CHAP. XVI.
1 It is better to haue none then many lewd children. 6 The wicked are not spared for their number. 12 Both the wrath and the mercy of the Lord are great. 17 The wicked cannot be hid. 20 Gods workes are vnsearchable.
1Desire not a multitude of vnprofitable children, neither delight in vngodly sonnes.
2Though they multiply, reioyce not in them, except the feare of the Lord be with them.
4For by one that hath vnderstanding, shall the city be replenished, but the kindred of the wicked, shall speedily become desolate.4
5Many such things haue I seene with mine eyes, and mine eare hath heard greater things then these.
6In the congregation of the vngodly, shall a fire be kindled, and in a rebellious nation, wrath is set on fire.6
7Hee was not pacified towards the olde giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishnesse.7
8Neither spared he the place where Lot soiourned, but abhorred them for their pride.8
9Hee pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away in their sinnes.
10Nor the sixe hundreth thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardnesse of their hearts.10
11And if there be one stiffe-necked among the people, it is marueile, if he escape vnpunished; for mercy and wrath are with him, hee is mighty to forgiue, and to powre out displeasure.11
12As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: he iudgeth a man according to his workes.
13The sinner shall not escape with his spoiles, and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate.
14Make way for euery worke of mercy: for euery man shall finde according to his workes.
16His mercy is manifest to euery creature, and hee hath separated his light from the darkenesse with an Adamant.16
18Behold, the heauen, and the heauen of heauens, the deepe and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be mooued when he shall visit.18
20No heart can thinke vpon these things worthily: and who is able to conceiue his wayes?
21It is a tempest, which no man can see: for the most part of his workes are hidde.
24My sonne, hearken vnto mee, and learne knowledge, and marke my words with thy heart.
25I will shewe foorth doctrine in weight, and declare his knowledge exactly.
27Hee garnished his workes for euer, and in his hand are the chiefe of them vnto all generations: they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their workes.27
28None of them hindreth another, and they shall neuer disobey his word.
29After this, the Lord looked vpon the earth, and filled it with his blessings.
