彼曰、我舌獲勝、口為我有、誰為我主兮、

彼乃曰、我將舌戰以勝之、口為我有、誰能主之、

其言曰、我欲以舌逞強、口為我有、誰能主我、

求主矯浮薄。復使反樸拙。懲罰巧言者。剪截誇誕舌。

those who say,“ By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us— who is lord over us?”

those who say,“ With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

They say,“ We will lie to our hearts’ content. Our lips are our own— who can stop us?”

They say,“ Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own— who can be our master?”

Who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

Who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is Lord over us?”

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

They say,“ Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own— who can be our master?”

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips[ are] our own: who[ is] lord over us?

They say,“ We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?”

who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”

In the same way, the tongue is a small part of a person’s body. But it talks big. Think about how a small spark can set a big forest on fire.The tongue is also a fire. The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It makes the whole body impure. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. And the tongue itself is set on fire by hell.

Pharaoh said,“ Who is the Lord? Why should I obey him? Why should I let Israel go? I don’t even know the Lord. And I won’t let Israel go.”

“ God knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, you will know things you have never known before. Like God, you will be able to tell the difference between good and evil.”

They said,“ Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”

“ You who are now living, consider my message. I am saying,“ Have I been like a desert to Israel? Have I been like a land of deep darkness? Why do my people say,‘ We are free to wander. We won’t come to you anymore’?

But they say to God,‘ Leave us alone! We don’t want to know how you want us to live.Who is the Mighty One? Why should we serve him? What would we get if we prayed to him?’

You will hear the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, pipes and other musical instruments. When you do, fall down and worship the statue I made. If you will, that’s very good. But if you won’t, you will be thrown at once into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to save you from my power?”

He will oppose everything that is called God. He will oppose everything that is worshiped. He will give himself power over everything. He will set himself up in God’s temple. He will announce that he himself is God.
