¹⁴ And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

¹⁷ Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah:

³ For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

¹⁰ and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹ And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

¹² that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

²⁸ And even as they refused to have God in `their' knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

²³ He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

⁴⁵ But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear `them' not, because ye are not of God.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

³⁷ And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

¹⁵ He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad.

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; `But' the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

¹¹ He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

⁴ The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, `saith', He will not require `it'. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
