⁵⁵ and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

⁹ Crooked `is' the heart above all things, And it `is' incurable -- who doth know it?

²³ and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

³³ And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.'

⁴¹ watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

⁵¹ And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.

³ then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou -- thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!'

⁴ And those who stood by said, `The chief priest of God dost thou revile?'

⁵ and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;'

⁹ `I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved `me' many things to do,

¹⁰ which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,

¹¹ and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining `them' to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting `them' even unto strange cities.

¹⁰ out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee.

⁶ Therefore do I loathe `it', And I have repented on dust and ashes.

¹⁰ and Moses and Aaron assemble the assembly unto the front of the rock, and he saith to them, `Hear, I pray you, O rebels, from this rock do we bring out to you water?'

¹¹ and Moses lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts.

¹² And Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, `Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to them.'

⁴ And the men of David say unto him, `Lo, the day of which Jehovah said unto thee, Lo, I am giving thine enemy into thy hand, and thou hast done to him as it is good in thine eyes;' and David riseth and cutteth off the skirt of the upper robe which `is' on Saul -- gently.

⁵ And it cometh to pass afterwards that the heart of David smiteth him, because that he hath cut off the skirt which `is' on Saul,

⁶ and he saith to his men, `Far be it from me, by Jehovah; I do not do this thing to my lord -- to the anointed of Jehovah -- to put forth my hand against him, for the anointed of Jehovah he `is'.'

⁷ And David subdueth his men by words, and hath not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul hath risen from the cave, and goeth on the way;

⁸ And Abishai saith unto David, `God hath shut up to-day thine enemy into thy hand; and, now, let me smite him, I pray thee, with a spear, even into the earth at once -- and I do repeat `it' to him.'

⁹ And David saith unto Abishai, `Destroy him not; for who hath put forth his hand against the anointed of Jehovah, and been acquitted?'

¹⁰ And David saith, `Jehovah liveth; except Jehovah doth smite him, or his day come that he hath died, or into battle he go down, and hath been consumed --

¹¹ far be it from me, by Jehovah, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of Jehovah; and, now, take, I pray thee, the spear which `is' at his pillow, and the cruse of water, and we go away.'

²² And David saith, `What -- to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I `am' king over Israel?'

¹⁰ And he saith unto her, `As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.

⁴ With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

²⁹ If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,

³⁰ Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.

³¹ If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, `O that we had of his flesh, we are not satisfied.'

⁴ Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good.

⁵ For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,

⁶ Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.'

⁷ Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,

⁸ And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.

⁹ For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'

² This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness `is' more than God's?'

³ For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

⁴ I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,

⁹ concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;
