⁴ All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the wicked `worketh' for a day of evil.

²² And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

²¹ This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;

⁷ Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.

³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him `are' the all things; to Him `is' the glory -- to the ages. Amen.

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

¹¹ `Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou -- Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.'

³⁰ That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.

³ and in covetousness, with moulded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction doth not slumber.
