King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
Wherefore should I fearH3372 in the daysH3117 of evilH7451, when the iniquityH5771 of my heelsH6120 shall compassH5437 me about?
They that trustH982 in their wealthH2428, and boastH1984 themselves in the multitudeH7230 of their richesH6239;
None of them canH376 by any meansH6299 redeemH6299 his brotherH251, nor giveH5414 to GodH430 a ransomH3724 for him:
(For the redemptionH6306 of their soulH5315 is preciousH3365, and it ceasethH2308 for everH5769:)
That he should still liveH2421 for everH5331, and not seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
For he seethH7200 that wise menH2450 dieH4191, likewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the brutish personH1198 perishH6, and leaveH5800 their wealthH2428 to othersH312.
Their inwardH7130 thought is, that their housesH1004 shall continue for everH5769, and their dwellingH4908 places to allH1755 generationsH1755; they callH7121 their landsH127 after their own namesH8034. {all…: Heb. generation and generation}
Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885 not: he is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
This their wayH1870 is their follyH3689: yet their posterityH310 approveH7521 their sayingsH6310. SelahH5542. {approve…: Heb. delight in their mouth}
Like sheepH6629 they are laidH8371 in the graveH7585; deathH4194 shall feedH7462 on them; and the uprightH3477 shall have dominionH7287 over them in the morningH1242; and their beautyH6697+H6736 shall consumeH1086 in the graveH7585 from their dwellingH2073. {beauty: or, strength} {in the grave from…: or, the grave being an habitation to every one of them}
But GodH430 will redeemH6299 my soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585: for he shall receiveH3947 me. SelahH5542. {power: Heb. hand} {the grave: or, hell}
Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.
ForG1063 the sunG2246 is no sooner risenG393 withG4862 a burning heatG2742, butG2532 it witherethG3583 the grassG5528, andG2532 the flowerG438 thereofG846 fallethG1601, andG2532 the graceG2143 of the fashionG4383 of itG846 perishethG622: soG3779 alsoG2532 shallG3133 the rich manG4145 fade awayG3133 inG1722 hisG846 waysG4197.
No manG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756+G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 inG1722 thisG3568 worldG165, that they beG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, norG3366 trustG1679 inG1909 uncertainG83 richesG4149, butG235 inG1722 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3588 givethG3930 usG2254 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoyG619; {uncertain…: Gr. uncertainty of riches}
TreasuresH214 of wickednessH7562 profitH3276 nothing: but righteousnessH6666 deliverethH5337 from deathH4194.
Go toG33 nowG3568, ye rich menG4145, weepG2799 and howlG3649 forG1909 yourG5216 miseriesG5004 that shall come uponG1904 you.
YourG5216 richesG4149 are corruptedG4595, andG2532 yourG5216 garmentsG2440 areG1096 motheatenG4598.
YourG5216 goldG5557 andG2532 silverG696 is cankeredG2728; andG2532 the rustG2447 of themG846 shall beG2071 a witnessG3142 againstG1519 youG5213, andG2532 shall eatG5315 yourG5216 fleshG4561 as it wereG5613 fireG4442. Ye have heaped treasure togetherG2343 forG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250.
BeholdG2400, the hireG3408 of the labourersG2040 whoG3588 have reaped downG270 yourG5216 fieldsG5561, whichG3588 is ofG575 youG5216 kept back by fraudG650, criethG2896: andG2532 the criesG995 of them which have reapedG2325 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 the earsG3775 of the LordG2962 of sabaothG4519.
Ye have lived in pleasureG5171 onG1909 the earthG1093, andG2532 been wantonG4684; ye have nourishedG5142 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967.
Ye have condemnedG2613 and killedG5407 the justG1342; and he dothG498 notG3756 resistG498 youG5213.
And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633. {mammon: or, riches}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye be come overH5674 JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667;
Then ye shall appointH7136 you citiesH5892 to be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you; that the slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither, which killethH5221 any personH5315 at unawaresH7684. {at…: Heb. by error}
And they shall be unto you citiesH5892 for refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350; that the manslayerH7523 dieH4191 not, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 in judgmentH4941.
And of these citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall ye have for refugeH4733.
Ye shall giveH5414 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, and threeH7969 citiesH5892 shall ye giveH5414 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which shall be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733.
These sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall be a refugeH4733, both for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616, and for the sojournerH8453 amongH8432 them: that every one that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 may fleeH5127 thither.
