然虐之愈甚、其生愈繁、埃及人憂之、

屈抑愈甚、生育愈繁、故埃及人益忌之、

但愈磨折之、彼愈繁盛、致伊及人為以色列人甚憂忿、

But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites

The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes, (niv)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (niv)

They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand. (niv)

“ Look,” he said to his people,“ the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. (niv)

because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?If you are not disciplined— and everyone undergoes discipline— then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (niv)

So the Pharisees said to one another,“ See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!” (niv)

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord. (niv)

Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple. (niv)

Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? (niv)
