And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 001 GEN 001 003 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 001 GEN 001 004 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 001 GEN 001 005 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 001 GEN 001 006 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 001 GEN 001 007 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 008 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 001 GEN 001 009 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 010 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 011 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 012 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 013 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 001 GEN 001 014 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 001 GEN 001 015 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 016 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 001 GEN 001 017 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 001 GEN 001 018 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 019 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 001 GEN 001 020 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 001 GEN 001 021 And God created great sea creatures, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 022 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 001 GEN 001 023 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 001 GEN 001 024 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and the beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 025 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 026 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 001 GEN 001 027 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 001 GEN 001 028 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 001 GEN 001 029 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. 001 GEN 001 030 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, in which is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 031 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 001 GEN 002 001 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 001 GEN 002 002 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 001 GEN 002 003 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 001 GEN 002 004 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 001 GEN 002 005 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 001 GEN 002 006 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 001 GEN 002 007 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 001 GEN 002 008 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 001 GEN 002 009 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 001 GEN 002 010 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became into four heads. 001 GEN 002 011 The name of the first is Pison: which goest around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 001 GEN 002 012 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 001 GEN 002 013 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same that goest around the whole land of Cush. 001 GEN 002 014 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: which floweth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 001 GEN 002 015 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to tend it and to keep it. 001 GEN 002 016 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 001 GEN 002 017 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die. 001 GEN 002 018 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 001 GEN 002 019 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name. 001 GEN 002 020 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 001 GEN 002 021 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place; 001 GEN 002 022 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man. 001 GEN 002 023 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 001 GEN 002 024 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 001 GEN 002 025 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 001 GEN 003 001 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 001 GEN 003 002 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 001 GEN 003 003 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 001 GEN 003 004 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 001 GEN 003 005 For God doth know that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. 001 GEN 003 006 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her; and he ate. 001 GEN 003 007 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made for themselves aprons. 001 GEN 003 008 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 001 GEN 003 009 And the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, Where art thou? 001 GEN 003 010 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 001 GEN 003 011 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 001 GEN 003 012 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate. 001 GEN 003 013 And the LORD God said to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate. 001 GEN 003 014 And the LORD God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 001 GEN 003 015 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 001 GEN 003 016 To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 001 GEN 003 017 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 001 GEN 003 018 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 001 GEN 003 019 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou shalt return to the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return. 001 GEN 003 020 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 001 GEN 003 021 For Adam also and for his wife the LORD God made coats of skins, and clothed them. 001 GEN 003 022 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man hath become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 001 GEN 003 023 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 001 GEN 003 024 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life. 001 GEN 004 001 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 001 GEN 004 002 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 001 GEN 004 003 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD. 001 GEN 004 004 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of its fat. And the LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering: 001 GEN 004 005 But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 001 GEN 004 006 And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen? 001 GEN 004 007 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And to thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 001 GEN 004 008 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 001 GEN 004 009 And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? 001 GEN 004 010 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the ground. 001 GEN 004 011 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; 001 GEN 004 012 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to thee its strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 001 GEN 004 013 And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 001 GEN 004 014 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that any one that findeth me shall slay me. 001 GEN 004 015 And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 001 GEN 004 016 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 001 GEN 004 017 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 001 GEN 004 018 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 001 GEN 004 019 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 001 GEN 004 020 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 001 GEN 004 021 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and flute. 001 GEN 004 022 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every craftsman in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. 001 GEN 004 023 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man who wounded me, and a young man for hurting me. 001 GEN 004 024 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. 001 GEN 004 025 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 001 GEN 004 026 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. 001 GEN 005 001 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 001 GEN 005 002 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 001 GEN 005 003 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 001 GEN 005 004 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 005 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 006 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 001 GEN 005 007 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 008 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 009 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: 001 GEN 005 010 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 011 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 012 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: 001 GEN 005 013 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 014 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 015 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 001 GEN 005 016 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 017 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 018 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 001 GEN 005 019 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 020 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 021 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 001 GEN 005 022 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 023 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 001 GEN 005 024 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 001 GEN 005 025 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: 001 GEN 005 026 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 027 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 028 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 001 GEN 005 029 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. 001 GEN 005 030 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 031 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 032 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 001 GEN 006 001 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 001 GEN 006 002 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all whom they chose. 001 GEN 006 003 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 001 GEN 006 004 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 001 GEN 006 005 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 001 GEN 006 006 And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 001 GEN 006 007 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them. 001 GEN 006 008 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 001 GEN 006 009 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 001 GEN 006 010 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 001 GEN 006 011 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 001 GEN 006 012 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 001 GEN 006 013 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 001 GEN 006 014 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 001 GEN 006 015 And this is the fashion in which thou shalt make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 001 GEN 006 016 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 001 GEN 006 017 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is on the earth shall die. 001 GEN 006 018 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 001 GEN 006 019 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 001 GEN 006 020 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every sort shall come to thee, to keep them alive. 001 GEN 006 021 And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 001 GEN 006 022 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 001 GEN 007 001 And the LORD said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 001 GEN 007 002 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 001 GEN 007 003 Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth. 001 GEN 007 004 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from the face of the earth. 001 GEN 007 005 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him. 001 GEN 007 006 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 001 GEN 007 007 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 001 GEN 007 008 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 001 GEN 007 009 There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 001 GEN 007 010 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 001 GEN 007 011 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 001 GEN 007 012 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 001 GEN 007 013 In the same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 001 GEN 007 014 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 001 GEN 007 015 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life. 001 GEN 007 016 And they that entered, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 001 GEN 007 017 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted above the earth. 001 GEN 007 018 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark moved upon the face of the waters. 001 GEN 007 019 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 001 GEN 007 020 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 001 GEN 007 021 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 001 GEN 007 022 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 001 GEN 007 023 And every living thing was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 001 GEN 007 024 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. 001 GEN 008 001 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters abated; 001 GEN 008 002 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 001 GEN 008 003 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 001 GEN 008 004 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 001 GEN 008 005 And the waters decreased continually till the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 001 GEN 008 006 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 001 GEN 008 007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, till the waters were dried from off the earth. 001 GEN 008 008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 001 GEN 008 009 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark. 001 GEN 008 010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 001 GEN 008 011 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 001 GEN 008 012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more. 001 GEN 008 013 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 001 GEN 008 014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 001 GEN 008 015 And God spoke to Noah, saying, 001 GEN 008 016 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 001 GEN 008 017 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth. 001 GEN 008 018 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 001 GEN 008 019 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark. 001 GEN 008 020 And Noah built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 001 GEN 008 021 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every living thing, as I have done. 001 GEN 008 022 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. 001 GEN 009 001 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth. 001 GEN 009 002 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth on the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 001 GEN 009 003 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 001 GEN 009 004 But flesh with the life of it, which is its blood shall ye not eat. 001 GEN 009 005 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man. 001 GEN 009 006 Whoever sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 001 GEN 009 007 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it. 001 GEN 009 008 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 001 GEN 009 009 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 001 GEN 009 010 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 001 GEN 009 011 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 001 GEN 009 012 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 001 GEN 009 013 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 001 GEN 009 014 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 001 GEN 009 015 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 001 GEN 009 016 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 001 GEN 009 017 And God said to Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. 001 GEN 009 018 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham was the father of Canaan. 001 GEN 009 019 These three were the sons of Noah: and from them was the whole earth overspread. 001 GEN 009 020 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard: 001 GEN 009 021 And he drank of the wine, and was drunk; and he was uncovered within his tent. 001 GEN 009 022 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside. 001 GEN 009 023 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. 001 GEN 009 024 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 001 GEN 009 025 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren. 001 GEN 009 026 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 001 GEN 009 027 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 001 GEN 009 028 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 001 GEN 009 029 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. 001 GEN 010 001 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood. 001 GEN 010 002 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 001 GEN 010 003 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 001 GEN 010 004 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 001 GEN 010 005 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 001 GEN 010 006 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 001 GEN 010 007 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 001 GEN 010 008 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 001 GEN 010 009 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 001 GEN 010 010 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 001 GEN 010 011 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 001 GEN 010 012 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 001 GEN 010 013 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 001 GEN 010 014 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim, ) and Caphtorim. 001 GEN 010 015 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, 001 GEN 010 016 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 001 GEN 010 017 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 001 GEN 010 018 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites dispersed. 001 GEN 010 019 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, to Gaza; as thou goest, to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. 001 GEN 010 020 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 001 GEN 010 021 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 001 GEN 010 022 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 001 GEN 010 023 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 001 GEN 010 024 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 001 GEN 010 025 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 001 GEN 010 026 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 001 GEN 010 027 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 001 GEN 010 028 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 001 GEN 010 029 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 001 GEN 010 030 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest to Sephar a mount of the east. 001 GEN 010 031 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 001 GEN 010 032 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. 001 GEN 011 001 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 001 GEN 011 002 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 001 GEN 011 003 And they said one to another, come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 001 GEN 011 004 And they said, come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 001 GEN 011 005 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building. 001 GEN 011 006 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be withheld from them, which they have imagined to do. 001 GEN 011 007 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 001 GEN 011 008 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they stopped building the city. 001 GEN 011 009 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 001 GEN 011 010 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 001 GEN 011 011 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 012 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 001 GEN 011 013 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 014 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 001 GEN 011 015 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 016 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: 001 GEN 011 017 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 018 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 001 GEN 011 019 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 020 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 001 GEN 011 021 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 022 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 001 GEN 011 023 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 024 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 001 GEN 011 025 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 026 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 001 GEN 011 027 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 001 GEN 011 028 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 001 GEN 011 029 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 001 GEN 011 030 But Sarai was barren; she had no child. 001 GEN 011 031 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and dwelt there. 001 GEN 011 032 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. 001 GEN 012 001 Now the LORD had said to Abram, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, to a land that I will show thee: 001 GEN 012 002 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 001 GEN 012 003 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 001 GEN 012 004 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed from Haran. 001 GEN 012 005 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went to go forth into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 001 GEN 012 006 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 001 GEN 012 007 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To thy seed will I give this land: and there he built an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him. 001 GEN 012 008 And he departed from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he built an altar to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. 001 GEN 012 009 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 001 GEN 012 010 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to dwell there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 001 GEN 012 011 And it came to pass, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 001 GEN 012 012 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 001 GEN 012 013 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 001 GEN 012 014 And it came to pass, that, when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 001 GEN 012 015 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 001 GEN 012 016 And he treated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and male donkeys, and male and female servants, and female donkeys, and camels. 001 GEN 012 017 And the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife. 001 GEN 012 018 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done to me? why didst thou not tell me that she is thy wife? 001 GEN 012 019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me for a wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 001 GEN 012 020 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. 001 GEN 013 001 And Abram returned from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 001 GEN 013 002 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 001 GEN 013 003 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai; 001 GEN 013 004 To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 001 GEN 013 005 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 001 GEN 013 006 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 001 GEN 013 007 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land. 001 GEN 013 008 And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren. 001 GEN 013 009 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou wilt depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 001 GEN 013 010 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest to Zoar. 001 GEN 013 011 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 001 GEN 013 012 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 001 GEN 013 013 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 001 GEN 013 014 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 001 GEN 013 015 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 001 GEN 013 016 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. 001 GEN 013 017 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee. 001 GEN 013 018 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD. 001 GEN 014 001 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; 001 GEN 014 002 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. 001 GEN 014 003 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 001 GEN 014 004 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 001 GEN 014 005 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 001 GEN 014 006 And the Horites in their mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness. 001 GEN 014 007 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar. 001 GEN 014 008 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar; ) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; 001 GEN 014 009 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five. 001 GEN 014 010 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain. 001 GEN 014 011 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way. 001 GEN 014 012 And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 001 GEN 014 013 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. 001 GEN 014 014 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them to Dan. 001 GEN 014 015 And he divided his men against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 001 GEN 014 016 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. 001 GEN 014 017 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale. 001 GEN 014 018 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 001 GEN 014 019 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 001 GEN 014 020 And blessed be the most high God, who hath delivered thy enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 001 GEN 014 021 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 001 GEN 014 022 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted my hand to the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, 001 GEN 014 023 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: 001 GEN 014 024 Except only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion. 001 GEN 015 001 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 001 GEN 015 002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 001 GEN 015 003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is my heir. 001 GEN 015 004 And, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, This shall not be thy heir; but he that shall come forth out of thy own loins shall be thy heir. 001 GEN 015 005 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou art able to number them: and he said to him, So shall thy seed be. 001 GEN 015 006 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 001 GEN 015 007 And he said to him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. 001 GEN 015 008 And he said, Lord GOD, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it? 001 GEN 015 009 And he said to him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a female goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. 001 GEN 015 010 And he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds he did not divide. 001 GEN 015 011 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. 001 GEN 015 012 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 001 GEN 015 013 And he said to Abram, Know certainly that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 001 GEN 015 014 And also that nation, which they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 001 GEN 015 015 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 001 GEN 015 016 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. 001 GEN 015 017 And it came to pass, that, when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 001 GEN 015 018 In that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: 001 GEN 015 019 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 001 GEN 015 020 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 001 GEN 015 021 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. 001 GEN 016 001 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bore him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 001 GEN 016 002 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 001 GEN 016 003 And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. 001 GEN 016 004 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 001 GEN 016 005 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. 001 GEN 016 006 But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she fled from her face. 001 GEN 016 007 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 001 GEN 016 008 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, from where didst thou come? and where wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 001 GEN 016 009 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. 001 GEN 016 010 And the angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 001 GEN 016 011 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 001 GEN 016 012 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. 001 GEN 016 013 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? 001 GEN 016 014 Therefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 001 GEN 016 015 And Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael. 001 GEN 016 016 And Abram was eighty and six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram. 001 GEN 017 001 And when Abram was ninety and nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 001 GEN 017 002 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 001 GEN 017 003 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 001 GEN 017 004 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 001 GEN 017 005 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 001 GEN 017 006 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come forth from thee. 001 GEN 017 007 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee. 001 GEN 017 008 And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land in which thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 001 GEN 017 009 And God said to Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 001 GEN 017 010 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every male among you shall be circumcised. 001 GEN 017 011 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. 001 GEN 017 012 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who is not of thy seed. 001 GEN 017 013 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 001 GEN 017 014 And the uncircumcised male whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. 001 GEN 017 015 And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 001 GEN 017 016 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also by her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall come from her. 001 GEN 017 017 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear? 001 GEN 017 018 And Abraham said to God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 001 GEN 017 019 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 001 GEN 017 020 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 001 GEN 017 021 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this set time in the next year. 001 GEN 017 022 And he finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. 001 GEN 017 023 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him. 001 GEN 017 024 And Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 001 GEN 017 025 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 001 GEN 017 026 In the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 001 GEN 017 027 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. 001 GEN 018 001 And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 001 GEN 018 002 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 001 GEN 018 003 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 001 GEN 018 004 Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 001 GEN 018 005 And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 001 GEN 018 006 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 001 GEN 018 007 And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 001 GEN 018 008 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate. 001 GEN 018 009 And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 001 GEN 018 010 And he said, I will certainly return to thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 001 GEN 018 011 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well advanced in years; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 001 GEN 018 012 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 001 GEN 018 013 And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old? 001 GEN 018 014 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 001 GEN 018 015 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. 001 GEN 018 016 And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 001 GEN 018 017 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 001 GEN 018 018 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 001 GEN 018 019 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 001 GEN 018 020 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 001 GEN 018 021 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know. 001 GEN 018 022 And the men turned their faces from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 001 GEN 018 023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 001 GEN 018 024 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it? 001 GEN 018 025 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 001 GEN 018 026 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 001 GEN 018 027 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I who am dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the Lord. 001 GEN 018 028 Suppose there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 001 GEN 018 029 And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Suppose there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. 001 GEN 018 030 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 001 GEN 018 031 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord: Suppose there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 001 GEN 018 032 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Suppose ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake. 001 GEN 018 033 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had finished speaking with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place. 001 GEN 019 001 And there came two angels to Sodom at evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 001 GEN 019 002 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 001 GEN 019 003 And he urged them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 001 GEN 019 004 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 001 GEN 019 005 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out to us, that we may know them. 001 GEN 019 006 And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him, 001 GEN 019 007 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 001 GEN 019 008 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 001 GEN 019 009 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one man came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed hard upon the man, Lot, and came near to break the door. 001 GEN 019 010 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 001 GEN 019 011 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 001 GEN 019 012 And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 001 GEN 019 013 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them hast become great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. 001 GEN 019 014 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law, who married his daughters, and said, Arise, depart from this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed to his sons in law as one that mocked. 001 GEN 019 015 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, who are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 001 GEN 019 016 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him outside of the city. 001 GEN 019 017 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 001 GEN 019 018 And Lot said to them, O, not so, my Lord: 001 GEN 019 019 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown to me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil should take me, and I die: 001 GEN 019 020 Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a small one: O, let me escape there, ( is it not a small one?) and my soul shall live. 001 GEN 019 021 And he said to him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for which thou hast spoken. 001 GEN 019 022 Haste thee, escape there; for I cannot do any thing till thou hast come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 001 GEN 019 023 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 001 GEN 019 024 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 001 GEN 019 025 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 001 GEN 019 026 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. 001 GEN 019 027 And Abraham rose early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: 001 GEN 019 028 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. 001 GEN 019 029 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. 001 GEN 019 030 And Lot went up from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 001 GEN 019 031 And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man on the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth: 001 GEN 019 032 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 001 GEN 019 033 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 001 GEN 019 034 And it came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 001 GEN 019 035 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 001 GEN 019 036 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 001 GEN 019 037 And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites to this day. 001 GEN 019 038 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day. 001 GEN 020 001 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 001 GEN 020 002 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 001 GEN 020 003 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, on account of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife. 001 GEN 020 004 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation? 001 GEN 020 005 Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 001 GEN 020 006 And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore I allowed thee not to touch her. 001 GEN 020 007 Now therefore restore to the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou shalt not restore her, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. 001 GEN 020 008 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid. 001 GEN 020 009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What hast thou done to us? and how have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds to me that ought not to be done. 001 GEN 020 010 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 001 GEN 020 011 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake. 001 GEN 020 012 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 001 GEN 020 013 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show to me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. 001 GEN 020 014 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife. 001 GEN 020 015 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. 001 GEN 020 016 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. 001 GEN 020 017 So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bore children. 001 GEN 020 018 For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife. 001 GEN 021 001 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken. 001 GEN 021 002 For Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 001 GEN 021 003 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. 001 GEN 021 004 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. 001 GEN 021 005 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him. 001 GEN 021 006 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. 001 GEN 021 007 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse children? for I have borne him a son in his old age. 001 GEN 021 008 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned. 001 GEN 021 009 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking. 001 GEN 021 010 Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. 001 GEN 021 011 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son. 001 GEN 021 012 And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken to her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. 001 GEN 021 013 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. 001 GEN 021 014 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 001 GEN 021 015 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 001 GEN 021 016 And she went, and sat her down apart from him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat apart from him, and raised her voice, and wept. 001 GEN 021 017 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 001 GEN 021 018 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation. 001 GEN 021 019 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad a drink. 001 GEN 021 020 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 001 GEN 021 021 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 021 022 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: 001 GEN 021 023 Now therefore swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned. 001 GEN 021 024 And Abraham said, I will swear. 001 GEN 021 025 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away. 001 GEN 021 026 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard of it, but to day. 001 GEN 021 027 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 001 GEN 021 028 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 001 GEN 021 029 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 001 GEN 021 030 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well. 001 GEN 021 031 Therefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they swore both of them. 001 GEN 021 032 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. 001 GEN 021 033 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. 001 GEN 021 034 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days. 001 GEN 022 001 And it came to pass after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 001 GEN 022 002 And he said, Take now thy son, thy only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 001 GEN 022 003 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cut up the wood for the burnt offering, and rose, and went to the place which God had told him. 001 GEN 022 004 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 001 GEN 022 005 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and return to you. 001 GEN 022 006 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. 001 GEN 022 007 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 001 GEN 022 008 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 001 GEN 022 009 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 001 GEN 022 010 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 001 GEN 022 011 And the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 001 GEN 022 012 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing to him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld from me thy son, thy only son. 001 GEN 022 013 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 001 GEN 022 014 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. 001 GEN 022 015 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven the second time, 001 GEN 022 016 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only son: 001 GEN 022 017 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 001 GEN 022 018 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 001 GEN 022 019 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. 001 GEN 022 020 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children to thy brother Nahor; 001 GEN 022 021 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, 001 GEN 022 022 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 001 GEN 022 023 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 001 GEN 022 024 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. 001 GEN 023 001 And Sarah was an hundred and twenty and seven years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. 001 GEN 023 002 And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. 001 GEN 023 003 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, 001 GEN 023 004 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. 001 GEN 023 005 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, 001 GEN 023 006 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 001 GEN 023 007 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth. 001 GEN 023 008 And he spoke with them, saying, If it is your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, 001 GEN 023 009 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace among you. 001 GEN 023 010 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the presence of the children of Heth, of all that entered the gates of his city, saying, 001 GEN 023 011 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I to thee, and the cave that is in it I give it to thee; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to thee: bury thy dead. 001 GEN 023 012 And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land. 001 GEN 023 013 And he spoke to Ephron in the presence of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. 001 GEN 023 014 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, 001 GEN 023 015 My lord, hearken to me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. 001 GEN 023 016 And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the presence of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. 001 GEN 023 017 And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the surrounding borders, were made sure 001 GEN 023 018 To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city. 001 GEN 023 019 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 023 020 And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth. 001 GEN 024 001 And Abraham was old, and well advanced in years: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 001 GEN 024 002 And Abraham said to his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: 001 GEN 024 003 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: 001 GEN 024 004 But thou shalt go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac. 001 GEN 024 005 And the servant said to him, It may be the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I needs bring thy son again to the land from which you came? 001 GEN 024 006 And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son there again. 001 GEN 024 007 The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from there. 001 GEN 024 008 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son there again. 001 GEN 024 009 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter. 001 GEN 024 010 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hands: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor. 001 GEN 024 011 And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, the time when women go out to draw water. 001 GEN 024 012 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, prosper me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 001 GEN 024 013 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 001 GEN 024 014 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will water thy camels also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and by that shall I know that thou hast shown kindness to my master. 001 GEN 024 015 And it came to pass, before he had finished speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 001 GEN 024 016 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 001 GEN 024 017 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water from thy pitcher. 001 GEN 024 018 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him a drink. 001 GEN 024 019 And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, till they have finished drinking. 001 GEN 024 020 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 001 GEN 024 021 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. 001 GEN 024 022 And it came to pass, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her wrists of ten shekels weight of gold; 001 GEN 024 023 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in? 001 GEN 024 024 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor. 001 GEN 024 025 She said moreover to him, We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in. 001 GEN 024 026 And the man bowed his head, and worshipped the LORD. 001 GEN 024 027 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left my master destitute of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren. 001 GEN 024 028 And the damsel ran, and told these things to her mother’s house. 001 GEN 024 029 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the well. 001 GEN 024 030 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well. 001 GEN 024 031 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. 001 GEN 024 032 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him. 001 GEN 024 033 And there was set food before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on. 001 GEN 024 034 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant. 001 GEN 024 035 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and male and female servants, and camels, and donkeys. 001 GEN 024 036 And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him hath he given all that he hath. 001 GEN 024 037 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: 001 GEN 024 038 But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son. 001 GEN 024 039 And I said to my master, It may be the woman will not follow me. 001 GEN 024 040 And he said to me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house: 001 GEN 024 041 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 001 GEN 024 042 And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou dost prosper my way which I go: 001 GEN 024 043 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; 001 GEN 024 044 And she saith to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed for my master’s son. 001 GEN 024 045 And before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well, and drew water: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray thee. 001 GEN 024 046 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will water thy camels also: so I drank, and she watered the camels also. 001 GEN 024 047 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her wrists. 001 GEN 024 048 And I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son. 001 GEN 024 049 And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left. 001 GEN 024 050 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak to thee bad or good. 001 GEN 024 051 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken. 001 GEN 024 052 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. 001 GEN 024 053 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things. 001 GEN 024 054 And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master. 001 GEN 024 055 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. 001 GEN 024 056 And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master. 001 GEN 024 057 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. 001 GEN 024 058 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. 001 GEN 024 059 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men. 001 GEN 024 060 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them. 001 GEN 024 061 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. 001 GEN 024 062 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country. 001 GEN 024 063 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. 001 GEN 024 064 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel. 001 GEN 024 065 For she had said to the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself. 001 GEN 024 066 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 001 GEN 024 067 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. 001 GEN 025 001 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 001 GEN 025 002 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 001 GEN 025 003 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 001 GEN 025 004 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 001 GEN 025 005 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 001 GEN 025 006 But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country. 001 GEN 025 007 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred and seventy and five years. 001 GEN 025 008 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. 001 GEN 025 009 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; 001 GEN 025 010 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. 001 GEN 025 011 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi. 001 GEN 025 012 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham: 001 GEN 025 013 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 001 GEN 025 014 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 001 GEN 025 015 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 001 GEN 025 016 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 001 GEN 025 017 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered to his people. 001 GEN 025 018 And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren. 001 GEN 025 019 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac: 001 GEN 025 020 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 001 GEN 025 021 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 001 GEN 025 022 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 001 GEN 025 023 And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be born of thee; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 001 GEN 025 024 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 001 GEN 025 025 And the first was born red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 001 GEN 025 026 And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. 001 GEN 025 027 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 001 GEN 025 028 And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. 001 GEN 025 029 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 001 GEN 025 030 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 001 GEN 025 031 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birthright. 001 GEN 025 032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright bring to me? 001 GEN 025 033 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob. 001 GEN 025 034 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. 001 GEN 026 001 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar. 001 GEN 026 002 And the LORD appeared to him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 001 GEN 026 003 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for to thee, and to thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father; 001 GEN 026 004 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give to thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 001 GEN 026 005 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 001 GEN 026 006 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: 001 GEN 026 007 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. 001 GEN 026 008 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. 001 GEN 026 009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, surely she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I should die on her account. 001 GEN 026 010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 001 GEN 026 011 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. 001 GEN 026 012 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. 001 GEN 026 013 And the man became great, and continued, and grew until he became very great: 001 GEN 026 014 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and very many servants: and the Philistines envied him. 001 GEN 026 015 For all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. 001 GEN 026 016 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. 001 GEN 026 017 And Isaac departed from there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 001 GEN 026 018 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 001 GEN 026 019 And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 001 GEN 026 020 And the herdmen of Gerar contended with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. 001 GEN 026 021 And they dug another well, and contended for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. 001 GEN 026 022 And he departed from there, and dug another well; and for that they did not contend: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. 001 GEN 026 023 And he went up from there to Beersheba. 001 GEN 026 024 And the LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. 001 GEN 026 025 And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants dug a well. 001 GEN 026 026 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. 001 GEN 026 027 And Isaac said to them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? 001 GEN 026 028 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; 001 GEN 026 029 That thou wilt do us no harm, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD. 001 GEN 026 030 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 001 GEN 026 031 And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 001 GEN 026 032 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water. 001 GEN 026 033 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day. 001 GEN 026 034 And Esau was forty years old when he took for a wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: 001 GEN 026 035 Who were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah. 001 GEN 027 001 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said to him, My son: and he said to him, Behold, here am I. 001 GEN 027 002 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: 001 GEN 027 003 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; 001 GEN 027 004 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. 001 GEN 027 005 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 001 GEN 027 006 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying, 001 GEN 027 007 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. 001 GEN 027 008 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 001 GEN 027 009 Go now to the flock, and bring me from there two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: 001 GEN 027 010 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 001 GEN 027 011 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: 001 GEN 027 012 My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 001 GEN 027 013 And his mother said to him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go bring them to me. 001 GEN 027 014 And he went, and took, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. 001 GEN 027 015 And Rebekah took the choicest raiment of her eldest son Esau, which was with her in the house, and put it upon Jacob her younger son: 001 GEN 027 016 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth part of his neck: 001 GEN 027 017 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 001 GEN 027 018 And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 001 GEN 027 019 And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. 001 GEN 027 020 And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. 001 GEN 027 021 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou art my very son Esau or not. 001 GEN 027 022 And Jacob went near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 001 GEN 027 023 And he knew him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him. 001 GEN 027 024 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 001 GEN 027 025 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he ate: and he brought him wine, and he drank. 001 GEN 027 026 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 001 GEN 027 027 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: 001 GEN 027 028 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine: 001 GEN 027 029 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. 001 GEN 027 030 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had yet scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 001 GEN 027 031 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me. 001 GEN 027 032 And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. 001 GEN 027 033 And Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. 001 GEN 027 034 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceedingly bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 001 GEN 027 035 And he said, Thy brother came deceitfully, and hath taken away thy blessing. 001 GEN 027 036 And he said, Is he not rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me twice: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? 001 GEN 027 037 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with grain and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now to thee, my son? 001 GEN 027 038 And Esau said to his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 001 GEN 027 039 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 001 GEN 027 040 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. 001 GEN 027 041 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. 001 GEN 027 042 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as concerning thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. 001 GEN 027 043 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; 001 GEN 027 044 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury shall turn away; 001 GEN 027 045 Till thy brother’s anger shall turn away from thee, and he shall forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and bring thee from there: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? 001 GEN 027 046 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these who are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me? 001 GEN 028 001 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 001 GEN 028 002 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from there of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother. 001 GEN 028 003 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 001 GEN 028 004 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land in which thou art a stranger, which God gave to Abraham. 001 GEN 028 005 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother. 001 GEN 028 006 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from there; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; 001 GEN 028 007 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram; 001 GEN 028 008 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 001 GEN 028 009 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and took to the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife. 001 GEN 028 010 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 001 GEN 028 011 And he came to a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 001 GEN 028 012 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set upon the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 001 GEN 028 013 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 001 GEN 028 014 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 001 GEN 028 015 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places where thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have promised to thee. 001 GEN 028 016 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 001 GEN 028 017 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 001 GEN 028 018 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. 001 GEN 028 019 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 001 GEN 028 020 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 001 GEN 028 021 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 001 GEN 028 022 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth to thee. 001 GEN 029 001 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. 001 GEN 029 002 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth. 001 GEN 029 003 And there were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place. 001 GEN 029 004 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, from where are ye? And they said, We are from Haran. 001 GEN 029 005 And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 001 GEN 029 006 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 001 GEN 029 007 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 001 GEN 029 008 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep. 001 GEN 029 009 And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them. 001 GEN 029 010 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 001 GEN 029 011 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 001 GEN 029 012 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father. 001 GEN 029 013 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 001 GEN 029 014 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 001 GEN 029 015 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 001 GEN 029 016 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 001 GEN 029 017 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 001 GEN 029 018 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 001 GEN 029 019 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 001 GEN 029 020 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her. 001 GEN 029 021 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her. 001 GEN 029 022 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 001 GEN 029 023 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her. 001 GEN 029 024 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. 001 GEN 029 025 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me? 001 GEN 029 026 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 001 GEN 029 027 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 001 GEN 029 028 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a wife also. 001 GEN 029 029 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 001 GEN 029 030 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 001 GEN 029 031 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 001 GEN 029 032 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 001 GEN 029 033 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 001 GEN 029 034 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband love me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 001 GEN 029 035 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and stopped bearing. 001 GEN 030 001 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. 001 GEN 030 002 And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? 001 GEN 030 003 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in to her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. 001 GEN 030 004 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for a wife: and Jacob went in to her. 001 GEN 030 005 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son. 001 GEN 030 006 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan. 001 GEN 030 007 And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son. 001 GEN 030 008 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. 001 GEN 030 009 When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob for a wife. 001 GEN 030 010 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bore Jacob a son. 001 GEN 030 011 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. 001 GEN 030 012 And Zilpah Leah’s maid bore Jacob a second son. 001 GEN 030 013 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher. 001 GEN 030 014 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes. 001 GEN 030 015 And she said to her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son’s mandrakes. 001 GEN 030 016 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me; for surely I have hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. 001 GEN 030 017 And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son. 001 GEN 030 018 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 001 GEN 030 019 And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son. 001 GEN 030 020 And Leah said, God hath bestowed on me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. 001 GEN 030 021 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 001 GEN 030 022 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 001 GEN 030 023 And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 001 GEN 030 024 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. 001 GEN 030 025 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country. 001 GEN 030 026 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. 001 GEN 030 027 And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. 001 GEN 030 028 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. 001 GEN 030 029 And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were with me. 001 GEN 030 030 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased to a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my own house also? 001 GEN 030 031 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock: 001 GEN 030 032 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from there all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire. 001 GEN 030 033 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me. 001 GEN 030 034 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. 001 GEN 030 035 And he removed that day the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hands of his sons. 001 GEN 030 036 And he set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks. 001 GEN 030 037 And Jacob took to him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and peeled white stripes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. 001 GEN 030 038 And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. 001 GEN 030 039 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle striped, speckled, and spotted. 001 GEN 030 040 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban’s cattle. 001 GEN 030 041 And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. 001 GEN 030 042 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s. 001 GEN 030 043 And the man increased exceedingly, and had many cattle, and female and male servants, and camels, and donkeys. 001 GEN 031 001 And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he obtained all this glory. 001 GEN 031 002 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. 001 GEN 031 003 And the LORD said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 001 GEN 031 004 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field to his flock, 001 GEN 031 005 And said to them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. 001 GEN 031 006 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 001 GEN 031 007 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God allowed him not to hurt me. 001 GEN 031 008 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, The striped shall be thy hire; then all the cattle bore striped. 001 GEN 031 009 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. 001 GEN 031 010 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were striped, speckled, and spotted. 001 GEN 031 011 And the angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 001 GEN 031 012 And he said, Lift up now thy eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are striped, speckled, and spotted: for I have seen all that Laban doeth to thee. 001 GEN 031 013 I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the pillar, and where thou didst vow to me a vow: now arise, depart from this land, and return to the land of thy kindred. 001 GEN 031 014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? 001 GEN 031 015 Are we not counted by him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite consumed also our money. 001 GEN 031 016 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatever God hath said to thee, do. 001 GEN 031 017 Then Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 001 GEN 031 018 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gained, the cattle of his getting, which he had gained in Padanaram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 031 019 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s. 001 GEN 031 020 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he was fleeing. 001 GEN 031 021 So he fled with all that he had; and he arose, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. 001 GEN 031 022 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled. 001 GEN 031 023 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 001 GEN 031 024 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 001 GEN 031 025 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 001 GEN 031 026 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? 001 GEN 031 027 Why didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with timbrel, and with harp? 001 GEN 031 028 And hast not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 001 GEN 031 029 It is in the power of my hand to do you harm: but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 001 GEN 031 030 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou didst earnestly long after thy father’s house, yet why hast thou stolen my gods? 001 GEN 031 031 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, It may be thou wouldest take thy daughters from me by force. 001 GEN 031 032 With whomever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 001 GEN 031 033 And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then he went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. 001 GEN 031 034 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. 001 GEN 031 035 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images. 001 GEN 031 036 And Jacob was angry, and contended with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 001 GEN 031 037 Though thou hast searched all my things, what hast thou found of all thy household things? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge between us both. 001 GEN 031 038 These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy female goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 001 GEN 031 039 That which was torn by beasts I brought not to thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 001 GEN 031 040 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes. 001 GEN 031 041 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 001 GEN 031 042 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst now sent me away empty. God hath seen my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee last night. 001 GEN 031 043 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children which they have borne? 001 GEN 031 044 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 001 GEN 031 045 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 001 GEN 031 046 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they ate there upon the heap. 001 GEN 031 047 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. 001 GEN 031 048 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 001 GEN 031 049 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 001 GEN 031 050 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee. 001 GEN 031 051 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast between me and thee; 001 GEN 031 052 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm. 001 GEN 031 053 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac. 001 GEN 031 054 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and tarried all night in the mount. 001 GEN 031 055 And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned to his place. 001 GEN 032 001 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 001 GEN 032 002 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. 001 GEN 032 003 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 001 GEN 032 004 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now: 001 GEN 032 005 And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 001 GEN 032 006 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 001 GEN 032 007 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands; 001 GEN 032 008 And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. 001 GEN 032 009 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 001 GEN 032 010 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. 001 GEN 032 011 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. 001 GEN 032 012 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. 001 GEN 032 013 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; 001 GEN 032 014 Two hundred female goats, and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, 001 GEN 032 015 Thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten foals. 001 GEN 032 016 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove. 001 GEN 032 017 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and where goest thou? and whose are these before thee? 001 GEN 032 018 Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us. 001 GEN 032 019 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him. 001 GEN 032 020 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept of me. 001 GEN 032 021 So the present went over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company. 001 GEN 032 022 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 001 GEN 032 023 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had. 001 GEN 032 024 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 001 GEN 032 025 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 001 GEN 032 026 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 001 GEN 032 027 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 001 GEN 032 028 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 001 GEN 032 029 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, why is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 001 GEN 032 030 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 001 GEN 032 031 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh. 001 GEN 032 032 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank. 001 GEN 033 001 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids. 001 GEN 033 002 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last of all. 001 GEN 033 003 And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to his brother. 001 GEN 033 004 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 001 GEN 033 005 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given to thy servant. 001 GEN 033 006 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 001 GEN 033 007 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 001 GEN 033 008 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. 001 GEN 033 009 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself. 001 GEN 033 010 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been pleased with me. 001 GEN 033 011 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. 001 GEN 033 012 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 001 GEN 033 013 And he said to him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 001 GEN 033 014 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me and the children are able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir. 001 GEN 033 015 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. 001 GEN 033 016 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 001 GEN 033 017 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 001 GEN 033 018 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. 001 GEN 033 019 And he bought the piece of land, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money. 001 GEN 033 020 And he built there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel. 001 GEN 034 001 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 001 GEN 034 002 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. 001 GEN 034 003 And his soul cleaved to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel. 001 GEN 034 004 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife. 001 GEN 034 005 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they had come. 001 GEN 034 006 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 001 GEN 034 007 And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. 001 GEN 034 008 And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her to him for a wife. 001 GEN 034 009 And make ye marriages with us, give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you. 001 GEN 034 010 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye in it, and get you possessions in it. 001 GEN 034 011 And Shechem said to her father and to her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes, and what ye shall say to me I will give. 001 GEN 034 012 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me: but give me the damsel for a wife. 001 GEN 034 013 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: 001 GEN 034 014 And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach to us: 001 GEN 034 015 But in this will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you shall be circumcised; 001 GEN 034 016 Then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 001 GEN 034 017 But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. 001 GEN 034 018 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son. 001 GEN 034 019 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father. 001 GEN 034 020 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying, 001 GEN 034 021 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. 001 GEN 034 022 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us shall be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 001 GEN 034 023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us. 001 GEN 034 024 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city. 001 GEN 034 025 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. 001 GEN 034 026 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out. 001 GEN 034 027 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. 001 GEN 034 028 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their donkeys, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 001 GEN 034 029 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. 001 GEN 034 030 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. 001 GEN 034 031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? 001 GEN 035 001 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 001 GEN 035 002 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 001 GEN 035 003 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 001 GEN 035 004 And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 001 GEN 035 005 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. 001 GEN 035 006 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. 001 GEN 035 007 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 001 GEN 035 008 But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. 001 GEN 035 009 And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. 001 GEN 035 010 And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 001 GEN 035 011 And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 001 GEN 035 012 And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 001 GEN 035 013 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 001 GEN 035 014 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. 001 GEN 035 015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel. 001 GEN 035 016 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 001 GEN 035 017 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 001 GEN 035 018 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died ) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. 001 GEN 035 019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. 001 GEN 035 020 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 001 GEN 035 021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. 001 GEN 035 022 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 001 GEN 035 023 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 001 GEN 035 024 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 001 GEN 035 025 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 001 GEN 035 026 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padanaram. 001 GEN 035 027 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 001 GEN 035 028 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and eighty years. 001 GEN 035 029 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. 001 GEN 036 001 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 001 GEN 036 002 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 001 GEN 036 003 And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 001 GEN 036 004 And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bore Reuel; 001 GEN 036 005 And Aholibamah bore Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 036 006 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had gained in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. 001 GEN 036 007 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land where they were strangers could not sustain them because of their cattle. 001 GEN 036 008 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 001 GEN 036 009 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 001 GEN 036 010 These are the names of Esau’s sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. 001 GEN 036 011 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 001 GEN 036 012 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 013 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 014 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bore to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 001 GEN 036 015 These were chiefs of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 001 GEN 036 016 Chief Korah, chief Gatam, and chief Amalek: these are the chiefs that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah. 001 GEN 036 017 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah: these are the chiefs that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 018 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife; chief Jeush, chief Jaalam, chief Korah: these were the chiefs that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 019 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their chiefs. 001 GEN 036 020 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 001 GEN 036 021 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the chiefs of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 001 GEN 036 022 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 001 GEN 036 023 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 001 GEN 036 024 And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father. 001 GEN 036 025 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. 001 GEN 036 026 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. 001 GEN 036 027 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. 001 GEN 036 028 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. 001 GEN 036 029 These are the chiefs that came of the Horites; chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, 001 GEN 036 030 Chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan: these are the chiefs that came of Hori, among their chiefs in the land of Seir. 001 GEN 036 031 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. 001 GEN 036 032 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 001 GEN 036 033 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 034 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 035 And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. 001 GEN 036 036 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 037 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 038 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 039 And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. 001 GEN 036 040 And these are the names of the chiefs that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; chief Timnah, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth, 001 GEN 036 041 Chief Aholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, 001 GEN 036 042 Chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar, 001 GEN 036 043 Chief Magdiel, chief Iram: these are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites. 001 GEN 037 001 And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 037 002 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought to his father their bad report. 001 GEN 037 003 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. 001 GEN 037 004 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. 001 GEN 037 005 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 001 GEN 037 006 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 001 GEN 037 007 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood around, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 001 GEN 037 008 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 001 GEN 037 009 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 001 GEN 037 010 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 001 GEN 037 011 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. 001 GEN 037 012 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem. 001 GEN 037 013 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here am I. 001 GEN 037 014 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 001 GEN 037 015 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 001 GEN 037 016 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 001 GEN 037 017 And the man said, They have departed from here; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. 001 GEN 037 018 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him. 001 GEN 037 019 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer is coming. 001 GEN 037 020 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 001 GEN 037 021 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him from their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 001 GEN 037 022 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood, cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might deliver him from their hands, to bring him back to his father. 001 GEN 037 023 And it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; 001 GEN 037 024 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 001 GEN 037 025 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry them down to Egypt. 001 GEN 037 026 And Judah said to his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 001 GEN 037 027 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother our flesh. And his brethren were content. 001 GEN 037 028 Then there passed by Midianites merchants; and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. 001 GEN 037 029 And Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes. 001 GEN 037 030 And he returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go? 001 GEN 037 031 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 001 GEN 037 032 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it is thy son’s coat or not. 001 GEN 037 033 And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces. 001 GEN 037 034 And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 001 GEN 037 035 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585) 001 GEN 037 036 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard. 001 GEN 038 001 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 001 GEN 038 002 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in to her. 001 GEN 038 003 And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er. 001 GEN 038 004 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan. 001 GEN 038 005 And she yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him. 001 GEN 038 006 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. 001 GEN 038 007 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. 001 GEN 038 008 And Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 001 GEN 038 009 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he wasted it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother. 001 GEN 038 010 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: therefore he slew him also. 001 GEN 038 011 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son shall be grown: for he said, Lest perhaps he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house. 001 GEN 038 012 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 001 GEN 038 013 And it was told to Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. 001 GEN 038 014 And she put off from her, her widow’s garments, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him for a wife. 001 GEN 038 015 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. 001 GEN 038 016 And he turned to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me come in to thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me? 001 GEN 038 017 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou sendest it? 001 GEN 038 018 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him. 001 GEN 038 019 And she arose, and went her way, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 001 GEN 038 020 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not. 001 GEN 038 021 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 001 GEN 038 022 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. 001 GEN 038 023 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 001 GEN 038 024 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told to Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by harlotry. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. 001 GEN 038 025 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. 001 GEN 038 026 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. 001 GEN 038 027 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 001 GEN 038 028 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. 001 GEN 038 029 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. 001 GEN 038 030 And afterwards came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah. 001 GEN 039 001 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there. 001 GEN 039 002 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 001 GEN 039 003 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 001 GEN 039 004 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 001 GEN 039 005 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field. 001 GEN 039 006 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he did not concern himself with any thing he had, except the bread which he ate. And Joseph was a handsome person, and well favoured. 001 GEN 039 007 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 001 GEN 039 008 But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 001 GEN 039 009 There is none greater in his house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 001 GEN 039 010 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not to her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 001 GEN 039 011 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 001 GEN 039 012 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went outside. 