If not, hearken<WH8085> unto me: hold thy peace<WH2790>, and I shall teach<WH502> thee wisdom<WH2451>.


btext:
Hear<WH8085> my words<WH4405>, O ye wise<WH2450> men; and give ear<WH238> unto me, ye that have knowledge<WH3045>.

For the ear<WH241> trieth<WH974> words<WH4405>, as the mouth<WH2441> tasteth<WH2938> meat<WH398>. / mouth: Heb. palate


btext:
Let us choose<WH977> to us judgment<WH4941>: let us know<WH3045> among ourselves what is good<WH2896>.


btext:
For Job<WH347> hath said<WH559>, I am righteous<WH6663>: and God<WH410> hath taken away<WH5493> my judgment<WH4941>.


btext:
Should I lie<WH3576> against my right<WH4941>? my wound<WH2671> is incurable<WH605> without transgression<WH6588>. / my wound: Heb. mine arrow


btext:
Which goeth<WH732> in company<WH2274> with the workers<WH6466> of iniquity<WH205>, and walketh<WH3212> with wicked<WH7562> men<WH582>.


btext:
For he hath said<WH559>, It profiteth<WH5532> a man<WH1397> nothing that he should delight<WH7521> himself with God<WH430>.


btext:
Therefore hearken<WH8085> unto me, ye men<WH582> of understanding<WH3824>: far be it<WH2486> from God<WH410>, that he should do wickedness<WH7562>; and from the Almighty<WH7706>, that he should commit iniquity<WH5766>. / men…: Heb. men of heart


btext:
For the work<WH6467> of a man<WH120> shall he render<WH7999> unto him, and cause every man<WH376> to find<WH4672> according to his ways<WH734>.


btext:
Yea, surely<WH551> God<WH410> will not do wickedly<WH7561>, neither will the Almighty<WH7706> pervert<WH5791> judgment<WH4941>.


btext:
Who hath given him a charge<WH6485> over the earth<WH776>? or who hath disposed<WH7760> the whole world<WH8398>? / the whole: Heb. all of it?


btext:
If he set<WH7760> his heart<WH3820> upon man, if he gather<WH622> unto himself his spirit<WH7307> and his breath<WH5397>; / man: Heb. him


btext:
All flesh<WH1320> shall perish<WH1478> together<WH3162>, and man<WH120> shall turn again<WH7725> unto dust<WH6083>.


btext:
If now thou hast understanding<WH998>, hear<WH8085> this: hearken<WH238> to the voice<WH6963> of my words<WH4405>.


btext:
Shall even he that hateth<WH8130> right<WH4941> govern<WH2280>? and wilt thou condemn<WH7561> him that is most<WH3524> just<WH6662>? / govern: Heb. bind?


btext:
Is it fit to say<WH559> to a king<WH4428>, Thou art wicked<WH1100>? and to princes<WH5081>, Ye are ungodly<WH7563>?


btext:
How much less to him that accepteth<WH5375> not the persons<WH6440> of princes<WH8269>, nor regardeth<WH5234> the rich<WH7771> more than<WH6440> the poor<WH1800>? for they all are the work<WH4639> of his hands<WH3027>.


btext:
In a moment<WH7281> shall they die<WH4191>, and the people<WH5971> shall be troubled<WH1607> at midnight<WH2676><WH3915>, and pass away<WH5674>: and the mighty<WH47> shall be taken away<WH5493> without hand<WH3027>. / the mighty…: Heb. they shall take away the mighty


btext:
For his eyes<WH5869> are upon the ways<WH1870> of man<WH376>, and he seeth<WH7200> all his goings<WH6806>.


btext:
There is no darkness<WH2822>, nor shadow of death<WH6757>, where the workers<WH6466> of iniquity<WH205> may hide<WH5641> themselves.


btext:
For he will not lay<WH7760> upon man<WH376> more than right; that he should enter<WH1980> into judgment<WH4941> with God<WH410>. / enter: Heb. go


btext:
He shall break in pieces<WH7489> mighty men<WH3524> without number<WH2714>, and set<WH5975> others<WH312> in their stead. / number: Heb. searching out


btext:
Therefore he knoweth<WH5234> their works<WH4566>, and he overturneth<WH2015> them in the night<WH3915>, so that they are destroyed<WH1792>. / destroyed: Heb. crushed


btext:
He striketh<WH5606> them as<WH8478> wicked men<WH7563> in the open<WH4725> sight<WH7200> of others; / open…: Heb. place of beholders


btext:
Because they turned back<WH5493> from him<WH310>, and would not consider<WH7919> any of his ways<WH1870>: / him: Heb. after him


btext:
So that they cause the cry<WH6818> of the poor<WH1800> to come<WH935> unto him, and he heareth<WH8085> the cry<WH6818> of the afflicted<WH6041>.


