For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

爾敵喧譁、憾爾者昂首兮、

爾敵譁然、逆爾之人、昂其首兮、

叛逆主之敵人喧譁、怨憾主者昂首、

蕩蕩造化主。誰能與比侔。祈主毋緘默。祈主毋長幽。

See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.

See how your enemies are growling like dogs. See how they are rising up against you.

For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads.

Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?

See how your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have acted arrogantly.

For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

See how Your enemies make an uproar; those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile.

For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

Those who hate the Lord would pretend to obey Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.

So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.

who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said,‘ Why were the nations insolent, And the peoples plotting in vain?The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against His Christ.’For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

I said to the boastful,‘ Do not boast,’ And to the wicked,‘ Do not lift up the horn;Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’ ”

Because of your raging against Me, And because your complacency has come up to My ears, I will put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

Now when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying,“ I am innocent of this Man’s blood; you yourselves shall see.”

The crowd joined in an attack against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods.

Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against You, which ascends continually.

When they heard this and were filled with rage, they began shouting, saying,“ Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s Macedonian traveling companions.And when Paul wanted to go into the assembly, the disciples would not let him.Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent word to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater.So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.But when they recognized that he was a Jew, a single outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours,“ Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”After quieting the crowd, the town clerk* said,“ Men of Ephesus, what person is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from the sky?So, since these are undeniable facts, you ought to keep calm and to do nothing rash.For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.So then, if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are in session and proconsuls are available; have them bring charges against one another.But if you want anything beyond this, it shall be settled in the lawful assembly.For indeed, we are in danger of being accused of a riot in connection with today’s events, since there is no real reason for it, and in this connection we will be unable to account for this disorderly gathering.”After saying this he dismissed the assembly.

And they will fight against you but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord.

Why are the nations restless And the peoples plotting in vain?The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers conspire together Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

But when his heart was arrogant and his spirit became so overbearing that he behaved presumptuously, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his dignity was taken away from him.He was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of animals, and his dwelling place was with the wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind, and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.Yet you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this,but you have risen up against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have been drinking wine out of them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor understand. But the God in whose hand are your life breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

And when a great dissension occurred, the commander was afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, and he ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

Because of your raging against Me And because your complacency has come up to My ears, I will put My hook in your nose And My bridle in your lips, And I will turn you back by the way that you came.

They listened to him up to this statement, and then they raised their voices and said,“ Away with such a man from the earth, for he should not be allowed to live!”

Oh, the uproar of many peoples Who roar like the roaring of the seas, And the rumbling of nations Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

The floods have lifted up, Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves.

But the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the marketplace, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and they attacked the house of Jason and were seeking to bring them out to the people.

Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own signs as signs.

Then the whole city was provoked and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice And haughtily raised your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
