The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
