James 2:19

So you're impressed with yourselves that with your emunah you can recite the kri'at Shema, nu? O you do so well… why, even the shedim have your da'as and emunah! But they shudder! + 2:19 Dt 6:4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

In Context

18But someone will say, “You have emunah and I have ma'asim.” You make known to me the Hisgalus haSod (the revelation of the mystery) of your emunah without your ma'asim, and I'll show you, Chaver, from my ma'asim, the Emunah.

20Are you willing to have da'as, O hollow man, that “Emunah” + 2:20 of dead orthodoxy unharnessed to Ma'asim, stands idle?
