King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
The king'sH4428 heartH3820 is in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, as the riversH6388 of waterH4325: he turnethH5186 it whithersoever he willH2654.
Every wayH1870 of a manH376 is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869: but the LORDH3068 ponderethH8505 the heartsH3826.
To doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941 is more acceptableH977 to the LORDH3068 than sacrificeH2077.
An highH7312 lookH5869, and a proudH7342 heartH3820, and the plowingH5215 of the wickedH7563, is sinH2403. {An…: Heb. Haughtiness of eyes} {the plowing: or, the light}
The thoughtsH4284 of the diligentH2742 tend only to plenteousnessH4195; but of every one that is hastyH213 only to wantH4270.
The gettingH6467 of treasuresH214 by a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is a vanityH1892 tossed to and fro ofH5086 them that seekH1245 deathH4194.
The robberyH7701 of the wickedH7563 shall destroyH1641 them; because they refuseH3985 to doH6213 judgmentH4941. {destroy…: Heb. saw them, or, dwell with them}
The wayH1870 of manH376 is frowardH2019 and strangeH2054: but as for the pureH2134, his workH6467 is rightH3477.
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in a cornerH6438 of the housetopH1406, than with a brawlingH4079+H4066 womanH802 in a wideH2267 houseH1004. {a brawling…: Heb. a woman of contentions} {a wide…: Heb. an house of society}
The soulH5315 of the wickedH7563 desirethH183 evilH7451: his neighbourH7453 findeth no favourH2603 in his eyesH5869. {findeth…: Heb. is not favoured}
When the scornerH3887 is punishedH6064, the simpleH6612 is made wiseH2449: and when the wiseH2450 is instructedH7919, he receivethH3947 knowledgeH1847.
The righteousH6662 man wisely considerethH7919 the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563: but God overthrowethH5557 the wickedH7563 for their wickednessH7451.
Whoso stoppethH331 his earsH241 at the cryH2201 of the poorH1800, he also shall cryH7121 himself, but shall not be heardH6030.
A giftH4976 in secretH5643 pacifiethH3711 angerH639: and a rewardH7810 in the bosomH2436 strongH5794 wrathH2534.
It is joyH8057 to the justH6662 to doH6213 judgmentH4941: but destructionH4288 shall be to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205.
The manH120 that wanderethH8582 out of the wayH1870 of understandingH7919 shall remainH5117 in the congregationH6951 of the deadH7496.
He that lovethH157 pleasureH8057 shall be a poorH4270 manH376: he that lovethH157 wineH3196 and oilH8081 shall not be richH6238. {pleasure: or, sport}
The wickedH7563 shall be a ransomH3724 for the righteousH6662, and the transgressorH898 for the uprightH3477.
It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the wildernessH776+H4057, than with a contentiousH4079+H4066 and an angryH3708 womanH802. {in…: Heb. in the land of the desert}
There is treasureH214 to be desiredH2530 and oilH8081 in the dwellingH5116 of the wiseH2450; but a foolishH3684 manH120 spendeth it upH1104.
He that followethH7291 after righteousnessH6666 and mercyH2617 findethH4672 lifeH2416, righteousnessH6666, and honourH3519.
A wiseH2450 man scalethH5927 the cityH5892 of the mightyH1368, and casteth downH3381 the strengthH5797 of the confidenceH4009 thereof.
Whoso keepethH8104 his mouthH6310 and his tongueH3956 keepethH8104 his soulH5315 from troublesH6869.
ProudH2086 and haughtyH3093 scornerH3887 is his nameH8034, who dealethH6213 in proudH2087 wrathH5678. {in proud…: Heb. in the wrath of pride}
The desireH8378 of the slothfulH6102 killethH4191 him; for his handsH3027 refuseH3985 to labourH6213.
He covetethH183 greedilyH8378 all the dayH3117 long: but the righteousH6662 givethH5414 and sparethH2820 not.
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is abominationH8441: how much more, when he bringethH935 it with a wicked mindH2154? {with…: Heb. in wickedness?}
A falseH3577 witnessH5707 shall perishH6: but the manH376 that hearethH8085 speakethH1696 constantlyH5331. {A…: Heb. A witness of lies}
A wickedH7563 manH376 hardenethH5810 his faceH6440: but as for the uprightH3477, he directethH995+H3559 his wayH1870. {directeth: or, considereth}
There is no wisdomH2451 nor understandingH8394 nor counselH6098 against the LORDH3068.
The horseH5483 is preparedH3559 against the dayH3117 of battleH4421: but safetyH8668 is of the LORDH3068. {safety: or, victory}
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}
ButG235+G846 we hadG2192 the sentenceG610 of deathG2288 inG1722 ourselvesG1438, thatG3363 we shouldG3982 notG3363 trustG3982 inG1909 ourselvesG1438+G5600, butG235 inG1909 GodG2316 whichG3588 raisethG1453 the deadG3498: {sentence: or, answer}
AndG1161+G2596 the sameG1565 timeG2540 there aroseG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 aboutG4012 that wayG3598.