001 GEN 039 013 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled outside, 001 GEN 039 014 That she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew to us to mock us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: 001 GEN 039 015 And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went outside. 001 GEN 039 016 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 001 GEN 039 017 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought to us, came in to me to mock me: 001 GEN 039 018 And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled outside. 001 GEN 039 019 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. 001 GEN 039 020 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 001 GEN 039 021 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 001 GEN 039 022 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by him. 001 GEN 039 023 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper. 001 GEN 040 001 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. 001 GEN 040 002 And Pharaoh was furious with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers. 001 GEN 040 003 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 001 GEN 040 004 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in custody. 001 GEN 040 005 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison. 001 GEN 040 006 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. 001 GEN 040 007 And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why look ye so sad to day? 001 GEN 040 008 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. 001 GEN 040 009 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 001 GEN 040 010 And on the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes: 001 GEN 040 011 And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. 001 GEN 040 012 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: 001 GEN 040 013 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. 001 GEN 040 014 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: 001 GEN 040 015 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. 001 GEN 040 016 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head: 001 GEN 040 017 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked goods for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head. 001 GEN 040 018 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days: 001 GEN 040 019 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. 001 GEN 040 020 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 001 GEN 040 021 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand: 001 GEN 040 022 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. 001 GEN 040 023 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. 001 GEN 041 001 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. 001 GEN 041 002 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured cows and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. 001 GEN 041 003 And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river. 001 GEN 041 004 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed cows ate up the seven well favoured and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke. 001 GEN 041 005 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, fat and good. 001 GEN 041 006 And, behold, seven thin ears and parched with the east wind sprung up after them. 001 GEN 041 007 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 001 GEN 041 008 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them to Pharaoh. 001 GEN 041 009 Then spoke the chief butler to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 001 GEN 041 010 Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and put me in custody in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker: 001 GEN 041 011 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 001 GEN 041 012 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he interpreted. 001 GEN 041 013 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored to my office, and him he hanged. 001 GEN 041 014 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came before Pharaoh. 001 GEN 041 015 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard it said of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. 001 GEN 041 016 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 001 GEN 041 017 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: 001 GEN 041 018 And, behold, there came out of the river seven cows, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: 001 GEN 041 019 And, behold, seven other cows came out after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: 001 GEN 041 020 And the lean and the ill favoured cows ate up the first seven fat cows: 001 GEN 041 021 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke. 001 GEN 041 022 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good: 001 GEN 041 023 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them: 001 GEN 041 024 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this to the magicians; but there was none that could make known the meaning of it to me. 001 GEN 041 025 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do. 001 GEN 041 026 The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 001 GEN 041 027 And the seven thin and ill favoured cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blighted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. 001 GEN 041 028 This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth to Pharaoh. 001 GEN 041 029 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 001 GEN 041 030 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; 001 GEN 041 031 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous. 001 GEN 041 032 And for that the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 001 GEN 041 033 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 034 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 001 GEN 041 035 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 001 GEN 041 036 And that food shall be for reserve for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land may not perish through the famine. 001 GEN 041 037 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 001 GEN 041 038 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a man as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? 001 GEN 041 039 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 001 GEN 041 040 Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 001 GEN 041 041 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 042 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 001 GEN 041 043 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 044 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 045 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him for a wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went over all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 046 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 047 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 001 GEN 041 048 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was surrounding every city, he laid up in the same. 001 GEN 041 049 And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he finished numbering; for it was without number. 001 GEN 041 050 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him. 001 GEN 041 051 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house. 001 GEN 041 052 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. 001 GEN 041 053 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. 001 GEN 041 054 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the famine was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 001 GEN 041 055 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he saith to you, do. 001 GEN 041 056 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 057 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain; because the famine was severe in all lands. 001 GEN 042 001 Now when Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 001 GEN 042 002 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: go down there, and buy for us from there; that we may live, and not die. 001 GEN 042 003 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy grain in Egypt. 001 GEN 042 004 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest perhaps harm shall befall him. 001 GEN 042 005 And the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 042 006 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 001 GEN 042 007 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them; and he said to them, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. 001 GEN 042 008 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 001 GEN 042 009 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said to them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land have ye come. 001 GEN 042 010 And they said to him, No, my lord, but to buy food have thy servants come. 001 GEN 042 011 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men, thy servants are no spies. 001 GEN 042 012 And he said to them, No, but to see the nakedness of the land have ye come. 001 GEN 042 013 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not. 001 GEN 042 014 And Joseph said to them, That is what I spoke to you, saying, Ye are spies: 001 GEN 042 015 By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth from here, except your youngest brother shall come here. 001 GEN 042 016 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there is any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies. 001 GEN 042 017 And he put them all together into prison three days. 001 GEN 042 018 And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: 001 GEN 042 019 If ye are honest men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses: 001 GEN 042 020 But bring your youngest brother to me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. 001 GEN 042 021 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. 001 GEN 042 022 And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the young man; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required. 001 GEN 042 023 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke to them by an interpreter. 001 GEN 042 024 And he turned himself away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and spoke with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes. 001 GEN 042 025 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with grain, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he to them. 001 GEN 042 026 And they loaded their donkeys with the grain, and departed from there. 001 GEN 042 027 And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the inn, he discovered his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth. 001 GEN 042 028 And he said to his brethren, My money is restored; and, see, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done to us? 001 GEN 042 029 And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell them; saying, 001 GEN 042 030 The man, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 001 GEN 042 031 And we said to him, We are honest men; we are no spies: 001 GEN 042 032 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 042 033 And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, By this shall I know that ye are honest men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and depart: 001 GEN 042 034 And bring your youngest brother to me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are honest men: then will I deliver to you your brother, and ye shall trade in the land. 001 GEN 042 035 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. 001 GEN 042 036 And Jacob their father said to them, Me have ye bereaved: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me. 001 GEN 042 037 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again. 001 GEN 042 038 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if harm shall befall him by the way in which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585) 001 GEN 043 001 And the famine was severe in the land. 001 GEN 043 002 And it came to pass, when they had consumed the grain which they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food. 001 GEN 043 003 And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. 001 GEN 043 004 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: 001 GEN 043 005 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. 001 GEN 043 006 And Israel said, Why dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? 001 GEN 043 007 And they said, The man asked us carefully concerning our state, and our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? 001 GEN 043 008 And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones. 001 GEN 043 009 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever: 001 GEN 043 010 For except we had delayed, surely now we had returned this second time. 001 GEN 043 011 And their father Israel said to them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds: 001 GEN 043 012 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; it may be it was an oversight: 001 GEN 043 013 Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man: 001 GEN 043 014 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved. 001 GEN 043 015 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and arose, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 001 GEN 043 016 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slaughter a beast, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon. 001 GEN 043 017 And the man did as Joseph commanded; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house. 001 GEN 043 018 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for slaves, and our donkeys. 001 GEN 043 019 And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke with him at the door of the house, 001 GEN 043 020 And said, O sir, we came down indeed at the first time to buy food: 001 GEN 043 021 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. 001 GEN 043 022 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks. 001 GEN 043 023 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them. 001 GEN 043 024 And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys feed. 001 GEN 043 025 And they made ready the present for Joseph’s coming at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there. 001 GEN 043 026 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth. 001 GEN 043 027 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive? 001 GEN 043 028 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed their heads, and made obeisance. 001 GEN 043 029 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son. 001 GEN 043 030 And Joseph made haste; for his heart yearned toward his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there. 001 GEN 043 031 And he washed his face, and went out, and controlled himself, and said, Set on bread. 001 GEN 043 032 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians. 001 GEN 043 033 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men wondered one at another. 001 GEN 043 034 And he took and sent messes to them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him. 001 GEN 044 001 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth. 001 GEN 044 002 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 001 GEN 044 003 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. 001 GEN 044 004 And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Arise, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good? 001 GEN 044 005 Is not this the cup in which my lord drinketh, and by which indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. 001 GEN 044 006 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words. 001 GEN 044 007 And they said to him, Why saith my lord these words? Far be it from us that thy servants should do according to this thing: 001 GEN 044 008 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to thee from the land of Canaan: how then should we steal from thy lord’s house silver or gold? 001 GEN 044 009 With whomever of thy servants it shall be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves. 001 GEN 044 010 And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it shall be found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless. 001 GEN 044 011 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. 001 GEN 044 012 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and stopped at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. 001 GEN 044 013 Then they tore their clothes, and loaded every man his donkey, and returned to the city. 001 GEN 044 014 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. 001 GEN 044 015 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that ye have done? knew ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine? 001 GEN 044 016 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found. 001 GEN 044 017 And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go in peace to your father. 001 GEN 044 018 Then Judah came near to him, and said, O my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thy anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. 001 GEN 044 019 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? 001 GEN 044 020 And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. 001 GEN 044 021 And thou saidst to thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him. 001 GEN 044 022 And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. 001 GEN 044 023 And thou saidst to thy servants, Except your youngest brother shall come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 001 GEN 044 024 And it came to pass when we came to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 001 GEN 044 025 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food. 001 GEN 044 026 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother shall be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother shall be with us. 001 GEN 044 027 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons: 001 GEN 044 028 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since: 001 GEN 044 029 And if ye take this also from me, and harm shall befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585) 001 GEN 044 030 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; 001 GEN 044 031 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585) 001 GEN 044 032 For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. 001 GEN 044 033 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a slave to my lord; and let the lad return with his brethren. 001 GEN 044 034 For how shall I return to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest perhaps I see the evil that shall come on my father. 001 GEN 045 001 Then Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brethren. 001 GEN 045 002 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 001 GEN 045 003 And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence. 001 GEN 045 004 And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 001 GEN 045 005 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here: for God sent me before you to preserve life. 001 GEN 045 006 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in which there shall neither be tillage nor harvest. 001 GEN 045 007 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 001 GEN 045 008 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 045 009 Haste ye, and return to my father, and say to him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down to me, delay not: 001 GEN 045 010 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: 001 GEN 045 011 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, should come to poverty. 001 GEN 045 012 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh to you. 001 GEN 045 013 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father here. 001 GEN 045 014 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 001 GEN 045 015 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. 001 GEN 045 016 And the report of this was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 001 GEN 045 017 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, This do ye; load your beasts, and go, return to the land of Canaan; 001 GEN 045 018 And take your father and your households, and come to me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. 001 GEN 045 019 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 001 GEN 045 020 Also regard not your possessions; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 001 GEN 045 021 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. 001 GEN 045 022 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. 001 GEN 045 023 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and food for his father by the way. 001 GEN 045 024 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that ye contend not by the way. 001 GEN 045 025 And they went up from Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father, 001 GEN 045 026 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not. 001 GEN 045 027 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: 001 GEN 045 028 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die. 001 GEN 046 001 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 001 GEN 046 002 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 001 GEN 046 003 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: 001 GEN 046 004 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 001 GEN 046 005 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 001 GEN 046 006 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him: 001 GEN 046 007 His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. 001 GEN 046 008 And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 001 GEN 046 009 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. 001 GEN 046 010 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman. 001 GEN 046 011 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 001 GEN 046 012 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul. 001 GEN 046 013 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron. 001 GEN 046 014 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 001 GEN 046 015 These are the sons of Leah, which she bore to Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. 001 GEN 046 016 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. 001 GEN 046 017 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel. 001 GEN 046 018 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls. 001 GEN 046 019 The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin. 001 GEN 046 020 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him. 001 GEN 046 021 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 001 GEN 046 022 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. 001 GEN 046 023 And the sons of Dan; Hushim. 001 GEN 046 024 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. 001 GEN 046 025 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: all the souls were seven. 001 GEN 046 026 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, who came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were sixty and six; 001 GEN 046 027 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy. 001 GEN 046 028 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 001 GEN 046 029 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. 001 GEN 046 030 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. 001 GEN 046 031 And Joseph said to his brethren, and to his father’s house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to me; 001 GEN 046 032 And the men are shepherds, for their occupation hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 001 GEN 046 033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 001 GEN 046 034 That ye shall say, The occupation of thy servants hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians. 001 GEN 047 001 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come from the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen. 001 GEN 047 002 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them to Pharaoh. 001 GEN 047 003 And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers. 001 GEN 047 004 They said moreover to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. 001 GEN 047 005 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren have come to thee: 001 GEN 047 006 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. 001 GEN 047 007 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 001 GEN 047 008 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How old art thou? 001 GEN 047 009 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, nor have they attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 001 GEN 047 010 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 001 GEN 047 011 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. 001 GEN 047 012 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families. 001 GEN 047 013 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. 001 GEN 047 014 And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. 001 GEN 047 015 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. 001 GEN 047 016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money hath failed. 001 GEN 047 017 And they brought their cattle to Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. 001 GEN 047 018 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: 001 GEN 047 019 Why shall we die before thy eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. 001 GEN 047 020 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s. 001 GEN 047 021 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to its other end. 001 GEN 047 022 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore they sold not their lands. 001 GEN 047 023 Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 001 GEN 047 024 And it shall come to pass in the harvest, that ye shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. 001 GEN 047 025 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants. 001 GEN 047 026 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s. 001 GEN 047 027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. 001 GEN 047 028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred and forty and seven years. 001 GEN 047 029 And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt: 001 GEN 047 030 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said. 001 GEN 047 031 And he said, Swear to me. And he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head. 001 GEN 048 001 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 001 GEN 048 002 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh to thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 001 GEN 048 003 And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 001 GEN 048 004 And said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. 001 GEN 048 005 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 001 GEN 048 006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 001 GEN 048 007 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem. 001 GEN 048 008 And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these? 001 GEN 048 009 And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, and I will bless them. 001 GEN 048 010 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. 001 GEN 048 011 And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shown me also thy seed. 001 GEN 048 012 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 001 GEN 048 013 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him. 001 GEN 048 014 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. 001 GEN 048 015 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who hath fed me all my life long to this day, 001 GEN 048 016 The Angel who hath redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. 001 GEN 048 017 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he lifted his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 001 GEN 048 018 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 001 GEN 048 019 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 001 GEN 048 020 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 001 GEN 048 021 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers. 001 GEN 048 022 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. 001 GEN 049 001 And Jacob called to his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 001 GEN 049 002 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken to Israel your father. 001 GEN 049 003 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 001 GEN 049 004 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then thou didst defile it: he went up to my couch. 001 GEN 049 005 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. 001 GEN 049 006 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; to their assembly, my honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. 001 GEN 049 007 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. 001 GEN 049 008 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be on the neck of thy enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. 001 GEN 049 009 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou hast gone up: he stooped down, he crouched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 001 GEN 049 010 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh shall come; and to him shall be the obedience of the people. 001 GEN 049 011 Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 001 GEN 049 012 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 001 GEN 049 013 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be to Zidon. 001 GEN 049 014 Issachar is a strong donkey crouching down between two burdens: 001 GEN 049 015 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a slave at forced labour. 001 GEN 049 016 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. 001 GEN 049 017 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. 001 GEN 049 018 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. 001 GEN 049 019 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. 001 GEN 049 020 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 001 GEN 049 021 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. 001 GEN 049 022 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 001 GEN 049 023 The archers have bitterly attacked him, and shot at him, and hated him: 001 GEN 049 024 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel: ) 001 GEN 049 025 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: 001 GEN 049 026 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. 001 GEN 049 027 Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. 001 GEN 049 028 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it which their father spoke to them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. 001 GEN 049 029 And he charged them, and said to them, I am to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 001 GEN 049 030 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace. 001 GEN 049 031 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 001 GEN 049 032 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is in it was from the children of Heth. 001 GEN 049 033 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he drew his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered to his people. 001 GEN 050 001 And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 001 GEN 050 002 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 001 GEN 050 003 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days. 001 GEN 050 004 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 001 GEN 050 005 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. 001 GEN 050 006 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. 001 GEN 050 007 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 001 GEN 050 008 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 001 GEN 050 009 And there went with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 001 GEN 050 010 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very grievous lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 001 GEN 050 011 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the threshingfloor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: therefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan. 001 GEN 050 012 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them: 001 GEN 050 013 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. 001 GEN 050 014 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 001 GEN 050 015 And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly repay us all the evil which we did to him. 001 GEN 050 016 And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying, 001 GEN 050 017 So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 001 GEN 050 018 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are thy servants. 001 GEN 050 019 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 001 GEN 050 020 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive. 001 GEN 050 021 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. 001 GEN 050 022 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 001 GEN 050 023 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees. 001 GEN 050 024 And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 001 GEN 050 025 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from here. 001 GEN 050 026 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. # # BOOK 002 EXO Exodus Exodus 002 EXO 001 001 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. 002 EXO 001 002 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 002 EXO 001 003 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 002 EXO 001 004 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 002 EXO 001 005 And all the souls that descended from Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 002 EXO 001 006 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. 002 EXO 001 007 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 002 EXO 001 008 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. 002 EXO 001 009 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 002 EXO 001 010 Come, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it shall come to pass, that, when war happeneth, they will join with our enemies, and fight against us, and depart from the land. 002 EXO 001 011 Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. 002 EXO 001 012 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. 002 EXO 001 013 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 002 EXO 001 014 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, in which they made them serve, was with rigour. 002 EXO 001 015 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: 002 EXO 001 016 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it shall be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it shall be a daughter, then she shall live. 002 EXO 001 017 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the males alive. 002 EXO 001 018 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the males alive? 002 EXO 001 019 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in to them. 002 EXO 001 020 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and became very mighty. 002 EXO 001 021 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he gave them families. 002 EXO 001 022 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. 002 EXO 002 001 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and married a daughter of Levi. 002 EXO 002 002 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 002 EXO 002 003 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink. 002 EXO 002 004 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. 002 EXO 002 005 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 002 EXO 002 006 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children. 002 EXO 002 007 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 002 EXO 002 008 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother. 002 EXO 002 009 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed him. 002 EXO 002 010 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. 002 EXO 002 011 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 002 EXO 002 012 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 002 EXO 002 013 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy companion? 002 EXO 002 014 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. 002 EXO 002 015 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. 002 EXO 002 016 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. 002 EXO 002 017 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 002 EXO 002 018 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? 002 EXO 002 019 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. 002 EXO 002 020 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread. 002 EXO 002 021 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 002 EXO 002 022 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. 002 EXO 002 023 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God by reason of the bondage. 002 EXO 002 024 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 002 EXO 002 025 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took notice of them. 002 EXO 003 001 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 002 EXO 003 002 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 002 EXO 003 003 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 002 EXO 003 004 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 002 EXO 003 005 And he said, Come not near here: put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground. 002 EXO 003 006 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. 002 EXO 003 007 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 002 EXO 003 008 And I am come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 002 EXO 003 009 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 002 EXO 003 010 Come now therefore, and I will send thee to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 002 EXO 003 011 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 002 EXO 003 012 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token to thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 002 EXO 003 013 And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them? 002 EXO 003 014 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me to you. 002 EXO 003 015 And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations. 002 EXO 003 016 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: 002 EXO 003 017 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey. 002 EXO 003 018 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. 002 EXO 003 019 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. 002 EXO 003 020 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst: and after that he will let you go. 002 EXO 003 021 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty: 002 EXO 003 022 But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that dwelleth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall plunder the Egyptians. 002 EXO 004 001 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken to my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared to thee. 002 EXO 004 002 And the LORD said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod. 002 EXO 004 003 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. 002 EXO 004 004 And the LORD said to Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: 002 EXO 004 005 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to thee. 002 EXO 004 006 And the LORD said furthermore to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. 002 EXO 004 007 And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and drew it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. 002 EXO 004 008 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 002 EXO 004 009 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. 002 EXO 004 010 And Moses said to the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before, nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 002 EXO 004 011 And the LORD said to him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 002 EXO 004 012 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 002 EXO 004 013 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 002 EXO 004 014 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 002 EXO 004 015 And thou shalt speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 002 EXO 004 016 And he shall speak for thee to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. 002 EXO 004 017 And thou shalt take this rod in thy hand, with which thou shalt perform signs. 002 EXO 004 018 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 002 EXO 004 019 And the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead who sought thy life. 002 EXO 004 020 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 002 EXO 004 021 And the LORD said to Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou perform all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 002 EXO 004 022 And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 002 EXO 004 023 And I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou shalt refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. 002 EXO 004 024 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 002 EXO 004 025 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 002 EXO 004 026 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. 002 EXO 004 027 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. 002 EXO 004 028 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. 002 EXO 004 029 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 002 EXO 004 030 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and performed the signs in the sight of the people. 002 EXO 004 031 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. 002 EXO 005 001 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness. 002 EXO 005 002 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. 002 EXO 005 003 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice to the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword. 002 EXO 005 004 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? go to your burdens. 002 EXO 005 005 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 002 EXO 005 006 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, 002 EXO 005 007 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as before: let them go and gather straw for themselves. 002 EXO 005 008 And the number of the bricks, which they made before, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish any of it: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 002 EXO 005 009 Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour in it; and let them not regard vain words. 002 EXO 005 010 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 002 EXO 005 011 Go ye, get for yourselves straw where ye can find it: yet not any of your work shall be diminished. 002 EXO 005 012 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. 002 EXO 005 013 And the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 002 EXO 005 014 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as before? 002 EXO 005 015 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why dealest thou thus with thy servants? 002 EXO 005 016 There is no straw given to thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thy own people. 002 EXO 005 017 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD. 002 EXO 005 018 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks. 002 EXO 005 019 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, after it was said, Ye shall not diminish the number of your bricks of your daily task. 002 EXO 005 020 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: 002 EXO 005 021 And they said to them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made us odious in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hands to slay us. 002 EXO 005 022 And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Lord, why hast thou so oppressed this people? why is it that thou hast sent me? 002 EXO 005 023 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all. 002 EXO 006 001 Then the LORD said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them from his land. 002 EXO 006 002 And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am the LORD: 002 EXO 006 003 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 002 EXO 006 004 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. 002 EXO 006 005 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 002 EXO 006 006 Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with outstretched arm, and with great judgments: 002 EXO 006 007 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 002 EXO 006 008 And I will bring you into the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for an heritage: I am the LORD. 002 EXO 006 009 And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel: but they hearkened not to Moses by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage. 002 EXO 006 010 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 006 011 Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel depart from his land. 002 EXO 006 012 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? 002 EXO 006 013 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 006 014 These are the heads of their father’s houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben. 002 EXO 006 015 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon. 002 EXO 006 016 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred and thirty and seven years. 002 EXO 006 017 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. 002 EXO 006 018 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred and thirty and three years. 002 EXO 006 019 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations. 002 EXO 006 020 And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister for a wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years. 002 EXO 006 021 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. 002 EXO 006 022 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. 002 EXO 006 023 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, for a wife; and she bore him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 002 EXO 006 024 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. 002 EXO 006 025 And Eleazar Aaron’s son took one of the daughters of Putiel for a wife; and she bore to him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. 002 EXO 006 026 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. 002 EXO 006 027 These are they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron. 002 EXO 006 028 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 002 EXO 006 029 That the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to thee. 002 EXO 006 030 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken to me? 002 EXO 007 001 And the LORD said to Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 002 EXO 007 002 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. 002 EXO 007 003 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 007 004 But Pharaoh shall not hearken to you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 002 EXO 007 005 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 002 EXO 007 006 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. 002 EXO 007 007 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty and three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh. 002 EXO 007 008 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 002 EXO 007 009 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then thou shalt say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. 002 EXO 007 010 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 002 EXO 007 011 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 002 EXO 007 012 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. 002 EXO 007 013 And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had said. 002 EXO 007 014 And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. 002 EXO 007 015 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out to the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand. 002 EXO 007 016 And thou shalt say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, until now thou wouldest not hear. 002 EXO 007 017 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. 002 EXO 007 018 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river. 002 EXO 007 019 And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone. 002 EXO 007 020 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood. 002 EXO 007 021 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 007 022 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken to them; as the LORD had said. 002 EXO 007 023 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also. 002 EXO 007 024 And all the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river. 002 EXO 007 025 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river. 002 EXO 008 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 008 002 And if thou shalt refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: 002 EXO 008 003 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: 002 EXO 008 004 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 002 EXO 008 005 And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 006 And Aaron stretched his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 007 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 008 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD. 002 EXO 008 009 And Moses said to Pharaoh, Command me: when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? 002 EXO 008 010 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like the LORD our God. 002 EXO 008 011 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only. 002 EXO 008 012 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 002 EXO 008 013 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. 002 EXO 008 014 And they gathered them together in heaps: and the land stank. 002 EXO 008 015 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them; as the LORD had said. 002 EXO 008 016 And the LORD said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 017 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 018 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 002 EXO 008 019 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had said. 002 EXO 008 020 And the LORD said to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 008 021 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they are. 002 EXO 008 022 And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. 002 EXO 008 023 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be. 002 EXO 008 024 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies. 002 EXO 008 025 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. 002 EXO 008 026 And Moses said, It is not proper so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? 002 EXO 008 027 We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us. 002 EXO 008 028 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me. 002 EXO 008 029 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD. 002 EXO 008 030 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD. 002 EXO 008 031 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. 002 EXO 008 032 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. 002 EXO 009 001 Then the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 009 002 For if thou shalt refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 002 EXO 009 003 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous plague. 002 EXO 009 004 And the LORD shall make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that belong to the children of Israel. 002 EXO 009 005 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. 002 EXO 009 006 And the LORD did that thing on the next day, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. 002 EXO 009 007 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. 002 EXO 009 008 And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 002 EXO 009 009 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with sores upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 009 010 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with sores upon man, and upon beast. 002 EXO 009 011 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 002 EXO 009 012 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had spoken to Moses. 002 EXO 009 013 And the LORD said to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 009 014 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 002 EXO 009 015 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 002 EXO 009 016 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 002 EXO 009 017 As yet dost thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 002 EXO 009 018 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now. 002 EXO 009 019 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 002 EXO 009 020 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses: 002 EXO 009 021 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field. 002 EXO 009 022 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 009 023 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 009 024 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 002 EXO 009 025 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. 002 EXO 009 026 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail. 002 EXO 009 027 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 002 EXO 009 028 Entreat the LORD (for it is enough ) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 002 EXO 009 029 And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD’S. 002 EXO 009 030 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God. 002 EXO 009 031 And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bud. 002 EXO 009 032 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up. 002 EXO 009 033 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 002 EXO 009 034 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 002 EXO 009 035 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses. 002 EXO 010 001 And the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these my signs before him: 002 EXO 010 002 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD. 002 EXO 010 003 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 010 004 Else, if thou shalt refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy land: 002 EXO 010 005 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the rest of that which hath escaped, which remaineth to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 002 EXO 010 006 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. 002 EXO 010 007 And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? 002 EXO 010 008 And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go? 002 EXO 010 009 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to the LORD. 002 EXO 010 010 And he said to them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. 002 EXO 010 011 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. 002 EXO 010 012 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 002 EXO 010 013 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 002 EXO 010 014 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the land of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 002 EXO 010 015 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing on the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 010 016 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. 002 EXO 010 017 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only. 002 EXO 010 018 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD. 002 EXO 010 019 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 010 020 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go. 002 EXO 010 021 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 002 EXO 010 022 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 002 EXO 010 023 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. 002 EXO 010 024 And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be left behind: let your little ones also go with you. 002 EXO 010 025 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. 002 EXO 010 026 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for of them must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there. 002 EXO 010 027 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go. 002 EXO 010 028 And Pharaoh said to him, Depart from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 002 EXO 010 029 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more. 002 EXO 011 001 And the LORD said to Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go from here: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here altogether. 002 EXO 011 002 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. 002 EXO 011 003 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people. 002 EXO 011 004 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: 002 EXO 011 005 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. 002 EXO 011 006 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like it any more. 002 EXO 011 007 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. 002 EXO 011 008 And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Depart thou, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will depart. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. 002 EXO 011 009 And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 011 010 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel depart from his land. 002 EXO 012 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 002 EXO 012 002 This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 002 EXO 012 003 Speak ye to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 002 EXO 012 004 And if the household shall be too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 002 EXO 012 005 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: 002 EXO 012 006 And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 002 EXO 012 007 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, in which they shall eat it. 002 EXO 012 008 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 002 EXO 012 009 Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs, and with its inward parts. 002 EXO 012 010 And ye shall let nothing of it remain till the morning; and that which remaineth of it till the morning ye shall burn with fire. 002 EXO 012 011 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover. 002 EXO 012 012 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 002 EXO 012 013 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 012 014 And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. 002 EXO 012 015 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day till the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 002 EXO 012 016 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, except what every man must eat, that only may be done by you. 002 EXO 012 017 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. 002 EXO 012 018 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread, till the one and twentieth day of the month at evening. 002 EXO 012 019 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he shall be a stranger, or born in the land. 002 EXO 012 020 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. 002 EXO 012 021 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take for yourselves a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 002 EXO 012 022 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house till the morning. 002 EXO 012 023 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not permit the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you. 002 EXO 012 024 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 002 EXO 012 025 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall have come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 002 EXO 012 026 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean you by this service? 002 EXO 012 027 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 002 EXO 012 028 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 002 EXO 012 029 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 002 EXO 012 030 And Pharaoh rose in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 002 EXO 012 031 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Arise, and depart from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 002 EXO 012 032 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 002 EXO 012 033 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men. 002 EXO 012 034 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 002 EXO 012 035 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 002 EXO 012 036 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave to them such things as they requested. And they plundered the Egyptians. 002 EXO 012 037 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children. 002 EXO 012 038 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very many cattle. 002 EXO 012 039 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought from Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were driven from Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any food. 002 EXO 012 040 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 002 EXO 012 041 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD departed from the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 012 042 It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations. 002 EXO 012 043 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat of it: 002 EXO 012 044 But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. 002 EXO 012 045 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat of it. 002 EXO 012 046 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone of it. 002 EXO 012 047 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 002 EXO 012 048 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 002 EXO 012 049 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and to the stranger that sojourneth among you. 002 EXO 012 050 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 002 EXO 012 051 And it came to pass the same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies. 002 EXO 013 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 013 002 Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 002 EXO 013 003 And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, when ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. 002 EXO 013 004 This day in the month Abib, ye came out. 002 EXO 013 005 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month. 002 EXO 013 006 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD. 002 EXO 013 007 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. 002 EXO 013 008 And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did to me when I came forth out of Egypt. 002 EXO 013 009 And it shall be for a sign to thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thy eyes, that the LORD’S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. 002 EXO 013 010 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year. 002 EXO 013 011 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it to thee, 002 EXO 013 012 That thou shall set apart to the LORD all that openeth the womb, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’S. 002 EXO 013 013 And every firstling of a donkey thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem. 002 EXO 013 014 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say to him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage: 002 EXO 013 015 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem. 002 EXO 013 016 And it shall be for a token upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt. 002 EXO 013 017 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 002 EXO 013 018 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up armed from the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 013 019 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had solemnly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones from here with you. 002 EXO 013 020 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. 002 EXO 013 021 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: 002 EXO 013 022 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. 002 EXO 014 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 014 002 Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea. 002 EXO 014 003 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. 002 EXO 014 004 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow them; and I will be honoured over Pharaoh, and over all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so. 002 EXO 014 005 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us? 002 EXO 014 006 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him: 002 EXO 014 007 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 002 EXO 014 008 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 002 EXO 014 009 But the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. 002 EXO 014 010 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were greatly afraid: and the children of Israel cried to the LORD. 002 EXO 014 011 And they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us out of Egypt? 002 EXO 014 012 Is not this the word that we told thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 002 EXO 014 013 And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 002 EXO 014 014 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 002 EXO 014 015 And the LORD said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward: 002 EXO 014 016 But lift thou thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 002 EXO 014 017 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his host, over his chariots, and over his horsemen. 002 EXO 014 018 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen. 002 EXO 014 019 And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: 002 EXO 014 020 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. 002 EXO 014 021 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 002 EXO 014 022 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left. 002 EXO 014 023 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 002 EXO 014 024 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked to the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, 002 EXO 014 025 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 002 EXO 014 026 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 002 EXO 014 027 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 002 EXO 014 028 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. 002 EXO 014 029 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left. 002 EXO 014 030 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. 002 EXO 014 031 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses. 002 EXO 015 001 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 002 EXO 015 002 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 002 EXO 015 003 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. 002 EXO 015 004 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 002 EXO 015 005 The depths have covered them: they sank to the bottom as a stone. 002 EXO 015 006 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 002 EXO 015 007 And in the greatness of thy excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. 002 EXO 015 008 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 002 EXO 015 009 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. 002 EXO 015 010 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 002 EXO 015 011 Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 002 EXO 015 012 Thou didst stretch out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. 002 EXO 015 013 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people who thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation. 002 EXO 015 014 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 002 EXO 015 015 Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 002 EXO 015 016 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thy arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, whom thou hast purchased. 002 EXO 015 017 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established. 002 EXO 015 018 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. 002 EXO 015 019 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 002 EXO 015 020 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 002 EXO 015 021 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 002 EXO 015 022 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 002 EXO 015 023 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. 002 EXO 015 024 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 002 EXO 015 025 And he cried to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which he cast into the waters, and the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he tested them, 002 EXO 015 026 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 002 EXO 015 027 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters. 002 EXO 016 001 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 016 002 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: 002 EXO 016 003 And the children of Israel said to them, O that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. 002 EXO 016 004 Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not. 002 EXO 016 005 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 002 EXO 016 006 And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: 002 EXO 016 007 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? 002 EXO 016 008 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD. 002 EXO 016 009 And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings. 002 EXO 016 010 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. 002 EXO 016 011 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 016 012 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. 002 EXO 016 013 And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the host. 002 EXO 016 014 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. 002 EXO 016 015 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. 002 EXO 016 016 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them who are in his tents. 002 EXO 016 017 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 002 EXO 016 018 And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. 002 EXO 016 019 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 002 EXO 016 020 However they hearkened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was angry with them. 002 EXO 016 021 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted. 002 EXO 016 022 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 002 EXO 016 023 And he said to them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 002 EXO 016 024 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it. 002 EXO 016 025 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. 002 EXO 016 026 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 002 EXO 016 027 And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none. 002 EXO 016 028 And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? 002 EXO 016 029 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 002 EXO 016 030 So the people rested on the seventh day. 002 EXO 016 031 And the house of Israel called its name Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 002 EXO 016 032 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 016 033 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. 002 EXO 016 034 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. 002 EXO 016 035 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. 002 EXO 016 036 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. 002 EXO 017 001 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. 002 EXO 017 002 Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why chide you with me? why do ye tempt the LORD? 002 EXO 017 003 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is this that thou hast brought us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? 002 EXO 017 004 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? they are almost ready to stone me. 002 EXO 017 005 And the LORD said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, with which thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go. 002 EXO 017 006 Behold, I will stand before thee there on the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 002 EXO 017 007 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not? 002 EXO 017 008 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 002 EXO 017 009 And Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand. 002 EXO 017 010 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 002 EXO 017 011 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 002 EXO 017 012 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 002 EXO 017 013 And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 002 EXO 017 014 And the LORD said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. 002 EXO 017 015 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: 002 EXO 017 016 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 002 EXO 018 001 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt; 002 EXO 018 002 Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back, 002 EXO 018 003 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land: 002 EXO 018 004 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh: 002 EXO 018 005 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God: 002 EXO 018 006 And he said to Moses, I thy father in law Jethro have come to thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her. 002 EXO 018 007 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent. 002 EXO 018 008 And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them. 002 EXO 018 009 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 002 EXO 018 010 And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 002 EXO 018 011 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing in which they dealt proudly he was above them. 002 EXO 018 012 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God. 002 EXO 018 013 And it came to pass on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening. 002 EXO 018 014 And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning to evening? 002 EXO 018 015 And Moses said to his father in law, Because the people come to me to enquire of God: 002 EXO 018 016 When they have a matter, they come to me; and I judge between one and another, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 002 EXO 018 017 And Moses’ father in law said to him, The thing that thou doest is not good. 002 EXO 018 018 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 002 EXO 018 019 Hearken now to my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people toward God, that thou mayest bring the causes to God: 002 EXO 018 020 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do. 002 EXO 018 021 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 002 EXO 018 022 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring to thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. 002 EXO 018 023 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. 002 EXO 018 024 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. 002 EXO 018 025 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 002 EXO 018 026 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. 002 EXO 018 027 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land. 002 EXO 019 001 In the third month, when the children of Israel had gone forth from the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. 002 EXO 019 002 For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount. 002 EXO 019 003 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 002 EXO 019 004 Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself. 002 EXO 019 005 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 002 EXO 019 006 And ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel. 002 EXO 019 007 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. 002 EXO 019 008 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD. 002 EXO 019 009 And the LORD said to Moses, Lo, I come to thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD. 002 EXO 019 010 And the LORD said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 002 EXO 019 011 And be ready for the third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. 002 EXO 019 012 And thou shalt set bounds to the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up upon the mount, or touch the border of it: whoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: 002 EXO 019 013 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. 002 EXO 019 014 And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 002 EXO 019 015 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day: come not at your wives. 002 EXO 019 016 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled. 002 EXO 019 017 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the lower part of the mount. 002 EXO 019 018 And mount Sinai was altogether in a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount trembled greatly. 002 EXO 019 019 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice. 002 EXO 019 020 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. 002 EXO 019 021 And the LORD said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. 002 EXO 019 022 And let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. 002 EXO 019 023 And Moses said to the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 002 EXO 019 024 And the LORD said to him, Away, go down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. 002 EXO 019 025 So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them. 002 EXO 020 001 And God spoke all these words, saying, 002 EXO 020 002 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 002 EXO 020 003 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 002 EXO 020 004 Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 002 EXO 020 005 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 002 EXO 020 006 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 002 EXO 020 007 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 002 EXO 020 008 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 002 EXO 020 009 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 002 EXO 020 010 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy male servant, nor thy female servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 002 EXO 020 011 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 002 EXO 020 012 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 002 EXO 020 013 Thou shalt not kill. 002 EXO 020 014 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 002 EXO 020 015 Thou shalt not steal. 002 EXO 020 016 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 002 EXO 020 017 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. 002 EXO 020 018 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off. 002 EXO 020 019 And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 002 EXO 020 020 And Moses said to the people, Fear not: for God is come to test you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 002 EXO 020 021 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. 002 EXO 020 022 And the LORD said to Moses, Thus thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 002 EXO 020 023 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make to you gods of gold. 002 EXO 020 024 An altar of earth thou shalt make to me, and shalt sacrifice on it thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come to thee, and I will bless thee. 002 EXO 020 025 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou shalt lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. 002 EXO 020 026 Neither shalt thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered on it. 002 EXO 021 001 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 002 EXO 021 002 If thou shalt buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing. 002 EXO 021 003 If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him. 002 EXO 021 004 If his master hath given him a wife, and she hath borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall depart by himself. 002 EXO 021 005 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not depart free: 002 EXO 021 006 Then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or to the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. 002 EXO 021 007 And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not depart as the male slaves do. 002 EXO 021 008 If she shall not please her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her to a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. 002 EXO 021 009 And if he hath betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 002 EXO 021 010 If he shall take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. 002 EXO 021 011 And if he shall not perform these three things for her, then shall she depart free without money. 002 EXO 021 012 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. 002 EXO 021 013 And if a man shall not lie in wait, but God shall deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place where he shall flee. 002 EXO 021 014 But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from my altar, that he may die. 002 EXO 021 015 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. 002 EXO 021 016 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 021 017 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 021 018 And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he shall not die, but keepeth to his bed: 002 EXO 021 019 If he shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be clear: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed. 002 EXO 021 020 And if a man shall smite his male or female servant, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. 002 EXO 021 021 However, if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. 002 EXO 021 022 If men shall contend, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit shall depart from her, and yet no harm follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 002 EXO 021 023 And if any harm shall follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 002 EXO 021 024 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 002 EXO 021 025 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. 002 EXO 021 026 And if a man shall smite the eye of his male servant, or the eye of his female servant, that it shall perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake. 002 EXO 021 027 And if he shall smite out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake. 002 EXO 021 028 If an ox shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear. 002 EXO 021 029 But if the ox was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not restrained him, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. 002 EXO 021 030 If there shall be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever is laid upon him. 002 EXO 021 031 Whether he hath gored a son, or hath gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him. 002 EXO 021 032 If the ox shall push a male or female servant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. 002 EXO 021 033 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or a donkey shall fall into it; 002 EXO 021 034 The owner of the pit shall make payment, and give money to the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his. 002 EXO 021 035 And if one man’s ox shall hurt another’s, that he shall die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide. 002 EXO 021 036 Or if it shall be known that the ox was accustomed to push in time past, and his owner hath not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. 002 EXO 022 001 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 002 EXO 022 002 If a thief shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. 002 EXO 022 003 If the sun shall have risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 002 EXO 022 004 If the theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or donkey, or sheep; he shall restore double. 002 EXO 022 005 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution. 002 EXO 022 006 If fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field, shall be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. 002 EXO 022 007 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief shall be found, let him pay double. 002 EXO 022 008 If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he hath put his hand to his neighbour’s goods. 002 EXO 022 009 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbour. 002 EXO 022 010 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: 002 EXO 022 011 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand to his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution. 002 EXO 022 012 And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it. 002 EXO 022 013 If it shall be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. 002 EXO 022 014 And if a man shall borrow any thing from his neighbour, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it being not with it, he shall surely make it good. 002 EXO 022 015 But if the owner of it shall be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire. 002 EXO 022 016 And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 002 EXO 022 017 If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 002 EXO 022 018 Thou shalt not allow a witch to live. 002 EXO 022 019 Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 022 020 He that sacrificeth to any god, except to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. 002 EXO 022 021 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 022 022 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 002 EXO 022 023 If thou shalt afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry; 002 EXO 022 024 And my wrath shall burn, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. 002 EXO 022 025 If thou shalt lend money to any of my people that is poor among you, thou shalt not be to him as a money-lender, neither shalt thou charge him interest. 002 EXO 022 026 If thou shalt at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun. 002 EXO 022 027 For that is his only covering, it is his raiment for his skin: what shall he sleep in? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 002 EXO 022 028 Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse the ruler of thy people. 002 EXO 022 029 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give to me. 002 EXO 022 030 Likewise shalt thou do with thy oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it to me. 002 EXO 022 031 And ye shall be holy men to me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs. 002 EXO 023 001 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 002 EXO 023 002 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after many to pervert judgment: 002 EXO 023 003 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 002 EXO 023 004 If thou shalt meet thy enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 002 EXO 023 005 If thou shalt see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. 002 EXO 023 006 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 002 EXO 023 007 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. 002 EXO 023 008 And thou shalt take no bribe: for the bribe blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 002 EXO 023 009 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 023 010 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in its fruits: 002 EXO 023 011 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard. 002 EXO 023 012 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thy ox and thy donkey may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. 002 EXO 023 013 And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the names of other gods, neither let it be heard from thy mouth. 002 EXO 023 014 Three times thou shalt keep a feast to me in the year. 002 EXO 023 015 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: ) 002 EXO 023 016 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. 002 EXO 023 017 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD. 002 EXO 023 018 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. 002 EXO 023 019 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother’s milk. 002 EXO 023 020 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 002 EXO 023 021 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 002 EXO 023 022 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and an adversary to thy adversaries. 002 EXO 023 023 For my Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 002 EXO 023 024 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 002 EXO 023 025 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 002 EXO 023 026 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: I will fulfil the number of thy days. 002 EXO 023 027 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thy enemies turn their backs to thee. 002 EXO 023 028 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 002 EXO 023 029 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land should become desolate, and the beast of the field should multiply against thee. 002 EXO 023 030 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou shalt be increased, and inherit the land. 002 EXO 023 031 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 002 EXO 023 032 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 002 EXO 023 033 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee to sin against me: for if thou shalt serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to thee. 002 EXO 024 001 And he said to Moses, Come up to the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 002 EXO 024 002 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him. 002 EXO 024 003 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. 002 EXO 024 004 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 002 EXO 024 005 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD. 002 EXO 024 006 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 002 EXO 024 007 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the hearing of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. 002 EXO 024 008 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. 002 EXO 024 009 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 002 EXO 024 010 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in its clearness. 002 EXO 024 011 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and ate and drank. 002 EXO 024 012 And the LORD said to Moses, Come up to me on the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. 002 EXO 024 013 And Moses rose up, and his servant Joshua: and Moses went up upon the mount of God. 002 EXO 024 014 And he said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man hath any matters to do, let him come to them. 002 EXO 024 015 And Moses went up upon the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 002 EXO 024 016 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. 002 EXO 024 017 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. 002 EXO 024 018 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and he went up to the mount: and Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights. 002 EXO 025 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 025 002 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. 002 EXO 025 003 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, 002 EXO 025 004 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, 002 EXO 025 005 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood, 002 EXO 025 006 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, 002 EXO 025 007 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. 002 EXO 025 008 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. 002 EXO 025 009 According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture, even so shall ye make it. 002 EXO 025 010 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 002 EXO 025 011 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold around it. 002 EXO 025 012 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; and two rings shall be in its one side, and two rings in its other side. 002 EXO 025 013 And thou shalt make staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 002 EXO 025 014 And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 002 EXO 025 015 The staffs shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. 002 EXO 025 016 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. 002 EXO 025 017 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 002 EXO 025 018 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. 002 EXO 025 019 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends. 002 EXO 025 020 And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. 002 EXO 025 021 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 002 EXO 025 022 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the children of Israel. 002 EXO 025 023 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its height a cubit and a half. 002 EXO 025 024 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make for it a crown of gold around it. 002 EXO 025 025 And thou shalt make for it a border of an hand breadth around it, and thou shalt make a golden crown to its border around it. 002 EXO 025 026 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet. 002 EXO 025 027 Close to the border shall the rings be for places of the staffs to bear the table. 002 EXO 025 028 And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. 002 EXO 025 029 And thou shalt make its dishes, and its spoons, and its covers, and its bowls, to cover it with: of pure gold shalt thou make them. 002 EXO 025 030 And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me always. 002 EXO 025 031 And thou shalt make a lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work shall the lampstand be made: its shaft, and its branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of the same. 002 EXO 025 032 And six branches shall extend from the sides of it;

