneG1520 cubitG4083 untoG1909 hisG846 statureG2244?
But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee. {bloody…: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall…: Heb. shall not half their days}
Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869: fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451.