btext:
When he giveth quietness<WH8252>, who then can make trouble<WH7561>? and when he hideth<WH5641> his face<WH6440>, who then can behold<WH7789> him? whether it be done against a nation<WH1471>, or against a man<WH120> only<WH3162>:


btext:
Surely it is meet to be said<WH559> unto God<WH410>, I have borne<WH5375> chastisement, I will not offend<WH2254> any more:


btext:
That which I see<WH2372> not<WH1107> teach<WH3384> thou me: if I have done<WH6466> iniquity<WH5766>, I will do<WH3254> no more.


btext:
Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense<WH7999> it, whether thou refuse<WH3588><WH3988>, or whether thou choose<WH977>; and not I: therefore speak<WH1696> what thou knowest<WH3045>. / according…: Heb. from with thee?


btext:
Let men<WH582> of understanding<WH3824> tell<WH559> me, and let a wise<WH2450> man<WH1397> hearken<WH8085> unto me. / of…: Heb. of heart


btext:
Job<WH347> hath spoken<WH1696> without knowledge<WH1847>, and his words<WH1697> were without wisdom<WH7919>.


btext:
My desire<WH15><WH1> is that Job<WH347> may be tried<WH974> unto the end<WH5331> because of his answers<WH8666> for wicked<WH205> men<WH582>. / My…: or, My father, let Job be tried


btext:
For he addeth<WH3254> rebellion<WH6588> unto his sin<WH2403>, he clappeth<WH5606> his hands among us, and multiplieth<WH7235> his words<WH561> against God<WH410>.


btext:
Thinkest<WH2803> thou this to be right<WH4941>, that thou saidst<WH559>, My righteousness<WH6664> is more than God's<WH410>?


btext:
For thou saidst<WH559>, What advantage<WH5532> will it be unto thee? and, What profit<WH3276> shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin<WH2403>? / if…: or, by it more than by my sin


btext:
I will answer<WH7725><WH4405> thee, and thy companions<WH7453> with thee. / answer…: Heb. return to thee words


btext:
Look<WH5027> unto the heavens<WH8064>, and see<WH7200>; and behold<WH7789> the clouds<WH7834> which are higher<WH1361> than thou.


btext:
If thou sinnest<WH2398>, what doest<WH6466> thou against him? or if thy transgressions<WH6588> be multiplied<WH7231>, what doest<WH6213> thou unto him?


btext:
If thou be righteous<WH6663>, what givest<WH5414> thou him? or what receiveth<WH3947> he of thine hand<WH3027>?


btext:
Thy wickedness<WH7562> may hurt a man<WH376> as thou art; and thy righteousness<WH6666> may profit the son<WH1121> of man<WH120>.


btext:
By reason of the multitude<WH7230> of oppressions<WH6217> they make the oppressed to cry<WH2199>: they cry out<WH7768> by reason of the arm<WH2220> of the mighty<WH7227>.


btext:
But none saith<WH559>, Where is God<WH433> my maker<WH6213>, who giveth<WH5414> songs<WH2158> in the night<WH3915>;


btext:
Who teacheth<WH502> us more than the beasts<WH929> of the earth<WH776>, and maketh us wiser<WH2449> than the fowls<WH5775> of heaven<WH8064>?


btext:
There they cry<WH6817>, but none giveth answer<WH6030>, because<WH6440> of the pride<WH1347> of evil men<WH7451>.


btext:
Surely God<WH410> will not hear<WH8085> vanity<WH7723>, neither will the Almighty<WH7706> regard<WH7789> it.


btext:
Although<WH637> thou sayest<WH559> thou shalt not see<WH7789> him, yet judgment<WH1779> is before<WH6440> him; therefore trust<WH2342> thou in him.


btext:
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited<WH6485> in his anger<WH639>; yet he knoweth<WH3045> it not in great<WH3966> extremity<WH6580>: / he hath: that is, God hath / he knoweth: that is, Job knoweth


btext:
Therefore doth Job<WH347> open<WH6475> his mouth<WH6310> in vain<WH1892>; he multiplieth<WH3527> words<WH4405> without<WH1097> knowledge<WH1847>.


