I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward {is} with him, and his work before him. {work: or, recompence}

Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong {hand}, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward {is} with him, and his work before him. {with strong...: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put {him} to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see {his} seed, he shall prolong {his} days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. {thou...: or, his soul shall make an offering}

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, {thou} that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under {her} wings, and ye would not!

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. {for you: Gr. for your souls}

They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they {are} the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of {our} faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. {author: or, beginner}

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way {that was} not good, after their own thoughts;

Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward {is} with him, and his work before him. {work: or, recompence}

Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong {hand}, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward {is} with him, and his work before him. {with strong...: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness {come} by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Many seek the ruler's favour; but {every} man's judgment {cometh} from the LORD. {the ruler's...: Heb. the face of a ruler}

They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they {are} the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

And if Christ be not risen, then {is} our preaching vain, and your faith {is} also vain.

Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
