Why H3605 at that time H2166 certain H1400 Chaldeans H3779 came H7127 near, H7127 and accused H399 H7170 the Jews. H3064

And the men H582 were afraid, H3372 because H3588 they were brought H935 into Joseph's H3130 house; H1004 and they said, H559 Because H5921 H1697 of the money H3701 that was returned H7725 in our sacks H572 at the first H8462 time H8462 are we brought H935 in; that he may seek H1556 occasion H1556 against H5921 us, and fall H5307 on us, and take H3947 us for slaves, H5650 and our asses. H2543

But his father H1 and his mother H517 knew H3045 not that it was of the LORD, H3068 that he sought H1245 an occasion H8385 against the Philistines: H6430 for at that time H6256 the Philistines H6430 had dominion H4910 over Israel. H3478

The wicked H7563 plots H2161 against the just, H6662 and gnashes H2786 on him with his teeth. H8127

The LORD H136 shall laugh H7832 at him: for he sees H7200 that his day H3117 is coming. H935

The wicked H7563 watches H6822 the righteous, H6662 and seeks H1245 to slay H4191 him.

The LORD H3068 will not leave H5800 him in his hand, H3027 nor H3808 condemn H7561 him when he is judged. H8199

An unjust H5766 man H376 is an abomination H8441 to the just: H6662 and he that is upright H3477 in the way H1870 is abomination H8441 to the wicked. H7563

Again, I considered H7200 all H3605 travail, H5999 and every H3605 right H3788 work, H4639 that for this H1931 a man H376 is envied H7068 of his neighbor. H7453 This H2088 is also H1571 vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

Then said H559 they, Come H3212 and let us devise H2803 devices H4284 against H5921 Jeremiah; H3414 for the law H8451 shall not perish H6 from the priest, H3548 nor counsel H6098 from the wise, H2450 nor the word H1697 from the prophet. H5030 Come, H3212 and let us smite H5221 him with the tongue, H3956 and let us not give heed H7181 to any H3605 of his words. H1697

Yet, LORD, H3068 you know H3045 all H3605 their counsel H6098 against H5921 me to slay H4191 me: forgive H3722 not their iniquity, H5771 neither H408 blot H4229 out their sin H2403 from your sight, H6440 but let them be overthrown H3782 before H6440 you; deal H6213 thus with them in the time H6256 of your anger. H639

For I heard H8085 the defaming H1681 of many, H7227 fear H4032 on every H5437 side. H5439 Report, H5046 say they, and we will report H5046 it. All H3605 my familiars H7965 watched H8104 for my halting, H6761 saying, Peradventure H194 he will be enticed, H6601 and we shall prevail H3201 against him, and we shall take H3947 our revenge H5360 on him.

And consulted G4823 that they might take G2902 Jesus G2424 by subtlety, G1388 and kill G615 him.

For he knew G1492 that for envy G5355 they had delivered G3860 him.

And they watched G3906 him, and sent G649 forth G649 spies, G1455 which should feign G5271 themselves G1438 just G1342 men, that they might take G1949 hold G1949 of his words, G3056 that so G1519 they might deliver G3860 him to the power G746 and authority G1849 of the governor. G2230

And the chief G749 priests G749 and scribes G1122 sought G2212 how G4459 they might kill G337 him; for they feared G5399 the people. G2992

And David H1732 behaved H7919 himself wisely H7919 in all H3605 his ways; H1870 and the LORD H3068 was with him.

And Jonathan H3083 spoke H1696 good H2896 of David H1732 to Saul H7586 his father, H1 and said H559 to him, Let not the king H4428 sin H2398 against his servant, H5650 against David; H1732 because H3588 he has not sinned H2398 against you, and because H3588 his works H4639 have been to you-ward very H3966 good: H2896

For he did put H7760 his life H5315 in his hand, H3709 and slew H5221 the Philistine, H6430 and the LORD H3068 worked H6213 a great H1419 salvation H8668 for all H3605 Israel: H3478 you saw H7200 it, and did rejoice: H8055 why H4100 then will you sin H2398 against innocent H5355 blood, H1818 to slay H4191 David H1732 without H2600 a cause? H2600

Then Ahimelech H288 answered H6030 the king, H4428 and said, H559 And who H4310 is so faithful H539 among all H3605 your servants H5650 as David, H1732 which is the king's H4428 son H2860 in law, H2859 and goes H5493 at H413 your bidding, H4928 and is honorable H3513 in your house? H1004

Said G2036 to them, You have brought G4374 this G5129 man G444 to me, as one that perverts G654 the people: G2992 and, behold, G2400 I, having examined G350 him before G1799 you, have found G2147 no G3762 fault G158 in this G5126 man G444 touching those things whereof you accuse G2723 him:

No, G235 nor G3761 yet Herod: G2264 for I sent G375 you to him; and, see, G2400 nothing G3762 worthy G514 of death G2288 is done G4238 to him.

Pilate G4091 therefore G3767 went G1831 forth G1854 again, G3825 and said G3004 to them, Behold, G2396 I bring G71 him forth G1854 to you, that you may know G1097 that I find G2147 no G3762 fault G156 in him.

But what G3739 I do, G4160 that I will do, G4160 that I may cut G1581 off G1581 occasion G874 from them which desire G2309 occasion; G874 that wherein G1722 G3757 they glory, G2744 they may be found G2147 even G2532 as we.

That you may be blameless G273 and harmless, G185 the sons G5043 of God, G2316 without G298 rebuke, G298 in the middle G3319 of a crooked G4646 and perverse G1294 nation, G1074 among G1722 whom G3739 you shine G5316 as lights G5458 in the world; G2889

I will G1014 therefore G3767 that the younger G3501 women marry, G1060 bear G5041 children, G5041 guide G3616 the house, G3616 give G1325 none G3361 occasion G874 to the adversary G480 to speak reproachfully G5484 G3059 .

Sound G5199 speech, G3056 that cannot G176 be condemned; G176 that he that is of the contrary G1727 part may be ashamed, G1788 having G2192 no G3367 evil G5337 thing to say G3004 of you.

Having G2192 your G5216 conversation G391 honest G2570 among G1722 the Gentiles: G1484 that, whereas G1722 G3759 they speak G2635 against G1909 you as evildoers, G2555 they may by your G3588 good G2570 works, G2041 which they shall behold, G2029 glorify G1392 God G2316 in the day G2250 of visitation. G1984

Having G2192 a good G18 conscience; G4893 that, whereas G1722 G3759 they speak G2635 evil G2635 of you, as of evildoers, G2555 they may be ashamed G2617 that falsely accuse G1908 your G5216 good G18 conversation G391 in Christ. G5547

If G1487 you be reproached G3679 for the name G3686 of Christ, G5547 happy G3107 are you; for the spirit G4151 of glory G1391 and of God G2316 rests G373 on G2596 you: on their part he is evil G987 spoken G987 of, but on G2596 your G5209 part he is glorified. G1392

Yet G1161 if G1487 any man suffer as a Christian, G5546 let him not be ashamed; G153 but let him glorify G1392 God G2316 on G1722 this G5129 behalf. G3313