btext:
Suffer<WH3803> me a little<WH2191>, and I will shew<WH2331> thee that I have yet to speak<WH4405> on God's<WH433> behalf. / I have…: Heb. there are yet words for God


btext:
I will fetch<WH5375> my knowledge<WH1843> from afar<WH7350>, and will ascribe<WH5414> righteousness<WH6664> to my Maker<WH6466>.


btext:
For truly<WH551> my words<WH4405> shall not be false<WH8267>: he that is perfect<WH8549> in knowledge<WH1844> is with thee.


btext:
Behold, God<WH410> is mighty<WH3524>, and despiseth<WH3988> not any: he is mighty<WH3524> in strength<WH3581> and wisdom<WH3820>. / wisdom: Heb. heart


btext:
He preserveth not the life<WH2421> of the wicked<WH7563>: but giveth<WH5414> right<WH4941> to the poor<WH6041>. / poor: or, afflicted


btext:
He withdraweth<WH1639> not his eyes<WH5869> from the righteous<WH6662>: but with kings<WH4428> are they on the throne<WH3678>; yea, he doth establish<WH3427> them for ever<WH5331>, and they are exalted<WH1361>.


btext:
And if they be bound<WH631> in fetters<WH2131>, and be holden<WH3920> in cords<WH2256> of affliction<WH6040>;


btext:
Then he sheweth<WH5046> them their work<WH6467>, and their transgressions<WH6588> that they have exceeded<WH1396>.


btext:
He openeth<WH1540> also their ear<WH241> to discipline<WH4148>, and commandeth<WH559> that they return<WH7725> from iniquity<WH205>.


btext:
If they obey<WH8085> and serve<WH5647> him, they shall spend<WH3615> their days<WH3117> in prosperity<WH2896>, and their years<WH8141> in pleasures<WH5273>.

But the hypocrites<WH2611> in heart<WH3820> heap up<WH7760> wrath<WH639>: they cry<WH7768> not when he bindeth<WH631> them.

They<WH5315> die<WH4191> in youth<WH5290>, and their life<WH2416> is among the unclean<WH6945>. / They…: Heb. Their soul dieth / unclean: or, sodomites


btext:
He delivereth<WH2502> the poor<WH6041> in his affliction<WH6040>, and openeth<WH1540> their ears<WH241> in oppression<WH3906>. / poor: or, afflicted


btext:
Even so would he have removed<WH5496> thee out of the strait<WH6310><WH6862> into a broad place<WH7338>, where<WH8478> there is no straitness<WH4164>; and that which should be set<WH5183> on thy table<WH7979> should be full<WH4390> of fatness<WH1880>. / that…: Heb. the rest of thy table

btext:
Because there is wrath<WH2534>, beware lest he take thee away<WH5496> with his stroke<WH5607>: then a great<WH7230> ransom<WH3724> cannot deliver<WH5186> thee. / deliver…: Heb. turn thee aside


btext:
Will he esteem<WH6186> thy riches<WH7769>? no, not gold<WH1222>, nor all the forces<WH3981> of strength<WH3581>.


btext:
Take heed<WH8104>, regard<WH6437> not iniquity<WH205>: for this hast thou chosen<WH977> rather than affliction<WH6040>.


btext:
Who hath enjoined<WH6485> him his way<WH1870>? or who can say<WH559>, Thou hast wrought<WH6466> iniquity<WH5766>?

Behold, God<WH410> is great<WH7689>, and we know<WH3045> him not, neither can the number<WH4557> of his years<WH8141> be searched out<WH2714>.

btext:
Also can any understand<WH995> the spreadings<WH4666> of the clouds<WH5645>, or the noise<WH8663> of his tabernacle<WH5521>?


btext:
Behold, he spreadeth<WH6566> his light<WH216> upon it, and covereth<WH3680> the bottom<WH8328> of the sea<WH3220>. / bottom: Heb. roots

For by them judgeth<WH1777> he the people<WH5971>; he giveth<WH5414> meat<WH400> in abundance<WH4342>.


btext:
With clouds<WH3709> he covereth<WH3680> the light<WH216>; and commandeth<WH6680> it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt<WH6293>.


btext:
The noise<WH7452> thereof sheweth<WH5046> concerning it, the cattle<WH4735> also concerning the vapour<WH5927>. / the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up


btext:
At this<WH2063> also my heart<WH3820> trembleth<WH2729>, and is moved out<WH5425> of his place<WH4725>.

