And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.

And Jehovah smelled a soothing aroma. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of man, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again smite every living thing as I have done.

You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thoughts afar off.

declaring the end from the beginning, and from antiquity things which are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;

Thus says the Lord Jehovah: On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

You shall say, I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a people at peace, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. For now, O Ephraim, you have committed harlotry; Israel is defiled.

I have known you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

When they had pasture, they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten Me.

Have you drawn near with sacrifices and food offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

Indeed, you have borne the tabernacle of your king, and Chiun your images, the star of your gods, which you made for yourselves!

But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew everyone,

and had no need that anyone should bear witness of man, for He knew what was in man.

Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
