ἡ γὰρ σοφία τοῦ κόσμου τούτου μωρία παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἐστιν γέγραπται γάρ Ὁ δρασσόμενος τοὺς σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτῶν·
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου εἰς τὸ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that that so they might take hold of his words, they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִשְּׁכֶם מִשִּׁלוֹ וּמִשֹּֽׁמְרוֹן שְׁמֹנִים אִישׁ מְגֻלְּחֵי זָקָן וּקְרֻעֵי בְגָדִים וּמִתְגֹּֽדְדִים וּמִנְחָה וּלְבוֹנָה בְּיָדָם לְהָבִיא בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.
שָׁוְא׀ יְֽדַבְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ שְׂפַת חֲלָקוֹת בְּלֵב וָלֵב יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
וַתִּשְׁלַח אִיזֶבֶל מַלְאָךְ אֶל-אֵֽלִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה-יַעֲשׂוּן אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יֽוֹסִפוּן כִּֽי-כָעֵת מָחָר אָשִׂים אֶֽת-נַפְשְׁךָ כְּנֶפֶשׁ אַחַד מֵהֶֽם׃
Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω αὐτός ἐστιν κρατήσατε αὐτόν
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
הַוּוֹת בְּקִרְבָּהּ וְֽלֹא-יָמִישׁ מֵרְחֹבָהּ תֹּךְ וּמִרְמָֽה׃
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלוֹם וְכָל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל טוֹבָה עֲצַת חוּשַׁי הָֽאַרְכִּי מֵֽעֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל וַֽיהוָה צִוָּה לְהָפֵר אֶת-עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל הַטּוֹבָה לְבַֽעֲבוּר הָבִיא יְהוָה אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶת-הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
יְֽהוָה הֵפִיר עֲצַת-גּוֹיִם הֵנִיא מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּֽים׃
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
מֵפֵר מַחְשְׁבוֹת עֲרוּמִים וְֽלֹא-תַעֲשֶׂינָה יְדֵיהֶם תּוּשִׁיָּֽה׃
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
לְכוּ-נָא הָכִינוּ עוֹד וּדְעוּ וּרְאוּ אֶת-מְקוֹמוֹ אֲשֶׁר תִּֽהְיֶה רַגְלוֹ מִי רָאָהוּ שָׁם כִּי אָמַר אֵלַי עָרוֹם יַעְרִם הֽוּא׃
Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he very dealeth subtilly.
אֵין חָכְמָה וְאֵין תְּבוּנָה וְאֵין עֵצָה לְנֶגֶד יְהוָֽה׃
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
מִי זֶה אָמַר וַתֶּהִי אֲדֹנָי לֹא צִוָּֽה׃
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
וַיִּקְבֹּץ יֵהוּא אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אַחְאָב עָבַד אֶת-הַבַּעַל מְעָט יֵהוּא יַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ הַרְבֵּֽה׃
And Jehu gathered together, all the people and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ צָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן כִּֽי-בְנֵי הַגּוֹלָה בּוֹנִים הֵיכָל לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;
(בשפתו) בִּשְׂפָתָיו יִנָּכֵר שׂוֹנֵא וּבְקִרְבּוֹ יָשִׁית מִרְמָֽה׃
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵלֲכָה נָּא וַֽאֲשַׁלֵּם אֶת-נִדְרִי אֲשֶׁר-נָדַרְתִּי לַֽיהוָה בְּחֶבְרֽוֹן׃
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
