¹ Of man `are' arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.

²¹ Many `are' the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.

⁹ The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth his step.

²⁴ From Jehovah `are' the steps of a man, And man -- how understandeth he his way?

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.

¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

¹⁴ `Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,

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

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.'

¹⁵ and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in his mouth, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which ye do;

¹⁶ And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,

²⁶ And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh.

²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.

³⁹ and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:

⁴⁰ and I have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;

²³ I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man `is' his way, Not of man the going and establishing of his step.

⁷ And Jehovah saith unto me, `Do not say, I `am' a youth, for to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command thee thou speakest.

⁸ Be not afraid of their faces, for with thee `am' I to deliver thee, -- an affirmation of Jehovah.'

⁹ And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, `Lo, I have put my words in thy mouth.

¹¹ And Jehovah saith unto him, `Who appointed a mouth for man? or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?

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

³⁶ Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto dishonest gain.

¹⁷ The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,

¹¹ `I beseech Thee, O Lord, let, I pray Thee, Thine ear be attentive unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto the prayer of Thy servants, those delighting to fear Thy Name; and give prosperity, I pray Thee, to Thy servant to-day, and give him for mercies before this man;' and I have been butler to the king.

²⁷ Blessed `is' Jehovah, God of our fathers, who hath given such a thing as this in the heart of the king, to beautify the house of Jehovah that `is' in Jerusalem,

³¹ And it cometh to pass at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, `The king of Israel he is,' and they turn round against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat crieth out, and Jehovah hath helped him, and God enticeth them from him,

¹ Rivulets of waters `is' the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.

¹⁶ Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
