Why H4100 do the heathen H1471 rage, H7283 and the people H3816 imagine H1897 a vain H7385 thing?

Let us break H5423 their bands H4147 asunder, and cast H7993 away their cords H5688 from us.

The heathen H1471 are sunk H2883 down in the pit H7845 that they made: H6213 in the net H7568 which H2098 they hid H2934 is their own foot H7272 taken. H3920

Come H3051 on, let us deal wisely H2449 with them; lest H6435 they multiply, H7235 and it come H1961 to pass, that, when H3588 there falls H7122 out any war, H4421 they join H3254 also H1571 to our enemies, H8130 and fight H3898 against us, and so get H5927 them up out of the land. H776

But the more H3651 they afflicted H6031 them, the more H3651 they multiplied H7235 and grew. H6555 And they were grieved H6973 because H6440 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

And one told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 Ahithophel H302 is among the conspirators H7194 with Absalom. H53 And David H1732 said, H559 O LORD, H3068 I pray H4994 you, turn the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel H302 into foolishness. H5528

But if H518 you return H7725 to the city, H5892 and say H559 to Absalom, H53 I will be your servant, H5650 O king; H4428 as I have been H1961 your father's H1 servant H5650 till now, H227 so will I now H6258 also be your servant: H5650 then may you for me defeat H6565 the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel. H302

And Absalom H53 and all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 said, H559 The counsel H6098 of Hushai H2365 the Archite H757 is better H2896 than the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel. H302 For the LORD H3068 had appointed H6680 to defeat H6565 the good H2896 counsel H6098 of Ahithophel, H302 to the intent H5668 that the LORD H3068 might bring H935 evil H7451 on Absalom. H53

And when Ahithophel H302 saw H7200 that his counsel H6098 was not followed, H6213 he saddled H2280 his ass, H2543 and arose, H6965 and got H3212 him home H1004 to his house, H1004 to his city, H5892 and put his household H1004 in order, H6680 and hanged H2614 himself, and died, H4191 and was buried H6912 in the sepulcher H6913 of his father. H1

He disappoints H6565 the devices H4284 of the crafty, H6175 so that their hands H3027 cannot H3808 H3201 perform their enterprise. H8454

He takes H3920 the wise H2450 in their own craftiness: H6193 and the counsel H6098 of the fraudulent H6617 is carried H4116 headlong.

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

Because H3282 H3588 Syria, H758 Ephraim, H669 and the son H1121 of Remaliah, H7425 have taken evil H7451 counsel H3289 against H5921 you, saying, H559

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

Associate H7489 yourselves, O you people, H5971 and you shall be broken H2844 in pieces; and give ear, H238 all H3605 you of far H4801 countries: H776 gird H247 yourselves, and you shall be broken H2844 in pieces; gird H247 yourselves, and you shall be broken H2844 in pieces.

Take counsel H6098 together, and it shall come to nothing; H6565 speak H1696 the word, H1697 and it shall not stand: H6965 for God H410 is with us.

And the spirit H7307 of Egypt H4714 shall fail H1238 in the middle H7130 thereof; and I will destroy H1104 the counsel H6098 thereof: and they shall seek H1875 to the idols, H457 and to the charmers, H328 and to them that have familiar spirits, H178 and to the wizards. H3049

Surely H389 the princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are fools, H191 the counsel H6098 of the wise H2450 counsellors H3289 of Pharaoh H6547 is become H1197 brutish: H1197 how H349 say H559 you to Pharaoh, H6547 I am the son H1121 of the wise, H2450 the son H1121 of ancient H6924 kings? H4428

The princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are become H2973 fools, H2973 the princes H8269 of Noph H5297 are deceived; H5377 they have also seduced H8582 Egypt, H4714 even they that are the stay H6438 of the tribes H7626 thereof.

Sing, H7442 O you heavens; H8064 for the LORD H3068 has done H6213 it: shout, H7321 you lower H8482 parts of the earth: H776 break H6476 forth into singing, H7440 you mountains, H2022 O forest, H3293 and every H3605 tree H6086 therein: for the LORD H3068 has redeemed H1350 Jacob, H3290 and glorified H6286 himself in Israel. H3478

That frustrates H6565 the tokens H226 of the liars, H907 and makes diviners H7080 mad; H1984 that turns H7725 wise H2450 men backward, H268 and makes their knowledge H1847 foolish; H5528

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

Grant H5414 not, O LORD, H3068 the desires H3970 of the wicked: H7563 further H6329 not his wicked H2162 device; lest they exalt H7311 themselves. Selah. H5542
