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 an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

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

( May those who hate the LORD cower in fear before him! May they be permanently humiliated!)

The Israelites humiliated Midian; the Midianites’ fighting spirit was broken. The land had rest for forty years during Gideon’s time.

who said by the Holy Spirit through your servant David our forefather,‘ Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot foolish things?The kings of the earth stood together, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord and against his Christ.’“ For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,

I say to the proud,“ Do not be proud,” and to the wicked,“ Do not be so confident of victory!Do not be so certain you have won! Do not speak with your head held so high!

Because you rage against me, and the uproar you create has reached my ears; I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle between your lips, and I will lead you back the way you came.”

When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said,“ I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it yourselves!”

The crowd joined the attack against them, and the magistrates tore the clothes off Paul and Silas and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

Do not disregard what your enemies say, or the unceasing shouts of those who defy you.

When they heard this they became enraged and began to shout,“ Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”The city was filled with the uproar, and the crowd rushed to the theater together, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians who were Paul’s traveling companions.But when Paul wanted to enter the public assembly, the disciples would not let him.Even some of the provincial authorities who were his friends sent a message to him, urging him not to venture into the theater.So then some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had met together.Some of the crowd concluded it was about Alexander because the Jews had pushed him to the front. Alexander, gesturing with his hand, was wanting to make a defense before the public assembly.But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison,“ Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” for about two hours.After the city secretary quieted the crowd, he said,“ Men of Ephesus, what person is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image that fell from heaven?So because these facts are indisputable, you must keep quiet and not do anything reckless.For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.If then Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against someone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another there.But if you want anything in addition, it will have to be settled in a legal assembly.For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause we can give to explain this disorderly gathering.”After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

They will attack you but they will not be able to overcome you, for I will be with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.

Why do the nations rebel? Why are the countries devising plots that will fail?The kings of the earth form a united front; the rulers collaborate against the LORD and his anointed king.

And when his mind became arrogant and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.He was driven from human society, his mind was changed to that of an animal, he lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.“ But you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, although you knew all this.Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone– gods that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control your very breath and all your ways!

When the argument became so great the commanding officer feared that they would tear Paul to pieces, he ordered the detachment to go down, take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

Because you rage against me and the uproar you create has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle between your lips, and I will lead you back the way you came.”

The crowd was listening to him until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted,“ Away with this man from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live!”

The many nations massing together are as good as dead, those who make a commotion as loud as the roaring of the sea’s waves. The people making such an uproar are as good as dead, those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves.

The waves roar, O LORD, the waves roar, the waves roar and crash.

But the Jews became jealous, and gathering together some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace, they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason’s house, trying to find Paul and Silas to bring them out to the assembly.

Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags.

The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple courts, and immediately the doors were shut.

Whom have you taunted and hurled insults at? At whom have you shouted and looked so arrogantly? At the Holy One of Israel!