Hear<WH8085> attentively<WH8085> the noise<WH7267> of his voice<WH6963>, and the sound<WH1899> that goeth out<WH3318> of his mouth<WH6310>. / Hear…: Heb. Hear in hearing

God<WH410> thundereth<WH7481> marvellously<WH6381> with his voice<WH6963>; great things<WH1419> doeth<WH6213> he, which we cannot comprehend<WH3045>.


btext:
For he saith<WH559> to the snow<WH7950>, Be thou<WH1933> on the earth<WH776>; likewise to the small<WH4306> rain<WH1653>, and to the great<WH4306> rain<WH1653> of his strength<WH5797>. / likewise…: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength

He sealeth up<WH2856> the hand<WH3027> of every man<WH120>; that all men<WH582> may know<WH3045> his work<WH4639>.


btext:
Then the beasts<WH2416> go<WH935> into<WH1119> dens<WH695>, and remain<WH7931> in their places<WH4585>.

He causeth it to come<WH4672>, whether for correction<WH7626>, or for his land<WH776>, or for mercy<WH2617>. / correction: Heb. a rod


btext:
Hearken<WH238> unto this, O Job<WH347>: stand still<WH5975>, and consider<WH995> the wondrous<WH6381> works of God<WH410>.

Dost thou know<WH3045> when God<WH433> disposed<WH7760> them, and caused the light<WH216> of his cloud<WH6051> to shine<WH3313>?

Dost thou know<WH3045> the balancings<WH4657> of the clouds<WH5645>, the wondrous works<WH4652> of him which is perfect<WH8549> in knowledge<WH1843>?

How thy garments<WH899> are warm<WH2525>, when he quieteth<WH8252> the earth<WH776> by the south<WH1864> wind?


btext:
Hast thou with him spread out<WH7554> the sky<WH7834>, which is strong<WH2389>, and as a molten<WH3332> looking glass<WH7209>?


btext:
Teach<WH3045> us what we shall say<WH559> unto him; for we cannot order<WH6186> our speech by reason<WH6440> of darkness<WH2822>.


btext:
Shall it be told<WH5608> him that I speak<WH1696>? if a man<WH376> speak<WH559>, surely he shall be swallowed up<WH1104>.


btext:
And now men see<WH7200> not the bright<WH925> light<WH216> which is in the clouds<WH7834>: but the wind<WH7307> passeth<WH5674>, and cleanseth<WH2891> them.

Men<WH582> do therefore fear<WH3372> him: he respecteth<WH7200> not any that are wise<WH2450> of heart<WH3820>.

btext:
For he established<WH6965> a testimony<WH5715> in Jacob<WH3290>, and appointed<WH7760> a law<WH8451> in Israel<WH3478>, which he commanded<WH6680> our fathers<WH1>, that they should make them known<WH3045> to their children<WH1121>:

btext:
He divided<WH1234> the sea<WH3220>, and caused them to pass through<WH5674>; and he made the waters<WH4325> to stand<WH5324> as an heap<WH5067>.


btext:
In the daytime<WH3119> also he led<WH5148> them with a cloud<WH6051>, and all the night<WH3915> with a light<WH216> of fire<WH784>.


btext:
He clave<WH1234> the rocks<WH6697> in the wilderness<WH4057>, and gave them drink<WH8248> as out of the great<WH7227> depths<WH8415>.


btext:
He brought<WH3318> streams<WH5140> also out of the rock<WH5553>, and caused waters<WH4325> to run down<WH3381> like rivers<WH5104>.


btext:
And they sinned<WH2398> yet more<WH3254> against him by provoking<WH4784> the most High<WH5945> in the wilderness<WH6723>.


btext:
And they tempted<WH5254> God<WH410> in their heart<WH3824> by asking<WH7592> meat<WH400> for their lust<WH5315>.


btext:
Yea, they spake<WH1696> against God<WH430>; they said<WH559>, Can<WH3201> God<WH410> furnish<WH6186> a table<WH7979> in the wilderness<WH4057>? / furnish: Heb. order

btext:
Therefore the LORD<WH3068> heard<WH8085> this, and was wroth<WH5674>: so a fire<WH784> was kindled<WH5400> against Jacob<WH3290>, and anger<WH639> also came up<WH5927> against Israel<WH3478>;


btext:
Though he had commanded<WH6680> the clouds<WH7834> from above<WH4605>, and opened<WH6605> the doors<WH1817> of heaven<WH8064>,


btext:
And had rained down<WH4305> manna<WH4478> upon them to eat<WH398>, and had given<WH5414> them of the corn<WH1715> of heaven<WH8064>.

