Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Jehovah hath not done all this.
He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do (his commandments): His praise endureth for ever.
