10
 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed
is
every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11
 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,
it is
evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12
 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13
 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed
is
every one that hangeth on a tree:
14
 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15
 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though
it be
but a man's covenant, yet
if it be
confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16
 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17
 And this I say,
that
the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18
 For if the inheritance
be
of the law,
it is
no more of promise: but God gave
it
to Abraham by promise.
19
 Wherefore then
serveth
the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and it was
ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20
 Now a mediator is not
a mediator
of one, but God is one.
21
Â
Is
the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22
 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
To the chief Musician upon Neginah,
A Psalm
of David.
1
 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2
 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock
that
is higher than I.
3
 For thou hast been a shelter for me,
and
a strong tower from the enemy.
4
 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5
 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given
me
the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6
 Thou wilt prolong the king's life:
and
his years as many generations.
7
 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth,
which
may preserve him.
8
 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
17
 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but
be thou
in the fear of the L
ORD
all the day long.
18
 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
14
 Wherefore hear the word of the L
ORD
, ye scornful men, that rule this people which
is
in Jerusalem.
15
 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16
 Therefore thus saith the Lord G
OD
, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner
stone,
a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17
 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18
 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19
 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only
to
understand the report.
20
 For the bed is shorter than that
a man
can stretch himself
on it:
and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself
in it.
21
 For the L
ORD
shall rise up as
in
mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as
in
the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22
 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord G
OD
of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23
 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24
 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25
 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26
 For his God doth instruct him to discretion,
and
doth teach him.
27
 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28
 Bread
corn
is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break
it with
the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it
with
his horsemen.
29
 This also cometh forth from the L
ORD
of hosts,
which
is wonderful in counsel,
and
excellent in working.
29:
1
 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city
where
David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2
 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3
 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4
 And thou shalt be brought down,
and
shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5
 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones
shall be
as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6
 Thou shalt be visited of the L
ORD
of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7
 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8
 It shall even be as when an hungry
man
dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold,
he is
faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9
 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10
 For the L
ORD
hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11
 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which
men
deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it
is
sealed:
12
 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13
 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near
me
with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14
 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,
even
a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise
men
shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent
men
shall be hid.
15
 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the L
ORD
, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16
 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17
Â
Is
it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18
 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19
 The meek also shall increase
their
joy in the L
ORD
, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20
 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21
 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22
 Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23
 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24
 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
30:
1
 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the L
ORD
, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2
 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3
 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt
your
confusion.
4
 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5
 They were all ashamed of a people
that
could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6
 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence
come
the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people
that
shall not profit
them.
7
 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength
is
to sit still.
8
 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9
 That this
is
a rebellious people, lying children, children
that
will not hear the law of the L
ORD
:
10
 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11
 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
