A good H2896 man obtains H6329 favor H7522 of the LORD: H3068 but a man H376 of wicked H4209 devices H4209 will he condemn. H7561

And they said H559 one H376 to another, H251 Behold, H2009 this H1976 dreamer H1167 H2472 comes. H935

Come H3212 now H6258 therefore, and let us slay H2026 him, and cast H7993 him into some H259 pit, H953 and we will say, H559 Some evil H7451 beast H2416 has devoured H398 him: and we shall see H7200 what H4100 will become H1961 of his dreams. H2472

But when Esther came H935 before H6440 the king, H4428 he commanded H559 by letters H5612 that his wicked H7451 device, H4284 which H834 he devised H2803 against H5921 the Jews, H3064 should return H7725 on his own head, H7218 and that he and his sons H1121 should be hanged H8518 on H5921 the gallows. H6086

For they intended H5186 evil H7451 against H5921 you: they imagined H2803 a mischievous H4209 device, which they are not able H3201 to perform.

The LORD H3068 brings H6331 the counsel H6098 of the heathen H1471 to nothing: H6331 he makes the devices H4284 of the people H5971 of none H5106 effect. H5106

The counsel H6098 of the LORD H3068 stands H5975 for ever, H5769 the thoughts H4284 of his heart H3820 to all generations. H1755

They have said, H559 Come, H3212 and let us cut H3582 them off from being a nation; H1471 that the name H8034 of Israel H3478 may be no H3808 more H5750 in remembrance. H2142

See, H7200 this H2088 only H905 have I found, H4672 that God H430 has made H6213 man H120 upright; H3477 but they have sought H1245 out many H7227 inventions. H2810

Let us go H5927 up against Judah, H3063 and vex H6973 it, and let us make a breach H1234 therein for us, and set a king H4428 in the middle H8432 of it, even the son H1121 of Tabeal: H2870

Thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 It shall not stand, H6965 neither H3808 shall it come H1961 to pass.

He shall enter H935 peaceably H7962 even on the fattest H4924 places of the province; H4082 and he shall do H6213 that which H834 his fathers H1 have not done, H6213 nor his fathers' H1 fathers; H1 he shall scatter H967 among them the prey, H961 and spoil, H7998 and riches: H7399 yes, and he shall forecast H2803 his devices H4284 against H5921 the strong H4013 holds, H4013 even for a time. H6256

And he shall stir H5782 up his power H3581 and his courage H3824 against H5921 the king H4428 of the south H5045 with a great H1419 army; H2428 and the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be stirred H1624 up to battle H4421 with a very H5704 H3960 great H1419 and mighty H6099 army; H2428 but he shall not stand: H5975 for they shall forecast H2803 devices H4284 against H5921 him.

And consulted G4823 that they might take G2902 Jesus G2424 by subtlety, G1388 and kill G615 him.

But they said, G3004 Not on G1722 the feast G1859 day, lest G2443 G3361 there be an uproar G2351 among G1722 the people. G2992

Saying, G3004 Sir, G2962 we remember G3415 that that deceiver G4108 said, G2036 while he was yet G2089 alive, G2198 After G3326 three G5140 days G2250 I will rise G1453 again. G1453

Command G2753 therefore G3767 that the sepulcher G5028 be made G805 sure G805 until G2193 the third G5154 day, G2250 lest G3379 his disciples G3101 come G2064 by night, G3571 and steal G2813 him away, and say G2036 to the people, G2992 He is risen G1453 from the dead: G3498 so G2532 the last G2078 error G4106 shall be worse G5501 than the first. G4413

The preparations H4633 of the heart H3820 in man, H120 and the answer H4617 of the tongue, H3956 is from the LORD. H3068

A man's H120 heart H3820 devises H2803 his way: H1870 but the LORD H3068 directs H3559 his steps. H6806

The king's H4428 heart H3820 is in the hand H3027 of the LORD, H3068 as the rivers H6388 of water: H4325 he turns H5186 it wherever H5921 he will. H2654

There is no H369 wisdom H2451 nor H369 understanding H8394 nor H369 counsel H6098 against H5048 the LORD. H3068

And Joseph H3130 said H559 to his brothers, H251 Come H5066 near H5066 to me, I pray H4994 you. And they came H5066 near. H5066 And he said, H559 I am Joseph H3130 your brother, H251 whom H834 you sold H4376 into Egypt. H4714

