“Judge them, God; cast them out from their counsels

For God does not thrust anyone out from himself; for “those who make themselves far from you,” he says, “will perish” (Psalm 73:27). Of the multitude of their ungodlinesses, then, thrust them out. For these, he says, they were making all the counsels against me, opposing my progress according to God; for those who persecute the soul that does what is dear to God embitter God, clearly fighting against God.

Thrust them out from the ungodliness, having made them pious. Blessedness is to fall out of every counsel.

Greek

5.11 Κρῖνον αὐτοὺς, ὁ Θεός· ἀποπε σάτωσαν ἀπὸ τῶν διαβουλιῶν αὐτῶν· κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῶν ε ξωσον αὐ τοὺς, ο τι παρεπίκρανάν σε, Κύριε. Οὐ γὰρ ἀφ' ἑαυτοῦ ὁ Θεὸς ἐξωθεῖ τινα· οἱ γὰρ μακρύνοντες ἑαυτοὺς, φησὶν, ἀπὸ σοῦ, ἀπολοῦνται· τοῦ τοίνυν πλήθους τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῶν ε ξωσον αὐτούς. Ταῦτα γὰρ, φησὶ, πάντα τὰ διαβούλια κατ' ἐμοῦ ἐποι οῦντο, τῇ κατὰ Θεόν μου προκοπῇ ἐναν τιούμενοι· οἱ γὰρ διώκοντες τὴν φίλα τῷ Θεῷ πράττουσαν ψυχὴν, Θεὸν παραπικραί νουσι, θεομαχοῦντες σαφῶς. – Εξωσον αὐ τοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς ἀσεβείας, εὐσεβεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐρ γασάμενος. –Μακαριότης ἐστὶ, βουλῆς πά σης ἐκπεσεῖν.