He rained<WH4305> flesh<WH7607> also upon them as dust<WH6083>, and feathered<WH3671> fowls<WH5775> like as the sand<WH2344> of the sea<WH3220>: / feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing


btext:
And he let it fall<WH5307> in the midst<WH7130> of their camp<WH4264>, round about<WH5439> their habitations<WH4908>.

So they did eat<WH398>, and were well<WH3966> filled<WH7646>: for he gave<WH935> them their own desire<WH8378>;


btext:
They were not estranged<WH2114> from their lust<WH8378>. But while their meat<WH400> was yet in their mouths<WH6310>,


btext:
The wrath<WH639> of God<WH430> came<WH5927> upon them, and slew<WH2026> the fattest<WH4924> of them, and smote down<WH3766> the chosen<WH970> men of Israel<WH3478>. / smote…: Heb. made to bow / Chosen…: or, young men


btext:
Therefore their days<WH3117> did he consume<WH3615> in vanity<WH1892>, and their years<WH8141> in trouble<WH928>.


btext:
When he slew<WH2026> them, then they sought<WH1875> him: and they returned<WH7725> and enquired early<WH7836> after God<WH410>.


btext:
And they remembered<WH2142> that God<WH430> was their rock<WH6697>, and the high<WH5945> God<WH410> their redeemer<WH1350>.


btext:
Nevertheless they did flatter<WH6601> him with their mouth<WH6310>, and they lied<WH3576> unto him with their tongues<WH3956>.


btext:
For their heart<WH3820> was not right<WH3559> with him, neither were they stedfast<WH539> in his covenant<WH1285>.


btext:
But he, being full of compassion<WH7349>, forgave<WH3722> their iniquity<WH5771>, and destroyed<WH7843> them not: yea, many a time<WH7235> turned<WH7725> he his anger<WH639> away<WH7725>, and did not stir up<WH5782> all his wrath<WH2534>.


btext:
For he remembered<WH2142> that they were but flesh<WH1320>; a wind<WH7307> that passeth away<WH1980>, and cometh not again<WH7725>.


btext:
How<WH4100> oft did they provoke<WH4784> him in the wilderness<WH4057>, and grieve<WH6087> him in the desert<WH3452>! / provoke: or, rebel against

Yea, they turned back<WH7725> and tempted<WH5254> God<WH410>, and limited<WH8428> the Holy One<WH6918> of Israel<WH3478>.


btext:
They remembered<WH2142> not his hand<WH3027>, nor the day<WH3117> when he delivered<WH6299> them from the enemy<WH6862>. / from…: or, from affliction

btext:
And had turned<WH2015> their rivers<WH2975> into blood<WH1818>; and their floods<WH5140>, that they could not drink<WH8354>.

He sent<WH7971> divers sorts of flies<WH6157> among them, which devoured<WH398> them; and frogs<WH6854>, which destroyed<WH7843> them.


btext:
He gave<WH5414> also their increase<WH2981> unto the caterpiller<WH2625>, and their labour<WH3018> unto the locust<WH697>.

He destroyed<WH2026> their vines<WH1612> with hail<WH1259>, and their sycomore trees<WH8256> with frost<WH2602>. / destroyed: Heb. killed / frost: or, great hailstones

He cast<WH7971> upon them the fierceness<WH2740> of his anger<WH639>, wrath<WH5678>, and indignation<WH2195>, and trouble<WH6869>, by sending<WH4917> evil<WH7451> angels<WH4397> among them.


btext:
He made<WH6424> a way<WH5410> to his anger<WH639>; he spared<WH2820> not their soul<WH5315> from death<WH4194>, but gave<WH5462> their life<WH2416> over<WH5462> to the pestilence<WH1698>; / He made…: Heb. He weighed a path / life…: or, beasts to the murrain


btext:
And smote<WH5221> all the firstborn<WH1060> in Egypt<WH4714>; the chief<WH7225> of their strength<WH202> in the tabernacles<WH168> of Ham<WH2526>:


btext:
But made his own people<WH5971> to go forth<WH5265> like sheep<WH6629>, and guided<WH5090> them in the wilderness<WH4057> like a flock<WH5739>.


