| Acts 13:41 | *Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you. 3 Kings 2:10.; Habacuc 1:5. | Ye despisers{ Ver. 41. Habacuc 1:5. In the Latin text, and according to the Hebrew, aspicite in Gentibus: but in the Septuagint and Greek here, idete kataphronetai.|} of the favours offered you, behold, wonder, etc. This citation is out of Habacuc, (chap. 1:ver. 5.) according to the Septuagint. The prophet, by these words, foretold to the Jews in his time the evils that would come upon them in their captivity in Chaldea, but St. Paul here applies them at least to the miseries that the incredulous Jews would incur, if they obstinately refused to believe in Christ.
