¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father's house,

¹¹ And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he [is] thy lord -- bow thyself to him,

¹² And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.

¹³ All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work [is] her clothing.

¹⁴ In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins -- after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee.

¹⁵ They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.

¹⁶ Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.

¹⁷ I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!

11 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.

² Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly [is] wisdom.

⁹ And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;

¹⁰ and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;

¹¹ and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

¹² And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,

¹³ and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.

¹⁴ And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,

¹⁵ and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'

¹⁶ And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

¹⁷ and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'

¹⁸ and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.

¹⁹ And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

²⁰ and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.

12 I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service;

² and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

⁴ for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,

⁵ so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

⁶ And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

⁷ or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!'

⁸ or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'
