Now H6258 therefore, my lord, H113 as the LORD H3068 lives, H2416 and as your soul H5315 lives, H2416 seeing the LORD H3068 has withheld H4513 you from coming H935 to shed blood, H1818 and from avenging H3467 yourself with your own hand, H3027 now H6258 let your enemies, H341 and they that seek H1245 evil H7451 to my lord, H113 be as Nabal. H5037

As God H410 lives, H2416 who has taken H5493 away H5493 my judgment; H4941 and the Almighty, H7706 who has vexed H4843 my soul; H5315

And Abner H74 said H559 to Joab, H3097 Let the young H5288 men now H4994 arise, H6965 and play H7832 before H6440 us. And Joab H3097 said, H559 Let them arise. H6965

A soft H7390 answer H4617 turns H7725 away wrath: H2534 but grievous H6089 words H1697 stir H5927 up anger. H639

The beginning H7225 of strife H4066 is as when one lets H6362 out water: H4325 therefore leave H5203 off contention, H7379 before H6440 it be meddled H1566 with.

Every purpose H4284 is established H3559 by counsel: H6098 and with good advice H8458 make H6213 war. H4421

Go H3318 not forth H3318 hastily H4118 to strive, H7378 lest H6435 you know not what H4100 to do H6213 in the end H319 thereof, when your neighbor H7453 has put you to shame. H3637

And you said, H559 I shall be a lady H1404 for ever: H5769 so H5704 that you did not lay H7760 these H428 things to your heart, H3820 neither H3808 did remember H2142 the latter H319 end of it.

Or G2228 what G5101 king, G935 going G4198 to make G4820 war G4171 against another G2087 king, G935 sits G2523 not down G2523 first, G4412 and consults G1011 whether G1487 he be able G1415 with ten G1176 thousand G5505 to meet G528 him that comes G2064 against G1909 him with twenty G1501 thousand? G5505

Or G1161 else, G1490 while the other G846 is yet G2089 a great G4183 way G4206 off, G631 he sends G649 an ambassador, G4242 and desires G2065 conditions G4314 of peace. G1515
