Then the commander going away with the officers brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned;

but if it is from God, you cannot destroy them; lest you be found at some time to be fighting against God.

and taking it out they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall on the shoal, letting down the mast they were driven in that condition.

and fearing lest we should fall on rough places, casting out four anchors from the stern, they prayed for day.

for the heart of this people has become hard, and they hear imperfectly with their ears, and they have shut their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should cure them.