btext:
And he led<WH5148> them on safely<WH983>, so that they feared<WH6342> not: but the sea<WH3220> overwhelmed<WH3680> their enemies<WH341>. / overwhelmed: Heb. covered


btext:
And he brought<WH935> them to the border<WH1366> of his sanctuary<WH6944>, even to this mountain<WH2022>, which his right hand<WH3225> had purchased<WH7069>.


btext:
He cast out<WH1644> the heathen<WH1471> also before<WH6440> them, and divided<WH5307> them an inheritance<WH5159> by line<WH2256>, and made the tribes<WH7626> of Israel<WH3478> to dwell<WH7931> in their tents<WH168>.


btext:
Yet they tempted<WH5254> and provoked<WH4784> the most high<WH5945> God<WH430>, and kept<WH8104> not his testimonies<WH5713>:


btext:
But turned back<WH5472>, and dealt unfaithfully<WH898> like their fathers<WH1>: they were turned aside<WH2015> like a deceitful<WH7423> bow<WH7198>.


btext:
For they provoked him to anger<WH3707> with their high places<WH1116>, and moved him to jealousy<WH7065> with their graven images<WH6456>.


btext:
When God<WH430> heard<WH8085> this, he was wroth<WH5674>, and greatly<WH3966> abhorred<WH3988> Israel<WH3478>:


btext:
So that he forsook<WH5203> the tabernacle<WH4908> of Shiloh<WH7887>, the tent<WH168> which he placed<WH7931> among men<WH120>;


btext:
And delivered<WH5414> his strength<WH5797> into captivity<WH7628>, and his glory<WH8597> into the enemy's<WH6862> hand<WH3027>.


btext:
He gave<WH5462> his people<WH5971> over<WH5462> also unto the sword<WH2719>; and was wroth<WH5674> with his inheritance<WH5159>.

The fire<WH784> consumed<WH398> their young men<WH970>; and their maidens<WH1330> were not given to marriage<WH1984>. / given…: Heb. praised


btext:
Their priests<WH3548> fell<WH5307> by the sword<WH2719>; and their widows<WH490> made no lamentation<WH1058>.

Then the Lord<WH136> awaked<WH3364> as one out of sleep<WH3463>, and like a mighty man<WH1368> that shouteth<WH7442> by reason of wine<WH3196>.


btext:
And he smote<WH5221> his enemies<WH6862> in the hinder parts<WH268>: he put<WH5414> them to a perpetual<WH5769> reproach<WH2781>.


btext:
Moreover he refused<WH3988> the tabernacle<WH168> of Joseph<WH3130>, and chose<WH977> not the tribe<WH7626> of Ephraim<WH669>:


btext:
But chose<WH977> the tribe<WH7626> of Judah<WH3063>, the mount<WH2022> Zion<WH6726> which he loved<WH157>.


btext:
And he built<WH1129> his sanctuary<WH4720> like high<WH7311> palaces, like the earth<WH776> which he hath established<WH3245> for ever<WH5769>. / established: Heb. founded

Pour out<WH8210> thy wrath<WH2534> upon the heathen<WH1471> that have not known<WH3045> thee, and upon the kingdoms<WH4467> that have not called<WH7121> upon thy name<WH8034>.

Our fathers<WH1> understood<WH7919> not thy wonders<WH6381> in Egypt<WH4714>; they remembered<WH2142> not the multitude<WH7230> of thy mercies<WH2617>; but provoked<WH4784> him at the sea<WH3220>, even at the Red<WH5488> sea<WH3220>.

He rebuked<WH1605> the Red<WH5488> sea<WH3220> also, and it was dried up<WH2717>: so he led<WH3212> them through the depths<WH8415>, as through the wilderness<WH4057>.

