King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
A divine sentenceH7081 is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 transgressethH4603 not in judgmentH4941. {A divine…: Heb. Divination}
A justH4941 weightH6425 and balanceH3976 are the LORD'SH3068: all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639. {the weights: Heb. the stones}
It is an abominationH8441 to kingsH4428 to commitH6213 wickednessH7562: for the throneH3678 is establishedH3559 by righteousnessH6666.
RighteousH6664 lipsH8193 are the delightH7522 of kingsH4428; and they loveH157 him that speakethH1696 rightH3477.
The wrathH2534 of a kingH4428 is as messengersH4397 of deathH4194: but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacifyH3722 it.
In the lightH216 of the king'sH4428 countenanceH6440 is lifeH2416; and his favourH7522 is as a cloudH5645 of the latter rainH4456.
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
Whosoever thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the powerG1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
WhereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3782: tributeG5411 to whomG3588 tributeG5411 is due; customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honourG5092 to whomG3588 honourG5092.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
AndG2532 hath madeG4160 usG2248 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409 unto GodG2316 andG2532 hisG846 FatherG3962; to himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
JustH6664 balancesH3976, justH6664 weightsH68, a justH6664 ephahH374, and a justH6664 hinH1969, shall ye have: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {weights: Heb. stones}
Thou shalt not have in thy bagH3599 divers weightsH68+H68, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. {divers…: Heb. a stone and a stone}
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}
Shall I count them pureH2135 with the wickedH7562 balancesH3976, and with the bagH3599 of deceitfulH4820 weightsH68? {count…: or, be pure with, etc}
Give ye earH238, and hearH8085 my voiceH6963; hearkenH7181, and hearH8085 my speechH565.
Doth the plowmanH2790 plowH2790 all dayH3117 to sowH2232? doth he openH6605 and break the clodsH7702 of his groundH127?
When he hath made plainH7737 the faceH6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroadH6327 the fitchesH7100, and scatterH2236 the cumminH3646, and castH7760 in the principalH7795 wheatH2406 and the appointedH5567 barleyH8184 and the rieH3698 in their placeH1367? {the principal…: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}
For his GodH430 doth instructH3256 him to discretionH4941, and doth teachH3384 him. {For…: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}
For the fitchesH7100 are not threshedH1758 with a threshing instrumentH2742, neither is a cartH5699 wheelH212 turned aboutH5437 upon the cumminH3646; but the fitchesH7100 are beaten outH2251 with a staffH4294, and the cumminH3646 with a rodH7626.
BreadH3899 corn is bruisedH1854; because he will not everH5331 be threshingH156+H1758 it, nor breakH2000 it with the wheelH1536 of his cartH5699, nor bruiseH1854 it with his horsemenH6571.
This also cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which is wonderfulH6381 in counselH6098, and excellentH1431 in workingH8454.
Thy throneH3678, O GodH430, is for everH5769 and everH5703: the sceptreH7626 of thy kingdomH4438 is a rightH4334 sceptreH7626.
Thou lovestH157 righteousnessH6664, and hatestH8130 wickednessH7562: therefore GodH430, thy GodH430, hath anointedH4886 thee with the oilH8081 of gladnessH8342 above thy fellowsH2270.
JusticeH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of thy throneH3678: mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923 before thy faceH6440. {habitation: or, establishment}
If the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 rise upH5927 against thee, leaveH3240 not thy placeH4725; for yieldingH4832 pacifiethH3240 greatH1419 offencesH2399.
InG1722 himG846 wasG2258 lifeG2222; andG2532 the lifeG2222 wasG2258 the lightG5457 of menG444.
Then shall we knowH3045, if we followH7291 on to knowH3045 the LORDH3068: his going forthH4161 is preparedH3559 as the morningH7837; and he shall comeH935 unto us as the rainH1653, as the latterH4456 and former rainH3384 unto the earthH776.
He shall come downH3381 like rainH4306 upon the mownH1488 grass: as showersH7241 that waterH2222 the earthH776.
And he shall liveH2421, and to him shall be givenH5414 of the goldH2091 of ShebaH7614: prayer also shall be madeH6419 for him continuallyH8548; and dailyH3117 shall he be praisedH1288. {shall be given: Heb. one shall give}
There shall be an handfulH6451 of cornH1250 in the earthH776 upon the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022; the fruitH6529 thereof shall shakeH7493 like LebanonH3844: and they of the cityH5892 shall flourishH6692 like grassH6212 of the earthH776.
His nameH8034 shall endure for everH5769: his nameH8034 shall be continuedH5125+H5125 as long asH6440 the sunH8121: and men shall be blessedH1288 in him: all nationsH1471 shall call him blessedH833. {endure: Heb. be} {his name shall be…: Heb. shall be as a son to continue his father's name for ever}
