| [1]He that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace offering. |
[1]Who so kepeth the lawe, bringeth offeringes inough: he that holdeth fast the comaundement, offereth the right health offering. |
| [2]He that requiteth a goodturn offereth fine flour; and he that giveth alms sacrificeth praise. |
[2]He that is thankefull and recompenceth, offereth fine floure: Who so is merciful and geueth almes, that is the right thanke offering. |
| [3]To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation. |
[3]God hath pleasure when one departeth from sinne: and to forsake vnrighteousnesse, reconcileth vs with him. |
| [4]Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord. |
[4]Thou shalt not appeare emptie before the Lorde: |
| [5]For all these things [are to be done] because of the commandment. |
[5]For al such is done because of the commaundement of God. |
| [6]The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the most High. |
[6]The offering of the righteous maketh the aulter fat, and a sweete smell is it before the highest. |
| [7]The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten. |
[7]The offering of the righteous is acceptable vnto God, and shall neuer be forgotten. |
| [8]Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands. |
[8]Geue God his honour with a chearefull heart: and keepe not backe the firstlinges of thyne handes. |
| [9]In all thy gifts shew a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness. |
[9]In all thy giftes shewe a chearefull countenaunce, and halowe thy tythes vnto God with gladnesse. |
| [10]Give unto the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye. |
[10]Geue vnto God according as he hath enriched and prospered thee: and loke what thyne hande is able, geue with a chearefull eye. |
| [11]For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much. |
[11]For the Lorde recompenceth, and geueth thee seuen times as much againe. |
| [12]Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons. |
[12]Geue no vnrighteous giftes, for such wyll he not receaue: Beware of wrong offeringes, for the Lorde is a righteous iudge, and regardeth no mans person. |
| [13]He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed. |
[13]He accepteth not the person of the poore: but he heareth the prayer of the oppressed. |
| [14]He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint. |
[14]He despiseth not the desire of the fatherlesse, nor the wydowe when she powreth out her prayer before him. |
| [15]Do not the tears run down the widow's cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall? |
[15]Doth not God see the teares that runne downe the cheekes of the wydowe? or heareth he not the complaint ouer such as make her to weepe? For from her cheekes do the teares go vp vnto heauen, and the Lord which heareth them doth accept them. |
| [16]He that serveth the Lord shall be accepted with favour, and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds. |
[16]Who so serueth God after his pleasure, shalbe accepted: and his prayer reacheth vnto the cloudes. |
| [17]The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgment. |
[17]The prayer of him that humbleth him selfe, goeth through the cloudes: till she come nye she wyll not be comforted, nor go her way tyll the highest God haue respect vnto her, geue true sentece, and perfourme the iudgement. |
| [18]For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous; |
[18]And the Lorde wyll not be slacke in comming, nor tary long, tyll he haue smitten in sunder the backes of the vnmercifull, and auenged him selfe of the heathen, tyll he haue taken away the multitude of the cruell, and broken the scepter of the vnrighteous, tyll he geue euery man after his workes, and rewarde them after their doinges, tyll he haue delyuered his people, maintayned their cause, and reioyced them in his mercie. |
| [19]Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy. |
[19]O how faire a thing is mercie in the time of anguishe and trouble? it is lyke a cloude of rayne that commeth in the time of drouth. |
| [20]Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought. |
