Versliste
HearH8085, ye childrenH1121, the instructionH4148 of a fatherH1, and attendH7181 to knowH3045 understandingH998.
For I giveH5414 you goodH2896 doctrineH3948, forsakeH5800 ye not my lawH8451.
For I was my father'sH1 sonH1121, tenderH7390 and onlyH3173 beloved in the sightH6440 of my motherH517.
He taughtH3384 me also, and saidH559 unto me, Let thine heartH3820 retainH8551 my wordsH1697: keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and liveH2421.
IfG1161 a sonG5207 shall askG154 breadG740 of any of youG5216 that is a fatherG3962+G5101, will he giveG1929+G3361 himG846 a stoneG3037? orG1499 if he ask a fishG2486, will heG1929 forG473 a fishG2486 giveG1929+G3361 himG846 a serpentG3789?
OrG2228+G2532 ifG1437 he shall askG154 an eggG5609, will he offerG3361+G1929 himG846 a scorpionG4651? {offer: Gr. give}
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
And they comeH935 unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213 them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213 much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980 afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. {as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit…: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovelyH5690 songH7892 of one that hath a pleasantH3303 voiceH6963, and can play wellH2895 on an instrumentH5059: for they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they doH6213 them not. {a very…: Heb. a song of loves}
I marvelG2296 thatG3754 ye areG3346 soG3779 soonG5030 removedG3346 fromG575 him that calledG2564 youG5209 intoG1722 the graceG5485 of ChristG5547 untoG1519 anotherG2087 gospelG2098:
WhichG3739 isG2076 notG3756 anotherG243; but there beG1526 someG5100 thatG1508 troubleG5015 youG5209, andG2532 wouldG2309 pervertG3344 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 the timeG2540 will comeG2071 whenG3753 they willG430 notG3756 endureG430 soundG5198 doctrineG1319; butG235 afterG2596 their ownG2398 lustsG1939 shall they heapG2002 to themselvesG1438 teachersG1320, having itchingG2833 earsG189;
AndG2532 they shall turn awayG3303+G654 their earsG189 fromG575 the truthG225, andG1161 shall be turnedG1624 untoG1909 fablesG3454.
And DavidH1732 saidH559, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 is youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the houseH1004 that is to be buildedH1129 for the LORDH3068 must be exceedingH4605 magnificalH1431, of fameH8034 and of gloryH8597 throughout all countriesH776: I will therefore now make preparationH3559 for it. So DavidH1732 preparedH3559 abundantlyH7230 beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
Furthermore DavidH1732 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, whom aloneH259 GodH430 hath chosenH977, is yet youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the workH4399 is greatH1419: for the palaceH1002 is not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068 GodH430.
And these wordsH1697, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, shall be in thine heartH3824:
And thou shalt teach them diligentlyH8150 unto thy childrenH1121, and shalt talkH1696 of them when thou sittestH3427 in thine houseH1004, and when thou walkestH3212 by the wayH1870, and when thou liest downH7901, and when thou risest upH6965. {teach: Heb. whet, or, sharpen}
And thou shalt bindH7194 them for a signH226 upon thine handH3027, and they shall be as frontletsH2903 between thine eyesH5869.
And thou shalt writeH3789 them upon the postsH4201 of thy houseH1004, and on thy gatesH8179.
My sonH1121, hearH8085 the instructionH4148 of thy fatherH1, and forsakeH5203 not the lawH8451 of thy motherH517:
AndG2532, ye fathersG3962, provokeG3949 notG3361 yourG5216 childrenG5043 to wrathG3949: butG235 bringG1625 themG846 upG1625 inG1722 the nurtureG3809 andG2532 admonitionG3559 of the LordG2962.
That thou mightest fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 all his statutesH2708 and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121, all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416; and that thy daysH3117 may be prolongedH748.
When I callG2983 to remembranceG5280 the unfeignedG505 faithG4102 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3748 dweltG1774 firstG4412 inG1722 thyG4675 grandmotherG3125 LoisG3090, andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384 EuniceG2131; andG1161 I am persuadedG3982 thatG3754 inG1722 theeG4671 alsoG2532.
For enquireH7592, I pray thee, of the formerH7223+H7223 ageH1755, and prepareH3559 thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathersH1:
(For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738:) {nothing: Heb. not}
Shall not they teachH3384 thee, and tellH559 thee, and utterH3318 wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?
ButG1161 continueG3306 thouG4771 inG1722 the things whichG3739 thou hast learnedG3129 andG2532 hast been assured ofG4104, knowingG1492 ofG3844 whomG5101 thou hast learnedG3129 them;
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
Lest thou shouldest ponderH6424 the pathH734 of lifeH2416, her waysH4570 are moveableH5128, that thou canst not knowH3045 them.
HearH8085 me now therefore, O ye childrenH1121, and departH5493 not from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
