⁹ And I said, `I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,' And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.

³ Hot `is' my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.

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

¹⁹ Lo, my breast `is' as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

²⁰ I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.

²⁰ for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'

¹⁴ And a spirit hath lifted me up, and doth take me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah on me `is' strong.

¹¹ And with the fury of Jehovah I have been filled, (I have been weary of containing,) To pour `it' on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, An elder with one full of days,

¹⁶ and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,

⁴ and he himself hath gone into the wilderness a day's Journey, and cometh and sitteth under a certain retem-tree, and desireth his soul to die, and saith, `Enough, now, O Jehovah, take my soul, for I `am' not better than my fathers.'

⁵ And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

³⁷ And Barnabas counseled to take with `them' John called Mark,

³⁸ and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

² (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

³ he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

² this one was in the beginning with God;

³ all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.

¹⁶ for if I may proclaim good news, it is no glorying for me, for necessity is laid upon me, and wo is to me if I may not proclaim good news;

¹⁷ for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly -- with a stewardship I have been entrusted!
