²⁸ to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

²³ this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay;

¹⁰ Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, `My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'

²⁰ As for you, ye devised against me evil -- God devised it for good, in order to do as `at' this day, to keep alive a numerous people;

⁷ to you, then, who are believing `is' the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner,

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;

¹⁷ in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,

¹¹ in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,

²⁷ for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read -- having judged `him' -- did fulfill,

²⁸ and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

²⁹ and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken `him' down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

¹⁸ and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

⁴⁴ and he said to them, `These `are' the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.'

⁴⁵ Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

⁴⁶ and he said to them -- `Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

²² and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'

⁵⁴ how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?'

²⁴ the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.'

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed -- he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

¹³ Who hath meted out the Spirit of Jehovah, And, `being' His counsellor, doth teach Him!

²⁹ Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great!

¹⁹ Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'

³⁰ There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.

¹⁰ For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

¹³ With Him `are' wisdom and might, To him `are' counsel and understanding.
