In those H1992 days H3117 there was no H369 king H4428 in Israel, H3478 but every man H376 did H6213 that which was right H3477 in his own eyes. H5869

In those H1992 days H3117 there was no H369 king H4428 in Israel: H3478 and in those H1992 days H3117 the tribe H7626 of the Danites H1839 sought H1245 them an inheritance H5159 to dwell H3427 in; for to that day H3117 all their inheritance H5159 had not fallen H5307 to them among H8432 the tribes H7626 of Israel. H3478

And it came H1961 to pass in those H1992 days, H3117 when there was no H369 king H4428 in Israel, H3478 that there was a certain H376 Levite H3881 sojourning H1481 on the side H3411 of mount H2022 Ephraim, H669 who took H3947 to him a concubine H6370 out of Bethlehemjudah. H1035

Then the five H2568 men H582 departed, H3212 and came H935 to Laish, H3919 and saw H7200 the people H5971 that were therein, H7130 how they dwelled H3427 careless, H983 after the manner H4941 of the Zidonians, H6722 quiet H8252 and secure; H982 and there was no H369 magistrate H3423 H6114 in the land, H776 that might put H3637 them to shame H3637 in any thing; H1697 and they were far H7350 from the Zidonians, H6722 and had no H369 business H1697 with any man. H120

You shall not do H6213 after all H3605 the things that we do H6213 here H6311 this day, H3117 every man H376 whatever H3605 is right H3477 in his own eyes. H5869

Who H834 have said, H559 With our tongue H3956 will we prevail; H1396 our lips H8193 are our own: who H4310 is lord H113 over us?

Trust H982 in the LORD H3068 with all H3605 your heart; H3820 and lean H8172 not to your own understanding. H998

There is a way H1870 which seems H6440 right H3477 to a man, H376 but the end H319 thereof are the ways H1870 of death. H4194

Rejoice, H8055 O young H970 man, in your youth; H3208 and let your heart H3820 cheer H3190 you in the days H3117 of your youth, H979 and walk H1980 in the ways H1870 of your heart, H3820 and in the sight H4758 of your eyes: H5869 but know H3045 you, that for all H3605 these H428 things God H430 will bring H935 you into judgment. H4941

Woe H1945 to them that devise H2803 iniquity, H205 and work H6466 evil H7451 on their beds! H4904 when the morning H1242 is light, H216 they practice H6213 it, because H3588 it is in the power H410 of their hand. H3027

And they covet H2530 fields, H7704 and take H5375 them by violence; H1497 and houses, H1004 and take H5375 them away: H7726 so they oppress H6231 a man H1397 and his house, H1004 even a man H376 and his heritage. H5159
