| The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. | The Lord makes poor and makes rich, he humbles and he also exalts. |
| Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. | Anxiety in the human heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad. |
|
| A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. | A gift opens doors for the giver and wins him access to the powerful. |
| The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. | The blessing of the Lord is what brings wealth, and our toil adds nothing to it. |
| A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. | A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son gives grief to his mother. |
| Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. | Hope deferred sickens the heart, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. |
| And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. | Such hope will not be doomed to disappointment, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. |
| The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. | The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall lack. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me to tranquil streams. |
| And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. | And the one who searches hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. |
| As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. | Just as you do not know the path of the wind or how the body is formed in a woman’s womb, so you do not know the work of God, the Creator of all. |
| He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. | He has made everything suitable for its time, and he has given men a sense of past and future, but they never have the slightest comprehension of what God has wrought from beginning to end. |
| Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. | In the same way, even the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs that cannot be put into words. |