ForG1063 a certainG5100 man namedG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silversmithG695, which madeG4160 silverG693 shrinesG3485 for DianaG735, broughtG3930 noG3756 smallG3641 gainG2039 unto the craftsmenG5079;
WhomG3739 he called togetherG4867 with the workmenG2040 ofG4012 like occupationG5108, andG2532 saidG2036, SirsG435, ye knowG1987 thatG3754 byG1537 thisG5026 craftG2039 we haveG2076 ourG2257 wealthG2142.
MoreoverG2532 ye seeG2334 andG2532 hearG191, thatG3754 notG3756 aloneG3440 at EphesusG2181, butG235 almostG4975 throughout allG3956 AsiaG773, thisG3778 PaulG3972 hath persuadedG3982 and turned awayG3179 muchG2425 peopleG3793, sayingG3004 thatG3754 they beG1526 noG3756 godsG2316, whichG3588 are madeG1096 withG1223 handsG5495:
SoG1161 that notG3756 onlyG3440 thisG5124 ourG2254 craftG3313 is in dangerG2793 to be setG2064 atG1519 noughtG557; butG235 alsoG2532 that the templeG2411 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735 should be despisedG1519+G3762+G3049, andG1161+G2532 herG846 magnificenceG3168 shouldG3195 be destroyedG2507, whomG3739 allG3650 AsiaG773 andG2532 the worldG3625 worshippethG4576. {set at nought: or, brought into disrepute, or, contempt}
AndG1161 when they heardG191 these sayings, they wereG1096 fullG4134 of wrathG2372, andG2532 cried outG2896, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 is DianaG735 of the EphesiansG2180.
AndG2532 the wholeG3650 cityG4172 was filledG4130 with confusionG4799: andG5037 having caughtG4884 GaiusG1050 andG2532 AristarchusG708, men of MacedoniaG3110, Paul'sG3972 companions in travelG4898, they rushedG3729 with one accordG3661 intoG1519 the theatreG2302.
AndG1161 whenG1014 PaulG3972 wouldG1014 have enteredG1525 inG1519 unto the peopleG1218, the disciplesG3101 sufferedG1439 himG846 notG3756.
AndG1161+G2532 certainG5100 of the chief of AsiaG775, which wereG5607 hisG846 friendsG5384, sentG3992 untoG4314 himG846, desiringG3870 him that he wouldG1325 notG3361 adventureG1325 himselfG1438 intoG1519 the theatreG2302.
SomeG243 thereforeG3767+G3303 criedG2896 one thingG5100, and some anotherG243: forG1063 the assemblyG1577 wasG2258 confusedG4797; andG2532 the more partG4119 knewG1492 notG3756 whereforeG5101+G1752 they were come togetherG4905.
AndG1161 they drewG4264 AlexanderG223 out ofG1537 the multitudeG3793, the JewsG2453 puttingG4261 himG846 forwardG4261. AndG1161 AlexanderG223 beckonedG2678 with the handG5495, and wouldG2309 have made his defenceG626 unto the peopleG1218.
ButG1161 when they knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a JewG2453, allG3956+G1096 withG1537 oneG3391 voiceG5456 aboutG5613 the spaceG1909 of twoG1417 hoursG5610 cried outG2896, GreatG3173 is DianaG735 of the EphesiansG2180.
AndG1161 when the townclerkG1122 had appeasedG2687 the peopleG3793, he saidG5346, Ye menG435 of EphesusG2180, whatG5101+G1063 manG444 is thereG2076 thatG3739 knowethG1097 notG3756 how that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG5607 a worshipperG3511 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735, andG2532 of the image which fell down from JupiterG1356? {a worshipper: Gr. the temple keeper}
SeeingG5607 thenG3767 that these thingsG5130 cannot be spoken againstG368, yeG5209 oughtG1163+G2076 to beG5225 quietG2687, andG2532 to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashlyG4312.
ForG1063 ye have brought hitherG71 theseG5128 menG435, which are neitherG3777 robbers of churchesG2417, nor yetG3777 blasphemersG987 of yourG5216 goddessG2299.
WhereforeG3303+G3767 ifG1487 DemetriusG1216, andG2532 the craftsmenG5079 which are withG4862 himG846, haveG2192 a matterG3056 againstG4314 any manG5100, the lawG60 is openG71, andG2532 there areG1526 deputiesG446: let them impleadG1458 one anotherG240. {the law…: or, the court days are kept}
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye enquireG1934 any thingG5100 concerningG4012 other mattersG2087, it shall be determinedG1956 inG1722 a lawfulG1772 assemblyG1577. {lawful: or, ordinary}
ForG1063+G2532 we are in dangerG2793 to be called in questionG1458 forG4012 this day'sG4594 uproarG4714, there beingG5225 noG3367 causeG158 wherebyG4012+G3739 we mayG1410 giveG591 an accountG3056 of thisG5026 concourseG4963.
AndG2532 when he hadG2036 thusG5023 spokenG2036, he dismissedG630 the assemblyG1577.