neither shall ye pour drink offering on it. 002 EXO 030 010 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy to the LORD. 002 EXO 030 011 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 030 012 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there may be no plague among them, when thou numberest them. 002 EXO 030 013 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs: ) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD. 002 EXO 030 014 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD. 002 EXO 030 015 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering to the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls. 002 EXO 030 016 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls. 002 EXO 030 017 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 030 018 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and its foot also of brass, to wash in: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water in it. 002 EXO 030 019 For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their feet from it: 002 EXO 030 020 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to the LORD: 002 EXO 030 021 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. 002 EXO 030 022 Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 030 023 Take thou also to thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 002 EXO 030 024 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil an hin: 002 EXO 030 025 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the perfumer: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 002 EXO 030 026 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation with it, and the ark of the testimony, 002 EXO 030 027 And the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its vessels, and the altar of incense, 002 EXO 030 028 And the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot. 002 EXO 030 029 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy. 002 EXO 030 030 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 030 031 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations. 002 EXO 030 032 Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 002 EXO 030 033 Whoever compoundeth any like it, or whoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people. 002 EXO 030 034 And the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight: 002 EXO 030 035 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the perfumer, tempered together, pure and holy: 002 EXO 030 036 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be to you most holy. 002 EXO 030 037 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall be to thee holy for the LORD. 002 EXO 030 038 Whoever shall make any like it, to smell it, shall even be cut off from his people. 002 EXO 031 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 031 002 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 002 EXO 031 003 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 002 EXO 031 004 To make beautifully wrought works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 002 EXO 031 005 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. 002 EXO 031 006 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee; 002 EXO 031 007 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is upon it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, 002 EXO 031 008 And the table and its furniture, and the pure lampstand with all its furniture, and the altar of incense, 002 EXO 031 009 And the altar of burnt offering with all its furniture, and the laver and its foot, 002 EXO 031 010 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office, 002 EXO 031 011 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. 002 EXO 031 012 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 031 013 Speak thou also to the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. 002 EXO 031 014 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death: for whoever doeth any work in it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 002 EXO 031 015 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 031 016 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 002 EXO 031 017 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 002 EXO 031 018 And to Moses, when he finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai, he gave two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. 002 EXO 032 001 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Arise, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 002 EXO 032 002 And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me. 002 EXO 032 003 And all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 002 EXO 032 004 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 032 005 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. 002 EXO 032 006 And they rose early on the next morning, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 002 EXO 032 007 And the LORD said to Moses, Go, go down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 002 EXO 032 008 They have turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 032 009 And the LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 002 EXO 032 010 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 002 EXO 032 011 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath burn against thy people, which thou hast brought forth from the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 002 EXO 032 012 Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For evil did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 002 EXO 032 013 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 002 EXO 032 014 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people. 002 EXO 032 015 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 002 EXO 032 016 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tables. 002 EXO 032 017 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 002 EXO 032 018 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 002 EXO 032 019 And it came to pass, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger burned, and he cast the tables from his hands, and broke them beneath the mount. 002 EXO 032 020 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. 002 EXO 032 021 And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 002 EXO 032 022 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord burn: thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil. 002 EXO 032 023 For they said to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 002 EXO 032 024 And I said to them, Whoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 002 EXO 032 025 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked to their shame among their enemies: ) 002 EXO 032 026 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD’S side? let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 002 EXO 032 027 And he said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 002 EXO 032 028 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 002 EXO 032 029 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 002 EXO 032 030 And it came to pass on the next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I shall make an atonement for your sin. 002 EXO 032 031 And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, O, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 002 EXO 032 032 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin --; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 002 EXO 032 033 And the LORD said to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 002 EXO 032 034 Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to thee: behold, my angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. 002 EXO 032 035 And the LORD afflicted the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 002 EXO 033 001 And the LORD said to Moses, Depart, and go up from here, thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed will I give it: 002 EXO 033 002 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 002 EXO 033 003 To a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way. 002 EXO 033 004 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on him his ornaments. 002 EXO 033 005 For the LORD had said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do to thee. 002 EXO 033 006 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 002 EXO 033 007 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one who sought the LORD went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, which was outside the camp. 002 EXO 033 008 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the tabernacle. 002 EXO 033 009 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses. 002 EXO 033 010 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshipped, every man in his tent door. 002 EXO 033 011 And the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 002 EXO 033 012 And Moses said to the LORD, See, thou sayest to me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 002 EXO 033 013 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 002 EXO 033 014 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 002 EXO 033 015 And he said to him, If thy presence go not with me, lead us not up from here. 002 EXO 033 016 For how then shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 002 EXO 033 017 And the LORD said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 002 EXO 033 018 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. 002 EXO 033 019 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 002 EXO 033 020 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 002 EXO 033 021 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 002 EXO 033 022 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 002 EXO 033 023 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. 002 EXO 034 001 And the LORD said to Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou didst break. 002 EXO 034 002 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount. 002 EXO 034 003 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. 002 EXO 034 004 And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. 002 EXO 034 005 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 002 EXO 034 006 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 002 EXO 034 007 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, to the third and to the fourth generation. 002 EXO 034 008 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 002 EXO 034 009 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thy inheritance. 002 EXO 034 010 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. 002 EXO 034 011 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 002 EXO 034 012 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: 002 EXO 034 013 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 002 EXO 034 014 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: 002 EXO 034 015 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go astray after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; 002 EXO 034 016 And thou take of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters go astray after their gods, and make thy sons go astray after their gods. 002 EXO 034 017 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 002 EXO 034 018 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out of from Egypt. 002 EXO 034 019 All that openeth the womb is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. 002 EXO 034 020 But the firstling of a donkey thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou shalt not redeem him, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty. 002 EXO 034 021 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in time of plowing and in harvest thou shalt rest. 002 EXO 034 022 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end. 002 EXO 034 023 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. 002 EXO 034 024 For I will drive out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God three times in the year. 002 EXO 034 025 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the morning. 002 EXO 034 026 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring to the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother’s milk. 002 EXO 034 027 And the LORD said to Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 002 EXO 034 028 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. 002 EXO 034 029 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 002 EXO 034 030 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him. 002 EXO 034 031 And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him: and Moses talked with them. 002 EXO 034 032 And afterward all the children of Israel came near: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 002 EXO 034 033 And till Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 002 EXO 034 034 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded. 002 EXO 034 035 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him. 002 EXO 035 001 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. 002 EXO 035 002 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whoever doth work in it shall be put to death. 002 EXO 035 003 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. 002 EXO 035 004 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, 002 EXO 035 005 Take ye from among you an offering to the LORD: whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, 002 EXO 035 006 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, 002 EXO 035 007 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood, 002 EXO 035 008 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, 002 EXO 035 009 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate. 002 EXO 035 010 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded; 002 EXO 035 011 The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets, 002 EXO 035 012 The ark, and its staffs, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering, 002 EXO 035 013 The table, and its staffs, and all its vessels, and the showbread, 002 EXO 035 014 The lampstand also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light, 002 EXO 035 015 And the incense altar, and its staffs, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle, 002 EXO 035 016 The altar of burnt offering, with its brasen grate, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot, 002 EXO 035 017 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, 002 EXO 035 018 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 002 EXO 035 019 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 035 020 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 002 EXO 035 021 And they came, every one whose heart was stirred, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. 002 EXO 035 022 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and necklaces, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold to the LORD. 002 EXO 035 023 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers’ skins, brought them. 002 EXO 035 024 Every one that offered an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD’S offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. 002 EXO 035 025 And all the women that were wise hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. 002 EXO 035 026 And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats’ hair. 002 EXO 035 027 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 002 EXO 035 028 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 002 EXO 035 029 The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. 002 EXO 035 030 And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 002 EXO 035 031 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; 002 EXO 035 032 And to make beautifully wrought works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 002 EXO 035 033 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of skilful work. 002 EXO 035 034 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 002 EXO 035 035 He hath filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the skilful workmen, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that make beautifully wrought work. 002 EXO 036 001 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded. 002 EXO 036 002 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it: 002 EXO 036 003 And they received from Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it with. And they brought yet to him free offerings every morning. 002 EXO 036 004 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made; 002 EXO 036 005 And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make. 002 EXO 036 006 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing. 002 EXO 036 007 For the things they had were sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. 002 EXO 036 008 And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: he made them with cherubim of skilful work. 002 EXO 036 009 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size. 002 EXO 036 010 And he coupled the five curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another. 002 EXO 036 011 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the extremity of another curtain, in the coupling of the second. 002 EXO 036 012 Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another. 002 EXO 036 013 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so it became one tabernacle. 002 EXO 036 014 And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them. 002 EXO 036 015 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size. 002 EXO 036 016 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. 002 EXO 036 017 And he made fifty loops upon the outer edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. 002 EXO 036 018 And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 002 EXO 036 019 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above that. 002 EXO 036 020 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up. 002 EXO 036 021 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half. 002 EXO 036 022 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 002 EXO 036 023 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward: 002 EXO 036 024 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. 002 EXO 036 025 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, 002 EXO 036 026 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 002 EXO 036 027 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. 002 EXO 036 028 And two boards he made for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 002 EXO 036 029 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at its head, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners. 002 EXO 036 030 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets. 002 EXO 036 031 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 002 EXO 036 032 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward. 002 EXO 036 033 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other. 002 EXO 036 034 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 002 EXO 036 035 And he made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim he made it of skilful work. 002 EXO 036 036 And he made for it four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. 002 EXO 036 037 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework; 002 EXO 036 038 And its five pillars with their hooks: and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold: but their five sockets were of brass. 002 EXO 037 001 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: 002 EXO 037 002 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold for it all around. 002 EXO 037 003 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by its four corners;

as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 002 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 002 EXO 039 003 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with skilful work. 002 EXO 039 004 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together. 002 EXO 039 005 And the beautifully woven band of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to its work; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 006 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in settings of gold, engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the children of Israel. 002 EXO 039 007 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 008 And he made the breastplate of skilful work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 002 EXO 039 009 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, being doubled. 002 EXO 039 010 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row. 002 EXO 039 011 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. 002 EXO 039 012 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. 002 EXO 039 013 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in settings of gold in their inclosings. 002 EXO 039 014 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes. 002 EXO 039 015 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of braided work of pure gold. 002 EXO 039 016 And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. 002 EXO 039 017 And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 002 EXO 039 018 And the two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it. 002 EXO 039 019 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward. 002 EXO 039 020 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, opposite its other coupling, above the beautifully woven band of the ephod. 002 EXO 039 021 And they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the beautifully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 022 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 002 EXO 039 023 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a band around the hole, that it should not rend. 002 EXO 039 024 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. 002 EXO 039 025 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, around between the pomegranates; 002 EXO 039 026 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 027 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, 002 EXO 039 028 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly headdresses of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen, 002 EXO 039 029 And a waistband of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 030 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 002 EXO 039 031 And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 032 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they. 002 EXO 039 033 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, 002 EXO 039 034 And the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the veil of the covering, 002 EXO 039 035 The ark of the testimony, and its staffs, and the mercy seat, 002 EXO 039 036 The table, and all its vessels, and the showbread, 002 EXO 039 037 The pure lampstand, with its lamps, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for light, 002 EXO 039 038 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door, 002 EXO 039 039 The brasen altar, and its grate of brass, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot, 002 EXO 039 040 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, its cords, and its pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation, 002 EXO 039 041 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 039 042 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work. 002 EXO 039 043 And Moses looked upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them. 002 EXO 040 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 002 EXO 040 002 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 002 EXO 040 003 And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the veil. 002 EXO 040 004 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps. 002 EXO 040 005 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 006 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 002 EXO 040 007 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water in it. 002 EXO 040 008 And thou shalt set up the court all around, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. 002 EXO 040 009 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its vessels: and it shall be holy. 002 EXO 040 010 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy. 002 EXO 040 011 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify it. 002 EXO 040 012 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. 002 EXO 040 013 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to me in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 040 014 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 002 EXO 040 015 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. 002 EXO 040 016 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he. 002 EXO 040 017 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. 002 EXO 040 018 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars. 002 EXO 040 019 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 020 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staffs on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: 002 EXO 040 021 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 022 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil. 002 EXO 040 023 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 024 And he put the lampstand in the tent of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 002 EXO 040 025 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 026 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil: 002 EXO 040 027 And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 028 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 029 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 030 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash with. 002 EXO 040 031 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet from it: 002 EXO 040 032 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near to the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 033 And he reared up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. 002 EXO 040 034 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 035 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 036 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: 002 EXO 040 037 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 002 EXO 040 038 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. # # BOOK 003 LEV Leviticus Leviticus 003 LEV 001 001 And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 003 LEV 001 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. 003 LEV 001 003 If his offering shall be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. 003 LEV 001 004 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 003 LEV 001 005 And he shall kill the bull before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 001 006 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces. 003 LEV 001 007 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: 003 LEV 001 008 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 003 LEV 001 009 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 001 010 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. 003 LEV 001 011 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar. 003 LEV 001 012 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 003 LEV 001 013 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 001 014 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 003 LEV 001 015 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: 003 LEV 001 016 And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: 003 LEV 001 017 And he shall cleave it with its wings, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 002 001 And when any will offer a meat offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense on it: 003 LEV 002 002 And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take from it his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all of its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD: 003 LEV 002 003 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. 003 LEV 002 004 And if thou shalt bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 003 LEV 002 005 And if thy oblation shall be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil. 003 LEV 002 006 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil on it: it is a meat offering. 003 LEV 002 007 And if thy oblation shall be a meat offering baked in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 003 LEV 002 008 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things to the LORD: and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 003 LEV 002 009 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial of it, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 002 010 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. 003 LEV 002 011 No meat offering, which ye shall bring to the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire. 003 LEV 002 012 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them to the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour. 003 LEV 002 013 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou allow the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thy offerings thou shalt offer salt. 003 LEV 002 014 And if thou shalt offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits to the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of grain dried by the fire, even grain beaten out of full ears. 003 LEV 002 015 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meat offering. 003 LEV 002 016 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of its beaten grain, and part of its oil, with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 003 001 And if his oblation shall be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he shall offer it of the herd; whether a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. 003 LEV 003 002 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood around upon the altar. 003 LEV 003 003 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 003 LEV 003 004 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. 003 LEV 003 005 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 003 006 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD shall be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 003 LEV 003 007 If he shall offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD. 003 LEV 003 008 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood of it around upon the altar. 003 LEV 003 009 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; its fat, and the whole rump, that shall he take off close to the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 003 LEV 003 010 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away. 003 LEV 003 011 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 003 012 And if his offering shall be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD. 003 LEV 003 013 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around upon the altar. 003 LEV 003 014 And he shall offer of it his offering, even an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 003 LEV 003 015 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away. 003 LEV 003 016 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is the LORD’S. 003 LEV 003 017 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. 003 LEV 004 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 004 002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall break any of them: 003 LEV 004 003 If the priest that is anointed shall sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering. 003 LEV 004 004 And he shall bring the bull to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the LORD. 003 LEV 004 005 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bull’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 003 LEV 004 006 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary. 003 LEV 004 007 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bull at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 004 008 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bull for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 003 LEV 004 009 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away, 003 LEV 004 010 As it was taken off from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 011 And the skin of the bull, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 003 LEV 004 012 Even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt. 003 LEV 004 013 And if the whole congregation of Israel shall sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty; 003 LEV 004 014 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 004 015 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull before the LORD: and the bull shall be killed before the LORD. 003 LEV 004 016 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation: 003 LEV 004 017 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the veil. 003 LEV 004 018 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 004 019 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar. 003 LEV 004 020 And he shall do with the bull as he did with the bull for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 003 LEV 004 021 And he shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bull: it is a sin offering for the congregation. 003 LEV 004 022 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty; 003 LEV 004 023 Or if his sin, in which he hath sinned, shall come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish: 003 LEV 004 024 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering. 003 LEV 004 025 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 026 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 004 027 And if any one of the common people shall sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; 003 LEV 004 028 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, shall come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned. 003 LEV 004 029 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 030 And the priest shall take of the blood of it with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all its blood at the bottom of the altar. 003 LEV 004 031 And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 004 032 And if he shall bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish. 003 LEV 004 033 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 034 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood of it at the bottom of the altar: 003 LEV 004 035 And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 005 001 And if a soul shall sin, and hear the voice of an oath, and be a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he doth not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. 003 LEV 005 002 Or if a soul shall touch any unclean thing, whether a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and it shall be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty. 003 LEV 005 003 Or if he shall touch the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it may be that a man shall be defiled with, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty. 003 LEV 005 004 Or if a soul shall make an oath, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it may be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these. 003 LEV 005 005 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing: 003 LEV 005 006 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin. 003 LEV 005 007 And if he shall not be able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 003 LEV 005 008 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder: 003 LEV 005 009 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering. 003 LEV 005 010 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the custom: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 005 011 But if he shall not be able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it: for it is a sin offering. 003 LEV 005 012 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD: it is a sin offering. 003 LEV 005 013 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering. 003 LEV 005 014 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 005 015 If a soul shall commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass to the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering: 003 LEV 005 016 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add to it the fifth part, and give it to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 005 017 And if a soul shall sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 003 LEV 005 018 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance in which he erred and knew it not, and it shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 005 019 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD. 003 LEV 006 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 002 If a soul shall sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie to his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; 003 LEV 006 003 Or hath found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning in it: 003 LEV 006 004 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by force, or the thing which he obtained by deceit, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, 003 LEV 006 005 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add to it the fifth part more, and give it to him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. 003 LEV 006 006 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest: 003 LEV 006 007 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing in it. 003 LEV 006 008 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 009 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 003 LEV 006 010 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 003 LEV 006 011 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 003 LEV 006 012 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning on it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 003 LEV 006 013 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. 003 LEV 006 014 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 003 LEV 006 015 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, to the LORD. 003 LEV 006 016 And the remainder of it shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it. 003 LEV 006 017 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. 003 LEV 006 018 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy. 003 LEV 006 019 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 020 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half of it at night. 003 LEV 006 021 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baked, thou shalt bring it in: and the baked pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 006 022 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever to the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt. 003 LEV 006 023 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten. 003 LEV 006 024 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 025 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy. 003 LEV 006 026 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 006 027 Whatever shall touch the flesh of it shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of its blood upon any garment, thou shalt wash that on which it was sprinkled in the holy place. 003 LEV 006 028 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken: and if it shall be boiled in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water. 003 LEV 006 029 All the males among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy. 003 LEV 006 030 And no sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire. 003 LEV 007 001 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy. 003 LEV 007 002 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood of it shall he sprinkle around upon the altar. 003 LEV 007 003 And he shall offer of it all its fat; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, 003 LEV 007 004 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the fat that is above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away: 003 LEV 007 005 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering. 003 LEV 007 006 Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy. 003 LEV 007 007 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement with it shall have it. 003 LEV 007 008 And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered. 003 LEV 007 009 And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it. 003 LEV 007 010 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another. 003 LEV 007 011 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer to the LORD. 003 LEV 007 012 If he shall offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried. 003 LEV 007 013 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 003 LEV 007 014 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering to the LORD, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings. 003 LEV 007 015 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning. 003 LEV 007 016 But if the sacrifice of his offering shall be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the next day also the remainder of it shall be eaten: 003 LEV 007 017 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. 003 LEV 007 018 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings shall be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. 003 LEV 007 019 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that shall be clean shall eat of it. 003 LEV 007 020 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 021 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain to the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 022 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 007 023 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. 003 LEV 007 024 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used for any other purpose: but ye shall by no means eat of it. 003 LEV 007 025 For whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 026 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. 003 LEV 007 027 Whatever soul it may be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 028 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 007 029 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his oblation to the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 003 LEV 007 030 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, that shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD. 003 LEV 007 031 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. 003 LEV 007 032 And the right shoulder shall ye give to the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 003 LEV 007 033 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part. 003 LEV 007 034 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel. 003 LEV 007 035 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office; 003 LEV 007 036 Which the LORD commanded to be given to them by the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations. 003 LEV 007 037 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings; 003 LEV 007 038 Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai. 003 LEV 008 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 008 002 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bull for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 003 LEV 008 003 And gather thou all the congregation together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 008 004 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 008 005 And Moses said to the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done. 003 LEV 008 006 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 003 LEV 008 007 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the waistband, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the beautifully woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him with it. 003 LEV 008 008 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. 003 LEV 008 009 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his front, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 010 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. 003 LEV 008 011 And he sprinkled part of it upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, both the laver and its foot, to sanctify them. 003 LEV 008 012 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 003 LEV 008 013 And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with waistbands, and put headdresses upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 014 And he brought the bull for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bull for the sin offering. 003 LEV 008 015 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around upon the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it. 003 LEV 008 016 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. 003 LEV 008 017 But the bull, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 018 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 003 LEV 008 019 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around upon the altar. 003 LEV 008 020 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 003 LEV 008 021 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire to the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 022 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 003 LEV 008 023 And he slew it; and Moses took of its blood, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 003 LEV 008 024 And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood around upon the altar. 003 LEV 008 025 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder: 003 LEV 008 026 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder: 003 LEV 008 027 And he put all upon Aaron’s hands, and upon his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 003 LEV 008 028 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 008 029 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses’ part; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 030 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. 003 LEV 008 031 And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 003 LEV 008 032 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 003 LEV 008 033 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration shall be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. 003 LEV 008 034 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 003 LEV 008 035 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. 003 LEV 008 036 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses. 003 LEV 009 001 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; 003 LEV 009 002 And he said to Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. 003 LEV 009 003 And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; 003 LEV 009 004 Also a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mixed with oil: for to day the LORD will appear to you. 003 LEV 009 005 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. 003 LEV 009 006 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear to you. 003 LEV 009 007 And Moses said to Aaron, Go to the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded. 003 LEV 009 008 Aaron therefore went to the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 003 LEV 009 009 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar: 003 LEV 009 010 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the fat above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 009 011 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside the camp. 003 LEV 009 012 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled around upon the altar. 003 LEV 009 013 And they presented the burnt offering to him, with the pieces of it, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar. 003 LEV 009 014 And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar. 003 LEV 009 015 And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first. 003 LEV 009 016 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. 003 LEV 009 017 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful of it, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 003 LEV 009 018 He slew also the bull and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled it around upon the altar, 003 LEV 009 019 And the fat of the bull and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the fat above the liver: 003 LEV 009 020 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar: 003 LEV 009 021 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded. 003 LEV 009 022 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 003 LEV 009 023 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. 003 LEV 009 024 And there came out a fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. 003 LEV 010 001 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 003 LEV 010 002 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 003 LEV 010 003 Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. 003 LEV 010 004 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 003 LEV 010 005 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. 003 LEV 010 006 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled. 003 LEV 010 007 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses. 003 LEV 010 008 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 010 009 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: 003 LEV 010 010 And that ye may make a difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 003 LEV 010 011 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses. 003 LEV 010 012 And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy: 003 LEV 010 013 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. 003 LEV 010 014 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are thy due, and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. 003 LEV 010 015 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded. 003 LEV 010 016 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying, 003 LEV 010 017 Why have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? 003 LEV 010 018 Behold, the blood of it was not brought within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded. 003 LEV 010 019 And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD? 003 LEV 010 020 And when Moses heard that, he was content. 003 LEV 011 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 003 LEV 011 002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 003 LEV 011 003 Whatever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 003 LEV 011 004 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 005 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 006 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 007 And the swine, though he divideth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 008 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 009 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 003 LEV 011 010 And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living creature which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you: 003 LEV 011 011 They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 003 LEV 011 012 Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you. 003 LEV 011 013 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 003 LEV 011 014 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 003 LEV 011 015 Every raven after his kind; 003 LEV 011 016 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 003 LEV 011 017 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 003 LEV 011 018 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 003 LEV 011 019 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 003 LEV 011 020 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination to you. 003 LEV 011 021 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth; 003 LEV 011 022 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind. 003 LEV 011 023 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you. 003 LEV 011 024 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 011 025 And whoever beareth any of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 011 026 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 003 LEV 011 027 And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 011 028 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 029 These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind, 003 LEV 011 030 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 003 LEV 011 031 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 011 032 And upon whatever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed. 003 LEV 011 033 And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 003 LEV 011 034 Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 003 LEV 011 035 And every thing on which any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 036 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. 003 LEV 011 037 And if any part of their carcase shall fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 003 LEV 011 038 But if any water shall be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase shall fall on it, it shall be unclean to you. 003 LEV 011 039 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcase shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 011 040 And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also that beareth its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 011 041 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 003 LEV 011 042 Whatever goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon all four, or whatever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. 003 LEV 011 043 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by them. 003 LEV 011 044 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 003 LEV 011 045 For I am the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 003 LEV 011 046 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 003 LEV 011 047 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. 003 LEV 012 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 012 002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a woman hath conceived seed, and borne a boy: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 003 LEV 012 003 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 003 LEV 012 004 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. 003 LEV 012 005 But if she shall bear a girl, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying sixty and six days. 003 LEV 012 006 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest: 003 LEV 012 007 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath borne a male or a female. 003 LEV 012 008 And if she shall not be able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean. 003 LEV 013 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 013 002 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests: 003 LEV 013 003 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean. 003 LEV 013 004 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days: 003 LEV 013 005 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight is at a stay, and the plague spreadeth not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more: 003 LEV 013 006 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague is somewhat dark, and the plague spreadeth not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 003 LEV 013 007 But if the scab shall spread much in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again: 003 LEV 013 008 And if the priest shall see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy. 003 LEV 013 009 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest; 003 LEV 013 010 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the swelling is white in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and there is living raw flesh in the swelling; 003 LEV 013 011 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean. 003 LEV 013 012 And if a leprosy shall break out in the skin, and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest looketh; 003 LEV 013 013 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. 003 LEV 013 014 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. 003 LEV 013 015 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy. 003 LEV 013 016 Or if the raw flesh shall turn again, and be changed into white, he shall come to the priest; 003 LEV 013 017 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague is turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean. 003 LEV 013 018 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin of it, was a boil, and is healed, 003 LEV 013 019 And in the place of the boil there shall be a white swelling, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest; 003 LEV 013 020 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it is in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it is turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil. 003 LEV 013 021 But if the priest shall look on it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and if it is not lower than the skin, but somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 003 LEV 013 022 And if it hath spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague. 003 LEV 013 023 But if the bright spot shall stay in its place, and not spread, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 003 LEV 013 024 Or if there is any flesh, in the skin of which there is a hot burning, and the live flesh that burneth hath a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white; 003 LEV 013 025 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot is turned white, and it is in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 003 LEV 013 026 But if the priest shall look on it, and, behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the other skin, but is somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 003 LEV 013 027 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it is spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 003 LEV 013 028 And if the bright spot shall stay in its place, and not spread in the skin, but be somewhat dark; it is a swelling of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning. 003 LEV 013 029 If a man or woman shall have a plague upon the head or the beard; 003 LEV 013 030 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it is in sight deeper than the skin; and there is in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard. 003 LEV 013 031 And if the priest shall look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days: 003 LEV 013 032 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spreadeth not, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall is not in sight deeper than the skin; 003 LEV 013 033 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more: 003 LEV 013 034 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall is not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 003 LEV 013 035 But if the scall shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing; 003 LEV 013 036 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean. 003 LEV 013 037 But if the scall shall be in his sight at a stay, and there is black hair grown in it; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 003 LEV 013 038 If a man also or a woman shall have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; 003 LEV 013 039 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh are darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean. 003 LEV 013 040 And the man whose hair hath fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. 003 LEV 013 041 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean. 003 LEV 013 042 And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead. 003 LEV 013 043 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the swelling of the sore is white reddish on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh; 003 LEV 013 044 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head. 003 LEV 013 045 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 003 LEV 013 046 All the days in which the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his habitation be. 003 LEV 013 047 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 003 LEV 013 048 Whether in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; 003 LEV 013 049 And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest: 003 LEV 013 050 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up that which hath the plague seven days: 003 LEV 013 051 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague is spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is an active leprosy; it is unclean. 003 LEV 013 052 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, in which the plague is: for it is an active leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire. 003 LEV 013 053 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague is not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; 003 LEV 013 054 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more: 003 LEV 013 055 And the priest shall look on the plague, after it is washed: and, behold, if the plague hath not changed its colour, and the plague hath not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it eateth away inward, whether it is bare within or without. 003 LEV 013 056 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague is somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: 003 LEV 013 057 And if it shall appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that in which the plague is with fire. 003 LEV 013 058 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which thou shalt wash, if the plague hath departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean. 003 LEV 013 059 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean. 003 LEV 014 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 014 002 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest: 003 LEV 014 003 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper; 003 LEV 014 004 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 003 LEV 014 005 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: 003 LEV 014 006 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: 003 LEV 014 007 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. 003 LEV 014 008 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 003 LEV 014 009 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 003 LEV 014 010 And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth parts of fine flour for a meat offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. 003 LEV 014 011 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 003 LEV 014 012 And the priest shall take one male lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 003 LEV 014 013 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy: 003 LEV 014 014 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: 003 LEV 014 015 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: 003 LEV 014 016 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD: 003 LEV 014 017 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering: 003 LEV 014 018 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD. 003 LEV 014 019 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: 003 LEV 014 020 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 003 LEV 014 021 And if he is poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil; 003 LEV 014 022 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. 003 LEV 014 023 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD. 003 LEV 014 024 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 003 LEV 014 025 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: 003 LEV 014 026 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: 003 LEV 014 027 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD: 003 LEV 014 028 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering: 003 LEV 014 029 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD. 003 LEV 014 030 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 003 LEV 014 031 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD. 003 LEV 014 032 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing. 003 LEV 014 033 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 014 034 When ye shall have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 003 LEV 014 035 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house: 003 LEV 014 036 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest shall enter to see the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house: 003 LEV 014 037 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; 003 LEV 014 038 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: 003 LEV 014 039 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague is spread in the walls of the house; 003 LEV 014 040 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city: 003 LEV 014 041 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within on all sides, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place: 003 LEV 014 042 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house. 003 LEV 014 043 And if the plague shall return, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered; 003 LEV 014 044 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague is spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 003 LEV 014 045 And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place. 003 LEV 014 046 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 014 047 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 003 LEV 014 048 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 003 LEV 014 049 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 003 LEV 014 050 And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: 003 LEV 014 051 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times: 003 LEV 014 052 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet: 003 LEV 014 053 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean. 003 LEV 014 054 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 003 LEV 014 055 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 003 LEV 014 056 And for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 003 LEV 014 057 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy. 003 LEV 015 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 015 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 003 LEV 015 003 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh shall run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 003 LEV 015 004 Every bed, on which he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, on which he sitteth, shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 005 And whoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 006 And he that sitteth on any thing on which he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 007 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 008 And if he that hath the issue shall spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 009 And whatever saddle he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 010 And whoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the evening: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 011 And whomever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 012 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth who hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 003 LEV 015 013 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 003 LEV 015 014 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them to the priest: 003 LEV 015 015 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue. 003 LEV 015 016 And if any man’s seed of copulation shall go from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 017 And every garment, and every skin, on which is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 018 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 019 And if a woman shall have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 020 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 021 And whoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 022 And whoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 023 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing on which she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 024 And if any man shall lie with her at all, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed on which he lieth shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 025 And if a woman shall have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it shall run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 026 Every bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her separation: and whatever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 003 LEV 015 027 And whoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 003 LEV 015 028 But if she shall be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 003 LEV 015 029 And on the eighth day she shall take to her two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 015 030 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness. 003 LEV 015 031 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. 003 LEV 015 032 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and he is defiled by it; 003 LEV 015 033 And of her that is sick of her impurity, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean. 003 LEV 016 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; 003 LEV 016 002 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he may not die: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. 003 LEV 016 003 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 003 LEV 016 004 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen waistband, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. 003 LEV 016 005 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. 003 LEV 016 006 And Aaron shall offer his bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. 003 LEV 016 007 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 003 LEV 016 008 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. 003 LEV 016 009 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. 003 LEV 016 010 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. 003 LEV 016 011 And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself: 003 LEV 016 012 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: 003 LEV 016 013 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he may not die: 003 LEV 016 014 And he shall take of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. 003 LEV 016 015 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: 003 LEV 016 016 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 003 LEV 016 017 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he shall come out, and shall have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. 003 LEV 016 018 And he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bull, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar on all sides. 003 LEV 016 019 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. 003 LEV 016 020 And when he hath finished making an atonement for the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: 003 LEV 016 021 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: 003 LEV 016 022 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. 003 LEV 016 023 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: 003 LEV 016 024 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. 003 LEV 016 025 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. 003 LEV 016 026 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. 003 LEV 016 027 And the bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth outside the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. 003 LEV 016 028 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 003 LEV 016 029 And this shall be a statute for ever to you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: 003 LEV 016 030 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. 003 LEV 016 031 It shall be a sabbath of rest to you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. 003 LEV 016 032 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: 003 LEV 016 033 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation. 003 LEV 016 034 And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 017 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 017 002 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying, 003 LEV 017 003 Whatever man there may be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it outside of the camp, 003 LEV 017 004 And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 003 LEV 017 005 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them for peace offerings to the LORD. 003 LEV 017 006 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 017 007 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, with which they have committed idolatry. This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations. 003 LEV 017 008 And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man there may be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, 003 LEV 017 009 And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people. 003 LEV 017 010 And whatever man there may be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 003 LEV 017 011 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 003 LEV 017 012 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 003 LEV 017 013 And whatever man there may be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, who hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 003 LEV 017 014 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life of it: therefore I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off. 003 LEV 017 015 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it is one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then shall he be clean. 003 LEV 017 016 But if he doth not wash them, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity. 003 LEV 018 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 018 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 018 003 After the doings of the land of Egypt, in which ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. 003 LEV 018 004 Ye shall perform my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 018 005 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man doeth, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 018 006 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 018 007 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 003 LEV 018 008 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness. 003 LEV 018 009 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 003 LEV 018 010 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thy own nakedness. 003 LEV 018 011 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten by thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 003 LEV 018 012 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman. 003 LEV 018 013 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman. 003 LEV 018 014 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thy aunt. 003 LEV 018 015 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 003 LEV 018 016 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness. 003 LEV 018 017 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 003 LEV 018 018 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 003 LEV 018 019 Also thou shalt not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 003 LEV 018 020 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her. 003 LEV 018 021 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 018 022 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 003 LEV 018 023 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself with it: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down with it: it is confusion. 003 LEV 018 024 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 003 LEV 018 025 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit its iniquity upon it, and the land itself spueth out her inhabitants. 003 LEV 018 026 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 003 LEV 018 027 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land is defiled; ) 003 LEV 018 028 That the land may not spue you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 003 LEV 018 029 For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 003 LEV 018 030 Therefore shall ye keep my ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves in them: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 019 002 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. 003 LEV 019 003 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 004 Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 005 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 003 LEV 019 006 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the next day: and if any thing shall remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 003 LEV 019 007 And if it shall be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 003 LEV 019 008 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 003 LEV 019 009 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 003 LEV 019 010 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 011 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 003 LEV 019 012 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 013 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 003 LEV 019 014 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 015 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. 003 LEV 019 016 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 017 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not allow sin upon him. 003 LEV 019 018 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 019 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle breed with another kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mixed seed: neither shall a garment of linen and woollen woven together come upon thee. 003 LEV 019 020 And whoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a slave, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 003 LEV 019 021 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. 003 LEV 019 022 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him. 003 LEV 019 023 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of. 003 LEV 019 024 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy to praise the LORD with. 003 LEV 019 025 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 026 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 003 LEV 019 027 Ye shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 003 LEV 019 028 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 029 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be an harlot; lest the land should fall to harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness. 003 LEV 019 030 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 031 Regard not them that have mediums, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 032 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 033 And if a stranger shall sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not oppress him. 003 LEV 019 034 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be to you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 035 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in length, in weight, or in volume. 003 LEV 019 036 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 003 LEV 019 037 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 020 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 020 002 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 003 LEV 020 003 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 003 LEV 020 004 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed to Molech, and kill him not: 003 LEV 020 005 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to commit harlotry with Molech, from among their people. 003 LEV 020 006 And the soul that turneth after such as have mediums, and after wizards, to go astray after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 003 LEV 020 007 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 020 008 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD who sanctifieth you. 003 LEV 020 009 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him. 003 LEV 020 010 And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 003 LEV 020 011 And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 003 LEV 020 012 And if a man shall lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 003 LEV 020 013 If a man also shall lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 003 LEV 020 014 And if a man shall take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. 003 LEV 020 015 And if a man shall lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. 003 LEV 020 016 And if a woman shall approach to any beast, and lie down with it, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 003 LEV 020 017 And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. 003 LEV 020 018 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 003 LEV 020 019 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity. 003 LEV 020 020 And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 003 LEV 020 021 And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless. 003 LEV 020 022 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, where I bring you to dwell in it, may not spue you out. 003 LEV 020 023 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. 003 LEV 020 024 But I have said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, who have separated you from other people. 003 LEV 020 025 Ye shall therefore make a difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 003 LEV 020 026 And ye shall be holy to me: for I the LORD am holy, and have separated you from other people, that ye should be mine. 003 LEV 020 027 A man also or a woman that hath a medium, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. 003 LEV 021 001 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people: 003 LEV 021 002 But for his kin, that is near to him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 003 LEV 021 003 And for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, who hath had no husband; for her he may be defiled. 003 LEV 021 004 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 003 LEV 021 005 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 003 LEV 021 006 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 003 LEV 021 007 They shall not take a wife that is an harlot, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy to his God. 003 LEV 021 008 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy to thee: for I the LORD, who sanctifieth you, am holy. 003 LEV 021 009 And the daughter of any priest, if she shall profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. 003 LEV 021 010 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 003 LEV 021 011 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 003 LEV 021 012 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 021 013 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 003 LEV 021 014 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people for a wife. 003 LEV 021 015 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD sanctifieth him. 003 LEV 021 016 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 021 017 Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever he may be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 003 LEV 021 018 For whatever man he may be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 003 LEV 021 019 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 003 LEV 021 020 Or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or eczema, or scabs, or hath his stones broken; 003 LEV 021 021 No man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 003 LEV 021 022 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 003 LEV 021 023 Only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries: for I the LORD sanctifieth them. 003 LEV 021 024 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel. 003 LEV 022 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 022 002 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow to me: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 003 Say to them, Whoever he may be of all your seed among your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 004 Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 003 LEV 022 005 Or whoever toucheth any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he hath; 003 LEV 022 006 The soul who hath touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he shall wash his flesh with water. 003 LEV 022 007 And when the sun is set, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 003 LEV 022 008 That which dieth of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 009 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD sanctifieth them. 003 LEV 022 010 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 003 LEV 022 011 But if the priest shall buy any person with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food. 003 LEV 022 012 If the priest’s daughter also shall be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 003 LEV 022 013 But if the priest’s daughter shall be a widow, or divorced, and shall have no child, and have returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s food: but there shall no stranger eat of it. 003 LEV 022 014 And if a man shall eat of the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall put to it the fifth part, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing. 003 LEV 022 015 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD; 003 LEV 022 016 Or allow them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD sanctifieth them. 003 LEV 022 017 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 022 018 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt offering; 003 LEV 022 019 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats. 003 LEV 022 020 But whatever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 003 LEV 022 021 And whoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be in it no blemish. 003 LEV 022 022 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a running sore, or eczema, or scabs, ye shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the LORD. 003 LEV 022 023 Either a bull or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 003 LEV 022 024 Ye shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering of it in your land. 003 LEV 022 025 Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them: they shall not be accepted for you. 003 LEV 022 026 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 022 027 When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 022 028 And whether it is cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. 003 LEV 022 029 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will. 003 LEV 022 030 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the next morning: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 031 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 032 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who doth hallow you, 003 LEV 022 033 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 023 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. 003 LEV 023 003 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work in it: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. 003 LEV 023 004 These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 003 LEV 023 005 In the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD’S passover. 003 LEV 023 006 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 003 LEV 023 007 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it. 003 LEV 023 008 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it. 003 LEV 023 009 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 010 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest: 003 LEV 023 011 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 003 LEV 023 012 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 013 And its meat offering shall be two tenth parts of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet savour: and its drink offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 003 LEV 023 014 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor new growth, until the same day that ye have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 003 LEV 023 015 And ye shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 003 LEV 023 016 Even to the next day after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 017 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 018 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 019 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 003 LEV 023 020 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 003 LEV 023 021 And ye shall proclaim on the same day, that it may be an holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work in it: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 003 LEV 023 022 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 023 023 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 024 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. 003 LEV 023 025 Ye shall do no servile work in it: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 026 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 027 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation to you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 028 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 003 LEV 023 029 For whatever soul it may be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 003 LEV 023 030 And whatever soul it may be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 003 LEV 023 031 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 003 LEV 023 032 It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. 003 LEV 023 033 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 034 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 035 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it. 003 LEV 023 036 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation to you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work in it. 003 LEV 023 037 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon its day: 003 LEV 023 038 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give to the LORD. 003 LEV 023 039 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. 003 LEV 023 040 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. 003 LEV 023 041 And ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 003 LEV 023 042 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 003 LEV 023 043 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 023 044 And Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. 003 LEV 024 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 024 002 Command the children of Israel, that they bring to thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 003 LEV 024 003 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening to the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. 003 LEV 024 004 Ye shall order the lamps upon the pure lampstand before the LORD continually. 003 LEV 024 005 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts shall be in one cake. 003 LEV 024 006 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. 003 LEV 024 007 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD. 003 LEV 024 008 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 003 LEV 024 009 And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute. 003 LEV 024 010 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 003 LEV 024 011 And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan: ) 003 LEV 024 012 And they put him in custody, that the mind of the LORD might be shown to them. 003 LEV 024 013 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 024 014 Bring forth him that hath cursed outside the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 003 LEV 024 015 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 003 LEV 024 016 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death. 003 LEV 024 017 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. 003 LEV 024 018 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. 003 LEV 024 019 And if a man shall cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; 003 LEV 024 020 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him. 003 LEV 024 021 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. 003 LEV 024 022 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 024 023 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 025 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 003 LEV 025 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD. 003 LEV 025 003 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in its fruit; 003 LEV 025 004 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. 003 LEV 025 005 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy untrimmed vine: for it is a year of rest to the land. 003 LEV 025 006 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy male servant, and for thy female servant, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, 003 LEV 025 007 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase of it be food. 003 LEV 025 008 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years to thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to thee forty and nine years. 003 LEV 025 009 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 003 LEV 025 010 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and ye shall return every man to his possession, and ye shall return every man to his family. 003 LEV 025 011 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy untrimmed vine. 003 LEV 025 012 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field. 003 LEV 025 013 In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man to his possession. 003 LEV 025 014 And if thou shalt sell any to thy neighbour, or buy any thing from thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another: 003 LEV 025 015 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee: 003 LEV 025 016 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell to thee. 003 LEV 025 017 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 025 018 Therefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. 003 LEV 025 019 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety. 003 LEV 025 020 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: 003 LEV 025 021 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 003 LEV 025 022 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store. 003 LEV 025 023 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 003 LEV 025 024 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 003 LEV 025 025 If thy brother shall have become poor, and have sold some of his possession, and if any of his kin shall come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. 003 LEV 025 026 And if the man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; 003 LEV 025 027 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the balance to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession. 003 LEV 025 028 But if he shall not be able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession. 003 LEV 025 029 And if a man shall sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 003 LEV 025 030 And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee. 003 LEV 025 031 But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee. 003 LEV 025 032 However the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 003 LEV 025 033 And if a man shall purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 003 LEV 025 034 But the field of the common land of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 003 LEV 025 035 And if thy brother shall have become poor, and falleth into poverty among you; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he may be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 003 LEV 025 036 Take thou no interest of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 003 LEV 025 037 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy food for increase. 003 LEV 025 038 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 003 LEV 025 039 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave: 003 LEV 025 040 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee to the year of jubilee: 003 LEV 025 041 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return. 003 LEV 025 042 For they are my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves. 003 LEV 025 043 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 003 LEV 025 044 Both thy male and female slaves, which thou shalt have, shall be from the heathen that are around you; from them shall ye buy male and female slaves. 003 LEV 025 045 Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, whom they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 003 LEV 025 046 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. 003 LEV 025 047 And if a sojourner or a stranger shall become rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family: 003 LEV 025 048 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him: 003 LEV 025 049 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself. 003 LEV 025 050 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. 003 LEV 025 051 If there shall be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 003 LEV 025 052 And if there shall remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 003 LEV 025 053 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 003 LEV 025 054 And if he shall not be redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him. 003 LEV 025 055 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 026 001 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 026 002 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 026 003 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 003 LEV 026 004 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 003 LEV 026 005 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 003 LEV 026 006 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 003 LEV 026 007 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 003 LEV 026 008 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 003 LEV 026 009 For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 003 LEV 026 010 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 003 LEV 026 011 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 003 LEV 026 012 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 003 LEV 026 013 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 003 LEV 026 014 But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments; 003 LEV 026 015 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul shall abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 003 LEV 026 016 I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 003 LEV 026 017 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 003 LEV 026 018 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 003 LEV 026 019 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 003 LEV 026 020 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 003 LEV 026 021 And if ye shall walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 003 LEV 026 022 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. 003 LEV 026 023 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me; 003 LEV 026 024 Then will I also walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 003 LEV 026 025 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 003 LEV 026 026 And when I have broke the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. 003 LEV 026 027 And if ye will not for all this hearken to me, but walk contrary to me;

