¹⁰ and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking;

¹⁵ for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.

⁴ and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power --

⁵¹ `Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers -- also ye;

³⁹ and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.'

⁴⁶ The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.'

¹¹ `And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,

¹² for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth `you' to say.'

¹⁷ and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'

¹⁹ `And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;

²⁰ for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.

⁸ And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.

²⁷ And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious house `are' they.

²⁰ And I have made thee to this people For a wall -- brazen -- fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not prevail against thee, For with thee `am' I to save thee, And to deliver thee -- an affirmation of Jehovah,

¹⁸ And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;

¹⁹ and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee `am' I, -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- to deliver thee.

¹⁷ No weapon formed against thee prospereth, And every tongue rising against thee, In judgment thou condemnest. This `is' the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness from me, an affirmation of Jehovah!

¹⁸ For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

⁸ Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

¹² and now, go, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and have directed thee that which thou speakest;'
