The proud have had me greatly in derision: {yet} have I not declined from thy law.

Many {are} my persecutors and mine enemies; {yet} do I not decline from thy testimonies.

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

And them that are turned back from the LORD; and {those} that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

Because David did {that which was} right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any {thing} that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

Remember Lot's wife.

Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: {him: Heb. after him}

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: {but} peace {shall be} upon Israel.

Ye {are} witnesses, and God {also}, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

Hold up my goings in thy paths, {that} my footsteps slip not. {slip...: Heb. be not moved}

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget {it} not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

The law of his God {is} in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. {steps: or, goings}

The proud have had me greatly in derision: {yet} have I not declined from thy law.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