even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths. 003 LEV 026 035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 003 LEV 026 036 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;

003 LEV 026 041 And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: 003 LEV 026 042 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 003 LEV 026 043 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 003 LEV 026 044 And yet for all that, when they shall be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. 003 LEV 026 045 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 026 046 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. 003 LEV 027 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 003 LEV 027 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a difficult vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 003 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 003 LEV 027 004 And if it shall be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 003 LEV 027 005 And if it shall be from five years old even to twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 003 LEV 027 006 And if it shall be from a month old even to five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. 003 LEV 027 007 And if it shall be from sixty years old and above; if a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 003 LEV 027 008 But if he shall be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. 003 LEV 027 009 And if it shall be a beast, of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man giveth of such to the LORD shall be holy. 003 LEV 027 010 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange of it shall be holy. 003 LEV 027 011 And if it shall be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest: 003 LEV 027 012 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be. 003 LEV 027 013 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part of it to thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 014 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 003 LEV 027 015 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be his. 003 LEV 027 016 And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed of it: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 003 LEV 027 017 If he shall sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. 003 LEV 027 018 But if he shall sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 019 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him. 003 LEV 027 020 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he shall have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 003 LEV 027 021 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession of it shall be the priest’s. 003 LEV 027 022 And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; 003 LEV 027 023 Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of thy estimation, even to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thy estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the LORD. 003 LEV 027 024 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belonged. 003 LEV 027 025 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 003 LEV 027 026 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD’S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether ox, or sheep: it is the LORD’S. 003 LEV 027 027 And if it shall be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thy estimation, and shall add to it a fifth part of it: or if it shall be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 028 However no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD. 003 LEV 027 029 None devoted, which shall be devoted by men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. 003 LEV 027 030 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S: it is holy to the LORD. 003 LEV 027 031 And if a man will at all redeem any of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth part of it. 003 LEV 027 032 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD. 003 LEV 027 033 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he shall change it at all, then both it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 003 LEV 027 034 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. # # BOOK 004 NUM Numbers Numbers 004 NUM 001 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 004 NUM 001 002 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;

and let them that hate thee flee before thee. 004 NUM 010 036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel. 004 NUM 011 001 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it;

the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 004 NUM 011 006 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes. 004 NUM 011 007 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour of it as the colour of bdellium. 004 NUM 011 008 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 004 NUM 011 009 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. 004 NUM 011 010 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased. 004 NUM 011 011 And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? 004 NUM 011 012 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the nursing child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers? 004 NUM 011 013 Where should I get flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. 004 NUM 011 014 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 004 NUM 011 015 And if thou dealest thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. 004 NUM 011 016 And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. 004 NUM 011 017 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit who is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou mayest not bear it thyself alone. 004 NUM 011 018 And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. 004 NUM 011 019 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 004 NUM 011 020 But even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you: because ye have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 004 NUM 011 021 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 004 NUM 011 022 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice for them? 004 NUM 011 023 And the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD’S hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not. 004 NUM 011 024 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle. 004 NUM 011 025 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. 004 NUM 011 026 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were recorded, but went not out to the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp. 004 NUM 011 027 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 004 NUM 011 028 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 004 NUM 011 029 And Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? O that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! 004 NUM 011 030 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 004 NUM 011 031 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 004 NUM 011 032 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp. 004 NUM 011 033 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 004 NUM 011 034 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. 004 NUM 011 035 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah to Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth. 004 NUM 012 001 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married: for he had married a Cushite woman. 004 NUM 012 002 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. 004 NUM 012 003 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.) 004 NUM 012 004 And the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. 004 NUM 012 005 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. 004 NUM 012 006 And he said, Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream. 004 NUM 012 007 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my house. 004 NUM 012 008 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 004 NUM 012 009 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. 004 NUM 012 010 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 004 NUM 012 011 And Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned. 004 NUM 012 012 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. 004 NUM 012 013 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. 004 NUM 012 014 And the LORD said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received again. 004 NUM 012 015 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. 004 NUM 012 016 And afterward the people departed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran. 004 NUM 013 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 013 002 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. 004 NUM 013 003 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 013 004 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 004 NUM 013 005 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 004 NUM 013 006 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 004 NUM 013 007 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 004 NUM 013 008 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 004 NUM 013 009 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 004 NUM 013 010 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 004 NUM 013 011 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 004 NUM 013 012 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 004 NUM 013 013 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 004 NUM 013 014 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 004 NUM 013 015 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 004 NUM 013 016 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua. 004 NUM 013 017 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way southward, and go up to the mountain: 004 NUM 013 018 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many; 004 NUM 013 019 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 004 NUM 013 020 And what the land is, whether it is rich or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. 004 NUM 013 021 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 004 NUM 013 022 And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 004 NUM 013 023 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 004 NUM 013 024 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there. 004 NUM 013 025 And they returned from searching the land after forty days. 004 NUM 013 026 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 004 NUM 013 027 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 004 NUM 013 028 Nevertheless the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 004 NUM 013 029 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the banks of the Jordan. 004 NUM 013 030 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 004 NUM 013 031 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 004 NUM 013 032 And they brought an bad report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have passed to search it, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 004 NUM 013 033 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. 004 NUM 014 001 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 004 NUM 014 002 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, O that we had died in the land of Egypt! or if only we had died in this wilderness! 004 NUM 014 003 And why hath the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 004 NUM 014 004 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 004 NUM 014 005 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 014 006 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that searched the land, tore their clothes: 004 NUM 014 007 And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 004 NUM 014 008 If the LORD delighteth in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 004 NUM 014 009 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence hast departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. 004 NUM 014 010 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. 004 NUM 014 011 And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have shown among them? 004 NUM 014 012 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 004 NUM 014 013 And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them; ) 004 NUM 014 014 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 004 NUM 014 015 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 004 NUM 014 016 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. 004 NUM 014 017 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 004 NUM 014 018 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation. 004 NUM 014 019 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. 004 NUM 014 020 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 004 NUM 014 021 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. 004 NUM 014 022 Because all those men who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 004 NUM 014 023 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 004 NUM 014 024 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it. 004 NUM 014 025 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn ye, and pass into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 004 NUM 014 026 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 004 NUM 014 027 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 004 NUM 014 028 Say to them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you: 004 NUM 014 029 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, 004 NUM 014 030 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 004 NUM 014 031 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. 004 NUM 014 032 But as for you, your dead bodies, they shall fall in this wilderness. 004 NUM 014 033 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your harlotries, until your dead bodies shall be wasted in the wilderness. 004 NUM 014 034 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. 004 NUM 014 035 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 004 NUM 014 036 And the men, whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing a slander upon the land, 004 NUM 014 037 Even those men that brought the bad report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 004 NUM 014 038 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 004 NUM 014 039 And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 004 NUM 014 040 And they rose early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. 004 NUM 014 041 And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper. 004 NUM 014 042 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 004 NUM 014 043 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you. 004 NUM 014 044 But they presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 004 NUM 014 045 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and smote them, even to Hormah. 004 NUM 015 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 015 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, 004 NUM 015 003 And will make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock: 004 NUM 015 004 Then shall he that offereth his offering to the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth part of flour mixed with the fourth part of an hin of oil. 004 NUM 015 005 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 004 NUM 015 006 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth parts of flour mixed with the third part of an hin of oil. 004 NUM 015 007 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour to the LORD. 004 NUM 015 008 And when thou preparest a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings to the LORD: 004 NUM 015 009 Then shall he bring with a bull a meat offering of three tenth parts of flour mixed with half an hin of oil. 004 NUM 015 010 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 004 NUM 015 011 Thus shall it be done for one bull, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 004 NUM 015 012 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 004 NUM 015 013 All that are born in the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD. 004 NUM 015 014 And if a stranger shall sojourn with you, or whoever shall be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 004 NUM 015 015 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 004 NUM 015 016 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. 004 NUM 015 017 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 015 018 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land where I bring you, 004 NUM 015 019 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering to the LORD. 004 NUM 015 020 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye offer it. 004 NUM 015 021 Of the first of your dough ye shall give to the LORD an heave offering in your generations. 004 NUM 015 022 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken to Moses, 004 NUM 015 023 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 004 NUM 015 024 Then it shall be, if any thing shall be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour to the LORD, with its meat offering, and its drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 004 NUM 015 025 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance: 004 NUM 015 026 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance. 004 NUM 015 027 And if any soul shall sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a female goat of the first year for a sin offering. 004 NUM 015 028 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 004 NUM 015 029 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 004 NUM 015 030 But the soul that doeth any thing presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 004 NUM 015 031 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him. 004 NUM 015 032 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 004 NUM 015 033 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 004 NUM 015 034 And they put him in custody, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 004 NUM 015 035 And the LORD said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp. 004 NUM 015 036 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 015 037 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 015 038 Speak to the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a cord of blue: 004 NUM 015 039 And it shall be to you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray: 004 NUM 015 040 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. 004 NUM 015 041 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God. 004 NUM 016 001 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 004 NUM 016 002 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: 004 NUM 016 003 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: why then do ye raise yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? 004 NUM 016 004 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: 004 NUM 016 005 And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near to him. 004 NUM 016 006 This do; Take for yourselves censers, Korah, and all his company; 004 NUM 016 007 And put fire in them, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. 004 NUM 016 008 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: 004 NUM 016 009 Seemeth it but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them? 004 NUM 016 010 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? 004 NUM 016 011 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? 004 NUM 016 012 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: who said, We will not come up: 004 NUM 016 013 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? 004 NUM 016 014 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. 004 NUM 016 015 And Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them. 004 NUM 016 016 And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: 004 NUM 016 017 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer. 004 NUM 016 018 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on them, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. 004 NUM 016 019 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation. 004 NUM 016 020 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 004 NUM 016 021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 004 NUM 016 022 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be angry with all the congregation? 004 NUM 016 023 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 016 024 Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw yourselves from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 004 NUM 016 025 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 004 NUM 016 026 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 004 NUM 016 027 So they withdrew from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 004 NUM 016 028 And Moses said, by this ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind. 004 NUM 016 029 If these men shall die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me. 004 NUM 016 030 But if the LORD shall make a new thing, and the earth shall open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. (Sheol h7585) 004 NUM 016 031 And it came to pass, as he had finished speaking all these words, that the ground opened up that was under them: 004 NUM 016 032 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained to Korah, and all their goods. 004 NUM 016 033 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. (Sheol h7585) 004 NUM 016 034 And all Israel that were around them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. 004 NUM 016 035 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. 004 NUM 016 036 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 016 037 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed. 004 NUM 016 038 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel. 004 NUM 016 039 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: 004 NUM 016 040 To be a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he may not be as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses. 004 NUM 016 041 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD. 004 NUM 016 042 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. 004 NUM 016 043 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. 004 NUM 016 044 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 016 045 Remove from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 004 NUM 016 046 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire in it from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun. 004 NUM 016 047 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. 004 NUM 016 048 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 004 NUM 016 049 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah. 004 NUM 016 050 And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed. 004 NUM 017 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 017 002 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod. 004 NUM 017 003 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. 004 NUM 017 004 And thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. 004 NUM 017 005 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, by which they murmur against you. 004 NUM 017 006 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 004 NUM 017 007 And Moses laid the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. 004 NUM 017 008 And it came to pass, that on the next day Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 004 NUM 017 009 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 004 NUM 017 010 And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. 004 NUM 017 011 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he. 004 NUM 017 012 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. 004 NUM 017 013 Whoever approacheth the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying? 004 NUM 018 001 And the LORD said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. 004 NUM 018 002 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness. 004 NUM 018 003 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die. 004 NUM 018 004 And they shall be joined to thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near to you. 004 NUM 018 005 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. 004 NUM 018 006 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 004 NUM 018 007 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office to you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death. 004 NUM 018 008 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of my heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever. 004 NUM 018 009 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. 004 NUM 018 010 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy to thee. 004 NUM 018 011 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. 004 NUM 018 012 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to thee. 004 NUM 018 013 And whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. 004 NUM 018 014 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 004 NUM 018 015 Every thing that openeth the womb in all flesh, which they bring to the LORD, whether of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. 004 NUM 018 016 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thy estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. 004 NUM 018 017 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour to the LORD. 004 NUM 018 018 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 004 NUM 018 019 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, have I given to thee, and to thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD to thee and to thy seed with thee. 004 NUM 018 020 And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thy inheritance among the children of Israel. 004 NUM 018 021 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 004 NUM 018 022 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come near the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. 004 NUM 018 023 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. 004 NUM 018 024 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 004 NUM 018 025 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 018 026 Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe. 004 NUM 018 027 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress. 004 NUM 018 028 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give of them the LORD’S heave offering to Aaron the priest. 004 NUM 018 029 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best of it, even the hallowed part from it. 004 NUM 018 030 Therefore thou shalt say to them, When ye have offered the best of it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress. 004 NUM 018 031 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 004 NUM 018 032 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have offered from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die. 004 NUM 019 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 004 NUM 019 002 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and upon which never came a yoke: 004 NUM 019 003 And ye shall give her to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth outside the camp, and one shall slay her before his face: 004 NUM 019 004 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times: 004 NUM 019 005 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 004 NUM 019 006 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 004 NUM 019 007 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening. 004 NUM 019 008 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening. 004 NUM 019 009 And a man that is clean shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and lay them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. 004 NUM 019 010 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever. 004 NUM 019 011 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 004 NUM 019 012 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he shall not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 004 NUM 019 013 Whoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. 004 NUM 019 014 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 004 NUM 019 015 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. 004 NUM 019 016 And whoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 004 NUM 019 017 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be added to them in a vessel: 004 NUM 019 018 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave: 004 NUM 019 019 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening. 004 NUM 019 020 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. 004 NUM 019 021 And it shall be a perpetual statute to them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening. 004 NUM 019 022 And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until the evening. 004 NUM 020 001 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. 004 NUM 020 002 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 004 NUM 020 003 And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, O that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! 004 NUM 020 004 And why have ye brought the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there? 004 NUM 020 005 And why have ye made us come up from Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. 004 NUM 020 006 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them. 004 NUM 020 007 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 020 008 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth its water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give water to the congregation and their beasts. 004 NUM 020 009 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 004 NUM 020 010 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 004 NUM 020 011 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 004 NUM 020 012 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 004 NUM 020 013 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them. 004 NUM 020 014 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us: 004 NUM 020 015 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians afflicted us, and our fathers: 004 NUM 020 016 And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth from Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: 004 NUM 020 017 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders. 004 NUM 020 018 And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. 004 NUM 020 019 And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet. 004 NUM 020 020 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand. 004 NUM 020 021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: therefore Israel turned away from him. 004 NUM 020 022 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came to mount Hor. 004 NUM 020 023 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying, 004 NUM 020 024 Aaron shall be gathered to his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah. 004 NUM 020 025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor: 004 NUM 020 026 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there. 004 NUM 020 027 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up to mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 004 NUM 020 028 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. 004 NUM 020 029 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. 004 NUM 021 001 And when king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. 004 NUM 021 002 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 004 NUM 021 003 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah. 004 NUM 021 004 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go around the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 004 NUM 021 005 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 004 NUM 021 006 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died. 004 NUM 021 007 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 004 NUM 021 008 And the LORD said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 004 NUM 021 009 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. 004 NUM 021 010 And the children of Israel moved forward, and encamped in Oboth. 004 NUM 021 011 And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising. 004 NUM 021 012 From there they removed, and encamped in the valley of Zared. 004 NUM 021 013 From there they removed, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the borders of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 004 NUM 021 014 Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, 004 NUM 021 015 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab. 004 NUM 021 016 And from there they went to Beer: that is the well of which the LORD spoke to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. 004 NUM 021 017 Then Israel sung this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye to it: 004 NUM 021 018 The princes searched out the well, the nobles of the people dug it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staffs. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah: 004 NUM 021 019 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 004 NUM 021 020 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon. 004 NUM 021 021 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 004 NUM 021 022 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king’s highway, until we have past thy borders. 004 NUM 021 023 And Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 004 NUM 021 024 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. 004 NUM 021 025 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 004 NUM 021 026 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to Arnon. 004 NUM 021 027 Therefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared: 004 NUM 021 028 For there hast a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon. 004 NUM 021 029 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites. 004 NUM 021 030 We have shot at them; Heshbon hast perished even to Dibon, and we have laid them waste even to Nophah, which reacheth to Medeba. 004 NUM 021 031 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 004 NUM 021 032 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its villages, and drove out the Amorites that were there. 004 NUM 021 033 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. 004 NUM 021 034 And the LORD said to Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. 004 NUM 021 035 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left to him alive: and they possessed his land. 004 NUM 022 001 And the children of Israel moved forward, and encamped in the plains of Moab on this side of Jordan by Jericho. 004 NUM 022 002 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 004 NUM 022 003 And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 022 004 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are around us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 004 NUM 022 005 He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there hast a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide opposite to me: 004 NUM 022 006 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse for me this people; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 004 NUM 022 007 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. 004 NUM 022 008 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 004 NUM 022 009 And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? 004 NUM 022 010 And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent to me, saying, 004 NUM 022 011 Behold, there hast a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 004 NUM 022 012 And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. 004 NUM 022 013 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go back to your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 004 NUM 022 014 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us. 004 NUM 022 015 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. 004 NUM 022 016 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming to me: 004 NUM 022 017 For I will promote thee to very great honour, and I will do whatever thou sayest to me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me. 004 NUM 022 018 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 004 NUM 022 019 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more. 004 NUM 022 020 And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call thee, rise, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to thee, that shalt thou perform. 004 NUM 022 021 And Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab. 004 NUM 022 022 And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 004 NUM 022 023 And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the donkey, to turn her into the way. 004 NUM 022 024 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 004 NUM 022 025 And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 004 NUM 022 026 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 004 NUM 022 027 And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the donkey with a staff. 004 NUM 022 028 And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 004 NUM 022 029 And Balaam said to the donkey, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee. 004 NUM 022 030 And the donkey said to Balaam, Am not I thy donkey, upon which thou hast rid ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever accustomed to do so to thee? And he said, Nay. 004 NUM 022 031 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 004 NUM 022 032 And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why hast thou smitten thy donkey these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: 004 NUM 022 033 And the donkey saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. 004 NUM 022 034 And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will return again. 004 NUM 022 035 And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. 004 NUM 022 036 And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost border. 004 NUM 022 037 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why camest thou not to me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour? 004 NUM 022 038 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I have come to thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. 004 NUM 022 039 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjathhuzoth. 004 NUM 022 040 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 004 NUM 022 041 And it came to pass on the next morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, that from there he might see the utmost part of the people. 004 NUM 023 001 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 004 NUM 023 002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram. 004 NUM 023 003 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps the LORD will come to meet me: and whatever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. 004 NUM 023 004 And God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bull and a ram. 004 NUM 023 005 And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 004 NUM 023 006 And he returned to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 004 NUM 023 007 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, defy Israel. 004 NUM 023 008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? 004 NUM 023 009 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. 004 NUM 023 010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! 004 NUM 023 011 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 004 NUM 023 012 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? 004 NUM 023 013 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from which thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and from there curse them for me. 004 NUM 023 014 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on every altar. 004 NUM 023 015 And he said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 004 NUM 023 016 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again to Balak, and say thus. 004 NUM 023 017 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What hath the LORD spoken? 004 NUM 023 018 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise, Balak, and hear; hearken to me, thou son of Zippor: 004 NUM 023 019 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 004 NUM 023 020 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 004 NUM 023 021 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 004 NUM 023 022 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 004 NUM 023 023 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! 004 NUM 023 024 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he shall eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. 004 NUM 023 025 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 004 NUM 023 026 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? 004 NUM 023 027 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will please God that thou mayest from there curse them for me. 004 NUM 023 028 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 004 NUM 023 029 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams. 004 NUM 023 030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on every altar. 004 NUM 024 001 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 004 NUM 024 002 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. 004 NUM 024 003 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 004 NUM 024 004 He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 004 NUM 024 005 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! 004 NUM 024 006 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. 004 NUM 024 007 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 004 NUM 024 008 God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 004 NUM 024 009 He crouched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. 004 NUM 024 010 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times. 004 NUM 024 011 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour. 004 NUM 024 012 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak also to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying, 004 NUM 024 013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak? 004 NUM 024 014 And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. 004 NUM 024 015 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 004 NUM 024 016 He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 004 NUM 024 017 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 004 NUM 024 018 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. 004 NUM 024 019 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. 004 NUM 024 020 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he shall perish for ever. 004 NUM 024 021 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. 004 NUM 024 022 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 004 NUM 024 023 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! 004 NUM 024 024 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. 004 NUM 024 025 And Balaam arose, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way. 004 NUM 025 001 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab. 004 NUM 025 002 And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods: and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. 004 NUM 025 003 And Israel joined himself to Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 004 NUM 025 004 And the LORD said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 004 NUM 025 005 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined to Baalpeor. 004 NUM 025 006 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought to his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 004 NUM 025 007 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 004 NUM 025 008 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly.

then he shall bear her iniquity. 004 NUM 030 016 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house. 004 NUM 031 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 031 002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered to thy people. 004 NUM 031 003 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD on Midian. 004 NUM 031 004 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 004 NUM 031 005 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 004 NUM 031 006 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand. 004 NUM 031 007 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 004 NUM 031 008 And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. 004 NUM 031 009 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 004 NUM 031 010 And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 004 NUM 031 011 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. 004 NUM 031 012 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. 004 NUM 031 013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp. 004 NUM 031 014 And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle. 004 NUM 031 015 And Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive? 004 NUM 031 016 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. 004 NUM 031 017 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 004 NUM 031 018 But all the girls, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 004 NUM 031 019 And do ye abide outside the camp seven days: whoever hath killed any person, and whoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 004 NUM 031 020 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood. 004 NUM 031 021 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses; 004 NUM 031 022 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 004 NUM 031 023 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. 004 NUM 031 024 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp. 004 NUM 031 025 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 031 026 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: 004 NUM 031 027 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: 004 NUM 031 028 And levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the sheep: 004 NUM 031 029 Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD. 004 NUM 031 030 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD. 004 NUM 031 031 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 031 032 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had taken, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, 004 NUM 031 033 And seventy and two thousand cattle, 004 NUM 031 034 And sixty and one thousand donkeys, 004 NUM 031 035 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. 004 NUM 031 036 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep: 004 NUM 031 037 And the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy and five. 004 NUM 031 038 And the cattle were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was seventy and two. 004 NUM 031 039 And the donkeys were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was sixty and one. 004 NUM 031 040 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was thirty and two persons. 004 NUM 031 041 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’S heave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 031 042 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, 004 NUM 031 043 (Now the half that pertained to the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 004 NUM 031 044 And thirty and six thousand cattle, 004 NUM 031 045 And thirty thousand donkeys and five hundred, 004 NUM 031 046 And sixteen thousand persons; ) 004 NUM 031 047 Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 031 048 And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses: 004 NUM 031 049 And they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. 004 NUM 031 050 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath obtained, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. 004 NUM 031 051 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. 004 NUM 031 052 And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 004 NUM 031 053 ( For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) 004 NUM 031 054 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD. 004 NUM 032 001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle; 004 NUM 032 002 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, 004 NUM 032 003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 004 NUM 032 004 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: 004 NUM 032 005 Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan. 004 NUM 032 006 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? 004 NUM 032 007 And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? 004 NUM 032 008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. 004 NUM 032 009 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them. 004 NUM 032 010 And the LORD’S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying, 004 NUM 032 011 Surely none of the men that came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: 004 NUM 032 012 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. 004 NUM 032 013 And the LORD’S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed. 004 NUM 032 014 And, behold, ye have risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. 004 NUM 032 015 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he shall destroy all this people. 004 NUM 032 016 And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: 004 NUM 032 017 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 004 NUM 032 018 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 004 NUM 032 019 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or beyond; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward. 004 NUM 032 020 And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war, 004 NUM 032 021 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him, 004 NUM 032 022 And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 004 NUM 032 023 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. 004 NUM 032 024 Build for yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 004 NUM 032 025 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. 004 NUM 032 026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: 004 NUM 032 027 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith. 004 NUM 032 028 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel: 004 NUM 032 029 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: 004 NUM 032 030 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 004 NUM 032 031 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do. 004 NUM 032 032 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. 004 NUM 032 033 And Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities within the borders, even the cities of the surrounding country. 004 NUM 032 034 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 004 NUM 032 035 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 004 NUM 032 036 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fortified cities: and folds for sheep. 004 NUM 032 037 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 004 NUM 032 038 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built. 004 NUM 032 039 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who was in it. 004 NUM 032 040 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it. 004 NUM 032 041 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havothjair. 004 NUM 032 042 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name. 004 NUM 033 001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth from the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 004 NUM 033 002 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. 004 NUM 033 003 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 004 NUM 033 004 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, whom the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments. 004 NUM 033 005 And the children of Israel departed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth. 004 NUM 033 006 And they departed from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 004 NUM 033 007 And they departed from Etham, and turned again to Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they encamped before Migdol. 004 NUM 033 008 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah. 004 NUM 033 009 And they departed from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there. 004 NUM 033 010 And they departed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. 004 NUM 033 011 And they departed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 004 NUM 033 012 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 004 NUM 033 013 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 004 NUM 033 014 And they departed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 004 NUM 033 015 And they departed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai. 004 NUM 033 016 And they departed from the desert of Sinai, and encamped at Kibrothhattaavah. 004 NUM 033 017 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 004 NUM 033 018 And they departed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah. 004 NUM 033 019 And they departed from Rithmah, and encamped at Rimmonparez. 004 NUM 033 020 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and encamped in Libnah. 004 NUM 033 021 And they departed from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah. 004 NUM 033 022 And they journeyed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah. 004 NUM 033 023 And they went from Kehelathah, and encamped in mount Shapher. 004 NUM 033 024 And they departed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. 004 NUM 033 025 And they departed from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth. 004 NUM 033 026 And they departed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. 004 NUM 033 027 And they departed from Tahath, and encamped at Tarah. 004 NUM 033 028 And they departed from Tarah, and encamped in Mithcah. 004 NUM 033 029 And they went from Mithcah, and encamped in Hashmonah. 004 NUM 033 030 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. 004 NUM 033 031 And they departed from Moseroth, and encamped in Benejaakan. 004 NUM 033 032 And they departed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad. 004 NUM 033 033 And they went from Horhagidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah. 004 NUM 033 034 And they departed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah. 004 NUM 033 035 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber. 004 NUM 033 036 And they departed from Eziongaber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. 004 NUM 033 037 And they departed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. 004 NUM 033 038 And Aaron the priest went up to mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month. 004 NUM 033 039 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor. 004 NUM 033 040 And king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 033 041 And they departed from mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah. 004 NUM 033 042 And they departed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon. 004 NUM 033 043 And they departed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth. 004 NUM 033 044 And they departed from Oboth, and encamped in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab. 004 NUM 033 045 And they departed from Iim, and encamped in Dibongad. 004 NUM 033 046 And they departed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim. 004 NUM 033 047 And they departed from Almondiblathaim, and encamped on the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 004 NUM 033 048 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 004 NUM 033 049 And they encamped by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even to Abelshittim in the plains of Moab. 004 NUM 033 050 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 004 NUM 033 051 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. 004 NUM 033 055 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those whom ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall trouble you in the land in which ye dwell. 004 NUM 033 056 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them. 004 NUM 034 001 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 034 002 Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan;

and ye shall give also to the Levites common lands for the cities around them. 004 NUM 035 003 And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the common lands of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. 004 NUM 035 004 And the common lands of the cities, which ye shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides. 004 NUM 035 005 And ye shall measure from outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the common lands of the cities. 004 NUM 035 006 And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee there: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities. 004 NUM 035 007 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their common lands. 004 NUM 035 008 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth. 004 NUM 035 009 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 004 NUM 035 010 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 004 NUM 035 011 Then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who killeth any person unintentionally. 004 NUM 035 012 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer may not die, until he stand before the congregation in judgment. 004 NUM 035 013 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge. 004 NUM 035 014 Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. 004 NUM 035 015 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unintentionally may flee there. 004 NUM 035 016 And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 017 And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 018 Or if he shall smite him with an hand weapon of wood, by which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 019 The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. 004 NUM 035 020 But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying in wait, that he die; 004 NUM 035 021 Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. 004 NUM 035 022 But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait, 004 NUM 035 023 Or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing him not, and shall cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm: 004 NUM 035 024 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments: 004 NUM 035 025 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. 004 NUM 035 026 But if the slayer shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge, where he had fled; 004 NUM 035 027 And the avenger of blood find him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: 004 NUM 035 028 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession. 004 NUM 035 029 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 004 NUM 035 030 Whoever killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. 004 NUM 035 031 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. 004 NUM 035 032 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. 004 NUM 035 033 So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him that shed it. 004 NUM 035 034 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel. 004 NUM 036 001 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: 004 NUM 036 002 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. 004 NUM 036 003 And if they shall be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 004 NUM 036 004 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 004 NUM 036 005 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 004 NUM 036 006 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. 004 NUM 036 007 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 004 NUM 036 008 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 004 NUM 036 009 Neither shall the inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. 004 NUM 036 010 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 004 NUM 036 011 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons: 004 NUM 036 012 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 004 NUM 036 013 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. # # BOOK 005 DEU Deuteronomy Deuteronomy 005 DEU 001 001 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on the east side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Zuph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 005 DEU 001 002 ( There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.) 005 DEU 001 003 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them; 005 DEU 001 004 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 005 DEU 001 005 On the east side of Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 005 DEU 001 006 The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 005 DEU 001 007 Turn, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and to all the places near to it, in the plain, on the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates. 005 DEU 001 008 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them. 005 DEU 001 009 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 005 DEU 001 010 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 005 DEU 001 011 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) 005 DEU 001 012 How can I alone bear your weight, and your burden, and your strife? 005 DEU 001 013 Take for yourselves wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 005 DEU 001 014 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 005 DEU 001 015 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. 005 DEU 001 016 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 005 DEU 001 017 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it. 005 DEU 001 018 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do. 005 DEU 001 019 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea. 005 DEU 001 020 And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give to us. 005 DEU 001 021 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. 005 DEU 001 022 And ye came near to me each one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land for us, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. 005 DEU 001 023 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: 005 DEU 001 024 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. 005 DEU 001 025 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us. 005 DEU 001 026 However ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God: 005 DEU 001 027 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 005 DEU 001 028 Where can we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there. 005 DEU 001 029 Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 005 DEU 001 030 The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 005 DEU 001 031 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. 005 DEU 001 032 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 005 DEU 001 033 Who went in the way before you, to search out for you a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. 005 DEU 001 034 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying, 005 DEU 001 035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your fathers, 005 DEU 001 036 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath walked upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD. 005 DEU 001 037 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in there. 005 DEU 001 038 But Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in there: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 005 DEU 001 039 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it. 005 DEU 001 040 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 005 DEU 001 041 Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up to the hill. 005 DEU 001 042 And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies. 005 DEU 001 043 So I spoke to you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up to the hill. 005 DEU 001 044 And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even to Hormah. 005 DEU 001 045 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear to you. 005 DEU 001 046 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode there. 005 DEU 002 001 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we went around mount Seir many days. 005 DEU 002 002 And the LORD spoke to me, saying, 005 DEU 002 003 Ye have gone around this mountain long enough: turn northward. 005 DEU 002 004 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the land of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: therefore take ye good heed to yourselves: 005 DEU 002 005 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession. 005 DEU 002 006 Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. 005 DEU 002 007 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. 005 DEU 002 008 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. 005 DEU 002 009 And the LORD said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession. 005 DEU 002 010 The Emims dwelt in it in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; 005 DEU 002 011 Who also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. 005 DEU 002 012 The Horims also dwelt in Seir in times past; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them. 005 DEU 002 013 Now rise, said I, and pass over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 005 DEU 002 014 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we passed the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from among the host, as the LORD swore to them. 005 DEU 002 015 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed. 005 DEU 002 016 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, 005 DEU 002 017 That the LORD spoke to me, saying, 005 DEU 002 018 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the border of Moab, this day: 005 DEU 002 019 And when thou comest near the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession. 005 DEU 002 020 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt there in times past; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; 005 DEU 002 021 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: 005 DEU 002 022 As he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day: 005 DEU 002 023 And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim, even to Azzah, the Caphtorims, who came forth from Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) 005 DEU 002 024 Arise ye, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 005 DEU 002 025 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. 005 DEU 002 026 And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 005 DEU 002 027 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left. 005 DEU 002 028 Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet; 005 DEU 002 029 (As the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us. 005 DEU 002 030 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. 005 DEU 002 031 And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. 005 DEU 002 032 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. 005 DEU 002 033 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 005 DEU 002 034 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: 005 DEU 002 035 Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. 005 DEU 002 036 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us: 005 DEU 002 037 Only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities on the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbad us. 005 DEU 003 001 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 005 DEU 003 002 And the LORD said to me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. 005 DEU 003 003 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. 005 DEU 003 004 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 005 DEU 003 005 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns a great number. 005 DEU 003 006 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. 005 DEU 003 007 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 005 DEU 003 008 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side of Jordan, from the river of Arnon to mount Hermon; 005 DEU 003 009 ( Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir; ) 005 DEU 003 010 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 005 DEU 003 011 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. 005 DEU 003 012 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 005 DEU 003 013 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. 005 DEU 003 014 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob to the borders of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, to this day. 005 DEU 003 015 And I gave Gilead to Machir. 005 DEU 003 016 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 005 DEU 003 017 The plain also, and Jordan, and the border of it, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward. 005 DEU 003 018 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are fit for the war. 005 DEU 003 019 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ( for I know that ye have many cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; 005 DEU 003 020 Until the LORD shall have given rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man to his possession, which I have given you. 005 DEU 003 021 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thy eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to these two kings: so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where thou passest. 005 DEU 003 022 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you. 005 DEU 003 023 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, 005 DEU 003 024 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? 005 DEU 003 025 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 005 DEU 003 026 But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said to me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more to me of this matter. 005 DEU 003 027 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thy eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 005 DEU 003 028 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. 005 DEU 003 029 So we abode in the valley opposite Bethpeor. 005 DEU 004 001 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 005 DEU 004 002 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish any thing from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 005 DEU 004 003 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you. 005 DEU 004 004 But ye who held fast to the LORD your God are alive each one of you this day. 005 DEU 004 005 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land where ye go to possess it. 005 DEU 004 006 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 005 DEU 004 007 For what nation is there so great, which hath God so near to them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 005 DEU 004 008 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? 005 DEU 004 009 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou shouldest forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; 005 DEU 004 010 Especially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Gather the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. 005 DEU 004 011 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. 005 DEU 004 012 And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. 005 DEU 004 013 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. 005 DEU 004 014 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it. 005 DEU 004 015 Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: 005 DEU 004 016 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make to you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 005 DEU 004 017 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 005 DEU 004 018 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 005 DEU 004 019 And lest thou shouldest lift up thy eyes to heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided to all nations under the whole heaven. 005 DEU 004 020 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, even from Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day. 005 DEU 004 021 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not enter that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance: 005 DEU 004 022 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land. 005 DEU 004 023 Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. 005 DEU 004 024 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. 005 DEU 004 025 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 005 DEU 004 026 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed. 005 DEU 004 027 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you. 005 DEU 004 028 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 005 DEU 004 029 But if from there thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 005 DEU 004 030 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice; 005 DEU 004 031 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God; ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore to them. 005 DEU 004 032 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? 005 DEU 004 033 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? 005 DEU 004 034 Or hath God ever tried to go and take for himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 005 DEU 004 035 To thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none besides him. 005 DEU 004 036 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire. 005 DEU 004 037 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out of Egypt; in his sight with his mighty power; 005 DEU 004 038 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. 005 DEU 004 039 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. 005 DEU 004 040 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever. 005 DEU 004 041 Then Moses set apart three cities on the side of Jordan toward the sunrising; 005 DEU 004 042 That the slayer might flee there, who should kill his neighbour unintentionally, and when he had not hated him in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live: 005 DEU 004 043 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites. 005 DEU 004 044 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: 005 DEU 004 045 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after they came forth from Egypt, 005 DEU 004 046 On the east side of Jordan, in the valley opposite Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they had come forth from Egypt: 005 DEU 004 047 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on the side of Jordan toward the sunrising; 005 DEU 004 048 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even to mount Sion, which is Hermon, 005 DEU 004 049 And all the plain on the side of Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah. 005 DEU 005 001 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them. 005 DEU 005 002 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 005 DEU 005 003 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 005 DEU 005 004 The LORD talked with you face to face on the mount from the midst of the fire, 005 DEU 005 005 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up upon the mount; ) saying, 005 DEU 005 006 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 005 DEU 005 007 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 005 DEU 005 008 Thou shalt not make for thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 005 DEU 005 009 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 005 DEU 005 010 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. 005 DEU 005 011 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 005 DEU 005 012 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. 005 DEU 005 013 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 005 DEU 005 014 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy male servant, nor thy female servant, nor thy ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy male servant and thy female servant may rest as well as thou. 005 DEU 005 015 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out from there with a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. 005 DEU 005 016 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 005 017 Thou shalt not kill. 005 DEU 005 018 Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 005 DEU 005 019 Neither shalt thou steal. 005 DEU 005 020 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. 005 DEU 005 021 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s. 005 DEU 005 022 These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mount from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them to me. 005 DEU 005 023 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that ye came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 005 DEU 005 024 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. 005 DEU 005 025 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. 005 DEU 005 026 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 005 DEU 005 027 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it. 005 DEU 005 028 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoke to thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. 005 DEU 005 029 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! 005 DEU 005 030 Go say to them, Return to your tents again. 005 DEU 005 031 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 005 DEU 005 032 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 005 DEU 005 033 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. 005 DEU 006 001 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land where ye go to possess it: 005 DEU 006 002 That thou mayest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 005 DEU 006 003 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. 005 DEU 006 004 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 005 DEU 006 005 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 005 DEU 006 006 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart: 005 DEU 006 007 And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 005 DEU 006 008 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes. 005 DEU 006 009 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. 005 DEU 006 010 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build, 005 DEU 006 011 And houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and dug wells, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; 005 DEU 006 012 Then beware lest thou shouldest forget the LORD, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 005 DEU 006 013 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 005 DEU 006 014 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are around you; 005 DEU 006 015 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. 005 DEU 006 016 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. 005 DEU 006 017 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. 005 DEU 006 018 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to thy fathers, 005 DEU 006 019 To cast out all thy enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken. 005 DEU 006 020 And when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? 005 DEU 006 021 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: 005 DEU 006 022 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and terrible, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: 005 DEU 006 023 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers. 005 DEU 006 024 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 005 DEU 006 025 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us. 005 DEU 007 001 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land where thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 005 DEU 007 002 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them: 005 DEU 007 003 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give to his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take to thy son. 005 DEU 007 004 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 005 DEU 007 005 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 005 DEU 007 006 For thou art an holy people to the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 005 DEU 007 007 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 005 DEU 007 008 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 005 DEU 007 009 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 005 DEU 007 010 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 005 DEU 007 011 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 005 DEU 007 012 Therefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers: 005 DEU 007 013 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy grain, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee. 005 DEU 007 014 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 005 DEU 007 015 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. 005 DEU 007 016 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare to thee. 005 DEU 007 017 If thou shalt say in thy heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? 005 DEU 007 018 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt; 005 DEU 007 019 The great temptations which thy eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do to all the people of whom thou art afraid. 005 DEU 007 020 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, shall be destroyed. 005 DEU 007 021 Thou shalt not be terrified of them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. 005 DEU 007 022 And the LORD thy God will drive out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. 005 DEU 007 023 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them to thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are destroyed. 005 DEU 007 024 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou shalt have destroyed them. 005 DEU 007 025 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it to thee, lest thou shouldest be snared in it: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 007 026 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou shouldest be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. 005 DEU 008 001 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers. 005 DEU 008 002 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to test thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or not. 005 DEU 008 003 And he humbled thee, and allowed thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. 005 DEU 008 004 Thy raiment hath not become old upon thee, neither hath thy foot swelled, these forty years. 005 DEU 008 005 Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 005 DEU 008 006 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 005 DEU 008 007 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 005 DEU 008 008 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil, and honey; 005 DEU 008 009 A land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 005 DEU 008 010 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 005 DEU 008 011 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 005 DEU 008 012 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them; 005 DEU 008 013 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is increased; 005 DEU 008 014 Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 005 DEU 008 015 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 005 DEU 008 016 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might test thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 005 DEU 008 017 And thou shalt say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth. 005 DEU 008 018 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as it is this day. 005 DEU 008 019 And it shall be, if thou shalt at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 005 DEU 008 020 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God. 005 DEU 009 001 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven, 005 DEU 009 002 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard it said, Who can stand before the children of Anak! 005 DEU 009 003 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he who goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said to thee. 005 DEU 009 004 Speak not thou in thy heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. 005 DEU 009 005 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 005 DEU 009 006 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. 005 DEU 009 007 Remember, and forget not, how thou didst provoke the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart from the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD. 005 DEU 009 008 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. 005 DEU 009 009 When I went up to the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread nor drank water: 005 DEU 009 010 And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 005 DEU 009 011 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. 005 DEU 009 012 And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. 005 DEU 009 013 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 005 DEU 009 014 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 005 DEU 009 015 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 005 DEU 009 016 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you. 005 DEU 009 017 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. 005 DEU 009 018 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 005 DEU 009 019 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry with you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened to me at that time also. 005 DEU 009 020 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 005 DEU 009 021 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended from the mount. 005 DEU 009 022 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. 005 DEU 009 023 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 005 DEU 009 024 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you. 005 DEU 009 025 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you. 005 DEU 009 026 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 005 DEU 009 027 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: 005 DEU 009 028 Lest the land from which thou hast brought us should say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. 005 DEU 009 029 Yet they are thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast brought out by thy mighty power and by thy outstretched arm. 005 DEU 010 001 At that time the LORD said to me, Hew thee two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me upon the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 005 DEU 010 002 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 005 DEU 010 003 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up to the mount, having the two tables in my hand. 005 DEU 010 004 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me. 005 DEU 010 005 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me. 005 DEU 010 006 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead. 005 DEU 010 007 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters. 005 DEU 010 008 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. 005 DEU 010 009 Therefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him. 005 DEU 010 010 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened to me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee. 005 DEU 010 011 And the LORD said to me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them. 005 DEU 010 012 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 005 DEU 010 013 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? 005 DEU 010 014 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belongeth to the LORD thy God, the earth also, with all that is in it. 005 DEU 010 015 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. 005 DEU 010 016 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. 005 DEU 010 017 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: 005 DEU 010 018 He executeth the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. 005 DEU 010 019 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 005 DEU 010 020 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. 005 DEU 010 021 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen. 005 DEU 010 022 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. 005 DEU 011 001 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always. 005 DEU 011 002 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm, 005 DEU 011 003 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land; 005 DEU 011 004 And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them to this day; 005 DEU 011 005 And what he did to you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place; 005 DEU 011 006 And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel: 005 DEU 011 007 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did. 005 DEU 011 008 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where ye go to possess it; 005 DEU 011 009 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 005 DEU 011 010 For the land, where thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from which ye came out, where thou didst sow thy seed, and water it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 005 DEU 011 011 But the land, where ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: 005 DEU 011 012 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. 005 DEU 011 013 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 005 DEU 011 014 That I will give you the rain of your land in its due season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy grain, and thy wine, and thy oil. 005 DEU 011 015 And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 005 DEU 011 016 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 005 DEU 011 017 And then the LORD’S wrath shall be kindled against you, and he shall shut up the heaven, that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. 005 DEU 011 018 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 005 DEU 011 019 And ye shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 005 DEU 011 020 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house, and upon thy gates: 005 DEU 011 021 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. 005 DEU 011 022 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave to him; 005 DEU 011 023 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. 005 DEU 011 024 Every place on which the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the uttermost sea shall your border be. 005 DEU 011 025 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said to you. 005 DEU 011 026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 005 DEU 011 027 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 005 DEU 011 028 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. 005 DEU 011 029 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in to the land where thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 005 DEU 011 030 Are they not on the other side of Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? 005 DEU 011 031 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell in it. 005 DEU 011 032 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day. 005 DEU 012 001 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. 005 DEU 012 002 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, in which the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: 005 DEU 012 003 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. 005 DEU 012 004 Ye shall not do so to the LORD your God. 005 DEU 012 005 But the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even his habitation shall ye seek, and there thou shalt come: 005 DEU 012 006 And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: 005 DEU 012 007 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee. 005 DEU 012 008 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes. 005 DEU 012 009 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you. 005 DEU 012 010 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies on every side, so that ye dwell in safety; 005 DEU 012 011 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; there shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow to the LORD: 005 DEU 012 012 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male and female servants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. 005 DEU 012 013 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: 005 DEU 012 014 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee. 005 DEU 012 015 However thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatever thy soul desireth, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart. 005 DEU 012 016 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. 005 DEU 012 017 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thy hand: 005 DEU 012 018 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy male servant, and thy female servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands to. 005 DEU 012 019 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth. 005 DEU 012 020 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatever thy soul desireth. 005 DEU 012 021 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there shall be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatever thy soul desireth. 005 DEU 012 022 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 005 DEU 012 023 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. 005 DEU 012 024 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 005 DEU 012 025 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. 005 DEU 012 026 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go to the place which the LORD shall choose: 005 DEU 012 027 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh. 005 DEU 012 028 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 012 029 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, where thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land; 005 DEU 012 030 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 005 DEU 012 031 Thou shalt not do so to the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. 005 DEU 012 032 Whatever thing I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add to it, nor diminish from it. 005 DEU 013 001 If there shall arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and give thee a sign or a wonder, 005 DEU 013 002 And the sign or the wonder shall come to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 005 DEU 013 003 Thou shalt not hearken to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God testeth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 005 DEU 013 004 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave to him. 005 DEU 013 005 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou remove the evil from the midst of thee. 005 DEU 013 006 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thy own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 005 DEU 013 007 Namely, of the gods of the people who are around you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; 005 DEU 013 008 Thou shalt not consent to him, nor hearken to him; neither shall thy eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 005 DEU 013 009 But thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 005 DEU 013 010 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he shall die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 005 DEU 013 011 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you. 005 DEU 013 012 If thou shalt hear in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, 005 DEU 013 013 Certain men, corrupt men, have gone out from among you, and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known; 005 DEU 013 014 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it is truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; 005 DEU 013 015 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and its cattle, with the edge of the sword. 005 DEU 013 016 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of its street, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil, every bit of it, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shalt not be built again. 005 DEU 013 017 And there shall cleave nothing of the cursed thing to thy hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers; 005 DEU 013 018 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 014 001 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 005 DEU 014 002 For thou art an holy people to the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. 005 DEU 014 003 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 005 DEU 014 004 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 005 DEU 014 005 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 005 DEU 014 006 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. 