¹⁰ Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good.

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

²⁷ Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.

²⁵ Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

²⁶ All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed `is' for a blessing.

⁶ `In' the house of the righteous `is' abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked -- trouble.

¹³ for those such `are' false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

¹⁴ and no wonder -- for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

¹⁵ no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness -- whose end shall be according to their works.

⁸ but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

⁹ as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

⁴ and `that' because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

² this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

³ so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end?

⁴ so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

¹⁸ for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

¹⁹ liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,

²⁰ for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first,

¹⁴ `But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;

³ and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that `is' in the Christ;

⁴ for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing `it',

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;

¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

¹² `And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,

¹³ and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.

¹⁴ `Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman -- nor among your cattle;

¹⁹ And, now, let, I pray thee, my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if Jehovah hath moved thee against me, let Him accept a present; and if the sons of men -- cursed `are' they before Jehovah, for they have cast me out to-day from being admitted into the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

¹⁵ A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

¹⁶ Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

¹⁵ Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

¹¹ And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

³ Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.

²⁰ A treasure to be desired, and oil, `Is' in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.

⁸ Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him.

⁸ and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

⁹ And Saul -- who also `is' Paul -- having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him,

¹⁰ said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

¹⁵ And Moses saith unto them, `Have ye kept alive every female?

¹⁶ lo, they -- they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the company of Jehovah.
