If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, i cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do <i>eitheri> good or bad of mine own mind; <i>buti> what the LORD saith, that will i speak?

So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye <i>arei>: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, i come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

<i>Touchingi> the Almighty, we cannot find him out: <i>he isi> excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

Many, O LORD my God, <i>arei> thy wonderful works <i>whichi> thou hast done, and thy thoughts <i>which arei> to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: <i>ifi> i would declare and speak <i>of themi>, they are more than can be numbered.

• Glory

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, <i>wherewithi> he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

{A Song of degrees.} They that trust in the LORD <i>shall bei> as mount Zion, <i>whichi> cannot be removed, <i>buti> abideth for ever.

<i>Suchi> knowledge <i>isi> too wonderful for me; it is high, i cannot <i>attaini> unto it.

For three <i>thingsi> the earth is disquieted, and for four <i>whichi> it cannot bear:

• Eye

All things <i>arei> full of labour; man cannot utter <i>iti>: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

<i>That which isi> crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

For the grave cannot praise thee, death can <i>noti> celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; <i>andi> their hearts, that they cannot understand.

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, <i>Is therei> not a lie in my right hand?

• Idolatry

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye <i>that arei> escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god <i>thati> cannot save.

Wherefore, when i came, <i>was therei> no man? when i called, <i>was therei> none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have i no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke i dry up the sea, i make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because <i>there isi> no water, and dieth for thirst.

His watchmen <i>arei> blind: they are all ignorant, they <i>arei> all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

Yea, <i>they arei> greedy dogs <i>whichi> can never have enough, and they <i>arei> shepherds <i>thati> cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

To whom shall i speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear <i>isi> uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

They <i>arei> upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also <i>is iti> in them to do good.

O house of Israel, cannot i do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay <i>isi> in the potter's hand, so <i>arei> ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And i said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will i give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, i will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; i cannot rise and give thee.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall i do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: i cannot dig; to beg i am ashamed.