005 DEU 014 007 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean to you. 005 DEU 014 008 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, is unclean to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase. 005 DEU 014 009 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 005 DEU 014 010 And whatever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean to you. 005 DEU 014 011 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 005 DEU 014 012 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 005 DEU 014 013 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 005 DEU 014 014 And every raven after his kind, 005 DEU 014 015 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 005 DEU 014 016 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 005 DEU 014 017 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 005 DEU 014 018 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 005 DEU 014 019 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten. 005 DEU 014 020 But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 005 DEU 014 021 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it to the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it to an alien: for thou art an holy people to the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother’s milk. 005 DEU 014 022 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 005 DEU 014 023 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. 005 DEU 014 024 And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 005 DEU 014 025 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: 005 DEU 014 026 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy household, 005 DEU 014 027 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 005 DEU 014 028 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thy increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 005 DEU 014 029 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest. 005 DEU 015 001 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. 005 DEU 015 002 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth any thing to his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’S release. 005 DEU 015 003 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release; 005 DEU 015 004 Except when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it: 005 DEU 015 005 Only if thou shalt carefully hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. 005 DEU 015 006 For the LORD thy God shall bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 005 DEU 015 007 If there shall be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD the God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother: 005 DEU 015 008 But thou shalt open thy hand wide to him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he lacketh. 005 DEU 015 009 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye shall be evil against thy poor brother, and thou shalt give him nothing; and he shall cry to the LORD against thee, and it shall be sin to thee. 005 DEU 015 010 Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest to him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thy hand to. 005 DEU 015 011 For the poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 005 DEU 015 012 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, shall be sold to thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 005 DEU 015 013 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him depart empty: 005 DEU 015 014 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give to him. 005 DEU 015 015 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing this day. 005 DEU 015 016 And it shall be, if he shall say to thee, I will not leave thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee; 005 DEU 015 017 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear into the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also to thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. 005 DEU 015 018 It shall not seem hard to thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been of double the worth of a hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest. 005 DEU 015 019 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock. 005 DEU 015 020 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household. 005 DEU 015 021 And if there is any blemish in it, as if it is lame, or blind, or hath any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it to the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 015 022 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart. 005 DEU 015 023 Only thou shalt not eat its blood; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water. 005 DEU 016 001 Observe the month Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth from Egypt by night. 005 DEU 016 002 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there. 005 DEU 016 003 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth from the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth from the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. 005 DEU 016 004 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy land seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou didst sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning. 005 DEU 016 005 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: 005 DEU 016 006 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy departure from Egypt. 005 DEU 016 007 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy tents. 005 DEU 016 008 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt do no work. 005 DEU 016 009 Seven weeks shalt thou number to thee: begin to number the seven weeks from the time when thou beginnest to put the sickle to the grain. 005 DEU 016 010 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give to the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 005 DEU 016 011 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy male, and female servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there. 005 DEU 016 012 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. 005 DEU 016 013 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy grain and thy wine: 005 DEU 016 014 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy male servant, and thy female servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. 005 DEU 016 015 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast to the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thy hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice. 005 DEU 016 016 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: 005 DEU 016 017 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. 005 DEU 016 018 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 005 DEU 016 019 Thou shalt not pervert judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe: for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 005 DEU 016 020 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 016 021 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make for thee. 005 DEU 016 022 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth. 005 DEU 017 001 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the LORD thy God any bull, or sheep, in which is blemish, or any defect: for that is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 017 002 If there shall be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, 005 DEU 017 003 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 005 DEU 017 004 And it shall be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: 005 DEU 017 005 Then shalt thou bring forth to thy gates that man or that woman, who have committed that wicked thing, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. 005 DEU 017 006 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. 005 DEU 017 007 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt remove the evil from among you. 005 DEU 017 008 If there shall arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and go up to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; 005 DEU 017 009 And thou shalt come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment: 005 DEU 017 010 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 005 DEU 017 011 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 005 DEU 017 012 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken to the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt remove the evil from Israel. 005 DEU 017 013 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. 005 DEU 017 014 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in it, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; 005 DEU 017 015 Thou shalt surely set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, who is not thy brother. 005 DEU 017 016 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said to you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. 005 DEU 017 017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart may turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. 005 DEU 017 018 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 005 DEU 017 019 And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: 005 DEU 017 020 That his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel. 005 DEU 018 001 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. 005 DEU 018 002 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said to them. 005 DEU 018 003 And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach. 005 DEU 018 004 The firstfruit also of thy grain, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. 005 DEU 018 005 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. 005 DEU 018 006 And if a Levite shall come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose; 005 DEU 018 007 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD. 005 DEU 018 008 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of their fathers’ estates. 005 DEU 018 009 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 005 DEU 018 010 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 005 DEU 018 011 Or a charmer, or a consulter with mediums, or a wizard, or one who calls up the dead. 005 DEU 018 012 For all that do these things are an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 005 DEU 018 013 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 018 014 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not permitted thee so to do. 005 DEU 018 015 The LORD thy God will raise up to thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like me; to him ye shall hearken; 005 DEU 018 016 According to all that thou didst desire of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die. 005 DEU 018 017 And the LORD said to me, They have well spoken of that which they have spoken. 005 DEU 018 018 I will raise up to them a Prophet from among their brethren, like thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. 005 DEU 018 019 And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 005 DEU 018 020 But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 005 DEU 018 021 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 005 DEU 018 022 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing doth not follow, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. 005 DEU 019 001 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses; 005 DEU 019 002 Thou shalt set apart three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. 005 DEU 019 003 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the bounds of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee there. 005 DEU 019 004 And this is the case of the slayer, who shall flee there, that he may live: Whoever killeth his neighbour unintentionally, whom he hated not in time past; 005 DEU 019 005 As when a man goeth into the forest with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand maketh a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and falleth upon his neighbour, that he dieth; he shall flee to one of these cities, and live: 005 DEU 019 006 Lest the avenger of blood shall pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; though he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. 005 DEU 019 007 Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt set apart three cities for thee. 005 DEU 019 008 And if the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy land, as he hath sworn to thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give to thy fathers; 005 DEU 019 009 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, besides these three: 005 DEU 019 010 That innocent blood may not be shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. 005 DEU 019 011 But if any man shall hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he dieth, and he shall flee into one of these cities: 005 DEU 019 012 Then the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. 005 DEU 019 013 Thy eye shall not pity him, but thou shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may be well with thee. 005 DEU 019 014 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thy inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. 005 DEU 019 015 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. 005 DEU 019 016 If a false witness shall rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; 005 DEU 019 017 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, who shall be in those days; 005 DEU 019 018 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 005 DEU 019 019 Then shall ye do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: so shalt thou remove the evil from among you. 005 DEU 019 020 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. 005 DEU 019 021 And thy eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. 005 DEU 020 001 When thou goest out to battle against thy enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt. 005 DEU 020 002 And it shall be, when ye are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people, 005 DEU 020 003 And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; 005 DEU 020 004 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. 005 DEU 020 005 And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should dedicate it. 005 DEU 020 006 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should eat of it. 005 DEU 020 007 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in battle, and another man should take her. 005 DEU 020 008 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren’s heart should faint as well as his heart. 005 DEU 020 009 And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people. 005 DEU 020 010 When thou comest near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it. 005 DEU 020 011 And it shall be, if it shall make thee answer of peace, and open to thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found in it shall be forced labourers to thee, and they shall serve thee. 005 DEU 020 012 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: 005 DEU 020 013 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male of it with the edge of the sword: 005 DEU 020 014 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, shalt thou take to thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thy enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 005 DEU 020 015 Thus shalt thou do to all the cities which are very distant from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. 005 DEU 020 016 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: 005 DEU 020 017 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: 005 DEU 020 018 That they may not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God. 005 DEU 020 019 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees of it by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life ) to employ them in the siege: 005 DEU 020 020 Only the trees which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it shall be subdued. 005 DEU 021 001 If one shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: 005 DEU 021 002 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him that is slain: 005 DEU 021 003 And it shall be, that the city which is next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been worked, and which hath not pulled the yoke; 005 DEU 021 004 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley: 005 DEU 021 005 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: 005 DEU 021 006 And all the elders of that city, that are next to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: 005 DEU 021 007 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. 005 DEU 021 008 Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them. 005 DEU 021 009 So shalt thou remove the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. 005 DEU 021 010 When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 005 DEU 021 011 And thou seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife; 005 DEU 021 012 Then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; 005 DEU 021 013 And she shall put off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 005 DEU 021 014 And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go where she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. 005 DEU 021 015 If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: 005 DEU 021 016 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not prefer the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: 005 DEU 021 017 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. 005 DEU 021 018 If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not hearken to them: 005 DEU 021 019 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place; 005 DEU 021 020 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 005 DEU 021 021 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. 005 DEU 021 022 And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and thou shalt hang him on a tree: 005 DEU 021 023 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God; ) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 005 DEU 022 001 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and without thy help from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again to thy brother. 005 DEU 022 002 And if thy brother shall not be near to thee, or if thou shalt not know him, then thou shalt bring it to thy own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother shall seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. 005 DEU 022 003 In like manner shalt thou do with his donkey; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not without thy help. 005 DEU 022 004 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s donkey or his ox fall down by the way, and without thy help from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again. 005 DEU 022 005 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 022 006 If a bird’s nest shall chance to be before thee in the way on any tree, or on the ground, whether with young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: 005 DEU 022 007 But thou shalt surely let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. 005 DEU 022 008 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a low wall for thy roof, that thou mayest not bring blood upon thy house, if any man shall fall from there. 005 DEU 022 009 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, should be defiled. 005 DEU 022 010 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and a donkey together. 005 DEU 022 011 Thou shalt not wear a garment woven of woollen and linen together. 005 DEU 022 012 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, with which thou coverest thyself. 005 DEU 022 013 If any man shall take a wife, and go in to her, and hate her, 005 DEU 022 014 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 005 DEU 022 015 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate: 005 DEU 022 016 And the damsel’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hateth her; 005 DEU 022 017 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 005 DEU 022 018 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 005 DEU 022 019 And they shall fine him an hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 005 DEU 022 020 But if this thing shall be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 005 DEU 022 021 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she may die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house: so shalt thou remove evil from among you. 005 DEU 022 022 If a man shall be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou remove evil from Israel. 005 DEU 022 023 If a damsel that is a virgin shall be betrothed to an husband, and a man shall find her in the city, and lie with her; 005 DEU 022 024 Then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they may die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt remove evil from among you. 005 DEU 022 025 But if a man shall find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man shall force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 005 DEU 022 026 But to the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 005 DEU 022 027 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 005 DEU 022 028 If a man shall find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 005 DEU 022 029 Then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. 005 DEU 022 030 A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt. 005 DEU 023 001 He that is wounded, or cut off in his secrets, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. 005 DEU 023 002 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. 005 DEU 023 003 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever: 005 DEU 023 004 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth from Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 005 DEU 023 005 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken to Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. 005 DEU 023 006 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. 005 DEU 023 007 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. 005 DEU 023 008 The children that are begotten by them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation. 005 DEU 023 009 When the host goeth forth against thy enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. 005 DEU 023 010 If there shall be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth to him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: 005 DEU 023 011 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. 005 DEU 023 012 Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, where thou shalt go forth abroad: 005 DEU 023 013 And thou shalt have a shovel among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig with it, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: 005 DEU 023 014 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he may see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. 005 DEU 023 015 Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant who hath escaped from his master to thee: 005 DEU 023 016 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him. 005 DEU 023 017 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 005 DEU 023 018 Thou shalt not bring the hire of an harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination to the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 023 019 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest: 005 DEU 023 020 To a stranger thou mayest lend upon interest; but to thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thy hand to in the land where thou goest to possess it. 005 DEU 023 021 When thou shalt vow a vow to the LORD thy God, thou shalt not defer to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. 005 DEU 023 022 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. 005 DEU 023 023 That which is uttered by thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed to the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. 005 DEU 023 024 When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest satisfy thy appetite with grapes at thy own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. 005 DEU 023 025 When thou comest into the standing grain of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the heads with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle to thy neighbour’s standing grain. 005 DEU 024 001 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it shall come to pass that she findeth no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 005 DEU 024 002 And when she hath departed from his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. 005 DEU 024 003 And if the latter husband shall hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband shall die, who took her to be his wife; 005 DEU 024 004 Her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 005 DEU 024 005 When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken. 005 DEU 024 006 No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone for a pledge: for he taketh a man’s life for a pledge. 005 DEU 024 007 If a man shall be found stealing from any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and shall make merchandise of him, or sell him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt remove evil from among you. 005 DEU 024 008 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. 005 DEU 024 009 Remember what the LORD thy God did to Miriam by the way, after that ye had come forth from Egypt. 005 DEU 024 010 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge. 005 DEU 024 011 Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge outside to thee. 005 DEU 024 012 And if the man is poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 005 DEU 024 013 In any case thou shalt deliver to him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness to thee before the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 024 014 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he is of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 005 DEU 024 015 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he should cry against thee to the LORD, and it be sin to thee. 005 DEU 024 016 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 005 DEU 024 017 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment for a pledge: 005 DEU 024 018 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee from there: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 005 DEU 024 019 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands. 005 DEU 024 020 When thou beatest thy olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 005 DEU 024 021 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 005 DEU 024 022 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 005 DEU 025 001 If there shall be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 005 DEU 025 002 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 005 DEU 025 003 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile to thee. 005 DEU 025 004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the grain. 005 DEU 025 005 If brethren shall dwell together, and one of them shall die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside the family to a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her to him for a wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother to her. 005 DEU 025 006 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name may not be blotted out from Israel. 005 DEU 025 007 And if the man shall not desire to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate to the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up to his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother. 005 DEU 025 008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he shall stand to it, and say, I desire not to take her; 005 DEU 025 009 Then shall his brother’s wife come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done to that man that will not build up his brother’s house. 005 DEU 025 010 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed. 005 DEU 025 011 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband from the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 005 DEU 025 012 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thy eye shall not pity her. 005 DEU 025 013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag differing weights, a great and a small. 005 DEU 025 014 Thou shalt not have in thy house differing measures, a great and a small. 005 DEU 025 015 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 025 016 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 025 017 Remember what Amalek did to thee by the way, when ye had come forth from Egypt; 005 DEU 025 018 How he met thee by the way, and smote those behind thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. 005 DEU 025 019 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thy enemies on all sides, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it. 005 DEU 026 001 And it shall be, when thou hast come in to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwellest in it; 005 DEU 026 002 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there. 005 DEU 026 003 And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD thy God, that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us. 005 DEU 026 004 And the priest shall take the basket from thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 026 005 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down to Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: 005 DEU 026 006 And the Egyptians oppressed us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 005 DEU 026 007 And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: 005 DEU 026 008 And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: 005 DEU 026 009 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. 005 DEU 026 010 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God: 005 DEU 026 011 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you. 005 DEU 026 012 When thou hast finished tithing all the tithes of thy increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 005 DEU 026 013 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them: 005 DEU 026 014 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I taken away any of it for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. 005 DEU 026 015 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst swear to our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 005 DEU 026 016 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to perform these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. 005 DEU 026 017 Thou hast proclaimed the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken to his voice: 005 DEU 026 018 And the LORD hath proclaimed thee this day to be his special people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; 005 DEU 026 019 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people to the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken. 005 DEU 027 001 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. 005 DEU 027 002 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster: 005 DEU 027 003 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou hast passed over, that thou mayest enter in to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 005 DEU 027 004 Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. 005 DEU 027 005 And there shalt thou build an altar to the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 005 DEU 027 006 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer on it burnt offerings to the LORD thy God: 005 DEU 027 007 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 027 008 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 005 DEU 027 009 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 027 010 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. 005 DEU 027 011 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 005 DEU 027 012 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye have come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 005 DEU 027 013 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 005 DEU 027 014 And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 005 DEU 027 015 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 016 Cursed be he that dishonoureth his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 017 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 018 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 019 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 020 Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 021 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 022 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 023 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 024 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 025 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 026 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. 005 DEU 028 001 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 005 DEU 028 002 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 028 003 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 005 DEU 028 004 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep. 005 DEU 028 005 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 005 DEU 028 006 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 005 DEU 028 007 The LORD shall cause thy enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 005 DEU 028 008 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thy hand to; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 028 009 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people to himself, as he hath sworn to thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 005 DEU 028 010 And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 005 DEU 028 011 And the LORD shall make thee to abound in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers to give thee. 005 DEU 028 012 The LORD shall open to thee his good treasure, the heaven to give rain to thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand: and thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 005 DEU 028 013 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken to the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 005 DEU 028 014 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 005 DEU 028 015 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 005 DEU 028 016 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 005 DEU 028 017 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 005 DEU 028 018 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep. 005 DEU 028 019 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 005 DEU 028 020 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thy hand to do, until thou shalt be destroyed, and until thou shalt perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, by which thou hast forsaken me. 005 DEU 028 021 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave to thee, until he shall have consumed thee from off the land, where thou goest to possess it. 005 DEU 028 022 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blighting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou dost perish. 005 DEU 028 023 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 005 DEU 028 024 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou art destroyed. 005 DEU 028 025 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thy enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 005 DEU 028 026 And thy dead body shall be food to all fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, and no man shall frighten them away. 005 DEU 028 027 The LORD will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with tumours, and with the scab, and with the itch, of which thou canst not be healed. 005 DEU 028 028 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: 005 DEU 028 029 And thou shalt grope at noon, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 005 DEU 028 030 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell in it: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes of it. 005 DEU 028 031 Thy ox shall be slain before thy eyes, and thou shalt not eat of it: thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given to thy enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 005 DEU 028 032 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people, and thy eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thy hand. 005 DEU 028 033 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall be eaten by a nation which thou knowest not; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed always: 005 DEU 028 034 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thy eyes which thou shalt see. 005 DEU 028 035 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with severe boils that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the top of thy head. 005 DEU 028 036 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 005 DEU 028 037 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations where the LORD shall lead thee. 005 DEU 028 038 Thou shalt carry much seed into the field, and shalt gather but little; for the locust shall consume it. 005 DEU 028 039 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 005 DEU 028 040 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy land, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thy olive shall cast its fruit. 005 DEU 028 041 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 005 DEU 028 042 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 005 DEU 028 043 The stranger that is within thee shall rise above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 005 DEU 028 044 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 005 DEU 028 045 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou art destroyed; because thou didst hearken not to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 005 DEU 028 046 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 005 DEU 028 047 Because thou didst not serve the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 005 DEU 028 048 Therefore shalt thou serve thy enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee. 005 DEU 028 049 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose language thou shalt not understand; 005 DEU 028 050 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young: 005 DEU 028 051 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou art destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either grain, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy cattle, or flocks of thy sheep, until he hath destroyed thee. 005 DEU 028 052 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou didst trust, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 005 DEU 028 053 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the distress, by which thy enemies shall distress thee: 005 DEU 028 054 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he shall leave: 005 DEU 028 055 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the distress, by which thy enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 005 DEU 028 056 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 005 DEU 028 057 And toward her young one her own offspring, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for lack of all things secretly in the siege and distress, by which thy enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 005 DEU 028 058 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 005 DEU 028 059 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and grievous sicknesses, and of long continuance. 005 DEU 028 060 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, of which thou wast afraid; and they shall cleave to thee. 005 DEU 028 061 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou art destroyed. 005 DEU 028 062 And ye shall be left few in number, though ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 028 063 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou goest to possess it. 005 DEU 028 064 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even to the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 005 DEU 028 065 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 005 DEU 028 066 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have no assurance of thy life: 005 DEU 028 067 In the morning thou shalt say, O that it were evening! and at evening thou shalt say, O that it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thy eyes which thou shalt see. 005 DEU 028 068 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I have said to thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold to your enemies for male and female slaves, and no man shall buy you. 005 DEU 029 001 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 005 DEU 029 002 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land; 005 DEU 029 003 The great temptations which thy eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 005 DEU 029 004 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day. 005 DEU 029 005 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes did not wear out upon you, and thy shoe did not wear out upon thy foot. 005 DEU 029 006 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God. 005 DEU 029 007 And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them: 005 DEU 029 008 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 005 DEU 029 009 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 005 DEU 029 010 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 005 DEU 029 011 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water: 005 DEU 029 012 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: 005 DEU 029 013 That he may establish thee to day for a people to himself, and that he may be to thee a God, as he hath said to thee, and as he hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 005 DEU 029 014 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; 005 DEU 029 015 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: 005 DEU 029 016 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; 005 DEU 029 017 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them: ) 005 DEU 029 018 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; 005 DEU 029 019 And it should come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: 005 DEU 029 020 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. 005 DEU 029 021 And the LORD shall single him out for evil from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law: 005 DEU 029 022 So that the generation to come of your children that shall arise after you, and the stranger that shall come from a distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it; 005 DEU 029 023 And that its whole land is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor doth it bear, nor doth any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 005 DEU 029 024 Even all the nations shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 005 DEU 029 025 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth from the land of Egypt: 005 DEU 029 026 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods which they knew not, and which he had not given to them: 005 DEU 029 027 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: 005 DEU 029 028 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. 005 DEU 029 029 The secret things belong to the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. 005 DEU 030 001 And it shall come to pass, when all these things have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, where the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 005 DEU 030 002 And shalt return to the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; 005 DEU 030 003 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, where the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 005 DEU 030 004 If any of thine shall be driven out to the outmost parts of heaven, from there will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from there will he bring thee: 005 DEU 030 005 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 005 DEU 030 006 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 005 DEU 030 007 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thy enemies, and on them that hate thee, who persecuted thee. 005 DEU 030 008 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 005 DEU 030 009 And the LORD thy God will make thee to abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 005 DEU 030 010 If thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. 005 DEU 030 011 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hid from thee, neither is it far off. 005 DEU 030 012 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it? 005 DEU 030 013 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it? 005 DEU 030 014 But the word is very near to thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 005 DEU 030 015 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 005 DEU 030 016 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land where thou goest to possess it. 005 DEU 030 017 But if thy heart shall turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 005 DEU 030 018 I declare to you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, where thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 005 DEU 030 019 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 005 DEU 030 020 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave to him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 005 DEU 031 001 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. 005 DEU 031 002 And he said to them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 005 DEU 031 003 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said. 005 DEU 031 004 And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed. 005 DEU 031 005 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you. 005 DEU 031 006 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 005 DEU 031 007 And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people to the land which the LORD hath sworn to their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 005 DEU 031 008 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. 005 DEU 031 009 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. 005 DEU 031 010 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 005 DEU 031 011 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 005 DEU 031 012 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: 005 DEU 031 013 And that their children, who have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it. 005 DEU 031 014 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. 005 DEU 031 015 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. 005 DEU 031 016 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the harlot with the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 005 DEU 031 017 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? 005 DEU 031 018 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other gods. 005 DEU 031 019 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. 005 DEU 031 020 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grew fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. 005 DEU 031 021 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore. 005 DEU 031 022 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel. 005 DEU 031 023 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with thee. 005 DEU 031 024 And it came to pass, when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 005 DEU 031 025 That Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 005 DEU 031 026 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 005 DEU 031 027 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death? 005 DEU 031 028 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. 005 DEU 031 029 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. 005 DEU 031 030 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended. 005 DEU 032 001 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 005 DEU 032 002 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 005 DEU 032 003 Because I will proclaim the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness to our God. 005 DEU 032 004 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 005 DEU 032 005 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 005 DEU 032 006 Do ye thus repay the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? 005 DEU 032 007 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 005 DEU 032 008 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 005 DEU 032 009 For the LORD’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 005 DEU 032 010 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 005 DEU 032 011 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 005 DEU 032 012 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 005 DEU 032 013 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 005 DEU 032 014 Butter of cattle, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. 005 DEU 032 015 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: thou hast become fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 005 DEU 032 016 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations they provoked him to anger. 005 DEU 032 017 They sacrificed to demons, not to God; to gods which they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 005 DEU 032 018 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 005 DEU 032 019 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 005 DEU 032 020 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faith. 005 DEU 032 021 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 005 DEU 032 022 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585) 005 DEU 032 023 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them. 005 DEU 032 024 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. 005 DEU 032 025 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 005 DEU 032 026 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 005 DEU 032 027 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. 005 DEU 032 028 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 005 DEU 032 029 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! 005 DEU 032 030 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? 005 DEU 032 031 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. 005 DEU 032 032 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: 005 DEU 032 033 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. 005 DEU 032 034 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? 005 DEU 032 035 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. 005 DEU 032 036 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. 005 DEU 032 037 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 005 DEU 032 038 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. 005 DEU 032 039 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. 005 DEU 032 040 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 005 DEU 032 041 If I shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 005 DEU 032 042 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 005 DEU 032 043 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, and to his people. 005 DEU 032 044 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. 005 DEU 032 045 And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel: 005 DEU 032 046 And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 005 DEU 032 047 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, where ye go over Jordan to possess it. 005 DEU 032 048 And the LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying, 005 DEU 032 049 Go up to this mountain Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession: 005 DEU 032 050 And die in the mount where thou goest, and be gathered to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people: 005 DEU 032 051 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. 005 DEU 032 052 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go there to the land which I give the children of Israel. 005 DEU 033 001 And this is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 005 DEU 033 002 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 005 DEU 033 003 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. 005 DEU 033 004 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. 005 DEU 033 005 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. 005 DEU 033 006 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let his men be few. 005 DEU 033 007 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. 005 DEU 033 008 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst tempt at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; 005 DEU 033 009 Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. 005 DEU 033 010 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thy altar. 005 DEU 033 011 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again. 005 DEU 033 012 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. 005 DEU 033 013 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 005 DEU 033 014 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 005 DEU 033 015 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 005 DEU 033 016 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness of it, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. 005 DEU 033 017 His glory is like the firstborn bull, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 005 DEU 033 018 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents. 005 DEU 033 019 They shall call the people to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. 005 DEU 033 020 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. 005 DEU 033 021 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel. 005 DEU 033 022 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. 005 DEU 033 023 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south. 005 DEU 033 024 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. 005 DEU 033 025 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 005 DEU 033 026 There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. 005 DEU 033 027 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. 005 DEU 033 028 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of grain and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. 005 DEU 033 029 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thy enemies shall be found liars to thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. 005 DEU 034 001 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab upon the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan, 005 DEU 034 002 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the utmost sea, 005 DEU 034 003 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, to Zoar. 005 DEU 034 004 And the LORD said to him, This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thy eyes, but thou shalt not go over there. 005 DEU 034 005 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 005 DEU 034 006 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre to this day. 005 DEU 034 007 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 005 DEU 034 008 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 005 DEU 034 009 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. 005 DEU 034 010 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 005 DEU 034 011 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 005 DEU 034 012 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel. # # BOOK 006 JOS Joshua Joshua 006 JOS 001 001 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, 006 JOS 001 002 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 006 JOS 001 003 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses. 006 JOS 001 004 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the setting of the sun, shall be your land. 006 JOS 001 005 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 006 JOS 001 006 Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them. 006 JOS 001 007 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper wherever thou goest. 006 JOS 001 008 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 006 JOS 001 009 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee wherever thou goest. 006 JOS 001 010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 006 JOS 001 011 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. 006 JOS 001 012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying, 006 JOS 001 013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. 006 JOS 001 014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; 006 JOS 001 015 Until the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’S servant gave you on this side of Jordan toward the sunrising. 006 JOS 001 016 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and wherever thou sendest us, we will go. 006 JOS 001 017 According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 006 JOS 001 018 Every one that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken to thy words in all that thou commandest him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage. 006 JOS 002 001 And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there. 006 JOS 002 002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in here to night of the children of Israel to search out the country. 006 JOS 002 003 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have entered into thy house: for they have come to search out all the country. 006 JOS 002 004 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men to me, but I knew not where they were: 006 JOS 002 005 And it came to pass about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: where the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them. 006 JOS 002 006 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof. 006 JOS 002 007 And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate. 006 JOS 002 008 And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof; 006 JOS 002 009 And she said to the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 006 JOS 002 010 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 006 JOS 002 011 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. 006 JOS 002 012 Now therefore, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token: 006 JOS 002 013 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death. 006 JOS 002 014 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. 006 JOS 002 015 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 006 JOS 002 016 And she said to them, Depart to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward ye may go your way. 006 JOS 002 017 And the men said to her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast made us swear. 006 JOS 002 018 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window by which thou didst let us down: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home to thee. 006 JOS 002 019 And it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. 006 JOS 002 020 And if thou shalt utter this our business, then we will be free of thy oath which thou hast made us to swear. 006 JOS 002 021 And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window. 006 JOS 002 022 And they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. 006 JOS 002 023 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them: 006 JOS 002 024 And they said to Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us. 006 JOS 003 001 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they departed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. 006 JOS 003 002 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host; 006 JOS 003 003 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. 006 JOS 003 004 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way before. 006 JOS 003 005 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you. 006 JOS 003 006 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. 006 JOS 003 007 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. 006 JOS 003 008 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye have come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. 006 JOS 003 009 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God. 006 JOS 003 010 And Joshua said, By this ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 006 JOS 003 011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 006 JOS 003 012 Now therefore take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. 006 JOS 003 013 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in an heap. 006 JOS 003 014 And it came to pass, when the people departed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people; 006 JOS 003 015 And as they that bore the ark had come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest, ) 006 JOS 003 016 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up in an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over opposite Jericho. 006 JOS 003 017 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished crossing the Jordan. 006 JOS 004 001 And it came to pass, when all the people had finished crossing the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying, 006 JOS 004 002 Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, from every tribe a man, 006 JOS 004 003 And command ye them, saying, Take for yourselves from here out of the midst of Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night. 006 JOS 004 004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, of every tribe a man: 006 JOS 004 005 And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel: 006 JOS 004 006 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? 006 JOS 004 007 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel for ever. 006 JOS 004 008 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spoke Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. 006 JOS 004 009 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there to this day. 006 JOS 004 010 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over. 006 JOS 004 011 And it came to pass, when all the people had finished crossing, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people. 006 JOS 004 012 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses directed them: 006 JOS 004 013 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho. 006 JOS 004 014 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life. 006 JOS 004 015 And the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying, 006 JOS 004 016 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan. 006 JOS 004 017 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan. 006 JOS 004 018 And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up upon the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned to their place, and flowed over all its banks, as they did before. 006 JOS 004 019 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. 006 JOS 004 020 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal. 006 JOS 004 021 And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? 006 JOS 004 022 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 006 JOS 004 023 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had gone over: 006 JOS 004 024 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever. 006 JOS 005 001 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel. 006 JOS 005 002 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. 006 JOS 005 003 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 006 JOS 005 004 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. 006 JOS 005 005 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, them they had not circumcised. 006 JOS 005 006 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 006 JOS 005 007 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. 006 JOS 005 008 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were healed. 006 JOS 005 009 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day. 006 JOS 005 010 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho. 006 JOS 005 011 And they ate of the old grain of the land on the next day after the passover, unleavened cakes, and roasted grain in the same day. 006 JOS 005 012 And the manna ceased on the next day after they had eaten of the old grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 006 JOS 005 013 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 006 JOS 005 014 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his servant? 006 JOS 005 015 And the captain of the LORD’S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place on which thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. 006 JOS 006 001 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 006 JOS 006 002 And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valour. 006 JOS 006 003 And ye shall march around the city, all ye men of war, and go round the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 006 JOS 006 004 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. 006 JOS 006 005 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him. 006 JOS 006 006 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 007 And he said to the people, Pass on, and march around the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 008 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them. 006 JOS 006 009 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. 006 JOS 006 010 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed from your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. 006 JOS 006 011 So the ark of the LORD went around the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. 006 JOS 006 012 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 013 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. 006 JOS 006 014 And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. 006 JOS 006 015 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they marched around the city seven times. 006 JOS 006 016 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. 006 JOS 006 017 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are in it, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. 006 JOS 006 018 And ye, in every way keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. 006 JOS 006 019 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 020 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 006 JOS 006 021 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword. 006 JOS 006 022 But Joshua had said to the two men that spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore to her. 006 JOS 006 023 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of Israel. 006 JOS 006 024 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 025 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 006 JOS 006 026 And Joshua charged them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. 006 JOS 006 027 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country. 006 JOS 007 001 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. 006 JOS 007 002 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 006 JOS 007 003 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour there; for they are but few. 006 JOS 007 004 So there went up there from the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. 006 JOS 007 005 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: therefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. 006 JOS 007 006 And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. 006 JOS 007 007 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? O that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of Jordan! 006 JOS 007 008 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 006 JOS 007 009 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall surround us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name? 006 JOS 007 010 And the LORD said to Joshua, Arise; why liest thou thus upon thy face? 006 JOS 007 011 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and deceived also, and they have put it even among their own goods. 006 JOS 007 012 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 006 JOS 007 013 Rise, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. 006 JOS 007 014 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to their families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man. 006 JOS 007 015 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. 006 JOS 007 016 So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 006 JOS 007 017 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: 006 JOS 007 018 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 006 JOS 007 019 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 006 JOS 007 020 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 006 JOS 007 021 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 006 JOS 007 022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. 006 JOS 007 023 And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. 006 JOS 007 024 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to the valley of Achor. 006 JOS 007 025 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. 006 JOS 007 026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day. 006 JOS 008 001 And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land: 006 JOS 008 002 And thou shalt do to Ai and its king as thou didst to Jericho and its king: only its spoil, and its cattle, shall ye take for a prey to yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. 006 JOS 008 003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night. 006 JOS 008 004 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready: 006 JOS 008 005 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach to the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them, 006 JOS 008 006 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them. 006 JOS 008 007 Then ye shall rise from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. 006 JOS 008 008 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you. 006 JOS 008 009 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people. 006 JOS 008 010 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 006 JOS 008 011 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai. 006 JOS 008 012 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city. 006 JOS 008 013 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their ones lying in ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley. 006 JOS 008 014 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city. 006 JOS 008 015 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. 006 JOS 008 016 And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue them: and they pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city. 006 JOS 008 017 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued Israel. 006 JOS 008 018 And the LORD said to Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city. 006 JOS 008 019 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. 006 JOS 008 020 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. 006 JOS 008 021 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai. 006 JOS 008 022 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape. 006 JOS 008 023 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. 006 JOS 008 024 And it came to pass, when Israel had finished slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they chased them, and when they had all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. 006 JOS 008 025 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. 006 JOS 008 026 For Joshua drew not his hand back, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 006 JOS 008 027 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua. 006 JOS 008 028 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation to this day. 006 JOS 008 029 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones, that remaineth to this day. 006 JOS 008 030 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal, 006 JOS 008 031 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up any iron: and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings. 006 JOS 008 032 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. 006 JOS 008 033 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them opposite mount Gerizim, and half of them opposite mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. 006 JOS 008 034 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. 006 JOS 008 035 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them. 006 JOS 009 001 And it came to pass, when all the kings who were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard these things; 006 JOS 009 002 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. 006 JOS 009 003 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai, 006 JOS 009 004 They also worked deceitfully, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine bottles, old, and torn, and bound up; 006 JOS 009 005 And old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. 006 JOS 009 006 And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us. 006 JOS 009 007 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you? 006 JOS 009 008 And they said to Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are ye? and where did you come from? 006 JOS 009 009 And they said to him, From a very far country thy servants have come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, 006 JOS 009 010 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth. 006 JOS 009 011 Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us. 006 JOS 009 012 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy: 006 JOS 009 013 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are torn: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey. 006 JOS 009 014 And the men took of their provisions, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. 006 JOS 009 015 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to them. 006 JOS 009 016 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. 006 JOS 009 017 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim. 006 JOS 009 018 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. 006 JOS 009 019 But all the princes said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them. 006 JOS 009 020 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them. 006 JOS 009 021 And the princes said to them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation; as the princes had promised them. 006 JOS 009 022 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us? 006 JOS 009 023 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being slaves, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. 006 JOS 009 024 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing. 006 JOS 009 025 And now, behold, we are in thy hand: do as it seemeth good and right to thee to do to us. 006 JOS 009 026 And so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. 006 JOS 009 027 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even to this day, in the place which he should choose. 006 JOS 010 001 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; 006 JOS 010 002 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty. 006 JOS 010 003 Therefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, 006 JOS 010 004 Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 006 JOS 010 005 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. 006 JOS 010 006 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not forsake thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. 006 JOS 010 007 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 006 JOS 010 008 And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 006 JOS 010 009 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night. 006 JOS 010 010 And the LORD destroyed them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah. 006 JOS 010 011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the descent to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. 006 JOS 010 012 Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 006 JOS 010 013 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 006 JOS 010 014 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel. 006 JOS 010 015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal. 006 JOS 010 016 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. 006 JOS 010 017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. 006 JOS 010 018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: 006 JOS 010 019 And stay you not, but pursue your enemies, and smite the rear of them; permit them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand. 006 JOS 010 020 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest who remained of them entered into fortified cities. 006 JOS 010 021 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. 006 JOS 010 022 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave. 006 JOS 010 023 And they did so, and brought those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 006 JOS 010 024 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 006 JOS 010 025 And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 006 JOS 010 026 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 006 JOS 010 027 And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day. 006 JOS 010 028 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho. 006 JOS 010 029 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 006 JOS 010 030 And the LORD delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain in it; but did to its king as he did to the king of Jericho. 006 JOS 010 031 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 006 JOS 010 032 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 006 JOS 010 033 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining. 006 JOS 010 034 And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it: 006 JOS 010 035 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish. 006 JOS 010 036 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it: 006 JOS 010 037 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities and all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were in it. 006 JOS 010 038 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it: 006 JOS 010 039 And he took it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king. 006 JOS 010 040 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. 006 JOS 010 041 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon. 006 JOS 010 042 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel. 006 JOS 010 043 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp in Gilgal. 006 JOS 011 001 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king Achshaph, 006 JOS 011 002 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west, 006 JOS 011 003 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh. 006 JOS 011 004 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, many people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots. 006 JOS 011 005 And when all these kings were met together, they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. 006 JOS 011 006 And the LORD said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. 006 JOS 011 007 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them. 006 JOS 011 008 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them to great Zidon, and to Misrephothmaim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left to them none remaining. 006 JOS 011 009 And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. 006 JOS 011 010 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote its king with the sword: for Hazor in times past was the head of all those kingdoms. 006 JOS 011 011 And they smote all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire. 006 JOS 011 012 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded. 006 JOS 011 013 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only; that did Joshua burn. 006 JOS 011 014 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe. 006 JOS 011 015 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses. 006 JOS 011 016 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same; 006 JOS 011 017 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even to Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them. 006 JOS 011 018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. 006 JOS 011 019 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle. 006 JOS 011 020 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. 006 JOS 011 021 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. 006 JOS 011 022 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained. 006 JOS 011 023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war. 006 JOS 012 001 Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side of Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east: 006 JOS 012 002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and half Gilead, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 006 JOS 012 003 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and to the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah: 006 JOS 012 004 And the land of Og king of Bashan, who was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 006 JOS 012 005 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. 006 JOS 012 006 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. 006 JOS 012 007 And these are the kings of the country whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side of Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even to the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions; 006 JOS 012 008 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: 006 JOS 012 009 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; 006 JOS 012 010 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; 006 JOS 012 011 The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; 006 JOS 012 012 The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; 006 JOS 012 013 The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

the king of Hepher, one; 006 JOS 012 018 The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; 006 JOS 012 019 The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; 006 JOS 012 020 The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; 006 JOS 012 021 The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; 006 JOS 012 022 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one; 006 JOS 012 023 The king of Dor in the heights of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one; 006 JOS 012 024 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one. 006 JOS 013 001 Now Joshua was old and advanced in years; and the LORD said to him, Thou art old and advanced in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. 006 JOS 013 002 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri, 006 JOS 013 003 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even to the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites: 006 JOS 013 004 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites: 006 JOS 013 005 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entrance into Hamath. 006 JOS 013 006 And the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 006 JOS 013 007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 006 JOS 013 008 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them; 006 JOS 013 009 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon; 006 JOS 013 010 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said to them. 006 JOS 013 015 And Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families. 006 JOS 013 016 And their land was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba; 006 JOS 013 017 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, 006 JOS 013 018 And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 006 JOS 013 019 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley, 006 JOS 013 020 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth, 006 JOS 013 021 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, who were chiefs of Sihon, dwelling in the country. 006 JOS 013 022 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. 006 JOS 013 023 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and its border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and their villages. 006 JOS 013 024 And Moses gave inheritance to the tribe of Gad, even to the children of Gad according to their families. 006 JOS 013 025 And their land was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah; 006 JOS 013 026 And from Heshbon to Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; 006 JOS 013 027 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and its border, even to the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side of Jordan eastward. 006 JOS 013 028 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages. 006 JOS 013 029 And Moses gave inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families. 006 JOS 013 030 And their land was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities: 006 JOS 013 031 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, went to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families. 006 JOS 013 032 These are the countries which Moses distributed for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho, eastward. 006 JOS 013 033 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said to them. 006 JOS 014 001 And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them. 006 JOS 014 002 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. 006 JOS 014 003 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side of Jordan: but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. 006 JOS 014 004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their common lands for their cattle and for their substance. 006 JOS 014 005 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land. 006 JOS 014 006 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. 006 JOS 014 007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to spy the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. 006 JOS 014 008 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 006 JOS 014 009 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which thy feet have trodden shall be thy inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God. 006 JOS 014 010 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day eighty and five years old. 006 JOS 014 011 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. 006 JOS 014 012 Now therefore give me this mountain, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fortified: if the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said. 006 JOS 014 013 And Joshua blessed him, and gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. 006 JOS 014 014 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite to this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. 006 JOS 014 015 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war. 006 JOS 015 001 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south border. 006 JOS 015 002 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: 006 JOS 015 003 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and turned about to Karkaa: 006 JOS 015 004 From there it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the ends of that border were at the sea: this shall be your south border. 006 JOS 015 005 And the east border was the salt sea, even to the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan: 006 JOS 015 006 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: 006 JOS 015 007 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the borders of it were at Enrogel: 006 JOS 015 008 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward: 006 JOS 015 009 And the border extended from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim: 006 JOS 015 010 And the border turned from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah: 006 JOS 015 011 And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border extended to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the ends of the border were at the sea. 006 JOS 015 012 And the west border was to the great sea, and its coast. This is the border of the children of Judah all around according to their families. 006 JOS 015 013 And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron. 006 JOS 015 014 And Caleb drove from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 006 JOS 015 015 And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher. 006 JOS 015 016 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife. 006 JOS 015 017 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife. 006 JOS 015 018 And it came to pass, as she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou? 006 JOS 015 019 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs. 006 JOS 015 020 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. 006 JOS 015 021 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, 006 JOS 015 022 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 006 JOS 015 023 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, 006 JOS 015 024 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 006 JOS 015 025 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor, 006 JOS 015 026 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, 006 JOS 015 027 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet, 006 JOS 015 028 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah, 006 JOS 015 029 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem, 006 JOS 015 030 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, 006 JOS 015 031 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, 006 JOS 015 032 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages: 006 JOS 015 033 And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, 006 JOS 015 034 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam, 006 JOS 015 035 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, 006 JOS 015 036 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 037 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad, 006 JOS 015 038 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 006 JOS 015 039 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, 006 JOS 015 040 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish, 006 JOS 015 041 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 042 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, 006 JOS 015 043 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, 006 JOS 015 044 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 045 Ekron, with its towns and its villages: 006 JOS 015 046 From Ekron even to the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages: 006 JOS 015 047 Ashdod with its towns and its villages, Gaza with its towns and its villages, to the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and its border: 006 JOS 015 048 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, 006 JOS 015 049 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir, 006 JOS 015 050 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, 006 JOS 015 051 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 052 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, 006 JOS 015 053 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah, 006 JOS 015 054 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 055 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah, 006 JOS 015 056 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, 006 JOS 015 057 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 058 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor, 006 JOS 015 059 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 060 Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities with their villages: 006 JOS 015 061 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah, 006 JOS 015 062 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 063 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day. 006 JOS 016 001 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel, 006 JOS 016 002 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 006 JOS 016 003 And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Bethhoron the lower, and to Gezer: and the ends of it are at the sea. 006 JOS 016 004 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. 006 JOS 016 005 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper; 006 JOS 016 006 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; 006 JOS 016 007 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and came out at Jordan. 006 JOS 016 008 The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the ends of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. 006 JOS 016 009 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 006 JOS 016 010 And they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve at forced labour. 006 JOS 017 001 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; that is, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 006 JOS 017 002 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male offspring of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. 006 JOS 017 003 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 006 JOS 017 004 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. 006 JOS 017 005 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of Jordan; 006 JOS 017 006 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead. 006 JOS 017 007 And the land of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Entappuah. 006 JOS 017 008 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; 006 JOS 017 009 And the border descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the ends of it were at the sea: 006 JOS 017 010 Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. 006 JOS 017 011 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even three countries. 006 JOS 017 012 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 006 JOS 017 013 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour; but did not utterly drive them out. 006 JOS 017 014 And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me until now? 006 JOS 017 015 And Joshua answered them, If thou art a great people, then go up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too small for thee. 006 JOS 017 016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and its towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. 006 JOS 017 017 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only: 006 JOS 017 018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a forest, and thou shalt cut it down: and the borders of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they are strong. 006 JOS 018 001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them. 006 JOS 018 002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. 006 JOS 018 003 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will ye neglect to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? 006 JOS 018 004 Pick out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me. 006 JOS 018 005 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their land on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their land on the north. 006 JOS 018 006 Ye shall therefore describe the land in seven parts, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. 006 JOS 018 007 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. 006 JOS 018 008 And the men arose, and departed: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh. 006 JOS 018 009 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh. 006 JOS 018 010 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions. 006 JOS 018 011 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the land of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. 006 JOS 018 012 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the ends of it were at the wilderness of Bethaven. 006 JOS 018 013 And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the lower Bethhoron. 006 JOS 018 014 And the border extended from there, and went around the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the ends of it were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter. 006 JOS 018 015 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah: 006 JOS 018 016 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel, 006 JOS 018 017 And extended from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben, 006 JOS 018 018 And passed along toward the side opposite Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah: 006 JOS 018 019 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the ends of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south border. 006 JOS 018 020 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its borders all around, according to their families. 006 JOS 018 021 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz, 006 JOS 018 022 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, 006 JOS 018 023 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, 006 JOS 018 024 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: 006 JOS 018 025 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, 006 JOS 018 026 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, 006 JOS 018 027 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, 006 JOS 018 028 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages.

