The Holy Scripture
Chapter XV
Therefore let us cleave unto them that practice peace with godliness, and not unto them that desire peace with dissimulation.
Τοίνυν κολληθῶμεν τοῖς μετ̓ εὐσεβείας εἰρηνεύουσιν, καὶ μὴ τοῖς μεθ̓ ὑποκρίσεως βουλομένοις εἰρήνην.
For He saith in a certain place This people honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me,
λέγει γάρ που: Οὗτος ὁ λαὸς τοῖς χείλεσίν με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἄπεστιν ἀπ̓ ἐμοῦ.
and again, they blessed with their mouth, but they cursed with their heart.
καὶ πάλιν: Τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐλογοῦσιν, τῇ δὲ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν κατηρῶντο.
And again He saith, They loved Him with their mouth, and with their tongue they lied unto Him; and their heart was not upright with Him, neither were they steadfast in His covenant.
καὶ πάλιν λέγει: Ἠγάπησαν αὐτὸν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτῶν ἐψεύσαντο αὐτόν, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα μετ̓ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐπιστώθησαν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ αὐτοῦ.
For this cause let the deceitful lips be made dumb which speak iniquity against the righteous. And again May the Lord utterly destroy all the deceitful lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things, even them that say, Let us magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?
διὰ τοῦτο ἄλαλα γενηθήτω τὰ χείηλ τὰ δόλια τὰ λαλοῦντα κατὰ τοῦ δικαίου ἀνομίαν. καὶ πάλιν: Ἐξολεθρεύσαι κύριος πάντα τὰ χείλη τὰ δόλια, γλῶσσαν μεγαλορήμονα, τοὺς εἰπόντας: Τὴν γλῶσσαν ἡμῶν μεγαλυνοῦμεν, τὰ χείλη ἡμῶν παῤ ἡμῖν ἐστιν: τίς ἡμῶν κύριός ἐστιν;
For the misery of the needy and for the groaning of the poor I will now arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal boldly by him.
ἀπὸ τῆς ταλαιπωρίας τῶν πτωχῶν καὶ τοῦ στεναγμοῦ τῶν πενήτων νῦν ἀναστήσομαι, λέγει κύριος: θήσομαι ἐν σωτηρίῳ,
