Psalms 55:9 Cross References - Rotherham

⁹ Confuse, O My Lord, divide their speech, For I have seen violence and contention in the city;

⁷ Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech,––that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend. ⁸ So Yahweh scattered them from thence, over the face of all the earth,––and so they left off building the city. ⁹ For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel[=" Confusion"]; because, there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth,––and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.

³¹ And, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.

¹ Then said Ahithophel unto Absolom: I pray thee, let me choose for myself, twelve thousand men, and arise, and pursue David to–night; ² and let me come upon him, when, he, is weary, and weak–handed, so shall I strike him with terror, and all the people who are with him shall flee,––then will I smite the king alone: ³ that I may bring back all the people unto thee,––when all return––[save] the man whom thou art seeking, all the people, will be at peace. ⁴ And the saying was right in the eyes of Absolom, ––and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel. ⁵ Then said Absolom, I pray you, call ye Hushai the Archite also,––and let us hear what is in, his, mouth, also. ⁶ And, when Hushai came in unto Absolom, Absolom spake unto him, saying––After this manner, hath Ahithophel spoken, shall we do what he saith? if not, thou, speak. ⁷ Then said Hushai unto Absolom,––Not good, is the counsel that Ahithophel hath given––at this time. ⁸ And Hushai said––Thou, knowest thy father and his men––that, men of might, they are, and, embittered in soul, they are, like a bear bereaved of her young, in the field,––thy father also, is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. ⁹ Lo! by this time, hath, he, hidden himself in some pit, or other place,––and it shall be, as soon as he falleth upon them at the first, that he that hearkeneth for tidings will hear [of it], and will say––There is a defeat among the people that are following Absolom: ¹⁰ then will, even the son of valour himself, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, utterly melt,––for all Israel do know that, a man of might, is thy father, and that, sons of valour, are they who are with him. ¹¹ Therefore I counsel––that there be a general gathering together unto thee of all Israel, from Dan even unto Beer–sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude,––and that, thine own presence, be going on in their midst. ¹² So shall we come upon him in some place where he hath been found, yea, we, shall be upon him, as when the dew falleth upon the ground,––and there shall not be left of him, or of the men that are with him, so much as one. ¹³ But, if, into a city, he withdraw, then will all Israel bring up unto that city, ropes,––and we will drag it down unto the ravine, until there be not found in that place, so much as a small stone. ¹⁴ Then said Absolom and all the men of Israel, Better, is the counsel of Hushai the Archite, than the counsel of Ahithophel. Yahweh, indeed, had given charge to frustrate the wise counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yahweh might bring upon Absolom, ruin.

⁷ Like the casting forth by a well of its waters, So, hath she cast forth her wickedness,––Violence and destruction, are heard in her, Before my face, continually, are suffering and smiting.

¹⁴ But, among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing,––Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have, all of them, become, to me, as Sodom, And her inhabitants, as Gomorrah.

³⁷ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that have been sent unto her,––how often, would I have gathered thy children, like as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,––and ye would not! ³⁸ Lo! your house is left to you;

⁴⁵ So then the officers came unto the High–priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them––For what cause, have ye not brought him? ⁴⁶ The officers answered––Never, man spake thus! ⁴⁷ The Pharisees, therefore, answered them––Surely, ye also, have not been led astray? ⁴⁸ Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them––he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them–– ⁵¹ Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing? ⁵² They answered and said unto him––Surely, thou also, art not, of Galilee? Search and see! That, out of Galilee, a prophet is not to arise. ⁵³ [And they went, each unto his own house;

⁶ But Paul, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council––Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees:––Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be judged. ⁷ And, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng. ⁸ For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them both. ⁹ And there arose a great outcry, and certain of the Scribes of the party of the Pharisees, standing up, began to strive, saying––Nothing bad, find we in this man; ––but, if a spirit hath spoken unto him, or a messenger. . . ¹⁰ And, great dissension arising, the captain, fearing lest Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the troop to go down, and take him by force out of their midst, to bring him into the castle.
