By admin On April 9th, 20161:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” 1st Corinthians
.
73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm.
73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men.
73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.
73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily.
73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them.
73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.
73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