They envied<WH7065> Moses<WH4872> also in the camp<WH4264>, and Aaron<WH175> the saint<WH6918> of the LORD<WH3068>.


btext:
The earth<WH776> opened<WH6605> and swallowed up<WH1104> Dathan<WH1885>, and covered<WH3680> the company<WH5712> of Abiram<WH48>.


btext:
And a fire<WH784> was kindled<WH1197> in their company<WH5712>; the flame<WH3852> burned up<WH3857> the wicked<WH7563>.


btext:
Thus they changed<WH4171> their glory<WH3519> into the similitude<WH8403> of an ox<WH7794> that eateth<WH398> grass<WH6212>.


btext:
They forgat<WH7911> God<WH410> their saviour<WH3467>, which had done<WH6213> great things<WH1419> in Egypt<WH4714>;


btext:
Wondrous works<WH6381> in the land<WH776> of Ham<WH2526>, and terrible things<WH3372> by the Red<WH5488> sea<WH3220>.


btext:
Therefore he said<WH559> that he would destroy<WH8045> them, had not<WH3884> Moses<WH4872> his chosen<WH972> stood<WH5975> before<WH6440> him in the breach<WH6556>, to turn away<WH7725> his wrath<WH2534>, lest he should destroy<WH7843> them.

btext:
But murmured<WH7279> in their tents<WH168>, and hearkened<WH8085> not unto the voice<WH6963> of the LORD<WH3068>.

Therefore he lifted up<WH5375> his hand<WH3027> against them, to overthrow<WH5307> them in the wilderness<WH4057>: / to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall

To overthrow<WH5307> their seed<WH2233> also among the nations<WH1471>, and to scatter<WH2219> them in the lands<WH776>. / to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall


btext:
They joined<WH6775> themselves also unto Baalpeor<WH1187>, and ate<WH398> the sacrifices<WH2077> of the dead<WH4191>.


btext:
Thus they provoked him to anger<WH3707> with their inventions<WH4611>: and the plague<WH4046> brake in<WH6555> upon them.


btext:
Then stood up<WH5975> Phinehas<WH6372>, and executed judgment<WH6419>: and so the plague<WH4046> was stayed<WH6113>.


btext:
And that was counted<WH2803> unto him for righteousness<WH6666> unto all<WH1755> generations<WH1755> for<WH5704> evermore<WH5769>.


btext:
They angered<WH7107> him also at the waters<WH4325> of strife<WH4808><WH4809>, so that it went ill<WH3415> with Moses<WH4872> for their sakes:


btext:
Because they provoked<WH4784> his spirit<WH7307>, so that he spake unadvisedly<WH981> with his lips<WH8193>.


btext:
They did not destroy<WH8045> the nations<WH5971>, concerning whom the LORD<WH3068> commanded<WH559> them:


btext:

btext:
Then they cried<WH6817> unto the LORD<WH3068> in their trouble<WH6862>, and he delivered<WH5337> them out of their distresses<WH4691>.


btext:
And he led them forth<WH1869> by the right<WH3477> way<WH1870>, that they might go<WH3212> to a city<WH5892> of habitation<WH4186>.


btext:
Oh that men would praise<WH3034> the LORD<WH3068> for his goodness<WH2617>, and for his wonderful works<WH6381> to the children<WH1121> of men<WH120>!

btext:
Therefore he brought down<WH3665> their heart<WH3820> with labour<WH5999>; they fell down<WH3782>, and there was none to help<WH5826>.


btext:
Then they cried<WH2199> unto the LORD<WH3068> in their trouble<WH6862>, and he saved<WH3467> them out of their distresses<WH4691>.


btext:
He brought them out<WH3318> of darkness<WH2822> and the shadow of death<WH6757>, and brake<WH5423> their bands<WH4147> in sunder<WH5423>.


btext:
For he hath broken<WH7665> the gates<WH1817> of brass<WH5178>, and cut<WH1438> the bars<WH1280> of iron<WH1270> in sunder<WH1438>.

He sent<WH7971> his word<WH1697>, and healed<WH7495> them, and delivered<WH4422> them from their destructions<WH7825>.

Then they cry<WH6817> unto the LORD<WH3068> in their trouble<WH6862>, and he bringeth them out<WH3318> of their distresses<WH4691>.

Let them exalt<WH7311> him also in the congregation<WH6951> of the people<WH5971>, and praise<WH1984> him in the assembly<WH4186> of the elders<WH2205>.

How many are the days<WH3117> of thy servant<WH5650>? when wilt thou execute<WH6213> judgment<WH4941> on them that persecute<WH7291> me?


btext:
All thy commandments<WH4687> are faithful<WH530>: they persecute<WH7291> me wrongfully<WH8267>; help<WH5826> thou me. / faithful: Heb. faithfulness


btext:
They had almost<WH4592> consumed<WH3615> me upon earth<WH776>; but I forsook<WH5800> not thy precepts<WH6490>.


btext:
Quicken<WH2421> me after thy lovingkindness<WH2617>; so shall I keep<WH8104> the testimony<WH5715> of thy mouth<WH6310>.


btext:
Thy faithfulness<WH530> is unto all<WH1755> generations<WH1755>: thou hast established<WH3559> the earth<WH776>, and it abideth<WH5975>. / unto…: Heb. to generation and generation / abideth: Heb. standeth


btext:
They continue<WH5975> this day<WH3117> according to thine ordinances<WH4941>: for all are thy servants<WH5650>.

