13 He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord. |
14 He was made to reprove our thoughts. |
15 He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. |
16 We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. |
17 Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him. |
18 For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. |
