Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
Forsomuch then as
thou art righteous
thyself,
thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to
condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished.
For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because
thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be
gracious unto all.
For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.
But
thou, mastering thy power, judgest with
equity, and orderest us with great favour: for
thou mayest use power when
thou wilt.
But by such works hast
thou taught thy people that the just man should be
merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that
thou givest
repentance for sins.
For if
thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such
deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their
malice:
With how great
circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers
thou hast
sworn, and made covenants of good promises?
Therefore, whereas
thou dost chasten us,
thou scourgest our enemies a
thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.
Wherefore, whereas men have lived
dissolutely and unrighteously,
thou hast
tormented them with their own abominations.
Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason,
thou didst send a judgment to
mock them.
For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they
thought to be gods; now being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme
damnation upon them.
But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;
Shewing that
thou canst save from all danger:
yea,
though a man went to sea without art.
Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.
For
insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life;
though they
swear falsely, yet they look not to be
hurt.
But they counted our life a
pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way,
though it be by evil means.
Instead of which punishment, dealing
graciously with thine own people,
thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to
stir up their
appetite:
And in this
thou madest thine enemies
confess, that it is
thou who deliverest from all evil:
For
thou hast power of life and death:
thou leadest to the gates of
hell, and bringest up again.
Instead
whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels’ food, and
didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man’s delight, and agreeing to every taste.
That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.
For when unrighteous men
thought to
oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness, and
fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay there exiled from the eternal providence.
Only there appeared unto them a fire
kindled of itself, very
dreadful: for being much
terrified, they
thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.
For
though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being
scared with beasts that passed by, and
hissing of serpents,
Instead
whereof thou gavest them a burning
pillar of fire, both to be a guide of the unknown journey, and an
harmless sun to
entertain them honourably.
And when they had determined to
slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them,
thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.
On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things,
though they walked therein; neither melted they the
icy kind of heavenly meat that was of nature apt to
melt.
For in all things, O Lord,
thou didst magnify thy people, and
glorify them, neither
didst thou lightly regard them: but
didst assist them in every time and place.

hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good
heed what
thou speakest.

thyself, lest
thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because
thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of
deceit.

oppressor; and be not
fainthearted when
thou sittest in judgment.

thou be as the son of the most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother
doth.

thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of
vengeance.
