Professing G5335 themselves to be wise, G4680 they became G3471 fools, G3471

And even G2531 as they did not like G1381 to retain G2192 God G2316 in their knowledge, G1922 God G2316 gave G3860 them over G3860 to a reprobate G96 mind, G3563 to do G4160 those G3588 things which are not convenient; G2520

The LORD H3068 looked H8259 down from heaven H8064 on the children H1121 of men, H120 to see H7200 if there were any that did understand, H7919 and seek H1875 God. H430

Have all H3605 the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 no H3808 knowledge? H3045 who eat H398 up my people H5971 as they eat H398 bread, H3899 and call H7121 not on the LORD. H3068

God H430 looked H8259 down from heaven H8064 on the children H1121 of men, H120 to see H7200 if there were any that did understand, H7919 that did seek H1875 God. H430

Have the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 no H3808 knowledge? H3045 who eat H398 up my people H5971 as they eat H398 bread: H3899 they have not called H7121 on God. H430

Understand, H995 you brutish H1197 among the people: H5971 and you fools, H3684 when H4970 will you be wise? H7919

The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 is the beginning H7225 of knowledge: H1847 but fools H191 despise H936 wisdom H2451 and instruction. H4148

How H5704 long, H5704 you simple H6612 ones, will you love H157 simplicity? H6612 and the scorners H3887 delight H2531 in their scorning, H3944 and fools H3684 hate H8130 knowledge? H1847

For that they hated H8130 knowledge, H1847 and did not choose H977 the fear H3374 of the LORD: H3068

They would H14 none H3808 of my counsel: H6098 they despised H5006 all H3605 my reproof. H8433

When the boughs H7105 thereof are withered, H3001 they shall be broken H7665 off: the women H802 come, H935 and set them on fire: H215 for it is a people H5971 of no H3808 understanding: H998 therefore H5921 H3651 he that made H6213 them will not have mercy H7355 on them, and he that formed H3335 them will show them no H3808 favor. H2603

For my people H5971 is foolish, H191 they have not known H3045 me; they are silly H5530 children, H1121 and they have none H3808 understanding: H995 they are wise H2450 to do evil, H7489 but to do good H3190 they have no H3808 knowledge. H3045

My people H5971 are destroyed H1820 for lack H1097 of knowledge: H1847 because H3588 you have rejected H3988 knowledge, H1847 I will also reject H3988 you, that you shall be no priest H3547 to me: seeing you have forgotten H7911 the law H8451 of your God, H430 I will also H1571 forget H7911 your children. H1121

Therefore G1223 G5124 speak G2980 I to them in parables: G3850 because G3754 they seeing G991 see G991 not; and hearing G191 they hear G191 not, neither G3761 do they understand. G4920

And in them is fulfilled G378 the prophecy G4394 of Esaias, G2268 which G3588 said, G3004 By hearing G189 you shall hear, G191 and shall not understand; G4920 and seeing G991 you shall see, G991 and shall not perceive: G1492

When any G3956 one hears G191 the word G3056 of the kingdom, G932 and understands G4920 it not, then comes G2064 the wicked G4190 one, and catches G726 away G726 that which G3588 was sown G4687 in his heart. G2588 This G3778 is he which G3588 received G4687 seed G4687 by the way G3598 side. G3844

For we ourselves G2249 also G2532 were sometimes G4218 foolish, G453 disobedient, G545 deceived, G4105 serving G1398 divers G4164 lusts G1939 and pleasures, G2237 living G1236 in malice G2549 and envy, G5355 hateful, G4767 and hating G3404 one G240 another. G240

And we know G1492 that the Son G5207 of God G2316 is come, G2240 and has given G1325 us an understanding, G1271 that we may know G1097 him that is true, G228 and we are in him that is true, G228 even in his Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 This G3778 is the true G228 God, G2316 and eternal G166 life. G2222

Because G1360 the carnal G4561 mind G5427 is enmity G2189 against G1519 God: G2316 for it is not subject G5293 to the law G3551 of God, G2316 neither G3761 indeed G1063 can G1410 be.

What H4100 is the Almighty, H7706 that we should serve H5647 him? and what H4100 profit H3276 should we have, if H3588 we pray H6293 to him?

See, H2005 their good H2898 is not in their hand: H3027 the counsel H6098 of the wicked H7563 is far H7350 from me.

For the people H5971 turns H7725 not to him that smites H5221 them, neither H3808 do they seek H1875 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

Woe H1945 to them that go H3381 down H3381 to Egypt H4714 for help; H5833 and stay H8172 on H5921 horses, H5483 and trust H982 in chariots, H7393 because H3588 they are many; H7227 and in horsemen, H6571 because H3588 they are very H3966 strong; H6105 but they look H8159 not to the Holy H6918 One of Israel, H3478 neither H3808 seek H1875 the LORD! H3068

Seek H1875 you the LORD H3068 while he may be found, H4672 call H7121 you on him while he is near: H7138

I am sought H1875 of them that asked H7592 not for me; I am found H4672 of them that sought H1245 me not: I said, H559 Behold H2009 me, behold H2009 me, to a nation H1471 that was not called H7121 by my name. H8034

And the pride H1347 of Israel H3478 testifies H6030 to his face: H6440 and they do not return H7725 to the LORD H3068 their God, H430 nor H3808 seek H1245 him for all H3605 this. H2063
