⁹ Who knoweth not in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,

²⁰ that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world `to be' rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

⁶ But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

⁷ Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him `be' the glory for ever. Amen.

³⁵ And when the townclerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Diana, and of the `image' which fell down from Jupiter?

¹⁸ O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:

⁵ I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me.

⁶ And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.

¹⁸ Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

⁷ Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, he also lifteth up.

¹⁷ and `lest' thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.

¹⁸ But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as at this day.