And if he smiteH5221 him with an instrumentH3627 of ironH1270, so that he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And if he smiteH5221 him with throwingH3027 a stoneH68, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {with…: Heb. with a stone of the hand}
Or if he smiteH5221 him with an handH3027 weaponH3627 of woodH6086, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
The revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying of waitH6660, that he dieH4191;
Or in enmityH342 smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him.
ForG1063 whatG5101 shall it profitG5623 a manG444, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG2532 loseG2210 his ownG846 soulG5590?
OrG2228 whatG5101 shallG1325 a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for hisG846 soulG5590?
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
I will ransomH6299 them from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585; I will redeemH1350 them from deathH4194: O deathH4194, I willH165 be thy plaguesH1698; O graveH7585, I willH165 be thy destructionH6987: repentanceH5164 shall be hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869. {power: Heb. hand}
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
And CainH7014 knewH3045 his wifeH802; and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 EnochH2585: and he buildedH1129 a cityH5892, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892, after the nameH8034 of his sonH1121, EnochH2585. {Enoch: Heb. Chanoch}
In the sweatH2188 of thy faceH639 shalt thou eatH398 breadH3899, tillH5704 thou returnH7725 unto the groundH127; for out of it wast thou takenH3947: for dustH6083 thouH859 art, and unto dustH6083 shalt thou returnH7725.
AllH3606 this cameH4291 uponH5922 the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020.
At the endH7118 of twelveH8648+H6236 monthsH3393 he walkedH1934+H1981 inH5922 the palaceH1965 of the kingdomH4437 of BabylonH895. {in: or, upon}
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
WhileH5751 the wordH4406 was in the king'sH4430 mouthH6433, there fellH5308 a voiceH7032 fromH4481 heavenH8065, saying, O kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, to thee it is spokenH560; The kingdomH4437 is departedH5709 fromH4481 thee.
And they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251: they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, untilH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
The same hourH8160 was the thingH4406 fulfilledH5487 uponH5922 NebuchadnezzarH5020: and he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 menH606, and did eatH399 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, tillH5705 his hairsH8177 were grownH7236 like eagles'H5403 feathers, and his nailsH2953 like birds'H6853 claws.
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
For that which befallethH4745 the sonsH1121 of menH120 befallethH4745 beastsH929; even one thingH259 befallethH4745 them: as the one diethH4194, so diethH4194 the otherH2088; yea, they have all oneH259 breathH7307; so that a manH120 hath no preeminenceH4195 above a beastH929: for all is vanityH1892.
All goH1980 unto oneH259 placeH4725; all are of the dustH6083, and all turnH7725 to dustH6083 againH7725.
Who knowethH3045 the spiritH7307 of manH1121+H120 that goethH5927 upwardH4605, and the spiritH7307 of the beastH929 that goethH3381 downwardH4295 to the earthH776? {of man: Heb. of the sons of man} {goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc}
MarvelG2296 notG3361 at thisG5124: forG3754 the hourG5610 is comingG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 allG3956 that are inG1722 the gravesG3419 shall hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456,
AndG2532 shall come forthG1607; they that have doneG4160 goodG18, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222; andG1161 they that have doneG4238 evilG5337, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of damnationG2920.
And manyH7227 of them that sleepH3463 in the dustH6083 of the earthH127 shall awakeH6974, some to everlastingH5769 lifeH2416, and some to shameH2781 and everlastingH5769 contemptH1860.
He maketh me to lie downH7257 in greenH1877 pasturesH4999: he leadethH5095 me beside the stillH4496 watersH4325. {green…: Heb. pastures of tender grass} {still…: Heb. waters of quietness}
Thy deadH4191 men shall liveH2421, together with my dead bodyH5038 shall they ariseH6965. AwakeH6974 and singH7442, ye that dwellH7931 in dustH6083: for thy dewH2919 is as the dewH2919 of herbsH219, and the earthH776 shall cast outH5307 the deadH7496.
ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 receivedstG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568+G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600.
My fleshH1320 and my skinH5785 hath he made oldH1086; he hath brokenH7665 my bonesH6106.
Even asG5618 the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 notG3756 to be ministered untoG1247, butG235 to ministerG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 hisG846 lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.
And EnochH2585 walkedH1980 with GodH430: and he was not; for GodH430 tookH3947 him.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he answeredH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}
