Man'sH1397 goingsH4703 are of the LORDH3068; how can a manH120 then understandH995 his own wayH1870?
It is a snareH4170 to the manH120 who devourethH3216 that which is holyH6944, and afterH310 vowsH5088 to make enquiryH1239.
O LORDH3068, I knowH3045 that the wayH1870 of manH120 is not in himself: it is not in manH376 that walkethH1980 to directH3559 his stepsH6806.
The stepsH4703 of a good manH1397 are orderedH3559 by the LORDH3068: and he delightethH2654 in his wayH1870. {ordered: or, established}
But as for you, ye thoughtH2803 evilH7451 against me; but GodH430 meant itH2803 unto goodH2896, toH4616 bring to passH6213, as it is this dayH3117, to saveH2421 muchH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421.
BetterH2896 is it that thou shouldest not vowH5087, than that thou shouldest vowH5087 and not payH7999.
But if thou shalt forbearH2308 to vowH5087, it shall be no sinH2399 in thee.
That which is gone outH4161 of thy lipsH8193 thou shalt keepH8104 and performH6213; even a freewill offeringH5071, according as thou hast vowedH5087 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which thou hast promisedH1696 with thy mouthH6310.
And JephthahH3316 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, If thou shalt without failH5414 deliverH5414 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 into mine handsH3027,
Then it shall be, that whatsoeverH3318 cometh forthH3318 of the doorsH1817 of my houseH1004 to meetH7125 me, when I returnH7725 in peaceH7965 from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, shall surely be the LORD'SH3068, and I will offer it upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930. {whatsoever…: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and…: or, or I will offer it, etc}
So JephthahH3316 passed overH5674 unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 to fightH3898 against them; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into his handsH3027.
And he smoteH5221 them from AroerH6177, even till thou comeH935 to MinnithH4511, even twentyH6242 citiesH5892, and unto the plainH58 of the vineyardsH3754+H64, with a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347. Thus the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 were subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {the plain: or, Abel}
And JephthahH3316 cameH935 to MizpehH4709 unto his houseH1004, and, behold, his daughterH1323 came outH3318 to meetH7125 him with timbrelsH8596 and with dancesH4246: and she was his only childH3173; beside her he had neither sonH1121 norH176 daughterH1323. {beside…: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself}
And it came to pass, when he sawH7200 her, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and saidH559, AlasH162, my daughterH1323! thou hast broughtH3766 me veryH3766 lowH3766, and thou art one of them that troubleH5916 me: for I have openedH6475 my mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068, and I cannotH3201 go backH7725.
And she saidH559 unto him, My fatherH1, if thou hast openedH6475 thy mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068, doH6213 to me according to that whichH834 hath proceededH3318 out of thy mouthH6310; forasmuchH310 as the LORDH3068 hath takenH6213 vengeanceH5360 for thee of thine enemiesH341, even of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And she saidH559 unto her fatherH1, Let this thingH1697 be doneH6213 for me: let me aloneH7503 twoH8147 monthsH2320, that I may go upH3212 and downH3381 upon the mountainsH2022, and bewailH1058 my virginityH1331, I and my fellowsH7464+H7474. {go up…: Heb. go and go down}
And he saidH559, GoH3212. And he sent her awayH7971 for twoH8147 monthsH2320: and she wentH3212 with her companionsH7464, and bewailedH1058 her virginityH1331 upon the mountainsH2022.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of twoH8147 monthsH2320, that she returnedH7725 unto her fatherH1, who didH6213 with her according to his vowH5088 which he had vowedH5087: and she knewH3045 no manH376. And it was a customH2706 in IsraelH3478, {custom: or, ordinance}
That the daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212 yearlyH3117+H3117 to lamentH8567 the daughterH1323 of JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 fourH702 daysH3117 in a yearH8141. {yearly: Heb. from year to year} {to lament: or, to talk with}
NeverthelessG1161 heG3739 that standethG2476 stedfastG1476 inG1722 his heartG2588, havingG2192 noG3361 necessityG318, butG1161 hathG2192 powerG1849 overG4012 his ownG2398 willG2307, andG2532 hathG2919 soG5124 decreedG2919 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588 that he will keepG5083 hisG1438 virginG3933, doethG4160 wellG2573.
