Chapter 16 56 In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them.57 He searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; he hath measured the sea, and what it containeth.58 He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters.59 He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault; upon the waters hath he founded it.60 In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down from the high rocks to water the earth.61 He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding.62 Yea and the Spirit of Almighty God, which made all things, and searcheth out all hidden things in the secrets of the earth,63 Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in your hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin.64 Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and he will put you all to shame.65 And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that day.66 What will ye do? or how will ye hide your sins before God and his angels?67 Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.68 For, behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed you, being idle, with things offered unto idols.69 And they that consent unto them shall be had in derision and in reproach, and trodden under foot.70 For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.71 They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoiling and destroying those that fear the Lord.72 For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses.73 Then shall they be known, who are my chosen; and they shall be tried as the gold in the fire.74 Hear, O ye my beloved, saith the Lord: behold, the days of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same.75 Be ye not afraid neither doubt; for God is your guide,76 And the guide of them who keep my commandments and precepts, saith the Lord God: let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your iniquities lift up themselves.77 Woe be unto them that are bound with their sins, and covered with their iniquities like as a field is covered over with bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through!78 It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be consumed therewith.
