17
 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners,
is
therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18
 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19
 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20
 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21
 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
come
by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
3:
1
 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2
 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3
 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
4
 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if
it be
yet in vain.
5
 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you,
doeth he it
by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6
 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7
 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8
 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham,
saying,
In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9
 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.
1
 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2
 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3
 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4
 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5
 That thy beloved may be delivered; save
with
thy right hand, and hear me.
6
 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7
 Gilead
is
mine, and Manasseh
is
mine; Ephraim also
is
the strength of mine head; Judah
is
my lawgiver;
8
 Moab
is
my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9
 Who will bring me
into
the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10
Â
Wilt
not thou, O God,
which
hadst cast us off? and
thou,
O God,
which
didst not go out with our armies?
11
 Give us help from trouble: for vain
is
the help of man.
12
 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he
it is that
shall tread down our enemies.
15
 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16
 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
1
 O L
ORD
, thou
art
my [Isaiah's] God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful
things; thy
counsels of old
are
faithfulness
and
truth.
2
 For thou hast made of a city an heap;
of
a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3
 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4
 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones
is
as a storm
against
the wall.
5
 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place;
even
the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6
 And in this mountain shall the L
ORD
of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7
 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8
 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord G
OD
will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the L
ORD
hath spoken
it.
9
 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this
is
our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this
is
the L
ORD
; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10
 For in this mountain shall the hand of the L
ORD
rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11
 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth
his hands
to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12
 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low,
and
bring to the ground,
even
to the dust.
26:
1
 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will
God
appoint
for
walls and bulwarks.
2
 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
3
 Thou wilt keep
him
in perfect peace,
whose
mind
is
stayed
on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
4
 Trust ye in the L
ORD
for ever: for in the L
ORD
JEHOVAH
is
everlasting strength:
5
 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low,
even
to the ground; he bringeth it
even
to the dust.
6
 The foot shall tread it down,
even
the feet of the poor,
and
the steps of the needy.
7
 The way of the just
is
uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
8
 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O L
ORD
, have we waited for thee; the desire of
our
soul
is
to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9
 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments
are
in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10
 Let favour be shewed to the wicked,
yet
will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the L
ORD
.
11
 L
ORD
,
when
thy hand is lifted up, they will not see:
but
they shall see, and be ashamed for
their
envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
12
 L
ORD
, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
13
 O L
ORD
our God,
other
lords beside thee have had dominion over us:
but
by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14
Â
They are
dead, they shall not live;
they are
deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15
 Thou hast increased the nation, O L
ORD
, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed
it
far
unto
all the ends of the earth.
16
 L
ORD
, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer
when
thy chastening
was
upon them.
17
 Like as a woman with child,
that
draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain,
and
crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O L
ORD
.
18
 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19
 Thy dead
men
shall live,
together with
my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew
is as
the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20
 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21
 For, behold, the L
ORD
cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
27:
1
 In that day the L
ORD
with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that
is
in the sea.
2
 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
3
 I the L
ORD
do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest
any
hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4
 Fury
is
not in me: who would set the briers
and
thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5
 Or let him take hold of my strength,
that
he may make peace with me;
and
he shall make peace with me.
6
 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7
 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him?
or
is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8
 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9
 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this
is
all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10
 Yet the defenced city
shall be
desolate,
and
the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11
 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come,
and
set them on fire: for it
is
a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12
 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
the L
ORD
shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13
 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the L
ORD
in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
28:
1
 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty
is
a fading flower, which
are
on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2
 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one,
which
as a tempest of hail
and
a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3
 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4
 And the glorious beauty, which
is
on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower,
and
as the hasty fruit before the summer; which
when
he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5
 In that day shall the L
ORD
of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6
 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7
 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble
in
judgment.
8
 For all tables are full of vomit
and
filthiness,
so that there is
no place
clean.
9
 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
them that are
weaned from the milk,
and
drawn from the breasts.
10
 For precept
must be
upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and
there a little:
11
 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12
 To whom he said, This
is
the rest
wherewith
ye may cause the weary to rest; and this
is
the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13
 But the word of the L
ORD
was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and
there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
