They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that he was born blind? How then does he now see? And his parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind, but how he now sees, we know not. Or who opened his eyes, we know not. He has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself. His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.

He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from. The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man. From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us. And they cast him outside. Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God? That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee. And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them. And they cried to LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. Then the men of Judah gave a shout. And as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.

who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number, who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields, so that he sets up on high those who are low, and those who mourn are exalted to safety. He frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He takes the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night. But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty. So a poor man has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth. Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise thou the chastening of the Almighty. For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, and his hands make whole. He will deliver thee in six troubles. Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword. Thou shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue. Neither shall thou be afraid of destruction when it comes. At destruction and dearth thou shall laugh, nor shall thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For thou shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shall know that thy tent is in peace, and thou shall visit thy fold, and shall miss nothing. Thou shall know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
