¹⁴ And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.

¹⁷ Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?

²⁹ Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

³ for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,

⁴ and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

¹² that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

⁷ because the mind of the flesh `is' enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

²³ `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

⁴⁵ `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

²⁰ for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

²⁸ and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

¹⁵ Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth joy and rejoice.

²² `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?

⁷ Fear of Jehovah `is' a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!

¹¹ He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

⁴ The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' `are' all his devices.
