H7725I returned[H8804] H7200, and saw[H8800] H8121under the sunH4793, that the raceH7031is not to the swiftH4421, nor the battleH1368to the strongH3899, neither yet breadH2450to the wiseH6239, nor yet richesH995to men of understanding[H8737] H2580, nor yet favourH3045to men of skill[H8802] H6256; but timeH6294and chanceH7136happeneth[H8799] to them all.
G27BelovedG4160, when I gave[G5734] G3956allG4710diligenceG1125to write[G5721] G5213unto youG4012ofG2839the commonG4991salvationG2192, it wasG318needfulG2192for me[G5627] G1125to write[G5658] G5213unto youG3870, and exhort[G5723] G1864you that ye should earnestly contend[G5738] G4102for the faithG530which was onceG3860delivered[G5685] G40unto the saints.
H3427Why do we sit still[H8802] H622? assemble[H8734] H935yourselves, and let us enter[H8799] H4013into the defencedH5892citiesH1826, and let us be silent[H8735] H3068there: for the LORDH430our GodH1826hath put us to silence[H8689] H4325, and given us waterH7219of gallH8248to drink[H8686] H2398, because we have sinned[H8804] H3068against the LORD.
H113Now therefore, my lordH3068, as the LORDH2416livethH5315, and as thy soulH2416livethH3068, seeing the LORDH4513hath withholden[H8804] H935thee from coming[H8800] H1818to shed bloodH3467, and from avenging[H8687] H3027thyself with thine own handH341, now let thine enemies[H8802] H1245, and they that seek[H8764] H7451evilH113to my lordH5037, be as Nabal.