the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 006 JOS 021 045 There failed nothing of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass. 006 JOS 022 001 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 006 JOS 022 002 And said to them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you: 006 JOS 022 003 Ye have not left your brethren these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God. 006 JOS 022 004 And now the LORD your God hath given rest to your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and go to your tents, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of Jordan. 006 JOS 022 005 But take diligent heed to perform the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 006 JOS 022 006 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went to their tents. 006 JOS 022 007 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but to their other half gave Joshua among their brethren on this side of Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also to their tents, then he blessed them, 006 JOS 022 008 And he spoke to them, saying, Return with much riches to your tents, and with very many cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. 006 JOS 022 009 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, of which they had taken possession, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 006 JOS 022 010 And when they came to the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar in appearance. 006 JOS 022 011 And the children of Israel heard it said, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the border of the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, on the side belonging to the children of Israel. 006 JOS 022 012 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them. 006 JOS 022 013 And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, 006 JOS 022 014 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel. 006 JOS 022 015 And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying, 006 JOS 022 016 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have built you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD? 006 JOS 022 017 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD, 006 JOS 022 018 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel. 006 JOS 022 019 However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass ye over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD’S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God. 006 JOS 022 020 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fall on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity. 006 JOS 022 021 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel, 006 JOS 022 022 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it is in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day, ) 006 JOS 022 023 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer on it burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings on it, let the LORD himself require it; 006 JOS 022 024 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children may speak to our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel? 006 JOS 022 025 For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD. 006 JOS 022 026 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 006 JOS 022 027 But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we may do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD. 006 JOS 022 028 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they shall so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you. 006 JOS 022 029 Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle. 006 JOS 022 030 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them. 006 JOS 022 031 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD. 006 JOS 022 032 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, from the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. 006 JOS 022 033 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt. 006 JOS 022 034 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God. 006 JOS 023 001 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old and advanced in years. 006 JOS 023 002 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and advanced in years: 006 JOS 023 003 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you. 006 JOS 023 004 Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward. 006 JOS 023 005 And the LORD your God, he shall drive them out from before you, and drive them from your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised to you. 006 JOS 023 006 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside from it to the right hand or to the left; 006 JOS 023 007 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them: 006 JOS 023 008 But hold fast to the LORD your God, as ye have done to this day. 006 JOS 023 009 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you to this day. 006 JOS 023 010 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. 006 JOS 023 011 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God. 006 JOS 023 012 Else if ye do in any way go back, and follow after the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and associate with them, and they with you: 006 JOS 023 013 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. 006 JOS 023 014 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass to you, and not one thing hath failed of it. 006 JOS 023 015 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he hath destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. 006 JOS 023 016 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given to you. 006 JOS 024 001 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. 006 JOS 024 002 And Joshua said to all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the river of old, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods. 006 JOS 024 003 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac. 006 JOS 024 004 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. 006 JOS 024 005 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. 006 JOS 024 006 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red sea. 006 JOS 024 007 And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. 006 JOS 024 008 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you. 006 JOS 024 009 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 006 JOS 024 010 But I would not hearken to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand. 006 JOS 024 011 And ye went over Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand. 006 JOS 024 012 And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 006 JOS 024 013 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. 006 JOS 024 014 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the river, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. 006 JOS 024 015 And if it seemeth evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. 006 JOS 024 016 And the people answered and said, Be it far from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; 006 JOS 024 017 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the people through whom we passed: 006 JOS 024 018 And the LORD drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God. 006 JOS 024 019 And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 006 JOS 024 020 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. 006 JOS 024 021 And the people said to Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 006 JOS 024 022 And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. 006 JOS 024 023 Now therefore put away, said he, the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD God of Israel. 006 JOS 024 024 And the people said to Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 006 JOS 024 025 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. 006 JOS 024 026 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. 006 JOS 024 027 And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us: it shall be therefore a witness to you, lest ye deny your God. 006 JOS 024 028 So Joshua let the people depart, every man to his inheritance. 006 JOS 024 029 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 006 JOS 024 030 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash. 006 JOS 024 031 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and who had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel. 006 JOS 024 032 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. 006 JOS 024 033 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim. # # BOOK 007 JDG Judges Judges 007 JDG 001 001 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? 007 JDG 001 002 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 007 JDG 001 003 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. 007 JDG 001 004 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men. 007 JDG 001 005 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 007 JDG 001 006 But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 007 JDG 001 007 And Adonibezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: as I have done, so God hath repaid me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 007 JDG 001 008 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. 007 JDG 001 009 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt on the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. 007 JDG 001 010 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. 007 JDG 001 011 And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher: 007 JDG 001 012 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife. 007 JDG 001 013 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife. 007 JDG 001 014 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou? 007 JDG 001 015 And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. 007 JDG 001 016 And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people. 007 JDG 001 017 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah. 007 JDG 001 018 Also Judah took Gaza with its land, and Askelon with its land, and Ekron with its land. 007 JDG 001 019 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. 007 JDG 001 020 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak. 007 JDG 001 021 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. 007 JDG 001 022 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them. 007 JDG 001 023 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.) 007 JDG 001 024 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy. 007 JDG 001 025 And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family. 007 JDG 001 026 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz: which is its name to this day. 007 JDG 001 027 Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 007 JDG 001 028 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to forced labour, and did not utterly drive them out. 007 JDG 001 029 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. 007 JDG 001 030 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became forced labourers. 007 JDG 001 031 Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob: 007 JDG 001 032 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out. 007 JDG 001 033 Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became forced labourers to them. 007 JDG 001 034 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not allow them to come down to the valley: 007 JDG 001 035 But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became forced labourers. 007 JDG 001 036 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. 007 JDG 002 001 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to depart from Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. 007 JDG 002 002 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? 007 JDG 002 003 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you. 007 JDG 002 004 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 007 JDG 002 005 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD. 007 JDG 002 006 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land. 007 JDG 002 007 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel. 007 JDG 002 008 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 007 JDG 002 009 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. 007 JDG 002 010 And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. 007 JDG 002 011 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: 007 JDG 002 012 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were around them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger. 007 JDG 002 013 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 007 JDG 002 014 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 007 JDG 002 015 Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed. 007 JDG 002 016 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. 007 JDG 002 017 And yet they would not hearken to their judges, but they played the harlot with other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so. 007 JDG 002 018 And when the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for the LORD repented because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and burdened them. 007 JDG 002 019 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 007 JDG 002 020 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to my voice; 007 JDG 002 021 I also will not henceforth drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died: 007 JDG 002 022 That through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not. 007 JDG 002 023 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out speedily; neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua. 007 JDG 003 001 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan; 007 JDG 003 002 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it; 007 JDG 003 003 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon to the entrance of Hamath. 007 JDG 003 004 And they were to test Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. 007 JDG 003 005 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: 007 JDG 003 006 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 007 JDG 003 007 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves. 007 JDG 003 008 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years. 007 JDG 003 009 And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. 007 JDG 003 010 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim. 007 JDG 003 011 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died. 007 JDG 003 012 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD. 007 JDG 003 013 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. 007 JDG 003 014 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 007 JDG 003 015 But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab. 007 JDG 003 016 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh. 007 JDG 003 017 And he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man. 007 JDG 003 018 And when he had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bore the tribute. 007 JDG 003 019 But he himself turned back at the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. 007 JDG 003 020 And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from his seat. 007 JDG 003 021 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: 007 JDG 003 022 And the handle also entered after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. 007 JDG 003 023 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. 007 JDG 003 024 When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber. 007 JDG 003 025 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord lay dead on the earth. 007 JDG 003 026 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath. 007 JDG 003 027 And it came to pass, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them. 007 JDG 003 028 And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and permitted not a man to pass over. 007 JDG 003 029 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all stout, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man. 007 JDG 003 030 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years. 007 JDG 003 031 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel. 007 JDG 004 001 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead. 007 JDG 004 002 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles. 007 JDG 004 003 And the children of Israel cried to the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. 007 JDG 004 004 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 007 JDG 004 005 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. 007 JDG 004 006 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 007 JDG 004 007 And I will draw to thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand. 007 JDG 004 008 And Barak said to her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. 007 JDG 004 009 And she said, I will surely go with thee: however the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. 007 JDG 004 010 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. 007 JDG 004 011 Now Heber the Kenite, who was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh. 007 JDG 004 012 And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor. 007 JDG 004 013 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon. 007 JDG 004 014 And Deborah said to Barak, Arise; for this is the day when the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. 007 JDG 004 015 And the LORD destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera came down from his chariot, and fled away on his feet. 007 JDG 004 016 But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left. 007 JDG 004 017 However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. 007 JDG 004 018 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. 007 JDG 004 019 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him. 007 JDG 004 020 Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No. 007 JDG 004 021 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. 007 JDG 004 022 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. 007 JDG 004 023 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. 007 JDG 004 024 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan. 007 JDG 005 001 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, 007 JDG 005 002 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 007 JDG 005 003 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel. 007 JDG 005 004 LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water. 007 JDG 005 005 The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel. 007 JDG 005 006 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways. 007 JDG 005 007 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. 007 JDG 005 008 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel? 007 JDG 005 009 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD. 007 JDG 005 010 Speak, ye that ride on white donkeys, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way. 007 JDG 005 011 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. 007 JDG 005 012 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam. 007 JDG 005 013 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty. 007 JDG 005 014 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer. 007 JDG 005 015 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart. 007 JDG 005 016 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 007 JDG 005 017 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his inlets. 007 JDG 005 018 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives to death in the high places of the field. 007 JDG 005 019 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. 007 JDG 005 020 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 007 JDG 005 021 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength. 007 JDG 005 022 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones. 007 JDG 005 023 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty. 007 JDG 005 024 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent. 007 JDG 005 025 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 007 JDG 005 026 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and struck through his temples. 007 JDG 005 027 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead. 007 JDG 005 028 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots? 007 JDG 005 029 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, 007 JDG 005 030 Have they not found? have they not divided the spoil; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of needlework, of dyed garments of needlework on both sides, for the necks of them that take the spoil? 007 JDG 005 031 So let all thy enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years. 007 JDG 006 001 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 007 JDG 006 002 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. 007 JDG 006 003 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; 007 JDG 006 004 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou comest to Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor donkey. 007 JDG 006 005 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 007 JDG 006 006 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD. 007 JDG 006 007 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried to the LORD because of the Midianites, 007 JDG 006 008 That the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth from the house of bondage; 007 JDG 006 009 And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land; 007 JDG 006 010 And I said to you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. 007 JDG 006 011 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 007 JDG 006 012 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 007 JDG 006 013 And Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if the LORD is with us, why then hath all this befallen us? and where are all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. 007 JDG 006 014 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? 007 JDG 006 015 And he said to him, O my Lord, how shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. 007 JDG 006 016 And the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. 007 JDG 006 017 And he said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me. 007 JDG 006 018 Depart not from here, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou comest again. 007 JDG 006 019 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it. 007 JDG 006 020 And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. 007 JDG 006 021 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed from his sight. 007 JDG 006 022 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. 007 JDG 006 023 And the LORD said to him, Peace be to thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 007 JDG 006 024 Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: to this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 007 JDG 006 025 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take thy father’s young bull, even the second bull of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it: 007 JDG 006 026 And build an altar to the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down. 007 JDG 006 027 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said to him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. 007 JDG 006 028 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered upon the altar that was built. 007 JDG 006 029 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 007 JDG 006 030 Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. 007 JDG 006 031 And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death by morning: if he is a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar. 007 JDG 006 032 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. 007 JDG 006 033 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel. 007 JDG 006 034 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was called after him. 007 JDG 006 035 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was called after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. 007 JDG 006 036 And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said, 007 JDG 006 037 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the floor; and if the dew shall be on the fleece only, and it shall be dry upon all the earth besides, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said. 007 JDG 006 038 And it was so: for he rose early on the next morning, and pressed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 007 JDG 006 039 And Gideon said to God, Let not thy anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make a test, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. 007 JDG 006 040 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. 007 JDG 007 001 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose early, and encamped beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. 007 JDG 007 002 And the LORD said to Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand hath saved me. 007 JDG 007 003 Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. 007 JDG 007 004 And the LORD said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomever I say to thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 007 JDG 007 005 So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 007 JDG 007 006 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 007 JDG 007 007 And the LORD said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand: and let all the other people go every man to his place. 007 JDG 007 008 So the people took provisions in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley. 007 JDG 007 009 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the host; for I have delivered it into thy hand. 007 JDG 007 010 But if thou fearest to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: 007 JDG 007 011 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the host. 007 JDG 007 012 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. 007 JDG 007 013 And when Gideon had come, behold, there was a man that told a dream to his friend, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread rolled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay flat. 007 JDG 007 014 And his friend answered and said, This is nothing else except the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 007 JDG 007 015 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshipped, and returned to the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 007 JDG 007 016 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 007 JDG 007 017 And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 007 JDG 007 018 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 007 JDG 007 019 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hands. 007 JDG 007 020 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow with: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 007 JDG 007 021 And they stood every man in his place around the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 007 JDG 007 022 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his companion, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, to Tabbath. 007 JDG 007 023 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites. 007 JDG 007 024 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters to Bethbarah and Jordan. 007 JDG 007 025 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan. 007 JDG 008 001 And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why hast thou done this to us, that thou didst call us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did contend with him sharply. 007 JDG 008 002 And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? 007 JDG 008 003 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger toward him abated. 007 JDG 008 004 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. 007 JDG 008 005 And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. 007 JDG 008 006 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy army? 007 JDG 008 007 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers. 007 JDG 008 008 And he went up from there to Penuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him. 007 JDG 008 009 And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower. 007 JDG 008 010 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword. 007 JDG 008 011 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure. 007 JDG 008 012 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and overcame all the host. 007 JDG 008 013 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun had risen, 007 JDG 008 014 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, even seventy and seven men. 007 JDG 008 015 And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary? 007 JDG 008 016 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth. 007 JDG 008 017 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city. 007 JDG 008 018 Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king. 007 JDG 008 019 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you. 007 JDG 008 020 And he said to Jether his firstborn, Arise, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth. 007 JDG 008 021 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels’ necks. 007 JDG 008 022 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian. 007 JDG 008 023 And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you. 007 JDG 008 024 And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings of his spoil. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.) 007 JDG 008 025 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the earrings of his spoil. 007 JDG 008 026 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks. 007 JDG 008 027 And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went there playing the harlot with it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house. 007 JDG 008 028 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they raised their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon. 007 JDG 008 029 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. 007 JDG 008 030 And Gideon had seventy sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives. 007 JDG 008 031 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech. 007 JDG 008 032 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 007 JDG 008 033 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went playing the harlot with Baalim, and made Baalberith their god. 007 JDG 008 034 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side: 007 JDG 008 035 Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel. 007 JDG 009 001 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother’s brethren, and talked with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying, 007 JDG 009 002 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are seventy persons, should reign over you, or that one should reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh. 007 JDG 009 003 And his mother’s brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother. 007 JDG 009 004 And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, with which Abimelech hired worthless and light persons, who followed him. 007 JDG 009 005 And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, upon one stone: however Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself. 007 JDG 009 006 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem. 007 JDG 009 007 And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken to you. 007 JDG 009 008 The trees went forth once to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 007 JDG 009 009 But the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 007 JDG 009 010 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. 007 JDG 009 011 But the fig tree said to them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? 007 JDG 009 012 Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. 007 JDG 009 013 And the vine said to them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 007 JDG 009 014 Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us. 007 JDG 009 015 And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon. 007 JDG 009 016 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands; 007 JDG 009 017 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you from the hand of Midian: 007 JDG 009 018 And ye have risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother; ) 007 JDG 009 019 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you: 007 JDG 009 020 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. 007 JDG 009 021 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother. 007 JDG 009 022 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel, 007 JDG 009 023 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: 007 JDG 009 024 That the cruelty done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of his brethren. 007 JDG 009 025 And the men of Shechem set an ambush for him on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech. 007 JDG 009 026 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him. 007 JDG 009 027 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech. 007 JDG 009 028 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him? 007 JDG 009 029 And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thy army, and come out. 007 JDG 009 030 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 007 JDG 009 031 And he sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee. 007 JDG 009 032 Now therefore rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field: 007 JDG 009 033 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun hath risen, thou shalt rise early, and rush upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion. 007 JDG 009 034 And Abimelech rose, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 007 JDG 009 035 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait. 007 JDG 009 036 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men. 007 JDG 009 037 And Gaal spoke again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim. 007 JDG 009 038 Then said Zebul to him, Where is now thy mouth, with which thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? are not these the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them. 007 JDG 009 039 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. 007 JDG 009 040 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even to the entrance of the gate. 007 JDG 009 041 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem. 007 JDG 009 042 And it came to pass on the next day, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. 007 JDG 009 043 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people had come out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them. 007 JDG 009 044 And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them. 007 JDG 009 045 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that were in it, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. 007 JDG 009 046 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into a strong hold of the house of the god Berith. 007 JDG 009 047 And it was told to Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 007 JDG 009 048 And Abimelech went up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said to the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done. 007 JDG 009 049 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the strong hold, and set the strong hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. 007 JDG 009 050 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it. 007 JDG 009 051 But there was a strong tower within the city, and to there fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it after them, and went up to the top of the tower. 007 JDG 009 052 And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 007 JDG 009 053 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and broke his skull. 007 JDG 009 054 Then he called hastily to the young man his armourbearer, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 007 JDG 009 055 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place. 007 JDG 009 056 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in slaying his seventy brethren: 007 JDG 009 057 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal. 007 JDG 010 001 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim. 007 JDG 010 002 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir. 007 JDG 010 003 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years. 007 JDG 010 004 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty young donkeys, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 007 JDG 010 005 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. 007 JDG 010 006 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him. 007 JDG 010 007 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 010 008 And that year they afflicted and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side of Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 007 JDG 010 009 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was greatly distressed. 007 JDG 010 010 And the children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. 007 JDG 010 011 And the LORD said to the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? 007 JDG 010 012 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. 007 JDG 010 013 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: therefore I will deliver you no more. 007 JDG 010 014 Go and cry to the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. 007 JDG 010 015 And the children of Israel said to the LORD, We have sinned: do thou to us whatever seemeth good to thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. 007 JDG 010 016 And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. 007 JDG 010 017 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. 007 JDG 010 018 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 007 JDG 011 001 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah. 007 JDG 011 002 And Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of a another woman. 007 JDG 011 003 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered worthless men to Jephthah, and they went out with him. 007 JDG 011 004 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel. 007 JDG 011 005 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob: 007 JDG 011 006 And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 007 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress? 007 JDG 011 008 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 007 JDG 011 009 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head? 007 JDG 011 010 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be a witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words. 007 JDG 011 011 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh. 007 JDG 011 012 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land? 007 JDG 011 013 And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably. 007 JDG 011 014 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon: 007 JDG 011 015 And said to him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon: 007 JDG 011 016 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red sea, and came to Kadesh; 007 JDG 011 017 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken to it. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh. 007 JDG 011 018 Then they went along through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab. 007 JDG 011 019 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place. 007 JDG 011 020 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his land: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 007 JDG 011 021 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. 007 JDG 011 022 And they possessed all the land of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan. 007 JDG 011 023 So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it? 007 JDG 011 024 Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess. 007 JDG 011 025 And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, 007 JDG 011 026 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that are along by the banks of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time? 007 JDG 011 027 Therefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 028 But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him. 007 JDG 011 029 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 030 And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands, 007 JDG 011 031 Then it shall be, that whatever cometh out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’S, and I will offer it for a burnt offering. 007 JDG 011 032 So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands. 007 JDG 011 033 And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou comest to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. 007 JDG 011 034 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter. 007 JDG 011 035 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot go back. 007 JDG 011 036 And she said to him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thy enemies, even of the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 037 And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions. 007 JDG 011 038 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains. 007 JDG 011 039 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel, 007 JDG 011 040 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year. 007 JDG 012 001 And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire. 007 JDG 012 002 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands. 007 JDG 012 003 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against me? 007 JDG 012 004 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites. 007 JDG 012 005 And the Gileadites took the fords of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; 007 JDG 012 006 Then said they to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand. 007 JDG 012 007 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead. 007 JDG 012 008 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 007 JDG 012 009 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years. 007 JDG 012 010 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem. 007 JDG 012 011 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. 007 JDG 012 012 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun. 007 JDG 012 013 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel. 007 JDG 012 014 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy young donkeys: and he judged Israel eight years. 007 JDG 012 015 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites. 007 JDG 013 001 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. 007 JDG 013 002 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bore not. 007 JDG 013 003 And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. 007 JDG 013 004 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: 007 JDG 013 005 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines. 007 JDG 013 006 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not where he was from, neither did he tell me his name: 007 JDG 013 007 But he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. 007 JDG 013 008 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born. 007 JDG 013 009 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. 007 JDG 013 010 And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man hath appeared to me, that came to me the other day. 007 JDG 013 011 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, I am. 007 JDG 013 012 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do to him? 007 JDG 013 013 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware. 007 JDG 013 014 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe. 007 JDG 013 015 And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee. 007 JDG 013 016 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy food: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it to the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD. 007 JDG 013 017 And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour? 007 JDG 013 018 And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is wonderful? 007 JDG 013 019 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock to the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. 007 JDG 013 020 For it came to pass, when the flame ascended toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground. 007 JDG 013 021 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. 007 JDG 013 022 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. 007 JDG 013 023 But his wife said to him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these. 007 JDG 013 024 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. 007 JDG 013 025 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. 007 JDG 014 001 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. 007 JDG 014 002 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me for a wife. 007 JDG 014 003 Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there not a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. 007 JDG 014 004 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. 007 JDG 014 005 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 007 JDG 014 006 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done. 007 JDG 014 007 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well. 007 JDG 014 008 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. 007 JDG 014 009 And he took of it in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they ate: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. 007 JDG 014 010 So his father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. 007 JDG 014 011 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him. 007 JDG 014 012 And Samson said to them, I will now tell a riddle to you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments: 007 JDG 014 013 But if ye cannot declare it to me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said to him, Tell thy riddle, that we may hear it. 007 JDG 014 014 And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle. 007 JDG 014 015 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take what we possess? is it not so? 007 JDG 014 016 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast told a riddle to the children of my people, and hast not told it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it to my father nor to my mother, and shall I tell it to thee? 007 JDG 014 017 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him so hard: and she told the riddle to the children of her people. 007 JDG 014 018 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. 007 JDG 014 019 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments to them who expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house. 007 JDG 014 020 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. 007 JDG 015 001 But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not allow him to go in. 007 JDG 015 002 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. 007 JDG 015 003 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them harm. 007 JDG 015 004 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between two tails. 007 JDG 015 005 And when he had lighted the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing grain, with the vineyards and olives. 007 JDG 015 006 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire. 007 JDG 015 007 And Samson said to them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. 007 JDG 015 008 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam. 007 JDG 015 009 Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. 007 JDG 015 010 And the men of Judah said, Why have ye come up against us? And they answered, We have come to bind Samson, to do to him as he hath done to us. 007 JDG 015 011 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them. 007 JDG 015 012 And they said to him, We have come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. 007 JDG 015 013 And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee securely, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock. 007 JDG 015 014 And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. 007 JDG 015 015 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men with it. 007 JDG 015 016 And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men. 007 JDG 015 017 And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. 007 JDG 015 018 And he was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die by thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? 007 JDG 015 019 But God opened an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore he called the name of it Enhakkore, which is in Lehi to this day. 007 JDG 015 020 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. 007 JDG 016 001 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in to her. 007 JDG 016 002 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come here. And they surrounded him, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. 007 JDG 016 003 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron. 007 JDG 016 004 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 007 JDG 016 005 And the lords of the Philistines came to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see where his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. 007 JDG 016 006 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, where thy great strength lieth, and how thou mayest be bound to afflict thee. 007 JDG 016 007 And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven new cords that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. 007 JDG 016 008 Then the lords of the Philistines brought to her seven new cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 007 JDG 016 009 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the cords, as a string of a wick is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. 007 JDG 016 010 And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, how thou mayest be bound. 007 JDG 016 011 And he said to her, If they bind me securely with new ropes that never were used, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. 007 JDG 016 012 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And there were those lying in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread. 007 JDG 016 013 And Delilah said to Samson, Until now thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me how thou mayest be bound. And he said to her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web. 007 JDG 016 014 And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke from his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web. 007 JDG 016 015 And she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me where thy great strength lieth. 007 JDG 016 016 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed to death; 007 JDG 016 017 That he told her all his heart, and said to her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I have been a Nazarite to God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. 007 JDG 016 018 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought money in their hand. 007 JDG 016 019 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. 007 JDG 016 020 And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knew not that the LORD had departed from him. 007 JDG 016 021 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. 007 JDG 016 022 However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved. 007 JDG 016 023 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. 007 JDG 016 024 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, who slew many of us. 007 JDG 016 025 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars. 007 JDG 016 026 And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Permit me to feel the pillars upon which the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 007 JDG 016 027 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport. 007 JDG 016 028 And Samson called to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 007 JDG 016 029 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it rested, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. 007 JDG 016 030 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. 007 JDG 016 031 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years. 007 JDG 017 001 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 007 JDG 017 002 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst curse, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son. 007 JDG 017 003 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to thee. 007 JDG 017 004 Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the silversmith, who made of it a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah. 007 JDG 017 005 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. 007 JDG 017 006 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. 007 JDG 017 007 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 007 JDG 017 008 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed. 007 JDG 017 009 And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place. 007 JDG 017 010 And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy sustenance. So the Levite went in. 007 JDG 017 011 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons. 007 JDG 017 012 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 007 JDG 017 013 Then said Micah, Now I know that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite for my priest. 007 JDG 018 001 In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought for themselves an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day all their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel. 007 JDG 018 002 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their land, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there. 007 JDG 018 003 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in there, and said to him, Who brought thee here? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here? 007 JDG 018 004 And he said to them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest. 007 JDG 018 005 And they said to him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous. 007 JDG 018 006 And the priest said to them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way in which ye go. 007 JDG 018 007 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were in it, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man. 007 JDG 018 008 And they came to their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said to them, What say ye? 007 JDG 018 009 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land. 007 JDG 018 010 When ye go, ye shall come to a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is on the earth. 007 JDG 018 011 And there went from there of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war. 007 JDG 018 012 And they went up, and encamped in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: therefore they called that place Mahanehdan to this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim. 007 JDG 018 013 And they passed from there to mount Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah. 007 JDG 018 014 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said to their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do. 007 JDG 018 015 And they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even to the house of Micah, and greeted him. 007 JDG 018 016 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate. 007 JDG 018 017 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war. 007 JDG 018 018 And these went into Micah’s house, and brought the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest to them, What do ye? 007 JDG 018 019 And they said to him, Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest to the house of one man, or that thou shouldest be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel? 007 JDG 018 020 And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people. 007 JDG 018 021 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the possessions before them. 007 JDG 018 022 And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah’s house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. 007 JDG 018 023 And they cried to the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said to Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company? 007 JDG 018 024 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye have gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say to me, What aileth thee? 007 JDG 018 025 And the children of Dan said to him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows rush upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household. 007 JDG 018 026 And the children of Dan departed: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house. 007 JDG 018 027 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came to Laish, to a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire. 007 JDG 018 028 And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt in it. 007 JDG 018 029 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel: but the name of the city was Laish at the first. 007 JDG 018 030 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. 007 JDG 018 031 And they set up for themselves Micah’s graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. 007 JDG 019 001 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite dwelling on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah. 007 JDG 019 002 And his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months. 007 JDG 019 003 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 007 JDG 019 004 And his father in law, the damsel’s father, detained him; and he abode with him three days: so they ate and drank, and lodged there. 007 JDG 019 005 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he arose to depart: and the damsel’s father said to his son in law, Strengthen thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward depart. 007 JDG 019 006 And they sat down, and ate and drank both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said to the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry. 007 JDG 019 007 And when the man rose to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again. 007 JDG 019 008 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel’s father said, Strengthen thy heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they ate both of them. 007 JDG 019 009 And when the man arose to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father, said to him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day is coming to an end, lodge here, that thy heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home. 007 JDG 019 010 But the man would not tarry that night, but he arose and departed, and came opposite Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two donkeys saddled, his concubine also was with him. 007 JDG 019 011 And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in to this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. 007 JDG 019 012 And his master said to him, We will not turn aside here into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah. 007 JDG 019 013 And he said to his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah. 007 JDG 019 014 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 007 JDG 019 015 And they turned aside there, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodge. 007 JDG 019 016 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at evening, who was also of mount Ephraim; and he dwelt in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites. 007 JDG 019 017 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Where goest thou? and where do you come from? 007 JDG 019 018 And he said to him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from there am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me into his house. 007 JDG 019 019 Yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing. 007 JDG 019 020 And the old man said, Peace be with thee; however let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street. 007 JDG 019 021 So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys: and they washed their feet, and ate and drank. 007 JDG 019 022 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain perverted men, beset the house on all sides, and beat at the door, and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him. 007 JDG 019 023 And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this folly. 007 JDG 019 024 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good to you: but to this man do not so vile a thing. 007 JDG 019 025 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go. 007 JDG 019 026 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light. 007 JDG 019 027 And her lord rose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold. 007 JDG 019 028 And he said to her, Rise, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her upon a donkey, and the man rose, and went to his place. 007 JDG 019 029 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the land of Israel. 007 JDG 019 030 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There hath been no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came from the land of Egypt to this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds. 007 JDG 020 001 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD in Mizpeh. 007 JDG 020 002 And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. 007 JDG 020 003 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness? 007 JDG 020 004 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 007 JDG 020 005 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead. 007 JDG 020 006 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 007 JDG 020 007 Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel. 007 JDG 020 008 And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house. 007 JDG 020 009 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it; 007 JDG 020 010 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel. 007 JDG 020 011 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. 007 JDG 020 012 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you? 007 JDG 020 013 Now therefore deliver us the men, the perverted men, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and remove the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel: 007 JDG 020 014 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 007 JDG 020 015 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 007 JDG 020 016 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss. 007 JDG 020 017 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war. 007 JDG 020 018 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first. 007 JDG 020 019 And the children of Israel rose in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 020 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 021 And the children of Benjamin came forth from Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men. 007 JDG 020 022 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day. 007 JDG 020 023 (And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.) 007 JDG 020 024 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 007 JDG 020 025 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword. 007 JDG 020 026 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. 007 JDG 020 027 And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 007 JDG 020 028 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thy hand. 007 JDG 020 029 And Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 030 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. 007 JDG 020 031 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel. 007 JDG 020 032 And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city to the highways. 007 JDG 020 033 And all the men of Israel rose out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and those of Israel who were in ambush came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 034 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was fierce: but they knew not that evil was near them. 007 JDG 020 035 And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword. 007 JDG 020 036 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted to the ones lying in ambush which they had set beside Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 037 And those in ambush hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the ones lying in ambush drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 007 JDG 020 038 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush, that they should make a great flame with smoke to ascend up from the city. 007 JDG 020 039 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle. 007 JDG 020 040 But when the flame began to ascend up from the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. 007 JDG 020 041 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil had come upon them. 007 JDG 020 042 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. 007 JDG 020 043 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites on all sides, and chased them, and trod them down with ease opposite Gibeah toward the sunrising. 007 JDG 020 044 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour. 007 JDG 020 045 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. 007 JDG 020 046 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour. 007 JDG 020 047 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months. 007 JDG 020 048 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to. 007 JDG 021 001 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter to Benjamin for a wife. 007 JDG 021 002 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept bitterly; 007 JDG 021 003 And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel? 007 JDG 021 004 And it came to pass on the next morning, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. 007 JDG 021 005 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation to the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death. 007 JDG 021 006 And the children of Israel repented for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. 007 JDG 021 007 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters for wives? 007 JDG 021 008 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly. 007 JDG 021 009 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. 007 JDG 021 010 And the congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. 007 JDG 021 011 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. 007 JDG 021 012 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. 007 JDG 021 013 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably to them. 007 JDG 021 014 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 007 JDG 021 015 And the people repented for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. 007 JDG 021 016 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin? 007 JDG 021 017 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that have escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. 007 JDG 021 018 But we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. 007 JDG 021 019 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. 007 JDG 021 020 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; 007 JDG 021 021 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. 007 JDG 021 022 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to us to complain, that we will say to them, Be favourable to them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give to them at this time, that ye should be guilty. 007 JDG 021 023 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them. 007 JDG 021 024 And the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went from there every man to his inheritance. 007 JDG 021 025 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. # # BOOK 008 RUT Ruth Ruth 008 RUT 001 001 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to dwell in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 008 RUT 001 002 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. 008 RUT 001 003 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 008 RUT 001 004 And they took for themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years. 008 RUT 001 005 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left without her two sons and her husband. 008 RUT 001 006 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them food. 008 RUT 001 007 Therefore she went forth from the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. 008 RUT 001 008 And Naomi said to her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. 008 RUT 001 009 The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 008 RUT 001 010 And they said to her, Surely we will return with thee to thy people. 008 RUT 001 011 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 008 RUT 001 012 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; 008 RUT 001 013 Would ye wait for them till they should be grown? would ye restrain yourselves from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD hast gone out against me. 008 RUT 001 014 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clung to her. 008 RUT 001 015 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law hath gone back to her people, and to her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 008 RUT 001 016 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to turn away from following thee: for where thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 008 RUT 001 017 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if any thing but death shall part thee and me. 008 RUT 001 018 When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her, then she finished speaking to her. 008 RUT 001 019 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? 008 RUT 001 020 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 008 RUT 001 021 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? 008 RUT 001 022 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, who returned from the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. 008 RUT 002 001 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz. 008 RUT 002 002 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter. 008 RUT 002 003 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to a part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. 008 RUT 002 004 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. 008 RUT 002 005 Then said Boaz to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? 008 RUT 002 006 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi from the country of Moab: 008 RUT 002 007 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. 008 RUT 002 008 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but abide here close by my maidens: 008 RUT 002 009 Let thy eyes be on the field that they are reaping, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. 008 RUT 002 010 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? 008 RUT 002 011 And Boaz answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to me, all that thou hast done to thy mother in law since the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and hast come to a people which thou knewest not before. 008 RUT 002 012 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust. 008 RUT 002 013 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens. 008 RUT 002 014 And Boaz said to her, At mealtime come thou here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached for her roasted grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left. 008 RUT 002 015 And when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: 008 RUT 002 016 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. 008 RUT 002 017 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out that which she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. 008 RUT 002 018 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied. 008 RUT 002 019 And her mother in law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where hast thou laboured? blessed be he that took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz. 008 RUT 002 020 And Naomi said to her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not withheld his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our next kinsmen. 008 RUT 002 021 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep close by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. 008 RUT 002 022 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou shouldest go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field. 008 RUT 002 023 So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law. 008 RUT 003 001 Then Naomi her mother in law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? 008 RUT 003 002 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. 008 RUT 003 003 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor: but make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have finished eating and drinking. 008 RUT 003 004 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. 008 RUT 003 005 And she said to her, All that thou sayest to me I will do. 008 RUT 003 006 And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her. 008 RUT 003 007 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down. 008 RUT 003 008 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. 008 RUT 003 009 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman. 008 RUT 003 010 And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou didst not follow young men, whether poor or rich. 008 RUT 003 011 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. 008 RUT 003 012 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: yet there is a kinsman nearer than I. 008 RUT 003 013 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning. 008 RUT 003 014 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came to the floor. 008 RUT 003 015 Also he said, Bring the veil that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city. 008 RUT 003 016 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. 008 RUT 003 017 And she said, These six measures of barley he gave me; for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother in law. 008 RUT 003 018 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou knowest how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he hath finished the thing this day. 008 RUT 004 001 Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such an one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. 008 RUT 004 002 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. 008 RUT 004 003 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that hast come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s: 008 RUT 004 004 And I thought to tell thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. 008 RUT 004 005 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. 008 RUT 004 006 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 008 RUT 004 007 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for confirming all things; a man took off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. 008 RUT 004 008 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for thyself. So he drew off his shoe. 008 RUT 004 009 And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi. 008 RUT 004 010 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 008 RUT 004 011 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that hath come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: 008 RUT 004 012 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. 008 RUT 004 013 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son. 008 RUT 004 014 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, who hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. 008 RUT 004 015 And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thy old age: for thy daughter in law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him. 008 RUT 004 016 And Naomi took the child, and laid him in her bosom, and became his nurse. 008 RUT 004 017 And the women her neighbours gave him a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 008 RUT 004 018 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, 008 RUT 004 019 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, 008 RUT 004 020 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, 008 RUT 004 021 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 008 RUT 004 022 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. # # BOOK 009 1SA 1 Samuel 1 Samuel 009 1SA 001 001 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: 009 1SA 001 002 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 009 1SA 001 003 And this man went up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there. 009 1SA 001 004 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 009 1SA 001 005 But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had closed up her womb. 009 1SA 001 006 And her adversary also provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because the LORD had closed up her womb. 009 1SA 001 007 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 009 1SA 001 008 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons? 009 1SA 001 009 So Hannah rose after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD. 009 1SA 001 010 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly. 009 1SA 001 011 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give to thy handmaid a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 009 1SA 001 012 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli observed her mouth. 009 1SA 001 013 Now Hannah, spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 009 1SA 001 014 And Eli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunk? put away thy wine from thee. 009 1SA 001 015 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. 009 1SA 001 016 Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I been speaking. 009 1SA 001 017 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 009 1SA 001 018 And she said, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more sad. 009 1SA 001 019 And they rose in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. 009 1SA 001 020 Therefore it came to pass, when the time had arrived after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD. 009 1SA 001 021 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 009 1SA 001 022 But Hannah went not up; for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever. 009 1SA 001 023 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seemeth to thee good; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and nursed her son until she weaned him. 009 1SA 001 024 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young. 009 1SA 001 025 And they slew a bull, and brought the child to Eli. 009 1SA 001 026 And she said, O my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying to the LORD. 009 1SA 001 027 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 009 1SA 001 028 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there. 009 1SA 002 001 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 009 1SA 002 002 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none besides thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 009 1SA 002 003 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 009 1SA 002 004 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 009 1SA 002 005 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children is become feeble. 009 1SA 002 006 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585) 009 1SA 002 007 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 009 1SA 002 008 He raiseth the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them. 009 1SA 002 009 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 009 1SA 002 010 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 009 1SA 002 011 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest. 009 1SA 002 012 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they knew not the LORD. 009 1SA 002 013 And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; 009 1SA 002 014 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there. 009 1SA 002 015 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of thee, but raw. 009 1SA 002 016 And if any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it to me now: and if not, I will take it by force. 009 1SA 002 017 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD. 009 1SA 002 018 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. 009 1SA 002 019 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 009 1SA 002 020 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to their own home. 009 1SA 002 021 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD. 009 1SA 002 022 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 009 1SA 002 023 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 009 1SA 002 024 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’S people to transgress. 009 1SA 002 025 If one man shall sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man shall sin against the LORD, who shall plead for him? However they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them. 009 1SA 002 026 And the child Samuel continued to grow, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men. 009 1SA 002 027 And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house? 009 1SA 002 028 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel? 009 1SA 002 029 Why trample ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people? 009 1SA 002 030 Therefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 009 1SA 002 031 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house. 009 1SA 002 032 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever. 009 1SA 002 033 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age. 009 1SA 002 034 And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them. 009 1SA 002 035 And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed for ever. 009 1SA 002 036 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread. 009 1SA 003 001 And the child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. 009 1SA 003 002 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes began to grow dim, that he could not see; 009 1SA 003 003 And before the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was lying down to sleep; 009 1SA 003 004 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. 009 1SA 003 005 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. 009 1SA 003 006 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. 009 1SA 003 007 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him. 009 1SA 003 008 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 009 1SA 003 009 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he should call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 009 1SA 003 010 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 009 1SA 003 011 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. 009 1SA 003 012 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. 009 1SA 003 013 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 009 1SA 003 014 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. 009 1SA 003 015 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to tell Eli the vision. 009 1SA 003 016 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I. 009 1SA 003 017 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou shalt hide any thing from me of all the things that he said to thee. 009 1SA 003 018 And Samuel told him every thing, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. 009 1SA 003 019 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground. 009 1SA 003 020 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. 009 1SA 003 021 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. 009 1SA 004 001 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek. 009 1SA 004 002 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men. 009 1SA 004 003 And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies. 009 1SA 004 004 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. 009 1SA 004 005 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook. 009 1SA 004 006 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp. 009 1SA 004 007 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God hath come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! for there hath not been such a thing before. 009 1SA 004 008 Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness. 009 1SA 004 009 Be strong, and acquit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye may not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: acquit yourselves like men, and fight. 009 1SA 004 010 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 009 1SA 004 011 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 009 1SA 004 012 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and with earth upon his head. 009 1SA 004 013 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the way side watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out. 009 1SA 004 014 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli. 009 1SA 004 015 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 009 1SA 004 016 And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son? 009 1SA 004 017 And the messenger answered and said, Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. 009 1SA 004 018 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. 009 1SA 004 019 And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her. 009 1SA 004 020 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said to her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. 009 1SA 004 021 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory hath departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. 009 1SA 004 022 And she said, The glory hath departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken. 009 1SA 005 001 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 009 1SA 005 002 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 009 1SA 005 003 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 009 1SA 005 004 And when they arose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. 009 1SA 005 005 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day. 009 1SA 005 006 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with haemorrhoids, even Ashdod and its land. 009 1SA 005 007 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god. 009 1SA 005 008 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel there. 009 1SA 005 009 And it was so, that, after they had carried it there, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had haemorrhoids in their secret parts. 009 1SA 005 010 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. 009 1SA 005 011 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. 009 1SA 005 012 And the men that died not were smitten with the haemorrhoids: and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 009 1SA 006 001 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months. 009 1SA 006 002 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us how we shall send it to its place. 009 1SA 006 003 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but by all means return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you. 009 1SA 006 004 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden haemorrhoids, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords. 009 1SA 006 005 Therefore ye shall make images of your haemorrhoids, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land. 009 1SA 006 006 Why then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed? 009 1SA 006 007 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milk cows, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them: 009 1SA 006 008 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return to him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go. 009 1SA 006 009 And see, if it goeth up by the way of its own land to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us. 009 1SA 006 010 And the men did so; and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home: 009 1SA 006 011 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their haemorrhoids. 009 1SA 006 012 And the cows took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Bethshemesh. 009 1SA 006 013 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 009 1SA 006 014 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they cut up the wood of the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD. 009 1SA 006 015 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the box that was with it, in which were the jewels of gold, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD. 009 1SA 006 016 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 009 1SA 006 017 And these are the golden haemorrhoids which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one; 009 1SA 006 018 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities, and of country villages, even to the great stone of Abel, on which they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth to this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite. 009 1SA 006 019 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and seventy men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter. 009 1SA 006 020 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us? 009 1SA 006 021 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and bring it up to you. 009 1SA 007 001 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD. 009 1SA 007 002 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD. 009 1SA 007 003 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 007 004 Then the children of Israel put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. 009 1SA 007 005 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD. 009 1SA 007 006 And they gathered together at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. 009 1SA 007 007 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. 009 1SA 007 008 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 007 009 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. 009 1SA 007 010 And as Samuel was offering the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and smote them; and they were smitten before Israel. 009 1SA 007 011 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar. 009 1SA 007 012 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Thus far hath the LORD helped us. 009 1SA 007 013 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the land of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 009 1SA 007 014 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and its land did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites. 009 1SA 007 015 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. 009 1SA 007 016 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. 009 1SA 007 017 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD. 009 1SA 008 001 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. 009 1SA 008 002 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. 009 1SA 008 003 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after money, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 009 1SA 008 004 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah, 009 1SA 008 005 And said to him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 009 1SA 008 006 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 009 1SA 008 007 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 009 1SA 008 008 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also to thee. 009 1SA 008 009 Now therefore hearken to their voice: yet protest solemnly to them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 009 1SA 008 010 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people that asked of him a king. 009 1SA 008 011 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. 009 1SA 008 012 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to till his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. 009 1SA 008 013 And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 009 1SA 008 014 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. 009 1SA 008 015 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. 009 1SA 008 016 And he will take your male servants, and your female servants, and your most choice young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. 009 1SA 008 017 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. 009 1SA 008 018 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. 009 1SA 008 019 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; 009 1SA 008 020 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. 009 1SA 008 021 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he reported them in the ears of the LORD. 009 1SA 008 022 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city. 009 1SA 009 001 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. 009 1SA 009 002 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and handsome: and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people. 009 1SA 009 003 And the donkeys of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the donkeys. 009 1SA 009 004 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. 009 1SA 009 005 And when they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father stop caring for the donkeys, and be troubled for us. 009 1SA 009 006 And he said to him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go there; perhaps he can show us our way that we should go. 009 1SA 009 007 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring to the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we? 009 1SA 009 008 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. 009 1SA 009 009 (In times past in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was in times past called a Seer.) 009 1SA 009 010 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was. 009 1SA 009 011 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here? 009 1SA 009 012 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place: 009 1SA 009 013 As soon as ye shall enter the city, ye shall immediately find him, before he goeth up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he cometh, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up; for about this time ye shall find him. 009 1SA 009 014 And they went up into the city: and when they had come into the city, behold, Samuel came out meeting them, to go up to the high place. 009 1SA 009 015 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, 009 1SA 009 016 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people from the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry hast come to me. 009 1SA 009 017 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee! this same shall reign over my people. 009 1SA 009 018 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is. 009 1SA 009 019 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me to the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart. 009 1SA 009 020 And as for thy donkeys that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s house? 009 1SA 009 021 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? why then speakest thou so to me? 009 1SA 009 022 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chief place among them that were invited, who were about thirty persons. 009 1SA 009 023 And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said to thee, Set it by thee. 009 1SA 009 024 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for to this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 009 1SA 009 025 And when they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel talked with Saul upon the top of the house. 009 1SA 009 026 And they rose early: and it came to pass about the dawn of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Arise, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 009 1SA 009 027 And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on, ) but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God. 009 1SA 010 001 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance? 009 1SA 010 002 When thou hast departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath stopped caring for the donkeys, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son? 009 1SA 010 003 Then shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: 009 1SA 010 004 And they will greet thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive from their hands. 009 1SA 010 005 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou hast come there to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: 009 1SA 010 006 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 009 1SA 010 007 And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee; for God is with thee. 009 1SA 010 008 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do. 009 1SA 010 009 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day. 009 1SA 010 010 And when they came there to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 009 1SA 010 011 And it came to pass, when all that knew him in times past saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that hath come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? 009 1SA 010 012 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 009 1SA 010 013 And when he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place. 009 1SA 010 014 And Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went ye? And he said, To seek the donkeys: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel. 009 1SA 010 015 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you. 009 1SA 010 016 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he told him not. 009 1SA 010 017 And Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh; 009 1SA 010 018 And said to the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: 009 1SA 010 019 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said to him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands. 009 1SA 010 020 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 009 1SA 010 021 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found. 009 1SA 010 022 Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come there. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage. 009 1SA 010 023 And they ran and brought him from there: and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 009 1SA 010 024 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. 009 1SA 010 025 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. 009 1SA 010 026 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. 009 1SA 010 027 But the worthless men said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace. 009 1SA 011 001 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 009 1SA 011 002 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel. 009 1SA 011 003 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers to all the land of Israel: and then, if there is no man to save us, we will come out to thee. 009 1SA 011 004 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 009 1SA 011 005 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh. 009 1SA 011 006 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. 009 1SA 011 007 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the land of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent. 009 1SA 011 008 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 009 1SA 011 009 And they said to the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and told it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. 009 1SA 011 010 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out to you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good to you. 009 1SA 011 011 And it was so on the next morning, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they who remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. 009 1SA 011 012 And the people said to Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death. 009 1SA 011 013 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel. 009 1SA 011 014 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. 009 1SA 011 015 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly. 009 1SA 012 001 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you. 009 1SA 012 002 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 009 1SA 012 003 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose donkey have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I received any bribe to blind my eyes with it? and I will restore it you. 009 1SA 012 004 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken any thing from any man’s hand. 009 1SA 012 005 And he said to them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found any thing in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. 009 1SA 012 006 And Samuel said to the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt. 009 1SA 012 007 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers. 009 1SA 012 008 When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers from Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. 009 1SA 012 009 And when they forgot the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them. 009 1SA 012 010 And they cried to the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. 009 1SA 012 011 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt safe. 009 1SA 012 012 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king. 009 1SA 012 013 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you. 009 1SA 012 014 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God: 009 1SA 012 015 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers. 009 1SA 012 016 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes. 009 1SA 012 017 Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call to the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. 009 1SA 012 018 So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. 009 1SA 012 019 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king. 009 1SA 012 020 And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; 009 1SA 012 021 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. 009 1SA 012 022 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. 009 1SA 012 023 Moreover as for me, Far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: 009 1SA 012 024 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider what great things he hath done for you. 009 1SA 012 025 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king. 009 1SA 013 001 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 009 1SA 013 002 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel; of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent. 009 1SA 013 003 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 009 1SA 013 004 And all Israel heard it said that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was held in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 009 1SA 013 005 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven. 009 1SA 013 006 When the men of Israel saw that they were hedged in, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. 009 1SA 013 007 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 009 1SA 013 008 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 009 1SA 013 009 And Saul said, Bring here a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. 009 1SA 013 010 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might bless him. 009 1SA 013 011 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; 009 1SA 013 012 Therefore said I, The Philistines will now come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. 009 1SA 013 013 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 009 1SA 013 014 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee. 009 1SA 013 015 And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men. 009 1SA 013 016 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 009 1SA 013 017 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leadeth to Ophrah, to the land of Shual: 009 1SA 013 018 And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. 009 1SA 013 019 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears: 009 1SA 013 020 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 009 1SA 013 021 And there was a charge of a third of a shekel for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. 009 1SA 013 022 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. 009 1SA 013 023 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash. 009 1SA 014 001 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines that is on the other side. But he told not his father. 009 1SA 014 002 And Saul tarried at the edge of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men; 009 1SA 014 003 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD’S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. 009 1SA 014 004 And on each side of the pass, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 009 1SA 014 005 The front of the one rose northward opposite Michmash, and the other southward opposite Gibeah. 009 1SA 014 006 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. 009 1SA 014 007 And his armourbearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. 009 1SA 014 008 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them. 009 1SA 014 009 If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them. 009 1SA 014 010 But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign to us. 009 1SA 014 011 And both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves. 009 1SA 014 012 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you something. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel. 009 1SA 014 013 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him. 009 1SA 014 014 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow. 009 1SA 014 015 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling. 009 1SA 014 016 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another. 