Jeremiah 9:23 Cross References - ECB

²³ Thus says Yah Veh, O that the wise not halal in his wisdom - the mighty not halal in his might; the rich not halal in his riches:

¹⁷ and you said in your heart, My force and the might of my hand worked me this valour.

⁴ And a man of double size, named Golyath, of Gath, comes from the camp of the Peleshethiy; his height is six cubits and a span; ⁵ and he has a helmet of copper on his head and he is enrobed with a habergeon of mail; and the weight of the habergeon, five thousand shekels of copper: ⁶ and he has shinguards of copper on his feet and a dart of copper between his shoulders; ⁷ and the timber of his spear is as the beam of a weaver; and the blade of his spear is six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield goes at his face. ⁸ And he stands and calls out to the ranks of Yisra El and says to them, Why go you to line up for war? am not I a Peleshethiy and you servants to Shaul? Cut a man of yours and descend him to me: ⁹ if he is able to fight me and to smite me, then we become your servants: and if I prevail against him and smite him, then you become our servants and serve us. ¹⁰ And the Peleshethiy say, I reproach the ranks of Yisra El this day; give me a man, to fight together.

⁴² And the Peleshethiy looks around and sees David; and he despises him: for he is a lad and ruddy and of a handsome visage.

¹⁰ And Ben Hadad sends to him and says, The elohim work so to me and add also, if the dust of Shomeron suffice for palmfuls for all the people at my feet. ¹¹ And the sovereign of Yisra El answers and says, Word to him, He who girds halals not as he who loosens.

¹² He breaks down the fabrications of the subtle so that their hands not work their substance: ¹³ he captures the wise in their own craftiness; and hastens the counsel of the twisters. ¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day and grope in the noonday as in the night.

²⁴ If I set gold my hope or said to the ore, My confidence! ²⁵ if I cheer because my valuables are great and because my hand found much;

¹⁶ Neither is the sovereign saved by the abundance of valour; nor the mighty rescued by the abundance of force. ¹⁷ A horse is a falsehood for salvation; he rescues not by his great valour.

⁶ They who confide in their valuables - in the abundance of their riches halal themselves. ⁷ In redeeming, man neither redeems his brother, nor gives Elohim a koper/an atonement for him; ⁸ and esteemed is the redemption of their soul: and ceases eternally; ⁹ and still he lives in perpetuity and sees not the pit of ruin. ¹⁰ For he sees wise men die; the fool and the stupid destruct together and leave their valuables to others. ¹¹ Inwardly they think their houses are eternal and their tabernacles generation to generation; they call their soil after their own names. ¹² Humanity stays not in esteem; he is as the animals who decease. ¹³ This their way is their folly; yet their posterity is pleased with their mouth. Selah.

¹⁶ Awe not when man enriches - when the honor of his house abounds: ¹⁷ for when he dies he takes naught; his honor descends not after him. ¹⁸ For while he lives he blesses his soul; and they spread hands to you when you well-please yourself.

⁶ And the just see and awe; and laugh at him: ⁷ behold the mighty who sets not Elohim as his stronghold - who confides in the abundance of his riches - who strengthens himself in his calamity.

¹⁰ Neither confide in oppression nor rob in vain; if your valuables flourish, set not your heart.

⁴ Wealth benefits not in the day of fury; and justness rescues from death.

¹³ And I saw that wisdom advantages over folly, as far as light advantages over darkness. ¹⁴ The eyes of the wise are in his head; and the fool walks in darkness; and I also perceived that what happens to one, happens to all. ¹⁵ And I said in my heart, As happens to the fool, happens even to me. Why then am I more enwisened? And I worded in my heart, that this also is vanity. ¹⁶ For there is no memorial of the wise more than of the fool eternally; that in the days to come, all is forgotten. And how die the wise? As the fool!

¹⁹ And who knows whether he be wise or fool? - and yet dominates over all the toil I toiled wherein I enwisened myself under the sun. This is also vanity.

¹¹ I returned and saw under the sun, neither is the race to the swift nor the war to the mighty nor yet bread to the wise nor yet riches to the discerning nor yet charism to the knowing: for time and coincidence happens to all.

²¹ Ho to them, the wise in their own eyes, and discerning in their own face!

⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns?

¹² And so be it, when Adonay clips his whole work on mount Siyon and on Yeru Shalem, I visit upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the sovereign of Ashshur and the adornment of his haughty eyes. ¹³ For he said, By the force of my hand, I worked; and by my wisdom, I discerned: and I turned aside the borders of the people and plundered their treasures; and I brought down the settlers as the mighty:

⁸ And now pledge, I beseech you, to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur, and I give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to give riders on them. ⁹ And how turn you away the face of one governor of the lesser of the servants of my adoni, and confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry?