Unless<WH3884> thy law<WH8451> had been my delights<WH8191>, I should then have perished<WH6> in mine affliction<WH6040>.


btext:
I will never<WH5769> forget<WH7911> thy precepts<WH6490>: for with them thou hast quickened<WH2421> me.


btext:
The wicked<WH7563> have waited<WH6960> for me to destroy<WH6> me: but I will consider<WH995> thy testimonies<WH5713>.


btext:
I have seen<WH7200> an end<WH7093> of all perfection<WH8502>: but thy commandment<WH4687> is exceeding<WH3966> broad<WH7342>.


btext:
Thou through thy commandments<WH4687> hast made me wiser<WH2449> than mine enemies<WH341>: for they are ever<WH5769> with me. / they…: Heb. it is ever with me


btext:
I have more understanding<WH7919> than all my teachers<WH3925>: for thy testimonies<WH5715> are my meditation<WH7881>.


btext:
I have refrained<WH3607> my feet<WH7272> from every evil<WH7451> way<WH734>, that I might keep<WH8104> thy word<WH1697>.


btext:
How sweet<WH4452> are thy words<WH565> unto my taste<WH2441>! yea, sweeter than honey<WH1706> to my mouth<WH6310>! / taste: Heb. palate


btext:
Through thy precepts<WH6490> I get understanding<WH995>: therefore I hate<WH8130> every false<WH8267> way<WH734>.

NUN. Thy word<WH1697> is a lamp<WH5216> unto my feet<WH7272>, and a light<WH216> unto my path<WH5410>. / lamp: or, candle


btext:
I have sworn<WH7650>, and I will perform<WH6965> it, that I will keep<WH8104> thy righteous<WH6664> judgments<WH4941>.


btext:
I am afflicted<WH6031> very much<WH3966>: quicken<WH2421> me, O LORD<WH3068>, according unto thy word<WH1697>.


btext:
Accept<WH7521>, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings<WH5071> of my mouth<WH6310>, O LORD<WH3068>, and teach<WH3925> me thy judgments<WH4941>.


btext:
My soul<WH5315> is continually<WH8548> in my hand<WH3709>: yet do I not forget<WH7911> thy law<WH8451>.


btext:
The wicked<WH7563> have laid<WH5414> a snare<WH6341> for me: yet I erred<WH8582> not from thy precepts<WH6490>.


btext:
Thy testimonies<WH5715> have I taken as an heritage<WH5157> for ever<WH5769>: for they are the rejoicing<WH8342> of my heart<WH3820>.


btext:
I have inclined<WH5186> mine heart<WH3820> to perform<WH6213> thy statutes<WH2706> alway<WH5769>, even unto the end<WH6118>. / to perform: Heb. to do


btext:
Depart<WH5493> from me, ye evildoers<WH7489>: for I will keep<WH5341> the commandments<WH4687> of my God<WH430>.


btext:
Uphold<WH5564> me according unto thy word<WH565>, that I may live<WH2421>: and let me not be ashamed<WH954> of my hope<WH7664>.


btext:
Hold thou me up<WH5582>, and I shall be safe<WH3467>: and I will have respect<WH8159> unto thy statutes<WH2706> continually<WH8548>.


btext:
Thou hast trodden down<WH5541> all them that err<WH7686> from thy statutes<WH2706>: for their deceit<WH8649> is falsehood<WH8267>.


btext:
Thou puttest away<WH7673> all the wicked<WH7563> of the earth<WH776> like dross<WH5509>: therefore I love<WH157> thy testimonies<WH5713>. / puttest…: Heb. causest to cease


btext:
My flesh<WH1320> trembleth<WH5568> for fear<WH6343> of thee; and I am afraid<WH3372> of thy judgments<WH4941>.


btext:
AIN. I have done<WH6213> judgment<WH4941> and justice<WH6664>: leave<WH3240> me not to mine oppressors<WH6231>.