009 1SA 014 017 Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there. 009 1SA 014 018 And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel. 009 1SA 014 019 And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand. 009 1SA 014 020 And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his companion, and there was a very great confusion. 009 1SA 014 021 Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the surrounding country, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan. 009 1SA 014 022 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle. 009 1SA 014 023 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to Bethaven. 009 1SA 014 024 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had solemnly charged the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food. 009 1SA 014 025 And all they of the land came to a forest; and there was honey upon the ground. 009 1SA 014 026 And when the people had come into the forest, behold, the honey flowed; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath. 009 1SA 014 027 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: therefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. 009 1SA 014 028 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint. 009 1SA 014 029 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes have become bright, because I tasted a little of this honey. 009 1SA 014 030 How much better, if only the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines? 009 1SA 014 031 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint. 009 1SA 014 032 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood. 009 1SA 014 033 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day. 009 1SA 014 034 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there. 009 1SA 014 035 And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built to the LORD. 009 1SA 014 036 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seemeth good to thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near to God here. 009 1SA 014 037 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day. 009 1SA 014 038 And Saul said, Come ye here, all the chief of the people: and know and see what this sin hath been this day. 009 1SA 014 039 For, as the LORD liveth, who saveth Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him. 009 1SA 014 040 Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seemeth good to thee. 009 1SA 014 041 Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. 009 1SA 014 042 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken. 009 1SA 014 043 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and, lo, I must die. 009 1SA 014 044 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. 009 1SA 014 045 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? By no means: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not. 009 1SA 014 046 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. 009 1SA 014 047 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he smote them. 009 1SA 014 048 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them. 009 1SA 014 049 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: 009 1SA 014 050 And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle. 009 1SA 014 051 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. 009 1SA 014 052 And there was a fierce war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself. 009 1SA 015 001 Samuel also said to Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou to the voice of the words of the LORD. 009 1SA 015 002 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 009 1SA 015 003 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey. 009 1SA 015 004 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 009 1SA 015 005 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 009 1SA 015 006 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up from Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 009 1SA 015 007 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is east of Egypt. 009 1SA 015 008 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 009 1SA 015 009 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 009 1SA 015 010 Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying, 009 1SA 015 011 I repent that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried to the LORD all night. 009 1SA 015 012 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and hast gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 009 1SA 015 013 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. 009 1SA 015 014 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 009 1SA 015 015 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 009 1SA 015 016 Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on. 009 1SA 015 017 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thy own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? 009 1SA 015 018 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed. 009 1SA 015 019 Why then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 009 1SA 015 020 And Saul said to Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 009 1SA 015 021 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God in Gilgal. 009 1SA 015 022 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 009 1SA 015 023 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 009 1SA 015 024 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 009 1SA 015 025 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. 009 1SA 015 026 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. 009 1SA 015 027 And as Samuel turned about to depart, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it tore. 009 1SA 015 028 And Samuel said to him, The LORD hath torn the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. 009 1SA 015 029 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. 009 1SA 015 030 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. 009 1SA 015 031 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD. 009 1SA 015 032 Then said Samuel, Bring ye here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. 009 1SA 015 033 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. 009 1SA 015 034 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 009 1SA 015 035 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. 009 1SA 016 001 And the LORD said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 009 1SA 016 002 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul shall hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. 009 1SA 016 003 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint to me him whom I name to thee. 009 1SA 016 004 And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 009 1SA 016 005 And he said, Peaceably: I have come to sacrifice to the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 009 1SA 016 006 And it came to pass, when they had come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’S anointed is before him. 009 1SA 016 007 But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 009 1SA 016 008 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. 009 1SA 016 009 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. 009 1SA 016 010 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. 009 1SA 016 011 And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and bring him: for we will not sit down till he hath come here. 009 1SA 016 012 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and also of a beautiful countenance, and a good appearance. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. 009 1SA 016 013 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day onward. So Samuel arose, and went to Ramah. 009 1SA 016 014 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 009 1SA 016 015 And Saul’s servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 009 1SA 016 016 Let our lord now command thy servants, who are before thee, to seek a man, who is a skilful player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 009 1SA 016 017 And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. 009 1SA 016 018 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is skilful in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a handsome person, and the LORD is with him. 009 1SA 016 019 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send to me David thy son, who is with the sheep. 009 1SA 016 020 And Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul. 009 1SA 016 021 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. 009 1SA 016 022 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. 009 1SA 016 023 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 009 1SA 017 001 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and encamped between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim. 009 1SA 017 002 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped by the valley of Elah, and they set the battle in array against the Philistines. 009 1SA 017 003 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 009 1SA 017 004 And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 009 1SA 017 005 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 009 1SA 017 006 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a gorget of brass between his shoulders. 009 1SA 017 007 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. 009 1SA 017 008 And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why have ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose for yourselves a man for you, and let him come down to me. 009 1SA 017 009 If he shall be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I shall prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. 009 1SA 017 010 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. 009 1SA 017 011 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 009 1SA 017 012 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul. 009 1SA 017 013 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 009 1SA 017 014 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul. 009 1SA 017 015 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem. 009 1SA 017 016 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 009 1SA 017 017 And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this roasted grain, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren; 009 1SA 017 018 And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. 009 1SA 017 019 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 009 1SA 017 020 And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle. 009 1SA 017 021 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army. 009 1SA 017 022 And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the army, and came and greeted his brethren. 009 1SA 017 023 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, from the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them. 009 1SA 017 024 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were exceedingly afraid. 009 1SA 017 025 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that hath come up? surely to defy Israel hath he come: and it shall be, that the man who shall kill him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel. 009 1SA 017 026 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 009 1SA 017 027 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. 009 1SA 017 028 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down here? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mayest see the battle. 009 1SA 017 029 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? 009 1SA 017 030 And he turned from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. 009 1SA 017 031 And when the words were heard which David spoke, they reported them before Saul: and he sent for him. 009 1SA 017 032 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 009 1SA 017 033 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 009 1SA 017 034 And David said to Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 009 1SA 017 035 And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. 009 1SA 017 036 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 009 1SA 017 037 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. 009 1SA 017 038 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 009 1SA 017 039 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he tried to go; for he had not proved it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off from him. 009 1SA 017 040 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a bag; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. 009 1SA 017 041 And the Philistine advanced and drew near to David; and the man that bore the shield went before him. 009 1SA 017 042 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 009 1SA 017 043 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staffs? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 009 1SA 017 044 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 009 1SA 017 045 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 009 1SA 017 046 This day will the LORD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 009 1SA 017 047 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hands. 009 1SA 017 048 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 009 1SA 017 049 And David put his hand in his bag, and took from there a stone, and slung it with his sling, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 009 1SA 017 050 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 009 1SA 017 051 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. 009 1SA 017 052 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, to the entrance of the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron. 009 1SA 017 053 And the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents. 009 1SA 017 054 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. 009 1SA 017 055 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 009 1SA 017 056 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is. 009 1SA 017 057 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 009 1SA 017 058 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite. 009 1SA 018 001 And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 009 1SA 018 002 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house. 009 1SA 018 003 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 009 1SA 018 004 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his belt. 009 1SA 018 005 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. 009 1SA 018 006 And it came to pass as they came, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music. 009 1SA 018 007 And the women spoke to one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 009 1SA 018 008 And Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 009 1SA 018 009 And Saul kept a jealous eye on David from that day and onward. 009 1SA 018 010 And it came to pass on the next day, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand. 009 1SA 018 011 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice. 009 1SA 018 012 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul. 009 1SA 018 013 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 009 1SA 018 014 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. 009 1SA 018 015 Therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 009 1SA 018 016 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. 009 1SA 018 017 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee for a wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. 009 1SA 018 018 And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king? 009 1SA 018 019 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. 009 1SA 018 020 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 009 1SA 018 021 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the two. 009 1SA 018 022 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Speak with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son in law. 009 1SA 018 023 And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? 009 1SA 018 024 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David. 009 1SA 018 025 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 018 026 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days had not expired. 009 1SA 018 027 Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife. 009 1SA 018 028 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him. 009 1SA 018 029 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually. 009 1SA 018 030 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed. 009 1SA 019 001 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. 009 1SA 019 002 But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself: 009 1SA 019 003 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will talk with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee. 009 1SA 019 004 And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been toward thee very good: 009 1SA 019 005 For he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause? 009 1SA 019 006 And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain. 009 1SA 019 007 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past. 009 1SA 019 008 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him. 009 1SA 019 009 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand. 009 1SA 019 010 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away from Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night. 009 1SA 019 011 Saul also sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou dost not save thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain. 009 1SA 019 012 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. 009 1SA 019 013 And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair for his head, and covered it with a cloth. 009 1SA 019 014 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick. 009 1SA 019 015 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him. 009 1SA 019 016 And when the messengers had come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ hair for his head. 009 1SA 019 017 And Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he hast escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill thee? 009 1SA 019 018 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. 009 1SA 019 019 And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah. 009 1SA 019 020 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. 009 1SA 019 021 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. 009 1SA 019 022 Then he went also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah. 009 1SA 019 023 And he went there to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 009 1SA 019 024 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? 009 1SA 020 001 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? 009 1SA 020 002 And he said to him, Far be it from thee; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it to me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. 009 1SA 020 003 And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. 009 1SA 020 004 Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. 009 1SA 020 005 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at the table: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening. 009 1SA 020 006 If thy father shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 009 1SA 020 007 If he shall say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he shall be very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him. 009 1SA 020 008 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: however, if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? 009 1SA 020 009 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee? 009 1SA 020 010 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father shall answer thee roughly? 009 1SA 020 011 And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. 009 1SA 020 012 And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and show it thee; 009 1SA 020 013 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it to thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 009 1SA 020 014 And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I may not die: 009 1SA 020 015 But also thou shalt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth. 009 1SA 020 016 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David’s enemies. 009 1SA 020 017 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 009 1SA 020 018 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. 009 1SA 020 019 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. 009 1SA 020 020 And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark. 009 1SA 020 021 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth. 009 1SA 020 022 But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away. 009 1SA 020 023 And as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever. 009 1SA 020 024 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat down to eat food. 009 1SA 020 025 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty. 009 1SA 020 026 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. 009 1SA 020 027 And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor to day? 009 1SA 020 028 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem: 009 1SA 020 029 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not to the king’s table. 009 1SA 020 030 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy mother’s nakedness? 009 1SA 020 031 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die. 009 1SA 020 032 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? what hath he done? 009 1SA 020 033 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay David. 009 1SA 020 034 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame. 009 1SA 020 035 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him. 009 1SA 020 036 And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 009 1SA 020 037 And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee? 009 1SA 020 038 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. 009 1SA 020 039 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 009 1SA 020 040 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city. 009 1SA 020 041 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, but David more so. 009 1SA 020 042 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. 009 1SA 021 001 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 009 1SA 021 002 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said to me, Let no man know any thing of the business about which I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. 009 1SA 021 003 Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or what there is present. 009 1SA 021 004 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. 009 1SA 021 005 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel. 009 1SA 021 006 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. 009 1SA 021 007 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdmen that belonged to Saul. 009 1SA 021 008 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand a spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste. 009 1SA 021 009 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other except that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me. 009 1SA 021 010 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 009 1SA 021 011 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 009 1SA 021 012 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 009 1SA 021 013 And he changed his behaviour before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and made marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. 009 1SA 021 014 Then said Achish to his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: why then have ye brought him to me? 009 1SA 021 015 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house? 009 1SA 022 001 David therefore departed from there, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. 009 1SA 022 002 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, resorted to him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. 009 1SA 022 003 And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 009 1SA 022 004 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the strong hold. 009 1SA 022 005 And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the strong hold; depart, and come into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth. 009 1SA 022 006 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him; ) 009 1SA 022 007 Then Saul said to his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give each one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds; 009 1SA 022 008 That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that showeth to me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or showeth to me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? 009 1SA 022 009 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. 009 1SA 022 010 And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine. 009 1SA 022 011 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king. 009 1SA 022 012 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. 009 1SA 022 013 And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? 009 1SA 022 014 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king’s son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house? 009 1SA 022 015 Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing to his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more. 009 1SA 022 016 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house. 009 1SA 022 017 And the king said to the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD. 009 1SA 022 018 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty and five persons that wore a linen ephod. 009 1SA 022 019 And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword. 009 1SA 022 020 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. 009 1SA 022 021 And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the LORD’S priests. 009 1SA 022 022 And David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father’s house. 009 1SA 022 023 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard. 009 1SA 023 001 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors. 009 1SA 023 002 Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said to David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. 009 1SA 023 003 And David’s men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? 009 1SA 023 004 Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 009 1SA 023 005 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 009 1SA 023 006 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand. 009 1SA 023 007 And it was told to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars. 009 1SA 023 008 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 009 1SA 023 009 And David knew that Saul secretly devised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod. 009 1SA 023 010 Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. 009 1SA 023 011 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down. 009 1SA 023 012 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up. 009 1SA 023 013 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and went wherever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; and he did not go there. 009 1SA 023 014 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand. 009 1SA 023 015 And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood. 009 1SA 023 016 And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. 009 1SA 023 017 And he said to him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth. 009 1SA 023 018 And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house. 009 1SA 023 019 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon? 009 1SA 023 020 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king’s hand. 009 1SA 023 021 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me. 009 1SA 023 022 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told to me that he dealeth very subtilly. 009 1SA 023 023 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he is in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah. 009 1SA 023 024 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. 009 1SA 023 025 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: therefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. 009 1SA 023 026 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men on all sides to take them. 009 1SA 023 027 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land. 009 1SA 023 028 Therefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth. 009 1SA 023 029 Then David went up from there, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi. 009 1SA 024 001 And it came to pass, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi. 009 1SA 024 002 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. 009 1SA 024 003 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. 009 1SA 024 004 And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe. 009 1SA 024 005 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt. 009 1SA 024 006 And he said to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’S anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD. 009 1SA 024 007 So David restrained his servants with these words, and permitted them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose out of the cave, and went on his way. 009 1SA 024 008 David also rose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself. 009 1SA 024 009 And David said to Saul, Why hearest thou men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy harm? 009 1SA 024 010 Behold, this day thy eyes have seen how the LORD hath delivered thee to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but my eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’S anointed. 009 1SA 024 011 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it. 009 1SA 024 012 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee. 009 1SA 024 013 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but my hand shall not be upon thee. 009 1SA 024 014 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. 009 1SA 024 015 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand. 009 1SA 024 016 And it came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. 009 1SA 024 017 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded thee with evil. 009 1SA 024 018 And thou hast showed this day how thou hast dealt with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me. 009 1SA 024 019 For if a man findeth his enemy, will he let him go away well? therefore the LORD reward thee with good for what thou hast done to me this day. 009 1SA 024 020 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand. 009 1SA 024 021 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father’s house. 009 1SA 024 022 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the strong hold. 009 1SA 025 001 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran. 009 1SA 025 002 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 009 1SA 025 003 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb. 009 1SA 025 004 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 009 1SA 025 005 And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: 009 1SA 025 006 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast. 009 1SA 025 007 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there any thing missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel. 009 1SA 025 008 Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thy eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatever cometh to thy hand to thy servants, and to thy son David. 009 1SA 025 009 And when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, and ceased. 009 1SA 025 010 And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants in these days that break away every man from his master. 009 1SA 025 011 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men, whom I know not from where they are? 009 1SA 025 012 So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all these sayings. 009 1SA 025 013 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage. 009 1SA 025 014 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them. 009 1SA 025 015 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields: 009 1SA 025 016 They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. 009 1SA 025 017 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a worthless man, that a man cannot speak to him. 009 1SA 025 018 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of roasted grain, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys. 009 1SA 025 019 And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. 009 1SA 025 020 And it was so, as she rode on the donkey, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them. 009 1SA 025 021 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he hath repaid me evil for good. 009 1SA 025 022 So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any male person. 009 1SA 025 023 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and got off the donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, 009 1SA 025 024 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, and hear the words of thy handmaid. 009 1SA 025 025 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless man, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. 009 1SA 025 026 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withheld thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thy own hand, now let thy enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. 009 1SA 025 027 And now this blessing which thy handmaid hath brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men that follow my lord. 009 1SA 025 028 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thy handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. 009 1SA 025 029 Yet a man hath risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thy enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the middle of a sling. 009 1SA 025 030 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; 009 1SA 025 031 That this shall be no grief to thee, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid. 009 1SA 025 032 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me: 009 1SA 025 033 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with my own hand. 009 1SA 025 034 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, who hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male person. 009 1SA 025 035 So David received from her hand that which she had brought him, and said to her, Return in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person. 009 1SA 025 036 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk: therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light. 009 1SA 025 037 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had left Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 009 1SA 025 038 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died. 009 1SA 025 039 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and talked with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife. 009 1SA 025 040 And when the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to him for a wife. 009 1SA 025 041 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. 009 1SA 025 042 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon a donkey, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. 009 1SA 025 043 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives. 009 1SA 025 044 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim. 009 1SA 026 001 And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon? 009 1SA 026 002 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. 009 1SA 026 003 And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness. 009 1SA 026 004 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had come in very deed. 009 1SA 026 005 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people encamped around him. 009 1SA 026 006 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee. 009 1SA 026 007 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his head: but Abner and the people lay about him. 009 1SA 026 008 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thy enemy into thy hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. 009 1SA 026 009 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’S anointed, and be guiltless? 009 1SA 026 010 David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish. 009 1SA 026 011 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against the LORD’S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go. 009 1SA 026 012 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from beside Saul’s head; and they departed, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awoke: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them. 009 1SA 026 013 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them: 009 1SA 026 014 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king? 009 1SA 026 015 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came in one of the people to destroy the king thy lord. 009 1SA 026 016 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD’S anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head. 009 1SA 026 017 And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. 009 1SA 026 018 And he said, Why doth my lord thus pursue his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand? 009 1SA 026 019 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they are the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods. 009 1SA 026 020 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel hath come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains. 009 1SA 026 021 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thy eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 009 1SA 026 022 And David answered and said, Behold the king’s spear! and let one of the young men come over and take it. 009 1SA 026 023 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth my hand against the LORD’S anointed. 009 1SA 026 024 And, behold, as thy life was precious this day in my eyes, so let my life be precious in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation. 009 1SA 026 025 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. 009 1SA 027 001 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any part of Israel: so shall I escape from his hand. 009 1SA 027 002 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 009 1SA 027 003 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife. 009 1SA 027 004 And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. 009 1SA 027 005 And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in thy eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? 009 1SA 027 006 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag pertaineth to the kings of Judah to this day. 009 1SA 027 007 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. 009 1SA 027 008 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even to the land of Egypt. 009 1SA 027 009 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish. 009 1SA 027 010 And Achish said, Where have ye plundered to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. 009 1SA 027 011 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should inform against us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines. 009 1SA 027 012 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 009 1SA 028 001 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men. 009 1SA 028 002 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever. 009 1SA 028 003 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that were mediums, and the wizards, out of the land. 009 1SA 028 004 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa. 009 1SA 028 005 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 009 1SA 028 006 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 009 1SA 028 007 Then said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that is a medium, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a medium at Endor. 009 1SA 028 008 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine to me as a medium, and bring up for me, whom I shall name to thee. 009 1SA 028 009 And the woman said to him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that are mediums, and the wizards, out of the land: Why then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? 009 1SA 028 010 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. 009 1SA 028 011 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 009 1SA 028 012 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 009 1SA 028 013 And the king said to her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said to Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 009 1SA 028 014 And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 009 1SA 028 015 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am grievously distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God hath departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known to me what I shall do. 009 1SA 028 016 Then said Samuel, Why then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD hath departed from thee, and hath become thy enemy? 009 1SA 028 017 And the LORD hath done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD hath torn the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: 009 1SA 028 018 Because thou didst not obey the voice of the LORD, nor execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing to thee this day. 009 1SA 028 019 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 028 020 Then Saul fell immediately all along on the earth, and was exceedingly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night. 009 1SA 028 021 And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was greatly troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spoke to me. 009 1SA 028 022 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way. 009 1SA 028 023 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened to their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. 009 1SA 028 024 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it: 009 1SA 028 025 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they arose, and went away that night. 009 1SA 029 001 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel. 009 1SA 029 002 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish. 009 1SA 029 003 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell to me to this day? 009 1SA 029 004 And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he should be an adversary to us: for how should he reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men? 009 1SA 029 005 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 009 1SA 029 006 Then Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee from the day of thy coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not. 009 1SA 029 007 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines. 009 1SA 029 008 And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king? 009 1SA 029 009 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: however the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle. 009 1SA 029 010 Therefore now rise early in the morning with thy master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye shall have risen early in the morning, and have light, depart. 009 1SA 029 011 So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel. 009 1SA 030 001 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 009 1SA 030 002 And had taken the women captives, that were in it: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 009 1SA 030 003 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 009 1SA 030 004 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 009 1SA 030 005 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 009 1SA 030 006 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. 009 1SA 030 007 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought there the ephod to David. 009 1SA 030 008 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 009 1SA 030 009 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind remained. 009 1SA 030 010 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor. 009 1SA 030 011 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they made him drink water; 009 1SA 030 012 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. 009 1SA 030 013 And David said to him, To whom belongest thou? and from where art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick. 009 1SA 030 014 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the land which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire. 009 1SA 030 015 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. 009 1SA 030 016 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah. 009 1SA 030 017 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, except four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled. 009 1SA 030 018 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 009 1SA 030 019 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all. 009 1SA 030 020 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil. 009 1SA 030 021 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he greeted them. 009 1SA 030 022 Then answered all the wicked and worthless men, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart. 009 1SA 030 023 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand. 009 1SA 030 024 For who will hearken to you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the baggage: they shall divide alike. 009 1SA 030 025 And it was so from that day onward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day. 009 1SA 030 026 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD; 009 1SA 030 027 To them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in south Ramoth, and to them who were in Jattir, 009 1SA 030 028 And to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa, 009 1SA 030 029 And to them who were in Rachal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites, 009 1SA 030 030 And to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Chorashan, and to them who were in Athach, 009 1SA 030 031 And to them who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to resort. 009 1SA 031 001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 009 1SA 031 002 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. 009 1SA 031 003 And the battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was grievously wounded by the archers. 009 1SA 031 004 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 009 1SA 031 005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. 009 1SA 031 006 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together. 009 1SA 031 007 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 009 1SA 031 008 And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 009 1SA 031 009 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent them around the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the house of their idols, and among the people. 009 1SA 031 010 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan. 009 1SA 031 011 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul; 009 1SA 031 012 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. 009 1SA 031 013 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. # # BOOK 010 2SA 2 Samuel 2 Samuel 010 2SA 001 001 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; 010 2SA 001 002 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes torn, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. 010 2SA 001 003 And David said to him, From where comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel have I escaped. 010 2SA 001 004 And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. 010 2SA 001 005 And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? 010 2SA 001 006 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 010 2SA 001 007 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I. 010 2SA 001 008 And he said to me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 010 2SA 001 009 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. 010 2SA 001 010 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord. 010 2SA 001 011 Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men that were with him: 010 2SA 001 012 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword. 010 2SA 001 013 And David said to the young man that told him, From where art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. 010 2SA 001 014 And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the LORD’S anointed? 010 2SA 001 015 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. 010 2SA 001 016 And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’S anointed. 010 2SA 001 017 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: 010 2SA 001 018 (Also he told them to teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.) 010 2SA 001 019 Thy glory, O Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! 010 2SA 001 020 Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 010 2SA 001 021 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. 010 2SA 001 022 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. 010 2SA 001 023 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 010 2SA 001 024 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 010 2SA 001 025 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thy high places. 010 2SA 001 026 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 010 2SA 001 027 How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! 010 2SA 002 001 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron. 010 2SA 002 002 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite. 010 2SA 002 003 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 010 2SA 002 004 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul. 010 2SA 002 005 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabeshgilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him. 010 2SA 002 006 And now the LORD show kindness and truth to you: and I also will repay you this kindness, because ye have done this thing. 010 2SA 002 007 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them. 010 2SA 002 008 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; 010 2SA 002 009 And he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. 010 2SA 002 010 Ishbosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. 010 2SA 002 011 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. 010 2SA 002 012 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. 010 2SA 002 013 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool. 010 2SA 002 014 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and fight before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. 010 2SA 002 015 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, who pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 010 2SA 002 016 And they caught every one his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his opponent’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 010 2SA 002 017 And there was a very fierce battle that day; and Abner was smitten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. 010 2SA 002 018 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe. 010 2SA 002 019 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner. 010 2SA 002 020 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am. 010 2SA 002 021 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take to thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. 010 2SA 002 022 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother? 010 2SA 002 023 But he refused to turn aside: therefore Abner with the blunt end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still. 010 2SA 002 024 Joab also and Abishai pursued Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon. 010 2SA 002 025 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill. 010 2SA 002 026 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before thou wilt bid the people return from following their brethren? 010 2SA 002 027 And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother. 010 2SA 002 028 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 010 2SA 002 029 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. 010 2SA 002 030 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel. 010 2SA 002 031 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and sixty men died. 010 2SA 002 032 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day. 010 2SA 003 001 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul became weaker and weaker. 010 2SA 003 002 And to David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 010 2SA 003 003 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; 010 2SA 003 004 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 010 2SA 003 005 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 010 2SA 003 006 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul. 010 2SA 003 007 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Why hast thou gone in to my father’s concubine? 010 2SA 003 008 Then was Abner very angry for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head, who against Judah do show kindness this day to the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman? 010 2SA 003 009 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him; 010 2SA 003 010 To pass on the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba. 010 2SA 003 011 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him. 010 2SA 003 012 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel to thee. 010 2SA 003 013 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou shalt first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face. 010 2SA 003 014 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul’s son, saying, Deliver to me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 010 2SA 003 015 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish. 010 2SA 003 016 And her husband went with her weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned. 010 2SA 003 017 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you: 010 2SA 003 018 Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and from the hand of all their enemies. 010 2SA 003 019 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin. 010 2SA 003 020 So Abner came to David in Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast. 010 2SA 003 021 And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace. 010 2SA 003 022 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 010 2SA 003 023 When Joab and all the host that was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he hath gone in peace. 010 2SA 003 024 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came to thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone? 010 2SA 003 025 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest. 010 2SA 003 026 And when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not. 010 2SA 003 027 And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother. 010 2SA 003 028 And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner: 010 2SA 003 029 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house; and let there never cease from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. 010 2SA 003 030 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 010 2SA 003 031 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier. 010 2SA 003 032 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept. 010 2SA 003 033 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth? 010 2SA 003 034 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him. 010 2SA 003 035 And when all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day, David swore, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or any thing else, till the sun is down. 010 2SA 003 036 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatever the king did pleased all the people. 010 2SA 003 037 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. 010 2SA 003 038 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there hath a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? 010 2SA 003 039 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness. 010 2SA 004 001 And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled. 010 2SA 004 002 And Saul’s son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin: 010 2SA 004 003 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.) 010 2SA 004 004 And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth. 010 2SA 004 005 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. 010 2SA 004 006 And they came there into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 010 2SA 004 007 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went away through the plain all night. 010 2SA 004 008 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. 010 2SA 004 009 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity, 010 2SA 004 010 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings: 010 2SA 004 011 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth? 010 2SA 004 012 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. 010 2SA 005 001 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 010 2SA 005 002 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel. 010 2SA 005 003 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel. 010 2SA 005 004 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 010 2SA 005 005 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah. 010 2SA 005 006 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David, saying, Except thou shalt take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in there. 010 2SA 005 007 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David. 010 2SA 005 008 And David said on that day, Whoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated by David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Therefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 010 2SA 005 009 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built around from Millo and inward. 010 2SA 005 010 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him. 010 2SA 005 011 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house. 010 2SA 005 012 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake. 010 2SA 005 013 And David took more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. 010 2SA 005 014 And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 010 2SA 005 015 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 010 2SA 005 016 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. 010 2SA 005 017 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold. 010 2SA 005 018 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 010 2SA 005 019 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to David, Go up: for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 010 2SA 005 020 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon my enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim. 010 2SA 005 021 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them. 010 2SA 005 022 And the Philistines came yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 010 2SA 005 023 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but make a circuit behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 010 2SA 005 024 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. 010 2SA 005 025 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gazer. 010 2SA 006 001 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 010 2SA 006 002 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim. 010 2SA 006 003 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 010 2SA 006 004 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. 010 2SA 006 005 And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals. 010 2SA 006 006 And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. 010 2SA 006 007 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. 010 2SA 006 008 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth in anger against Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day. 010 2SA 006 009 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me? 010 2SA 006 010 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD to him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 010 2SA 006 011 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household. 010 2SA 006 012 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth to him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness. 010 2SA 006 013 And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. 010 2SA 006 014 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 010 2SA 006 015 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 010 2SA 006 016 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. 010 2SA 006 017 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, inside the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. 010 2SA 006 018 And as soon as David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. 010 2SA 006 019 And he distributed among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house. 010 2SA 006 020 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the foolish fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 010 2SA 006 021 And David said to Michal, It was before the LORD, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD. 010 2SA 006 022 And I will yet be more contemptible than this, and will be base in my own sight: and by the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, by them shall I be had in honour. 010 2SA 006 023 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death. 010 2SA 007 001 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest on every side from all his enemies; 010 2SA 007 002 That the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. 010 2SA 007 003 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for the LORD is with thee. 010 2SA 007 004 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying, 010 2SA 007 005 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 010 2SA 007 006 Though I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. 010 2SA 007 007 In all the places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel have I spoken a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why do ye not build me an house of cedar? 010 2SA 007 008 Now therefore so shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: 010 2SA 007 009 And I was with thee wherever thou wentest, and have cut off all thy enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like the name of the great men that are in the earth. 010 2SA 007 010 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as in times past, 010 2SA 007 011 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thy enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house. 010 2SA 007 012 And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall proceed out of thy own body, and I will establish his kingdom. 010 2SA 007 013 He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 010 2SA 007 014 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he shall commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 010 2SA 007 015 But my mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. 010 2SA 007 016 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 010 2SA 007 017 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David. 010 2SA 007 018 Then king David went in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? 010 2SA 007 019 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD? 010 2SA 007 020 And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant. 010 2SA 007 021 For thy word’s sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them. 010 2SA 007 022 Therefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 010 2SA 007 023 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, whom thou didst redeem to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? 010 2SA 007 024 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people to thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. 010 2SA 007 025 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 010 2SA 007 026 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. 010 2SA 007 027 For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee. 010 2SA 007 028 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness to thy servant: 010 2SA 007 029 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. 010 2SA 008 001 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines. 010 2SA 008 002 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines he measured to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts. 010 2SA 008 003 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates. 010 2SA 008 004 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. 010 2SA 008 005 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 010 2SA 008 006 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went. 010 2SA 008 007 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 008 008 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took very much brass. 010 2SA 008 009 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, 010 2SA 008 010 Then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass: 010 2SA 008 011 Which also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; 010 2SA 008 012 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 010 2SA 008 013 And David made him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. 010 2SA 008 014 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went. 010 2SA 008 015 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people. 010 2SA 008 016 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 010 2SA 008 017 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; 010 2SA 008 018 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers. 010 2SA 009 001 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake? 010 2SA 009 002 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he. 010 2SA 009 003 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, who is lame in his feet. 010 2SA 009 004 And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar. 010 2SA 009 005 Then king David sent, and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. 010 2SA 009 006 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! 010 2SA 009 007 And David said to him, Fear not: for I will surely show thee kindness for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. 010 2SA 009 008 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am? 010 2SA 009 009 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, I have given to thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house. 010 2SA 009 010 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 010 2SA 009 011 Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons. 010 2SA 009 012 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth. 010 2SA 009 013 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king’s table; and was lame in both his feet. 010 2SA 010 001 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 010 2SA 010 002 Then said David, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 010 2SA 010 003 And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? hath not David rather sent his servants to thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? 010 2SA 010 004 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. 010 2SA 010 005 When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and then return. 010 2SA 010 006 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men. 010 2SA 010 007 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 010 2SA 010 008 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. 010 2SA 010 009 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians: 010 2SA 010 010 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon. 010 2SA 010 011 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. 010 2SA 010 012 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good. 010 2SA 010 013 And Joab and the people that were with him, drew near, to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. 010 2SA 010 014 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 010 015 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. 010 2SA 010 016 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 010 2SA 010 017 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him. 010 2SA 010 018 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there. 010 2SA 010 019 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more. 010 2SA 011 001 And it came to pass, after the year had ended, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and destroyed Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. 010 2SA 011 002 And it came to pass in an evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 010 2SA 011 003 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? 010 2SA 011 004 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned to her house. 010 2SA 011 005 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 010 2SA 011 006 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 010 2SA 011 007 And when Uriah had come to him, David enquired of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered. 010 2SA 011 008 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a present from the king. 010 2SA 011 009 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 010 2SA 011 010 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down to his house, David said to Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down to thy house? 010 2SA 011 011 And Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 010 2SA 011 012 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the next. 010 2SA 011 013 And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk: and at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 010 2SA 011 014 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 010 2SA 011 015 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the front line of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. 010 2SA 011 016 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that valiant men were. 010 2SA 011 017 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. 010 2SA 011 018 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; 010 2SA 011 019 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished telling the matters of the war to the king, 010 2SA 011 020 And if the king’s wrath shall rise, and he shall say to thee, Why approached ye so near to the city for the fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall? 010 2SA 011 021 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye near the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 010 2SA 011 022 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for. 010 2SA 011 023 And the messenger said to David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate. 010 2SA 011 024 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 010 2SA 011 025 Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him. 010 2SA 011 026 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 010 2SA 011 027 And when the mourning was past, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. 010 2SA 012 001 And the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 010 2SA 012 002 The rich man had very many flocks and herds: 010 2SA 012 003 But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it fed of his own food, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter. 010 2SA 012 004 And there came a traveller to the rich man, and he was not willing to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to prepare for the wayfaring man that had come to him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared it for the man that had come to him. 010 2SA 012 005 And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: 010 2SA 012 006 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 010 2SA 012 007 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul; 010 2SA 012 008 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given to thee such and such things. 010 2SA 012 009 Why hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 010 2SA 012 010 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 010 2SA 012 011 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes, and give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 010 2SA 012 012 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 010 2SA 012 013 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 010 2SA 012 014 But, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to thee shall surely die. 010 2SA 012 015 And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick. 010 2SA 012 016 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 010 2SA 012 017 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 010 2SA 012 018 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how will he then be grieved, if we tell him that the child is dead? 010 2SA 012 019 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. 010 2SA 012 020 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set food before him, and he ate. 010 2SA 012 021 Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while he was alive; but after the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 010 2SA 012 022 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 010 2SA 012 023 But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. 010 2SA 012 024 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him. 010 2SA 012 025 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. 010 2SA 012 026 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 010 2SA 012 027 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 010 2SA 012 028 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name. 010 2SA 012 029 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 010 2SA 012 030 And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. 010 2SA 012 031 And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 013 001 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 010 2SA 013 002 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. 010 2SA 013 003 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. 010 2SA 013 004 And he said to him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, pining from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. 010 2SA 013 005 And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and pretend that thou art sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. 010 2SA 013 006 So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make for me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand. 010 2SA 013 007 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and prepare a meal for him. 010 2SA 013 008 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 010 2SA 013 009 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Send out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. 010 2SA 013 010 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. 010 2SA 013 011 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister. 010 2SA 013 012 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. 010 2SA 013 013 And I, where shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. 010 2SA 013 014 However he would not hearken to her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. 010 2SA 013 015 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone. 010 2SA 013 016 And she said to him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her. 010 2SA 013 017 Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. 010 2SA 013 018 And she had a garment of many colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 010 2SA 013 019 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of many colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. 010 2SA 013 020 And Absalom her brother said to her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house. 010 2SA 013 021 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry. 010 2SA 013 022 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. 010 2SA 013 023 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 010 2SA 013 024 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. 010 2SA 013 025 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him: yet he would not go, but blessed him. 010 2SA 013 026 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee? 010 2SA 013 027 But Absalom pressed him, that he should let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. 010 2SA 013 028 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have I not commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. 010 2SA 013 029 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man rode upon his mule, and fled. 010 2SA 013 030 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the report came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left. 010 2SA 013 031 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn. 010 2SA 013 032 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. 010 2SA 013 033 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead. 010 2SA 013 034 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came many people by the way of the hill side behind him. 010 2SA 013 035 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. 010 2SA 013 036 And it came to pass, as soon as he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept exceedingly. 010 2SA 013 037 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 010 2SA 013 038 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. 010 2SA 013 039 And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 010 2SA 014 001 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom. 010 2SA 014 002 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, pretend to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead: 010 2SA 014 003 And come to the king, and speak in this manner to him. So Joab put the words in her mouth. 010 2SA 014 004 And when the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king. 010 2SA 014 005 And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead. 010 2SA 014 006 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him. 010 2SA 014 007 And, behold, the whole family hath risen against thy handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth. 010 2SA 014 008 And the king said to the woman, Go to thy house, and I will issue an order concerning thee. 010 2SA 014 009 And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house: and the king and his throne be guiltless. 010 2SA 014 010 And the king said, Whoever saith any thing to thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. 010 2SA 014 011 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not permit the avenger of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 010 2SA 014 012 Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on. 010 2SA 014 013 And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one who is faulty, in that the king doth not bring home again his banished. 010 2SA 014 014 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not driven out from him. 010 2SA 014 015 Now therefore that I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 010 2SA 014 016 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid from the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 010 2SA 014 017 Then thy handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comforting: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee. 010 2SA 014 018 Then the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. 010 2SA 014 019 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from any thing that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he ordered me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid: 010 2SA 014 020 To bring about this change of affairs hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are on the earth. 010 2SA 014 021 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. 010 2SA 014 022 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant. 010 2SA 014 023 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 014 024 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face. 010 2SA 014 025 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 010 2SA 014 026 And when he cut the hair of his head, (for it was at every year’s end that he cut it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he cut it: ) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king’s weight. 010 2SA 014 027 And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. 010 2SA 014 028 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king’s face. 010 2SA 014 029 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, that he might send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. 010 2SA 014 030 Therefore he said to his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire. 010 2SA 014 031 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire? 010 2SA 014 032 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come here, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me had I been there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there is any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 010 2SA 014 033 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom. 010 2SA 015 001 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 010 2SA 015 002 And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is one of the tribes of Israel. 010 2SA 015 003 And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear thee. 010 2SA 015 004 Absalom said moreover, O that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice! 010 2SA 015 005 And it was so, that when any man came near to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 010 2SA 015 006 And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 010 2SA 015 007 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron. 010 2SA 015 008 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD. 010 2SA 015 009 And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron. 010 2SA 015 010 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. 010 2SA 015 011 And with Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, that were invited; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. 010 2SA 015 012 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom. 010 2SA 015 013 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 010 2SA 015 014 And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he should overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 010 2SA 015 015 And the king’s servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall appoint. 010 2SA 015 016 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house. 010 2SA 015 017 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. 010 2SA 015 018 And all his servants passed on by his side; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. 010 2SA 015 019 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Why goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. 010 2SA 015 020 Though thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go wherever I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee. 010 2SA 015 021 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be. 010 2SA 015 022 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him. 010 2SA 015 023 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. 010 2SA 015 024 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city. 010 2SA 015 025 And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation: 010 2SA 015 026 But if he shall thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good to him. 010 2SA 015 027 The king said also to Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 010 2SA 015 028 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until word shall come from you to inform me. 010 2SA 015 029 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there. 010 2SA 015 030 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went. 010 2SA 015 031 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. 010 2SA 015 032 And it came to pass, that when David had come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth upon his head: 010 2SA 015 033 To whom David said, If thou shalt pass on with me, then thou shalt be a burden to me: 010 2SA 015 034 But if thou shalt return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant to this time, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. 010 2SA 015 035 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that whatever thing thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 010 2SA 015 036 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok’s son, and Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send to me every thing that ye can hear. 010 2SA 015 037 So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. 010 2SA 016 001 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. 010 2SA 016 002 And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink. 010 2SA 016 003 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father. 010 2SA 016 004 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king. 010 2SA 016 005 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, from there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed continually as he came. 010 2SA 016 006 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 010 2SA 016 007 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou worthless fellow: 010 2SA 016 008 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. 010 2SA 016 009 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. 010 2SA 016 010 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said to him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why hast thou done so? 010 2SA 016 011 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him. 010 2SA 016 012 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing this day. 010 2SA 016 013 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side opposite him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. 010 2SA 016 014 And the king, and all the people that were with him, became weary, and refreshed themselves there. 010 2SA 016 015 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 010 2SA 016 016 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, God save the king, God save the king. 010 2SA 016 017 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? 010 2SA 016 018 And Hushai said to Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 010 2SA 016 019 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence. 010 2SA 016 020 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do. 010 2SA 016 021 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred by thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong. 010 2SA 016 022 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. 010 2SA 016 023 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. 010 2SA 017 001 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: 010 2SA 017 002 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only: 010 2SA 017 003 And I will bring back all the people to thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace. 010 2SA 017 004 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. 010 2SA 017 005 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. 010 2SA 017 006 And when Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou. 010 2SA 017 007 And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. 010 2SA 017 008 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. 010 2SA 017 009 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. 010 2SA 017 010 And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they who are with him are valiant men. 010 2SA 017 011 Therefore I counsel that all Israel should be generally gathered to thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou shouldest go to battle in thy own person. 010 2SA 017 012 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one. 010 2SA 017 013 Moreover, if he shall have entered into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there. 010 2SA 017 014 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom. 010 2SA 017 015 Then said Hushai to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled. 010 2SA 017 016 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. 010 2SA 017 017 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a maidservant went and told them; and they went and told king David. 010 2SA 017 018 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; into which they descended. 010 2SA 017 019 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known. 010 2SA 017 020 And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 017 021 And it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came out of the well, and went and told king David, and said to David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you. 010 2SA 017 022 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there was left not one of them that had not gone over Jordan. 010 2SA 017 023 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, and arose, and went home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 010 2SA 017 024 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 010 2SA 017 025 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man’s son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother. 010 2SA 017 026 So Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead. 010 2SA 017 027 And it came to pass, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 010 2SA 017 028 Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted grain, and beans, and lentiles, and roasted seeds, 010 2SA 017 029 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness. 010 2SA 018 001 And David numbered the people that were with him, and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds. 010 2SA 018 002 And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. 010 2SA 018 003 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou shouldest help us out of the city. 010 2SA 018 004 And the king said to them, What seemeth to you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands. 010 2SA 018 005 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom. 010 2SA 018 006 So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim; 010 2SA 018 007 Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. 010 2SA 018 008 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. 010 2SA 018 009 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. 010 2SA 018 010 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak. 010 2SA 018 011 And Joab said to the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a belt. 010 2SA 018 012 And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. 010 2SA 018 013 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against my own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me. 010 2SA 018 014 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three spears in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. 010 2SA 018 015 And ten young men that bore Joab’s armour surrounded and smote Absalom, and slew him. 010 2SA 018 016 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel: for Joab restrained the people. 010 2SA 018 017 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. 010 2SA 018 018 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and built for himself a pillar, which is in the king’s dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called to this day, Absalom’s place. 010 2SA 018 019 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and inform the king, how the LORD hath avenged himself of his enemies. 010 2SA 018 020 And Joab said to him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead. 010 2SA 018 021 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself to Joab, and ran. 010 2SA 018 022 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But however, let me also, I pray thee, run after Cushi. And Joab said, Why wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready? 010 2SA 018 023 But however, said he, let me run. And he said to him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outran Cushi. 010 2SA 018 024 And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone. 010 2SA 018 025 And the watchman called, and told the king. And the king said, If he is alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near. 010 2SA 018 026 And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called to the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings. 010 2SA 018 027 And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good news. 010 2SA 018 028 And Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, who hath delivered up the men that raised their hand against my lord the king. 010 2SA 018 029 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 010 2SA 018 030 And the king said to him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 010 2SA 018 031 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 010 2SA 018 032 And the king said to Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, May the enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee harm, be as that young man is. 010 2SA 018 033 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! O that I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! 010 2SA 019 001 And it was told to Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 010 2SA 019 002 And the victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard it said that day how the king was grieved for his son. 010 2SA 019 003 And the people withdrew by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 010 2SA 019 004 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son! 010 2SA 019 005 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, who this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines; 010 2SA 019 006 In that thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well. 010 2SA 019 007 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak kindly to thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou shalt not go forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse to thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now. 010 2SA 019 008 Then the king rose, and sat in the gate. And they told to all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent. 010 2SA 019 009 And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us from the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines; and now he hath fled out of the land for Absalom. 010 2SA 019 010 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back? 010 2SA 019 011 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house. 010 2SA 019 012 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: why then are ye the last to bring back the king? 010 2SA 019 013 And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the place of Joab. 010 2SA 019 014 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word to the king, Return thou, and all thy servants. 010 2SA 019 015 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan. 010 2SA 019 016 And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David. 010 2SA 019 017 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king. 010 2SA 019 018 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he came over Jordan; 010 2SA 019 019 And said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart. 010 2SA 019 020 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I have come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king. 010 2SA 019 021 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’S anointed? 010 2SA 019 022 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel? 010 2SA 019 023 Therefore the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him. 010 2SA 019 024 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither cared for his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace. 010 2SA 019 025 And it came to pass, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth? 010 2SA 019 026 And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me a donkey, that I may ride on it, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame. 010 2SA 019 027 And he hath slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thy eyes. 010 2SA 019 028 For all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that ate at thy own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more to the king? 010 2SA 019 029 And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 010 2SA 019 030 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king hath come again in peace to his own house. 010 2SA 019 031 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan. 010 2SA 019 032 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man. 010 2SA 019 033 And the king said to Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem. 010 2SA 019 034 And Barzillai said to the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? 010 2SA 019 035 I am this day eighty years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why then should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king? 010 2SA 019 036 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward? 010 2SA 019 037 Let thy servant, I pray thee, return again, that I may die in my own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to thee. 010 2SA 019 038 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to thee: and whatever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee. 010 2SA 019 039 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king had come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place. 010 2SA 019 040 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel. 010 2SA 019 041 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to him, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David’s men with him, over Jordan? 010 2SA 019 042 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift? 010 2SA 019 043 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel. 010 2SA 020 001 And there happened to be there a worthless fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel. 010 2SA 020 002 So every man of Israel withdrew from following David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah held fast to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 020 003 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood. 010 2SA 020 004 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present. 010 2SA 020 005 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him. 010 2SA 020 006 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us. 010 2SA 020 007 And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. 010 2SA 020 008 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a belt with a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out. 010 2SA 020 009 And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him. 010 2SA 020 010 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him in the fifth rib, and shed out his inward parts to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. 010 2SA 020 011 And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab. 010 2SA 020 012 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still. 010 2SA 020 013 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. 010 2SA 020 014 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him. 010 2SA 020 015 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down. 010 2SA 020 016 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come here, that I may speak with thee. 010 2SA 020 017 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear. 010 2SA 020 018 Then she spoke, saying, They were accustomed to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter. 010 2SA 020 019 I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD? 010 2SA 020 020 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy. 010 2SA 020 021 The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. 010 2SA 020 022 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king. 010 2SA 020 023 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites: 010 2SA 020 024 And Adoram was over the forced labour: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder: 010 2SA 020 025 And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 010 2SA 020 026 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler of David. 010 2SA 021 001 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. 010 2SA 021 002 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said to them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.) 010 2SA 021 003 Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and how shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? 010 2SA 021 004 And the Gibeonites said to him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. 010 2SA 021 005 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining within any border of Israel, 010 2SA 021 006 Let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD chose. And the king said, I will give them. 010 2SA 021 007 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 010 2SA 021 008 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: 010 2SA 021 009 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest. 010 2SA 021 010 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured on them from heaven, and allowed neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. 010 2SA 021 011 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 010 2SA 021 012 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, who had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa: 010 2SA 021 013 And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 010 2SA 021 014 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land. 010 2SA 021 015 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became faint. 010 2SA 021 016 And Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought of slaying David. 010 2SA 021 017 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not put out the light of Israel. 010 2SA 021 018 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the sons of the giant. 010 2SA 021 019 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 010 2SA 021 020 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. 010 2SA 021 021 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him. 010 2SA 021 022 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 010 2SA 022 001 And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: 010 2SA 022 002 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 010 2SA 022 003 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my preserver; thou savest me from violence. 010 2SA 022 004 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies. 010 2SA 022 005 When the waves of death surrounded me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; 010 2SA 022 006 The sorrows of hell surrounded me; the snares of death seized me; (Sheol h7585) 010 2SA 022 007 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears. 010 2SA 022 008 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry. 010 2SA 022 009 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 010 2SA 022 010 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. 010 2SA 022 011 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 010 2SA 022 012 And he made darkness pavilions around him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 010 2SA 022 013 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. 010 2SA 022 014 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice. 010 2SA 022 015 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and smote them. 010 2SA 022 016 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid open, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 010 2SA 022 017 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; 010 2SA 022 018 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 010 2SA 022 019 They fell upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my support. 010 2SA 022 020 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 010 2SA 022 021 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 010 2SA 022 022 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 010 2SA 022 023 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 010 2SA 022 024 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity. 010 2SA 022 025 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. 010 2SA 022 026 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. 010 2SA 022 027 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt contend. 010 2SA 022 028 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 010 2SA 022 029 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. 010 2SA 022 030 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 010 2SA 022 031 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a shield to all them that trust in him. 010 2SA 022 032 For who is God, except the LORD? and who is a rock, except our God? 010 2SA 022 033 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. 010 2SA 022 034 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places. 010 2SA 022 035 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms. 010 2SA 022 036 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. 010 2SA 022 037 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped. 010 2SA 022 038 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them. 010 2SA 022 039 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen under my feet. 010 2SA 022 040 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. 010 2SA 022 041 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 010 2SA 022 042 They looked, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he answered them not. 010 2SA 022 043 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, and spread them abroad. 