¹⁹ They cast their silver in the outways and their gold becomes excluded: their silver and their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh: they neither satisfy their souls nor fill their inwards: because it becomes the stumblingblock of their perversity.

² Son of humanity, say to the eminent of Sor, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your heart is haughty, and you say, I - El; I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas. - yet you are human, and not El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim: ³ behold, you are wiser than Dani El; naught shut up is shaded from you: ⁴ with your wisdom and with your discernment you work valuables for yourself; and work gold and silver into your treasures: ⁵ by your great wisdom and by your merchandise you abound your valuables; and you lift your heart because of your valuables. ⁶ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you give your heart as the heart of Elohim; ⁷ behold, so I bring strangers upon you - the tyrants of the goyim: and they draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and they profane your splendor: ⁸ they bring you down to the pit of ruin and you die the deaths of the pierced in the heart of the seas. ⁹ In saying, say you, I am Elohim! - at the face of him who slays you? you are but human, and not El in the hand of him who slaughters you:

⁹ and desolate and parch the land of Misrayim; and they know I - Yah Veh: because he says, The river is mine and I work it.

¹⁵ Now behold, if you are prepared, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and symphonia and all species of psalming, you fall down and prostrate to the image I made - and behold, if you prostrate not, at that same blink you are hurled midst a burning fiery furnace! Who is that Elah who liberates you from my hands?

³⁰ the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty? ³¹ While the utterance is still in the mouth of the sovereign, a voice falls from the heavens, O sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar, to you they are saying; the sovereigndom passes from you;

³⁷ Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.

¹⁸ You, O sovereign, Elyon Elah gave Nebukadnets Tsar your father a sovereigndom and greatness and esteem and majesty: ¹⁹ and from the greatness he gave him, all people, nations and tongues became agitated and terrified in front of him: whom he willed, he severed; and whom he willed, enlivened; and whom he willed, he lifted; and whom he willed, he abased: ²⁰ and when he lifted his heart and empowered his spirit in seething he was deposed from the throne of his sovereigndom, and his esteem passed from him ²¹ - expelled from the sons of men; and his heart was equated to live beings, and his whirling was with the onagers: they fed him with herbage as bulls, and his body was dyed with the dew of the heavens; until he knew that Elyon Elah is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and that he raises over it whomever he wills. ²² And you his bar, O Bel Shats Tsar, have not abased your heart even though you know all this; ²³ and you lift yourself against the Master of the heavens; and they bring the vessels of his house in front of you; and you and your nobles, your mistresses and your concubines drink fermentation in them; and you laud the elahim of silver and gold, of copper, iron, timber and stone, which neither see nor hear nor know: and Elah in whose hand your breath is, and whose all your ways are, you esteem not.

¹⁴ and the flight destructs from the swift: neither the strong strengthens his force nor the mighty rescues his soul: ¹⁵ neither stands he who manipulates the bow; nor rescues he who is swift of foot: nor rescues he his soul who rides the horse: ¹⁶ and among the mighty, he who is strong of heart flees away naked in that day - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh; and in the fire of his jealousy consumes the whole land: for he even works a hasty final finish of all who settle in the land.

²⁴ - and the disciples astonish at his words. And again Yah Shua answers them, wording, Children, how difficult for them who confide in riches to enter the sovereigndom of Elohim!

¹⁹ and say to my soul, Soul, you have vast goods laid for many years; Rest! Eat! Drink! Rejoice! ²⁰ And Elohim says to him, Thoughtless! This night your soul is required of you: so whose are those that you prepared?

²² And the public shouts, The voice of an el and not of a human! ²³ And immediately an angel of Yah Veh smites him because he gives not Elohim the glory: and he becomes eaten of maggots and expires:

²² professing themselves to be wise they became fools;

¹⁹ For it is scribed, I destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the comprehension of the comprehending. ^{Isaiah 29:14 20} Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this eon? Elohim indeed, follies he not the wisdom of this cosmos? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of Elohim the cosmos knew not Elohim through wisdom, Elohim well-approved that through the foolishness of preaching to save them who trust.

²⁷ But Elohim selects the foolish of the cosmos to shame the wise; and Elohim selects the frailties of the cosmos to shame the mighty; ²⁸ and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being: ²⁹ so that no flesh boasts in his sight.

¹⁸ Seduce not yourselves. If anyone among you thinks to be wise in this eon, may he become a fool, that he becomes wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this cosmos is foolishness with Elohim. For it is scribed, He grasps the wise in their own cunning. ²⁰ And again, Yah Veh knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain. ^{Job 5:13, Psalm 94:11, 20}

¹⁰ For befriending silver is the root of all evil: which, while some reach for, strayed from the trust and pierced themselves through with many griefs.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter zeal and strife in your hearts, neither exult nor lie against the truth. ¹⁵ - this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly, soulical, demonic. ¹⁶ For where there are zeal and strife, there are instability and every evil matter.