For these H2088 two years H8141 has the famine H7458 been in the land: H776 and yet H5750 there are five H2568 years, H8141 in the which H834 there shall neither H369 be ripening H2758 nor harvest. H7105

So now H6258 it was not you that sent H7971 me here, but God: H430 and he has made H7760 me a father H1 to Pharaoh, H6547 and lord H113 of all H3605 his house, H1004 and a ruler H4910 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714

But as for you, you thought H2803 evil H7451 against H5921 me; but God H430 meant H2803 it to good, H2896 to bring H6213 to pass, H6213 as it is this H2088 day, H3117 to save H2421 much H7227 people H5971 alive. H2421

But he is in one H259 mind, and who H4310 can turn H7725 him? and what his soul H5315 desires, H183 even that he does. H6213

The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 has sworn, H7650 saying, H559 Surely H518 H3808 as I have thought, H1819 so H3652 shall it come H1961 to pass; and as I have purposed, H3289 so H3651 shall it stand: H6965

This H2063 is the purpose H6098 that is purposed H3289 on the whole H3605 earth: H776 and this H2063 is the hand H3027 that is stretched H5186 out on all H3605 the nations. H1471

For the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 has purposed, H3289 and who H4310 shall cancel H6565 it? and his hand H3027 is stretched H5186 out, and who H4310 shall turn H7725 it back? H7725

Declaring H5046 the end H319 from the beginning, H7225 and from ancient H6924 times the things that are not yet done, H6213 saying, H559 My counsel H6098 shall stand, H6965 and I will do H6213 all H3605 my pleasure: H2656

And all H3606 the inhabitants H1753 of the earth H772 are reputed H2804 as nothing: H3809 and he does H5648 according to his will H6634 in the army H2429 of heaven, H8065 and among the inhabitants H1753 of the earth: H772 and none H3809 can stay H4223 his hand, H3028 or say H560 to him, What H4101 do H5648 you?

For of a truth G225 against G1909 your holy G40 child G3816 Jesus, G2424 whom G3739 you have anointed, G5548 both G5037 Herod, G2264 and Pontius G4194 Pilate, G4091 with the Gentiles, G1484 and the people G2992 of Israel, G2474 were gathered G4863 together, G4863

For to do G4160 whatever G3745 your hand G5495 and your counsel G1012 determined G4309 before G4309 to be done. G1096

And now G3568 I say G3004 to you, Refrain G868 from these G5130 men, G444 and let G1439 them alone: G1439 for if G1437 this G5124 counsel G1012 or G2228 this G5124 work G2041 be of men, G444 it will come G2647 to nothing: G2647

But if G1487 it be of God, G2316 you cannot G3756 G1410 overthrow G2647 it; lest G3379 haply G3379 you be found G2147 even G2532 to fight G2314 against God. G2314

In whom G3739 also G2532 we have G2192 obtained G2820 an inheritance, G2820 being predestinated G4309 according G2596 to the purpose G4286 of him who works G1754 all G3956 things after G2596 the counsel G1012 of his own G848 will: G2307

Wherein G1722 G3757 God, G2316 willing G1014 more G4054 abundantly G4054 to show G1925 to the heirs G2818 of promise G1860 the immutability G276 of his counsel, G1012 confirmed G3315 it by an oath: G3727

That by two G1417 immutable G276 things, in which G3739 it was impossible G102 for God G2316 to lie, G5574 we might have G2192 a strong G2478 consolation, G3874 who G3588 have fled G2703 for refuge G2703 to lay hold G2902 on the hope G1680 set G4295 before G4295 us:

And a stone G3037 of stumbling, G4348 and a rock G4073 of offense, G4625 even to them which G3739 stumble G4350 at the word, G3056 being disobedient: G544 whereunto G1519 G3739 also G2532 they were appointed. G5087

For there are certain G5100 men G444 crept G3921 in unawares, G3921 who G3588 were before G4270 of old G3819 ordained G4270 to this G5124 condemnation, G2917 ungodly G765 men, turning G3346 the grace G5485 of our God G2316 into G1519 lasciviousness, G766 and denying G720 the only G3441 Lord G1203 God, G2316 and our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ.
