⁵I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.

⁶And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

⁷And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

⁸And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

¹⁶For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

^16*For who hath knowen the mind of the Lord that he ^†may instruct him? But we haue the mind of Christ.

¹⁴With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

^13*†Who hath directed the spirit of the LORD, or, being his counseller, hath taught him?

^14††With whom tooke he counsell, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of iudgement? and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of vnderstanding?

¹⁰Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

¹⁰Therefore hearken vnto me, ye ^†men of vnderstanding: ^*farre bee it from God, that he should doe wickednes, and from the Almighty, that hee should commit iniquitie.

¹³Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

¹⁴If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

¹⁵All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

¹⁶If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

¹⁷Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

¹⁸Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

¹⁹How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

²⁰In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

²¹For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

²²There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

²³For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

²⁴He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.

²⁵Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

²⁶He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

²⁷Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

²⁸So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

²⁹When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

³⁰That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

³¹Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

³²That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

³³Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

¹³Who hath giuen him a charge ouer the earth? or who hath disposed ^†the whole world?

^14*If he set his heart ^†vpon man, if he gather vnto himselfe his spirit and his breath;

^15*All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turne againe vnto dust.

¹⁶If now thou hast vnderstanding, heare this: hearken to the voyce of my words.

^17†Shall euen he that hateth right, gouerne? and wilt thou condemne him that is most iust?

¹⁸ Is it fit to say to a King, Thou art wicked? and to Princes, Ye are vngodly?

^19*How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more then the poore? for they all are the woorke of his hands.

²⁰In a moment shall they die, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and passe away: and ^†the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

^21*For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.

²² There is no darkenes, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquitie may hide themselues.

²³For hee will not lay vpon man more then right; that he should ^†enter into iudgement with God.

²⁴He shall breake in pieces mighty men ^†without number, and set others in their stead.

²⁵Therefore hee knoweth their workes, and he ouerturneth them in the night, so that they are ^†destroyed.

²⁶He striketh them as wicked men, ^†in the open sight of others:

²⁷Because they turned backe ^†from him, and would not consider any of his wayes.

²⁸So that they cause the cry of the poore to come vnto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

²⁹When he giueth quietnesse, who then can make trouble? and when hee hideth his face, who then can beholde him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man onely:

³⁰That the hypocrite raigne not, lest the people be ensnared.

³¹Surely it is meete to be said vnto God, I haue borne chastisement, I will not offend any more.

³² That which I see not, teach thou me; If I haue done iniquitie, I will doe no more.

^33†Should it bee according to thy minde? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou chuse, and not I: therefore speake what thou knowest.

³⁴For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?

^34*For who hath knowen the mind of the Lord, or who hath bene his counseller?

⁵But after thy hardnesse, and impenitent heart, ^*treasurest vp vnto thy selfe wrath, against the day of wrath, and reuelation of the righteous iudgement of God:

⁸Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

^8*Wilt thou also disanul my iudgement? Wilt thou condemne mee, that thou mayest be righteous?

⁵But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

⁵But if our vnrighteousnesse commend the righteousnesse of God, what shall we say? is God vnrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speake as a man)

¹⁴What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

¹⁴What shall we say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
