²⁵But ye haue set at nought all my counsell, & would none of my reproofe:

¹¹But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

⁹The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?

^9*‖†The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; loe, they haue reiected the word of the LORD, and what wisedome is in them?

¹⁸And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

¹⁴The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

¹⁹Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

¹⁹Heare, O earth, behold, I will bring euill vpon this people, euen the fruit of their thoughts, because they haue not hearkened vnto my wordes, nor to my law, but reiected it.

⁸Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

^8*Euen as I haue seene, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickednsse, reape the same.

⁸He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

^8*‖Hee that soweth iniquitie, shall reape vanitie: and the rodde of his anger shall faile.

⁷Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

⁸For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

⁷Be not deceiued, God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall he also reape.

^19*Thine owne wickednesse shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reproue thee: know therefore and see, that it is an euill thing and bitter that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, saith the LORD GOD of Hostes.

³⁶But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

¹⁹¶ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

²⁰And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²¹And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

²³And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁰And there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was layde at his gate full of sores,

²¹And desiring to bee fed with the crummes which fel from the rich mans table: moreouer the dogges came and licked his sores.

²²And it came to passe that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome: the rich man also died, and was buried.

²³And in hell he lift vp his eyes being in torments, and seeth Abraham afarre off, and Lazarus in his bosome:

²⁴And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, haue mercy on mee, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.

¹⁵¶ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁶They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

¹⁹And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²³I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

²⁴They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

²⁵The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

²⁶I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

²⁷Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

²⁹O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

³⁰How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

³¹For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

³³Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

³⁴Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

³⁵To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

³⁶For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

³⁷And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

³⁸Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

³⁹See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

⁴¹If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

⁴²I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

⁴³Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

⁴⁴¶ And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

¹⁵¶ But Iesurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou art waxen fat, thou art growen thicke, thou art couered with fatnes: then he forsooke God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rocke of his saluation.

¹⁶They prouoked him to ielousie with strange gods, with abominations prouoked they him to anger.

¹⁷They sacrificed vnto deuils, ^‖not to God: to gods whom they knew not, to new gods, that came newly vp, whom your fathers feared not.

¹⁸Of the Rocke that begate thee thou art vnmindfull, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

¹⁹And when the LORD saw it, he ^‖abhorred them, because of the prouoking of his sonnes, & of his daughters.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their ende shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

²¹They haue mooued me to ielousie with that which is not god, they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: And ^*I will moue them to ielousie with those which are not a people, I will prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²²For a fire is kindled in my anger, and ^‖shall burne vnto the lowest hell, and ^‖shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines.

²³I will heape mischiefes vpon them, I will spend mine arrowes vpon them.

²⁴They shall bee burnt with hunger and deuoured with ^†burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts vpon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

²⁵The sword without, and terrour ^†within shall ^†destroy both the yong man, and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray haires.

²⁶I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease frō among men:

²⁷Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemie, lest their aduersaries should behaue themselues strangely, and lest they should say, ^‖Our hande is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

²⁸For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.

²⁹O that they were wise, that they vnderstood this, that they would consider their latter end.

³⁰How should ^*one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rocke had sold them, and the LORD had shut them vp?

³¹For their rocke is not as our Rocke, euen our enemies themselues being iudges.

³²For their vine is ^‖of the vine of Sodome, and of the fields of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.

³³Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruell venime of Aspes.

³⁴ Is not this laide vp in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures?

³⁵To me belongeth ^*vengeance, and recompence, their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamitie is at hand, and the things that shal come vpon them, make haste.

³⁶For the LORD shall iudge his people, and repent himselfe for his seruants, when he seeth that their ^†power is gone; and there is none shut vp, or left.

³⁷And he shall say, where are their gods? their Rocke in whom they trusted;

³⁸Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, & dranke the wine of their drinke offerings? let them rise vp and helpe you, and be ^†your protection.

³⁹See now, that I, euen I am he, and there is no god with mee; ^*I kill, and I make aliue: I wound, and I heale: neither is there any that can deliuer out of my hand.

⁴⁰For I lift vp my hand to heauen, and say, I liue for euer.

⁴¹If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take holde on Iudgement, I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

⁴²I will make mine arrowes drunke with blood, (and my sword shal deuoure flesh) and that with the blood of the slaine, and of the captiues, from the beginning of reuenges vpon the enemie.

^43‖Reioyce, O ^*ye nations with his people, for he will auenge the blood of his seruants, and will render vengeance to his aduersaries, and wil be mercifull vnto his land, and to his people.

⁴⁴¶ And Moses came and spake all the wordes of this song in the eares of the people, he and ^‖Hoshea the sonne of Nun.

⁸But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁸But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes.

⁵Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

⁵Yee haue liued in pleasure on the earth, and bene wanton: ye haue nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter:

¹¹¶ Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

¹²Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

¹¹¶ ^†Moab hath bene at ease from his youth, and hee hath setled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessell to vessell, neither hath he gone into captiuitie: therefore his taste remained in him, and his sent is not changed.

¹⁶And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

¹⁷And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

¹⁸And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

²⁰But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

²¹So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

¹⁶And he spake a parable vnto them, saying, The ground of a certaine rich man brought foorth plentifully.

¹⁷And he thought within himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roome where to bestow my fruits?

¹⁸And he said, This will I doe, I will pull downe my barnes, and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits, and my goods.

¹⁹And I will say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods layd vp for many yeeres, take thine ease, eate, drinke, and be merry.

²⁰But God said vnto him, Thou foole, this night ^†thy soule shal be required of thee: then whose shal those things be which thou hast prouided?

²¹So is he that laieth vp treasure for himselfe, and is not rich towards God.

²²Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

^22*Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should haue bene for their welfare, let it become a trap.

³⁸Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

³⁹But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

³⁸Now the iust shall liue by faith: but if any man drawe backe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

³⁹But wee are not of them who draw backe vnto perdition: but of them that beleeue, to the sauing of the soule.

⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
