¹¹ Because they rebelled against the words of God, And condemned the counsel of the Most High.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

²⁵ But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof;

⁴³ Many times he delivered them, But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

⁷ Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

²⁴ You will guide me with your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

³⁹ Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

⁴⁰ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.

⁴¹ Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.

⁴² We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.

¹⁵ The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.

¹⁶ The crown is fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned.

¹⁷ For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

¹⁴ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

²⁷ for I didn't shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

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

¹⁶ As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we will not listen to you.

¹⁰ But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself fought against them.

¹¹ Then he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people, [saying], Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?

¹⁹ Who say, "Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it!"

¹⁵ Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?

¹⁶ It happened, as he talked with him, that [the king] said to him, Have we made you of the king's counsel? Stop! Why should you be struck down? Then the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.

¹⁰ Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.

¹⁶ but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

⁶ God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, But the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

¹⁸ You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men, Yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, And grieved him in the desert!

⁷ He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

⁸ That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.

⁹ He settles the barren woman in her home, As a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!

²⁴ Indeed your statutes are my delight, And my counselors.

³⁰ They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

³¹ Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own schemes.

⁵ Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread; Those who were hungry have ceased [to hunger]: Yes, the barren has borne seven; She who has many children languishes.

⁶ Yahweh kills, and makes alive: He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.

⁷ Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, he also lifts up.

⁸ He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, Inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's, He has set the world on them.