010 2SA 022 044 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. 010 2SA 022 045 Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me. 010 2SA 022 046 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall come trembling out of their fortresses. 010 2SA 022 047 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. 010 2SA 022 048 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, 010 2SA 022 049 And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 010 2SA 022 050 Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy name. 010 2SA 022 051 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and he showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. 010 2SA 023 001 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, 010 2SA 023 002 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was on my tongue. 010 2SA 023 003 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. 010 2SA 023 004 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 010 2SA 023 005 Although my house is not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he maketh it not to grow. 010 2SA 023 006 But the worthless, all of them shall be as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: 010 2SA 023 007 But the man that shall touch them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. 010 2SA 023 008 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time. 010 2SA 023 009 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away: 010 2SA 023 010 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain. 010 2SA 023 011 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines. 010 2SA 023 012 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory. 010 2SA 023 013 And three of the thirty leaders went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 010 2SA 023 014 And David was then in a strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 010 2SA 023 015 And David longed, and said, O that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! 010 2SA 023 016 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD. 010 2SA 023 017 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. 010 2SA 023 018 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three. 010 2SA 023 019 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: yet he attained not to the first three. 010 2SA 023 020 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many deeds, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow: 010 2SA 023 021 And he slew an Egyptian, a handsome man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear. 010 2SA 023 022 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among three mighty men. 010 2SA 023 023 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard. 010 2SA 023 024 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 010 2SA 023 025 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 010 2SA 023 026 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 010 2SA 023 027 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 010 2SA 023 028 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 010 2SA 023 029 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, 010 2SA 023 030 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash, 010 2SA 023 031 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 010 2SA 023 032 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, 010 2SA 023 033 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, 010 2SA 023 034 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, 010 2SA 023 035 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 010 2SA 023 036 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 010 2SA 023 037 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah, 010 2SA 023 038 Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, 010 2SA 023 039 Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all. 010 2SA 024 001 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 010 2SA 024 002 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people. 010 2SA 024 003 And Joab said to the king, Now the LORD thy God add to the people, as many as they may be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing? 010 2SA 024 004 But the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel. 010 2SA 024 005 And they passed over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer: 010 2SA 024 006 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon, 010 2SA 024 007 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba. 010 2SA 024 008 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 010 2SA 024 009 And Joab presented the sum of the number of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men. 010 2SA 024 010 And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said to the LORD, I have sinned greatly in what I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 010 2SA 024 011 For when David had risen in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying, 010 2SA 024 012 Go and say to David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee. 010 2SA 024 013 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come upon thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now consider, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 010 2SA 024 014 And David said to Gad, I am in deep distress: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man. 010 2SA 024 015 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men. 010 2SA 024 016 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite. 010 2SA 024 017 And David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house. 010 2SA 024 018 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite. 010 2SA 024 019 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded. 010 2SA 024 020 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground. 010 2SA 024 021 And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people. 010 2SA 024 022 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good to him: behold, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood. 010 2SA 024 023 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, The LORD thy God accept thee. 010 2SA 024 024 And the king said to Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 010 2SA 024 025 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. # # BOOK 011 1KI 1 Kings 1 Kings 011 1KI 001 001 Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not get warm. 011 1KI 001 002 Therefore his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warm. 011 1KI 001 003 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the land of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 011 1KI 001 004 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. 011 1KI 001 005 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 011 1KI 001 006 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very handsome man; and his mother bore him after Absalom. 011 1KI 001 007 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him. 011 1KI 001 008 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah. 011 1KI 001 009 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants: 011 1KI 001 010 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 011 1KI 001 011 Therefore Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? 011 1KI 001 012 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 011 1KI 001 013 Go and enter in to king David, and say to him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? 011 1KI 001 014 Behold, while thou art yet talking there with the king, I will also come in after thee, and confirm thy words. 011 1KI 001 015 And Bathsheba went to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king. 011 1KI 001 016 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 011 1KI 001 017 And she said to him, My lord, thou didst swear by the LORD thy God to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne. 011 1KI 001 018 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not: 011 1KI 001 019 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited. 011 1KI 001 020 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 011 1KI 001 021 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders. 011 1KI 001 022 And, lo, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in. 011 1KI 001 023 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground. 011 1KI 001 024 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? 011 1KI 001 025 For he hath gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah. 011 1KI 001 026 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited. 011 1KI 001 027 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shown it to thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? 011 1KI 001 028 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king. 011 1KI 001 029 And the king swore, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 011 1KI 001 030 Even as I swore to thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day. 011 1KI 001 031 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. 011 1KI 001 032 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. 011 1KI 001 033 The king also said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon: 011 1KI 001 034 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. 011 1KI 001 035 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. 011 1KI 001 036 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too. 011 1KI 001 037 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. 011 1KI 001 038 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon. 011 1KI 001 039 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 011 1KI 001 040 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with the sound of them. 011 1KI 001 041 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar? 011 1KI 001 042 And while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings. 011 1KI 001 043 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king. 011 1KI 001 044 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king’s mule: 011 1KI 001 045 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they have come from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that ye have heard. 011 1KI 001 046 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. 011 1KI 001 047 And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed. 011 1KI 001 048 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it. 011 1KI 001 049 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and went every man his way. 011 1KI 001 050 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 011 1KI 001 051 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword. 011 1KI 001 052 And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die. 011 1KI 001 053 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house. 011 1KI 002 001 Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 011 1KI 002 002 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man; 011 1KI 002 003 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and wherever thou turnest thyself: 011 1KI 002 004 That the LORD may continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee ( said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 011 1KI 002 005 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 011 1KI 002 006 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his gray head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585) 011 1KI 002 007 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. 011 1KI 002 008 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword. 011 1KI 002 009 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do to him; but his gray head do thou bring down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585) 011 1KI 002 010 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 011 1KI 002 011 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 011 1KI 002 012 Then Solomon was seated upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly. 011 1KI 002 013 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 011 1KI 002 014 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say to thee. And she said, Say on. 011 1KI 002 015 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: but the kingdom is turned about, and hath become my brother’s: for it was his from the LORD. 011 1KI 002 016 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said to him, Say on. 011 1KI 002 017 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king, (for he will not say to thee no, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife. 011 1KI 002 018 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee to the king. 011 1KI 002 019 Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand. 011 1KI 002 020 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, deny me not. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not deny thee. 011 1KI 002 021 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother for a wife. 011 1KI 002 022 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 011 1KI 002 023 Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life. 011 1KI 002 024 Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. 011 1KI 002 025 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died. 011 1KI 002 026 And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Depart to Anathoth, to thy own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted. 011 1KI 002 027 So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 011 1KI 002 028 Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 011 1KI 002 029 And it was told to king Solomon that Joab had fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him. 011 1KI 002 030 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 011 1KI 002 031 And the king said to him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. 011 1KI 002 032 And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing of it, that is, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. 011 1KI 002 033 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD. 011 1KI 002 034 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. 011 1KI 002 035 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his stead over the army: and Zadok the priest the king put in the stead of Abiathar. 011 1KI 002 036 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth from there to any place whatever. 011 1KI 002 037 For it shall be, that on the day thou shalt go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thy own head. 011 1KI 002 038 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 011 1KI 002 039 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath. 011 1KI 002 040 And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath. 011 1KI 002 041 And it was told to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned. 011 1KI 002 042 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protest to thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest any where abroad, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst to me, The word that I have heard is good. 011 1KI 002 043 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with? 011 1KI 002 044 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is aware of, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thy own head; 011 1KI 002 045 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever. 011 1KI 002 046 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon. 011 1KI 003 001 And Solomon allied himself with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem on every side. 011 1KI 003 002 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built to the name of the LORD, until those days. 011 1KI 003 003 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. 011 1KI 003 004 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. 011 1KI 003 005 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 011 1KI 003 006 And Solomon said, Thou hast shown to thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 011 1KI 003 007 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. 011 1KI 003 008 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 011 1KI 003 009 Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 011 1KI 003 010 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 011 1KI 003 011 And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thy enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 011 1KI 003 012 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like thee. 011 1KI 003 013 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like thee all thy days. 011 1KI 003 014 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 011 1KI 003 015 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. 011 1KI 003 016 Then came there two women, that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him. 011 1KI 003 017 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. 011 1KI 003 018 And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, except us two in the house. 011 1KI 003 019 And this woman’s child died in the night; because she lay on him. 011 1KI 003 020 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 011 1KI 003 021 And when I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead: but when I had looked at him in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I bore. 011 1KI 003 022 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king. 011 1KI 003 023 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. 011 1KI 003 024 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 011 1KI 003 025 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. 011 1KI 003 026 Then spoke the woman whose the living child was to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means slay him. But the other said, Let he be neither mine nor thine, but divide him. 011 1KI 003 027 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and by no means slay him: she is his mother. 011 1KI 003 028 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment. 011 1KI 004 001 So king Solomon was king over all Israel. 011 1KI 004 002 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, 011 1KI 004 003 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. 011 1KI 004 004 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 011 1KI 004 005 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king’s friend: 011 1KI 004 006 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the forced labour. 011 1KI 004 007 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision. 011 1KI 004 008 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: 011 1KI 004 009 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan: 011 1KI 004 010 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher: 011 1KI 004 011 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; who had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for a wife: 011 1KI 004 012 Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even to the place that is beyond Jokneam: 011 1KI 004 013 The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brasen bars: 011 1KI 004 014 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim: 011 1KI 004 015 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon for a wife: 011 1KI 004 016 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: 011 1KI 004 017 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 011 1KI 004 018 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 011 1KI 004 019 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer who was in the land. 011 1KI 004 020 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. 011 1KI 004 021 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. 011 1KI 004 022 And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal, 011 1KI 004 023 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowls. 011 1KI 004 024 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side of the river: and he had peace on all sides around him. 011 1KI 004 025 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. 011 1KI 004 026 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 011 1KI 004 027 And those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing. 011 1KI 004 028 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries they brought to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge. 011 1KI 004 029 And God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 011 1KI 004 030 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 011 1KI 004 031 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. 011 1KI 004 032 And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. 011 1KI 004 033 And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 011 1KI 004 034 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom. 011 1KI 005 001 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the stead of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David. 011 1KI 005 002 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 011 1KI 005 003 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house to the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet. 011 1KI 005 004 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. 011 1KI 005 005 And, behold, I purpose to build an house to the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build an house to my name. 011 1KI 005 006 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and to thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that hast skill to hew timber like the Sidonians. 011 1KI 005 007 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, who hath given to David a wise son over this great people. 011 1KI 005 008 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will perform all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 011 1KI 005 009 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats to the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household. 011 1KI 005 010 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire. 011 1KI 005 011 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. 011 1KI 005 012 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. 011 1KI 005 013 And king Solomon raised forced labour out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 011 1KI 005 014 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the forced labour. 011 1KI 005 015 And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountains; 011 1KI 005 016 Besides the chief of Solomon’s officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 011 1KI 005 017 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 011 1KI 005 018 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house. 011 1KI 006 001 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. 011 1KI 006 002 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length of it was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 011 1KI 006 003 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length of it, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth of it before the house. 011 1KI 006 004 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights. 011 1KI 006 005 And against the wall of the house he built chambers all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary: and he made chambers all around: 011 1KI 006 006 The lowest chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for around the outside in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house. 011 1KI 006 007 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought there: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. 011 1KI 006 008 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third. 011 1KI 006 009 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar. 011 1KI 006 010 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar. 011 1KI 006 011 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying, 011 1KI 006 012 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spoke to David thy father: 011 1KI 006 013 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. 011 1KI 006 014 So Solomon built the house, and finished it. 011 1KI 006 015 And he built the walls on the inside of the house with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the panelling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. 011 1KI 006 016 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it on the inside, even for the inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place. 011 1KI 006 017 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long. 011 1KI 006 018 And the cedar on the inside of the house was carved with gourds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. 011 1KI 006 019 And the inner sanctuary he prepared in the inside of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 011 1KI 006 020 And the inner sanctuary in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar. 011 1KI 006 021 So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the inner sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold. 011 1KI 006 022 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold. 011 1KI 006 023 And within the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high. 011 1KI 006 024 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the outmost part of the one wing to the outmost part of the other were ten cubits. 011 1KI 006 025 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size. 011 1KI 006 026 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub. 011 1KI 006 027 And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house. 011 1KI 006 028 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold. 011 1KI 006 029 And he carved all the walls around the house with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without. 011 1KI 006 030 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without. 011 1KI 006 031 And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall. 011 1KI 006 032 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees. 011 1KI 006 033 So also he made for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall. 011 1KI 006 034 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. 011 1KI 006 035 And he carved on it cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work. 011 1KI 006 036 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams. 011 1KI 006 037 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif: 011 1KI 006 038 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it. 011 1KI 007 001 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 011 1KI 007 002 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was an hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 011 1KI 007 003 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. 011 1KI 007 004 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three rows. 011 1KI 007 005 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three rows. 011 1KI 007 006 And he made a porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beams were before them. 011 1KI 007 007 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. 011 1KI 007 008 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married, like this porch. 011 1KI 007 009 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 011 1KI 007 010 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 011 1KI 007 011 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewn stones, and cedars. 011 1KI 007 012 And the great court all around was with three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house. 011 1KI 007 013 And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre. 011 1KI 007 014 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and skill in working all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 011 1KI 007 015 For he cast two pillars of brass, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits did surround each of them. 011 1KI 007 016 And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits: 011 1KI 007 017 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital. 011 1KI 007 018 And he made the pillars, and two rows all around upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so he did for the other capital. 011 1KI 007 019 And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 011 1KI 007 020 And the capitals upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, close to the enlargement which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows all around upon the other capital. 011 1KI 007 021 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz. 011 1KI 007 022 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 011 1KI 007 023 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round in form, and its height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits surrounded it. 011 1KI 007 024 And under the brim of it all around there were gourds surrounding it, ten in a cubit, all the way around the sea: the gourds were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 011 1KI 007 025 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 011 1KI 007 026 And it was an hand breadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. 011 1KI 007 027 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it. 011 1KI 007 028 And the work of the bases was in this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the frames: 011 1KI 007 029 And on the borders that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and upon the frames there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 011 1KI 007 030 And every base had four brasen wheels, and axles of brass: and its four corners had supports: under the laver were molten supports at the side of every addition. 011 1KI 007 031 And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: but the mouth of it was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were carvings with their borders, foursquare, not round. 011 1KI 007 032 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axles of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 011 1KI 007 033 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their hubs, and their rims, and their spokes, were all cast. 011 1KI 007 034 And there were four supports to the four corners of one base: and the supports were of the very base itself. 011 1KI 007 035 And in the top of the base it was perfectly round at a height of half a cubit: and on the top of the base its frames and its borders were of the same. 011 1KI 007 036 For on the plates of its frames, and on its borders, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions all around. 011 1KI 007 037 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 011 1KI 007 038 Then he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 011 1KI 007 039 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. 011 1KI 007 040 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he made for king Solomon for the house of the LORD: 011 1KI 007 041 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; 011 1KI 007 042 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars; 011 1KI 007 043 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 011 1KI 007 044 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 011 1KI 007 045 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass. 011 1KI 007 046 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. 011 1KI 007 047 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were very many: neither was the weight of the brass known. 011 1KI 007 048 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which was the showbread, 011 1KI 007 049 And the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 011 1KI 007 050 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple. 011 1KI 007 051 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, he placed among the treasures of the house of the LORD. 011 1KI 008 001 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 011 1KI 008 002 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 011 1KI 008 003 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. 011 1KI 008 004 And they brought the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring. 011 1KI 008 005 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude. 011 1KI 008 006 And the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim. 011 1KI 008 007 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staffs above. 011 1KI 008 008 And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy place before the inner sanctuary, and they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day. 011 1KI 008 009 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 011 1KI 008 010 And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, 011 1KI 008 011 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD. 011 1KI 008 012 Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 011 1KI 008 013 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever. 011 1KI 008 014 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel were standing; ) 011 1KI 008 015 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 011 1KI 008 016 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be in it; but I chose David to be over my people Israel. 011 1KI 008 017 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 011 1KI 008 018 And the LORD said to David my father, Though it was in thy heart to build an house to my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart. 011 1KI 008 019 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house to my name. 011 1KI 008 020 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the stead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 011 1KI 008 021 And I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them from the land of Egypt. 011 1KI 008 022 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven: 011 1KI 008 023 And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart: 011 1KI 008 024 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day. 011 1KI 008 025 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me. 011 1KI 008 026 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou didst speak to thy servant David my father. 011 1KI 008 027 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built? 011 1KI 008 028 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day: 011 1KI 008 029 That thy eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. 011 1KI 008 030 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive. 011 1KI 008 031 If any man shall trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar in this house: 011 1KI 008 032 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. 011 1KI 008 033 When thy people Israel shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication to thee in this house: 011 1KI 008 034 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to their fathers. 011 1KI 008 035 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: 011 1KI 008 036 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou mayest teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. 011 1KI 008 037 If there shall be in the land famine, if there shall be pestilence, blighting, mildew, locust, or if there shall be caterpiller; if their enemy shall besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there shall be; 011 1KI 008 038 Whatever prayer and supplication shall be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: 011 1KI 008 039 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men; ) 011 1KI 008 040 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers. 011 1KI 008 041 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name’s sake; 011 1KI 008 042 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy outstretched arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house; 011 1KI 008 043 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name. 011 1KI 008 044 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever thou shalt send them, and shall pray to the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name: 011 1KI 008 045 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 011 1KI 008 046 If they shall sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near; 011 1KI 008 047 Yet if they shall take it to their hearts in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication to thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; 011 1KI 008 048 And so return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name: 011 1KI 008 049 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, 011 1KI 008 050 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them: 011 1KI 008 051 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: 011 1KI 008 052 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them in all their supplications to thee. 011 1KI 008 053 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD. 011 1KI 008 054 And it was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven. 011 1KI 008 055 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 011 1KI 008 056 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. 011 1KI 008 057 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: 011 1KI 008 058 That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. 011 1KI 008 059 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require: 011 1KI 008 060 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. 011 1KI 008 061 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. 011 1KI 008 062 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD. 011 1KI 008 063 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD. 011 1KI 008 064 The same day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings. 011 1KI 008 065 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days. 011 1KI 008 066 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people. 011 1KI 009 001 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to perform, 011 1KI 009 002 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 011 1KI 009 003 And the LORD said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 011 1KI 009 004 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 011 1KI 009 005 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 011 1KI 009 006 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: 011 1KI 009 007 Then will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: 011 1KI 009 008 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house? 011 1KI 009 009 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers from the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil. 011 1KI 009 010 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, 011 1KI 009 011 ( Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 011 1KI 009 012 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. 011 1KI 009 013 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day. 011 1KI 009 014 And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold. 011 1KI 009 015 And this is the reason of the forced labour which king Solomon raised; to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 011 1KI 009 016 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present to his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 011 1KI 009 017 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the lower, 011 1KI 009 018 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 011 1KI 009 019 And all the store cities that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 011 1KI 009 020 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel, 011 1KI 009 021 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon raise forced labour to this day. 011 1KI 009 022 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no slaves: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen. 011 1KI 009 023 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work. 011 1KI 009 024 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then he built Millo. 011 1KI 009 025 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built to the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house. 011 1KI 009 026 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. 011 1KI 009 027 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 011 1KI 009 028 And they came to Ophir, and obtained from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon. 011 1KI 010 001 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to try him with hard questions. 011 1KI 010 002 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart. 011 1KI 010 003 And Solomon answered all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. 011 1KI 010 004 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built, 011 1KI 010 005 And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. 011 1KI 010 006 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. 011 1KI 010 007 However I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard. 011 1KI 010 008 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. 011 1KI 010 009 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore he made thee king, to do judgment and justice. 011 1KI 010 010 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great quantity, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 011 1KI 010 011 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. 011 1KI 010 012 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor have they been seen to this day. 011 1KI 010 013 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. 011 1KI 010 014 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold, 011 1KI 010 015 Besides what he had of the merchants, and of the trade of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. 011 1KI 010 016 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. 011 1KI 010 017 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 011 1KI 010 018 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 011 1KI 010 019 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were arms on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms. 011 1KI 010 020 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. 011 1KI 010 021 And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was not considered as any thing in the days of Solomon. 011 1KI 010 022 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 011 1KI 010 023 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 011 1KI 010 024 And all the earth consulted Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 011 1KI 010 025 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 011 1KI 010 026 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem. 011 1KI 010 027 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 011 1KI 010 028 And Solomon had horses brought from Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 011 1KI 010 029 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means. 011 1KI 011 001 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, in addition to the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 011 1KI 011 002 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon held fast to these in love. 011 1KI 011 003 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 011 1KI 011 004 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 011 1KI 011 005 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 011 1KI 011 006 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 011 1KI 011 007 Then Solomon built an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 011 1KI 011 008 And likewise did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods. 011 1KI 011 009 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, 011 1KI 011 010 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. 011 1KI 011 011 Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom away from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 011 1KI 011 012 However in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 011 1KI 011 013 Yet I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen. 011 1KI 011 014 And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom. 011 1KI 011 015 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom; 011 1KI 011 016 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom: ) 011 1KI 011 017 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. 011 1KI 011 018 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them from Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him an house, and appointed him food, and gave him land. 011 1KI 011 019 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him for a wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 011 1KI 011 020 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh. 011 1KI 011 021 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country. 011 1KI 011 022 Then Pharaoh said to him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thy own country? And he answered, Nothing: only let me go. 011 1KI 011 023 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: 011 1KI 011 024 And he gathered men to him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt in it, and reigned in Damascus. 011 1KI 011 025 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 011 1KI 011 026 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s servant, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he raised his hand against the king. 011 1KI 011 027 And this was the cause why he raised his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. 011 1KI 011 028 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. 011 1KI 011 029 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field: 011 1KI 011 030 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces: 011 1KI 011 031 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: 011 1KI 011 032 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel: ) 011 1KI 011 033 Because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. 011 1KI 011 034 Yet I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes: 011 1KI 011 035 But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it to thee, even ten tribes. 011 1KI 011 036 And to his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for me to put my name there. 011 1KI 011 037 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 011 1KI 011 038 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken to all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to thee. 011 1KI 011 039 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 011 1KI 011 040 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 011 1KI 011 041 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 011 1KI 011 042 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 011 1KI 011 043 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 012 001 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king. 011 1KI 012 002 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; ) 011 1KI 012 003 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 011 1KI 012 004 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 011 1KI 012 005 And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 011 1KI 012 006 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people? 011 1KI 012 007 And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant to this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever. 011 1KI 012 008 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that had grown up with him, and who stood before him: 011 1KI 012 009 And he said to them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter? 011 1KI 012 010 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak to this people who spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter to us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins. 011 1KI 012 011 And now though my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 011 1KI 012 012 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day. 011 1KI 012 013 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave him; 011 1KI 012 014 And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 011 1KI 012 015 Therefore the king hearkened not to the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 011 1KI 012 016 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thy own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents. 011 1KI 012 017 But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 011 1KI 012 018 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the forced labour; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to enter his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 011 1KI 012 019 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day. 011 1KI 012 020 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come again, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only. 011 1KI 012 021 And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 011 1KI 012 022 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 011 1KI 012 023 Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 011 1KI 012 024 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD. 011 1KI 012 025 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt in it; and went out from there, and built Penuel. 011 1KI 012 026 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: 011 1KI 012 027 If this people go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah. 011 1KI 012 028 Upon which the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt. 011 1KI 012 029 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he placed in Dan. 011 1KI 012 030 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even to Dan. 011 1KI 012 031 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. 011 1KI 012 032 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. 011 1KI 012 033 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast to the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. 011 1KI 013 001 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. 011 1KI 013 002 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee. 011 1KI 013 003 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be split apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. 011 1KI 013 004 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it to him again. 011 1KI 013 005 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD. 011 1KI 013 006 And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before. 011 1KI 013 007 And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 011 1KI 013 008 And the man of God said to the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: 011 1KI 013 009 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. 011 1KI 013 010 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. 011 1KI 013 011 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken to the king, them they told also to their father. 011 1KI 013 012 And their father said to them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came from Judah. 011 1KI 013 013 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the donkey. So they saddled him the donkey: and he rode on it, 011 1KI 013 014 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. 011 1KI 013 015 Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 011 1KI 013 016 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: 011 1KI 013 017 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. 011 1KI 013 018 He said to him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him. 011 1KI 013 019 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. 011 1KI 013 020 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet that brought him back: 011 1KI 013 021 And he cried to the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, 011 1KI 013 022 But hast returned, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of which the LORD said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy body shall not come to the sepulchre of thy fathers. 011 1KI 013 023 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, that is, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 011 1KI 013 024 And when he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it, the lion also stood by the body. 011 1KI 013 025 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. 011 1KI 013 026 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him to the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him. 011 1KI 013 027 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the donkey. And they saddled him. 011 1KI 013 028 And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey. 011 1KI 013 029 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the donkey, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. 011 1KI 013 030 And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! 011 1KI 013 031 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones: 011 1KI 013 032 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 011 1KI 013 033 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. 011 1KI 013 034 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from the face of the earth. 011 1KI 014 001 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. 011 1KI 014 002 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou mayest not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me that I should be king over this people. 011 1KI 014 003 And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child. 011 1KI 014 004 And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were dim by reason of his age. 011 1KI 014 005 And the LORD said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say to her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall pretend to be another woman. 011 1KI 014 006 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why pretendest thou to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. 011 1KI 014 007 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 011 1KI 014 008 And tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes; 011 1KI 014 009 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: 011 1KI 014 010 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it is all gone. 011 1KI 014 011 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it. 011 1KI 014 012 Arise thou therefore, depart to thy own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 011 1KI 014 013 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 011 1KI 014 014 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now. 011 1KI 014 015 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their idols, provoking the LORD to anger. 011 1KI 014 016 And he shall give up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned, and who made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 014 017 And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died; 011 1KI 014 018 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 011 1KI 014 019 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 011 1KI 014 020 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 014 021 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 011 1KI 014 022 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. 011 1KI 014 023 For they also built for themselves high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 011 1KI 014 024 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 011 1KI 014 025 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: 011 1KI 014 026 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 011 1KI 014 027 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house. 011 1KI 014 028 And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard chamber. 011 1KI 014 029 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 011 1KI 014 030 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 011 1KI 014 031 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 015 001 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. 011 1KI 015 002 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 011 1KI 015 003 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father. 011 1KI 015 004 Nevertheless for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 011 1KI 015 005 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 011 1KI 015 006 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 011 1KI 015 007 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 011 1KI 015 008 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 015 009 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 011 1KI 015 010 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 011 1KI 015 011 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 011 1KI 015 012 And he banished the sodomites from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 011 1KI 015 013 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. 011 1KI 015 014 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. 011 1KI 015 015 And he brought the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels. 011 1KI 015 016 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 011 1KI 015 017 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 011 1KI 015 018 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 011 1KI 015 019 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent to thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 011 1KI 015 020 So Benhadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 011 1KI 015 021 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard of it, that he stopped building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 011 1KI 015 022 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built it; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 011 1KI 015 023 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 011 1KI 015 024 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 015 025 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. 011 1KI 015 026 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 015 027 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 011 1KI 015 028 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 015 029 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite: 011 1KI 015 030 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger. 011 1KI 015 031 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 011 1KI 015 032 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 011 1KI 015 033 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years. 011 1KI 015 034 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 016 001 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 011 1KI 016 002 Forasmuch as I exalted thee from the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins; 011 1KI 016 003 Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 011 1KI 016 004 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat. 011 1KI 016 005 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 011 1KI 016 006 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 016 007 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him. 011 1KI 016 008 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years. 011 1KI 016 009 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah. 011 1KI 016 010 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 016 011 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one male, neither of his kinsman, nor of his friends. 011 1KI 016 012 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, 011 1KI 016 013 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities. 011 1KI 016 014 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 011 1KI 016 015 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 011 1KI 016 016 And the people that were encamped heard it said, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp. 011 1KI 016 017 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 011 1KI 016 018 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died, 011 1KI 016 019 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. 011 1KI 016 020 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 011 1KI 016 021 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri. 011 1KI 016 022 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 011 1KI 016 023 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah. 011 1KI 016 024 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria. 011 1KI 016 025 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him. 011 1KI 016 026 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities. 011 1KI 016 027 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 011 1KI 016 028 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 016 029 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. 011 1KI 016 030 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 011 1KI 016 031 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took for a wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 011 1KI 016 032 And he built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 011 1KI 016 033 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 011 1KI 016 034 In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates of it in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun. 011 1KI 017 001 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 011 1KI 017 002 And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 011 1KI 017 003 Depart from here, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 011 1KI 017 004 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 011 1KI 017 005 So he went and did according to the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 011 1KI 017 006 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. 011 1KI 017 007 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 011 1KI 017 008 And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 011 1KI 017 009 Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 011 1KI 017 010 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 011 1KI 017 011 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. 011 1KI 017 012 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 011 1KI 017 013 And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it to me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son. 011 1KI 017 014 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not be used up, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. 011 1KI 017 015 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, ate many days. 011 1KI 017 016 And the barrel of meal was not used up, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah. 011 1KI 017 017 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so grievous, that there was no breath left in him. 011 1KI 017 018 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? 011 1KI 017 019 And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 011 1KI 017 020 And he cried to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? 011 1KI 017 021 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again. 011 1KI 017 022 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 011 1KI 017 023 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. 011 1KI 017 024 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth. 011 1KI 018 001 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 011 1KI 018 002 And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And there was a grievous famine in Samaria. 011 1KI 018 003 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 011 1KI 018 004 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 011 1KI 018 005 And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all brooks: perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 011 1KI 018 006 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 011 1KI 018 007 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 011 1KI 018 008 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 011 1KI 018 009 And he said, How have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 011 1KI 018 010 As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation nor kingdom, where my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 011 1KI 018 011 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 011 1KI 018 012 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I have gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth. 011 1KI 018 013 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD’S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 011 1KI 018 014 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. 011 1KI 018 015 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him to day. 011 1KI 018 016 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 011 1KI 018 017 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 011 1KI 018 018 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. 011 1KI 018 019 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezebel’s table. 011 1KI 018 020 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel. 011 1KI 018 021 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 011 1KI 018 022 Then said Elijah to the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 011 1KI 018 023 Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 011 1KI 018 024 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 011 1KI 018 025 And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bull for yourselves, and prepare it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 011 1KI 018 026 And they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 011 1KI 018 027 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleepeth, and must be awakened. 011 1KI 018 028 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 011 1KI 018 029 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 011 1KI 018 030 And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. 011 1KI 018 031 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 011 1KI 018 032 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 011 1KI 018 033 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 011 1KI 018 034 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. 011 1KI 018 035 And the water ran around the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 011 1KI 018 036 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 011 1KI 018 037 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 011 1KI 018 038 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 011 1KI 018 039 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. 011 1KI 018 040 And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. 011 1KI 018 041 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 011 1KI 018 042 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 011 1KI 018 043 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 011 1KI 018 044 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and go down, that the rain may not hinder thee. 011 1KI 018 045 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 011 1KI 018 046 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. 011 1KI 019 001 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 011 1KI 019 002 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time. 011 1KI 019 003 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. 011 1KI 019 004 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 011 1KI 019 005 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat. 011 1KI 019 006 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he ate and drank, and laid himself down again. 011 1KI 019 007 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. 011 1KI 019 008 And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. 011 1KI 019 009 And he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 011 1KI 019 010 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 011 1KI 019 011 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 011 1KI 019 012 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 011 1KI 019 013 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 011 1KI 019 014 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 011 1KI 019 015 And the LORD said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: 011 1KI 019 016 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead. 011 1KI 019 017 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 011 1KI 019 018 Yet I have left to me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 011 1KI 019 019 So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 011 1KI 019 020 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 011 1KI 019 021 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him. 011 1KI 020 001 And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it. 011 1KI 020 002 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus saith Benhadad, 011 1KI 020 003 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the most comely, are mine. 011 1KI 020 004 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have. 011 1KI 020 005 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver to me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children; 011 1KI 020 006 Yet I will send my servants to thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in thy eyes, they shall take it in their hand, and carry it away. 011 1KI 020 007 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not. 011 1KI 020 008 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not to him, nor consent. 011 1KI 020 009 Therefore he said to the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again. 011 1KI 020 010 And Benhadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me. 011 1KI 020 011 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his armour boast himself as he that putteth it off. 011 1KI 020 012 And it came to pass, when Benhadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city. 011 1KI 020 013 And, behold, there came a prophet to Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 011 1KI 020 014 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou. 011 1KI 020 015 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty and two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. 011 1KI 020 016 And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him. 011 1KI 020 017 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria. 011 1KI 020 018 And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for war, take them alive. 011 1KI 020 019 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them. 011 1KI 020 020 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen. 011 1KI 020 021 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. 011 1KI 020 022 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee. 011 1KI 020 023 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. 011 1KI 020 024 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their places: 011 1KI 020 025 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so. 011 1KI 020 026 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel. 011 1KI 020 027 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country. 011 1KI 020 028 And there came a man of God, and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 011 1KI 020 029 And they encamped opposite one another seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day. 011 1KI 020 030 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber. 011 1KI 020 031 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save thy life. 011 1KI 020 032 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother. 011 1KI 020 033 Now the men diligently observed whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 011 1KI 020 034 And Benhadad said to him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. 011 1KI 020 035 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him. 011 1KI 020 036 Then said he to him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou hast departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him. 011 1KI 020 037 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. 011 1KI 020 038 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. 011 1KI 020 039 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he shall be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 011 1KI 020 040 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it. 011 1KI 020 041 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel knew that he was of the prophets. 011 1KI 020 042 And he said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. 011 1KI 020 043 And the king of Israel went to his house sad and displeased, and came to Samaria. 011 1KI 021 001 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 011 1KI 021 002 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seemeth good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 011 1KI 021 003 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee. 011 1KI 021 004 And Ahab came into his house sad and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food. 011 1KI 021 005 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no food? 011 1KI 021 006 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 011 1KI 021 007 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat food, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 011 1KI 021 008 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 011 1KI 021 009 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 011 1KI 021 010 And set two men, worthless men, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 011 1KI 021 011 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them. 011 1KI 021 012 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 011 1KI 021 013 And there came in two men, worthless men, and sat before him: and the worthless men witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. 011 1KI 021 014 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 011 1KI 021 015 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 011 1KI 021 016 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. 011 1KI 021 017 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 011 1KI 021 018 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it. 011 1KI 021 019 And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 011 1KI 021 020 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD. 011 1KI 021 021 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, 011 1KI 021 022 And will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 021 023 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. 011 1KI 021 024 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. 011 1KI 021 025 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. 011 1KI 021 026 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 011 1KI 021 027 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. 011 1KI 021 028 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 011 1KI 021 029 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house. 011 1KI 022 001 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. 011 1KI 022 002 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 011 1KI 022 003 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we are still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria? 011 1KI 022 004 And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 011 1KI 022 005 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 011 1KI 022 006 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 011 1KI 022 007 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may enquire of him? 011 1KI 022 008 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 011 1KI 022 009 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten here Micaiah the son of Imlah. 011 1KI 022 010 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a threshingfloor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 011 1KI 022 011 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou hast consumed them. 011 1KI 022 012 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand. 011 1KI 022 013 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good. 011 1KI 022 014 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith to me, that will I speak. 011 1KI 022 015 So he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 011 1KI 022 016 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD? 011 1KI 022 017 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. 011 1KI 022 018 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? 011 1KI 022 019 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. 011 1KI 022 020 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said in this manner, and another said in that manner. 011 1KI 022 021 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. 011 1KI 022 022 And the LORD said to him, How? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 011 1KI 022 023 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee. 011 1KI 022 024 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to thee? 011 1KI 022 025 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 011 1KI 022 026 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son; 011 1KI 022 027 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace. 011 1KI 022 028 And Micaiah said, If thou shalt return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, each one of you. 011 1KI 022 029 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. 011 1KI 022 030 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. 011 1KI 022 031 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel. 011 1KI 022 032 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely this is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. 011 1KI 022 033 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 011 1KI 022 034 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of his armour: therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. 011 1KI 022 035 And the battle increased that day: and the king was held up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the inside of the chariot. 011 1KI 022 036 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the setting of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country. 011 1KI 022 037 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. 011 1KI 022 038 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke. 011 1KI 022 039 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 011 1KI 022 040 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 022 041 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 011 1KI 022 042 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 011 1KI 022 043 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. 011 1KI 022 044 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. 011 1KI 022 045 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 011 1KI 022 046 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he removed from the land. 011 1KI 022 047 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king. 011 1KI 022 048 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber. 011 1KI 022 049 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. 011 1KI 022 050 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 022 051 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel. 011 1KI 022 052 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: 011 1KI 022 053 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. # # BOOK 012 2KI 2 Kings 2 Kings 012 2KI 001 001 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 012 2KI 001 002 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover from this disease. 012 2KI 001 003 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? 012 2KI 001 004 Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed. 012 2KI 001 005 And when the messengers returned to him, he said to them, Why have ye now returned? 012 2KI 001 006 And they said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 012 2KI 001 007 And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words? 012 2KI 001 008 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a leather belt about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 012 2KI 001 009 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke to him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. 012 2KI 001 010 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 012 2KI 001 011 Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. 012 2KI 001 012 And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 012 2KI 001 013 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight. 012 2KI 001 014 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight. 012 2KI 001 015 And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king. 012 2KI 001 016 And he said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 012 2KI 001 017 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. 012 2KI 001 018 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 002 001 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 012 2KI 002 002 And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 012 2KI 002 003 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 012 2KI 002 004 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 012 2KI 002 005 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 012 2KI 002 006 And Elijah said to him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. 012 2KI 002 007 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. 012 2KI 002 008 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided to the one side and to the other, so that they two went over on dry ground. 012 2KI 002 009 And it came to pass, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 012 2KI 002 010 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou shalt see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 012 2KI 002 011 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 012 2KI 002 012 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces. 012 2KI 002 013 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; 012 2KI 002 014 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted to the one side and to the other: and Elisha went over. 012 2KI 002 015 And when the sons of the prophets who were looking on at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. 012 2KI 002 016 And they said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send. 012 2KI 002 017 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. 012 2KI 002 018 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not? 012 2KI 002 019 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the ground barren. 012 2KI 002 020 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him. 012 2KI 002 021 And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land. 012 2KI 002 022 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke. 012 2KI 002 023 And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth youths out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 012 2KI 002 024 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two youths of them. 012 2KI 002 025 And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. 012 2KI 003 001 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. 012 2KI 003 002 And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made. 012 2KI 003 003 Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it. 012 2KI 003 004 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool. 012 2KI 003 005 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. 012 2KI 003 006 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel. 012 2KI 003 007 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses. 012 2KI 003 008 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom. 012 2KI 003 009 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them. 012 2KI 003 010 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab! 012 2KI 003 011 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah. 012 2KI 003 012 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him. 012 2KI 003 013 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab. 012 2KI 003 014 And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 012 2KI 003 015 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him. 012 2KI 003 016 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. 012 2KI 003 017 For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 012 2KI 003 018 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand. 012 2KI 003 019 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. 012 2KI 003 020 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. 012 2KI 003 021 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border. 012 2KI 003 022 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood: 012 2KI 003 023 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 012 2KI 003 024 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country. 012 2KI 003 025 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth they left the stones of it; but the slingers went about it, and smote it. 012 2KI 003 026 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom: but they could not. 012 2KI 003 027 Then he took his eldest son that was to reign in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land. 012 2KI 004 001 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the LORD: and the creditor hath come to take to my two sons to be his slaves. 012 2KI 004 002 And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not any thing in the house, except a pot of oil. 012 2KI 004 003 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 012 2KI 004 004 And when thou hast come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 012 2KI 004 005 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 012 2KI 004 006 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stopped flowing. 012 2KI 004 007 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children on the rest. 012 2KI 004 008 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. 012 2KI 004 009 And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, who passeth by us continually. 012 2KI 004 010 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, with walls; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a lampstand: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in there. 012 2KI 004 011 And it fell on a day, that he came there, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 012 2KI 004 012 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 012 2KI 004 013 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own people. 012 2KI 004 014 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. 012 2KI 004 015 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 012 2KI 004 016 And he said, About this season, next year, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid. 012 2KI 004 017 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, according to the set time. 012 2KI 004 018 And when the child was grown, it happened on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 012 2KI 004 019 And he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. 012 2KI 004 020 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. 012 2KI 004 021 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. 012 2KI 004 022 And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. 012 2KI 004 023 And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. 012 2KI 004 024 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. 012 2KI 004 025 So she went and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite: 012 2KI 004 026 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. 012 2KI 004 027 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is sorrowful within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 012 2KI 004 028 Then she said, Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me? 012 2KI 004 029 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: and if thou shalt meet any man, greet him not; and if any shall greet thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. 012 2KI 004 030 And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. 012 2KI 004 031 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awakened. 012 2KI 004 032 And when Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 012 2KI 004 033 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to the LORD. 012 2KI 004 034 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child became warm. 012 2KI 004 035 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 012 2KI 004 036 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she had come in to him, he said, Take up thy son. 012 2KI 004 037 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out. 012 2KI 004 038 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets. 012 2KI 004 039 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not. 012 2KI 004 040 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat of it. 012 2KI 004 041 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot. 012 2KI 004 042 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of grain in its husk. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat. 012 2KI 004 043 And his servant said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall have some left. 012 2KI 004 044 So he set it before them, and they ate, and left some, according to the word of the LORD. 012 2KI 005 001 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. 012 2KI 005 002 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. 012 2KI 005 003 And she said to her mistress, I would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would cure him of his leprosy. 012 2KI 005 004 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 012 2KI 005 005 And the king of Syria said, Go, now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 012 2KI 005 006 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter hath come to thee, behold, with it I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest cure him of his leprosy. 012 2KI 005 007 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send to me to cure a man of his leprosy? therefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me. 012 2KI 005 008 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou torn thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. 012 2KI 005 009 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 012 2KI 005 010 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 012 2KI 005 011 But Naaman was furious, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and cure the leprosy. 012 2KI 005 012 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 012 2KI 005 013 And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 012 2KI 005 014 Then he went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 012 2KI 005 015 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing from thy servant. 012 2KI 005 016 But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused. 012 2KI 005 017 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD. 012 2KI 005 018 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing. 012 2KI 005 019 And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. 012 2KI 005 020 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat from him. 012 2KI 005 021 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? 012 2KI 005 022 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there have come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. 012 2KI 005 023 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him. 012 2KI 005 024 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed. 012 2KI 005 025 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, From where comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went nowhere. 012 2KI 005 026 And he said to him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and male and female servants? 012 2KI 005 027 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. 012 2KI 006 001 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too small for us. 012 2KI 006 002 Let us go, we pray thee, to Jordan, and take from there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 012 2KI 006 003 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 012 2KI 006 004 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 012 2KI 006 005 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 012 2KI 006 006 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in there; and made the axe head float. 012 2KI 006 007 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. 012 2KI 006 008 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 012 2KI 006 009 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for there the Syrians have come down. 012 2KI 006 010 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 012 2KI 006 011 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel? 012 2KI 006 012 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 012 2KI 006 013 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and bring him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. 012 2KI 006 014 Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and surrounded the city. 012 2KI 006 015 And when the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host surrounded the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 012 2KI 006 016 And he answered, Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that are with them. 012 2KI 006 017 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. 012 2KI 006 018 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. 012 2KI 006 019 And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria. 012 2KI 006 020 And it came to pass, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 012 2KI 006 021 And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them? 012 2KI 006 022 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 012 2KI 006 023 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. 012 2KI 006 024 And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 012 2KI 006 025 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver. 012 2KI 006 026 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 012 2KI 006 027 And he said, If the LORD doth not help thee, how shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? 012 2KI 006 028 And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. 012 2KI 006 029 So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son. 012 2KI 006 030 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his flesh. 012 2KI 006 031 Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day. 012 2KI 006 032 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him? 012 2KI 006 033 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer? 012 2KI 007 001 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. 012 2KI 007 002 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat of it. 012 2KI 007 003 And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? 012 2KI 007 004 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall to the army of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. 012 2KI 007 005 And they rose in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians: and when they had come to the edge of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. 012 2KI 007 006 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 012 2KI 007 007 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 012 2KI 007 008 And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried from there silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried from there also, and went and hid it. 012 2KI 007 009 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household. 012 2KI 007 010 So they came and called to the porter of the city: and they told him, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and donkeys tied, and the tents as they were. 012 2KI 007 011 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s house within. 012 2KI 007 012 And the king arose in the night, and said to his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city. 012 2KI 007 013 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed: ) and let us send and see. 012 2KI 007 014 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 012 2KI 007 015 And they went after them to Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king. 012 2KI 007 016 And the people went out, and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD. 012 2KI 007 017 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him. 012 2KI 007 018 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria: 012 2KI 007 019 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat of it. 012 2KI 007 020 And so it happened to him: for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died. 012 2KI 008 001 Then Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wherever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. 012 2KI 008 002 And the woman arose, and did according to the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 012 2KI 008 003 And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to appeal to the king for her house and for her land. 012 2KI 008 004 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. 012 2KI 008 005 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, appealed to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. 012 2KI 008 006 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even till now. 012 2KI 008 007 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told to him, saying, The man of God hath come here. 012 2KI 008 008 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease? 012 2KI 008 009 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease? 012 2KI 008 010 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou mayest certainly recover: but the LORD hath showed me that he shall surely die. 012 2KI 008 011 And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept. 012 2KI 008 012 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child. 012 2KI 008 013 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shown me that thou shalt be king over Syria. 012 2KI 008 014 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover. 012 2KI 008 015 And it came to pass on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 008 016 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. 012 2KI 008 017 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 012 2KI 008 018 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD. 012 2KI 008 019 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him always a light, and to his children. 012 2KI 008 020 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 012 2KI 008 021 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents. 012 2KI 008 022 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. 012 2KI 008 023 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 008 024 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 008 025 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign. 012 2KI 008 026 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel. 012 2KI 008 027 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab. 012 2KI 008 028 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. 012 2KI 008 029 And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. 012 2KI 009 001 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramothgilead: 012 2KI 009 002 And when thou comest there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and take him to an inner chamber; 012 2KI 009 003 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not. 012 2KI 009 004 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead. 012 2KI 009 005 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain. 012 2KI 009 006 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel. 012 2KI 009 007 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 012 2KI 009 008 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab the males, both bound and free in Israel: 012 2KI 009 009 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: 012 2KI 009 010 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled. 012 2KI 009 011 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, Is all well? Why came this mad fellow to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication. 012 2KI 009 012 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. 012 2KI 009 013 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king. 012 2KI 009 014 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria. 012 2KI 009 015 But king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it is your minds, then let none go forth nor escape from the city to go to tell it in Jezreel. 012 2KI 009 016 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram. 012 2KI 009 017 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace? 012 2KI 009 018 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he doth not return. 012 2KI 009 019 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. 012 2KI 009 020 And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and doth not return: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously. 012 2KI 009 021 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 012 2KI 009 022 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the harlotries of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? 012 2KI 009 023 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. 012 2KI 009 024 And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 012 2KI 009 025 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him; 012 2KI 009 026 Surely I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will repay thee in this plot, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot of ground, according to the word of the LORD. 012 2KI 009 027 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 012 2KI 009 028 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. 012 2KI 009 029 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 012 2KI 009 030 And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out at a window. 012 2KI 009 031 And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? 012 2KI 009 032 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. 012 2KI 009 033 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot. 012 2KI 009 034 And when he had come in, he ate and drank, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s daughter. 012 2KI 009 035 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. 012 2KI 009 036 Therefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: 012 2KI 009 037 And the dead body of Jezebel shall be as refuse upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel. 012 2KI 010 001 And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab’s children, saying, 012 2KI 010 002 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armour; 012 2KI 010 003 Choose the best and most fit of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house. 012 2KI 010 004 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand? 012 2KI 010 005 And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thy eyes. 012 2KI 010 006 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye are mine, and if ye will hearken to my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up. 012 2KI 010 007 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel. 012 2KI 010 008 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning. 012 2KI 010 009 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these? 012 2KI 010 010 Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah. 012 2KI 010 011 So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsmen, and his priests, until he left him none remaining. 012 2KI 010 012 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way, 012 2KI 010 013 Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen. 012 2KI 010 014 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them. 012 2KI 010 015 And when he had departed from there, he came upon Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he greeted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot. 012 2KI 010 016 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot. 012 2KI 010 017 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke to Elijah. 012 2KI 010 018 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much. 012 2KI 010 019 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be missing: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoever shall be missing, he shall not live. But Jehu did it deceitfully, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 012 2KI 010 020 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it. 012 2KI 010 021 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another. 012 2KI 010 022 And he said to him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. 012 2KI 010 023 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and see that there are here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only. 012 2KI 010 024 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed eighty men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him. 012 2KI 010 025 And it came to pass, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. 012 2KI 010 026 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. 012 2KI 010 027 And they broke down the image of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a place of refuse to this day. 012 2KI 010 028 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 012 2KI 010 029 Yet from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, that is, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan. 012 2KI 010 030 And the LORD said to Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel. 012 2KI 010 031 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 010 032 In those days the LORD began to cut off parts of Israel: and Hazael smote them in all the land of Israel; 012 2KI 010 033 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan. 012 2KI 010 034 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 010 035 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 010 036 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years. 012 2KI 011 001 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. 012 2KI 011 002 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons who were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. 012 2KI 011 003 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land. 012 2KI 011 004 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king’s son. 012 2KI 011 005 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king’s house; 012 2KI 011 006 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down. 012 2KI 011 007 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king. 012 2KI 011 008 And ye shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. 012 2KI 011 009 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 012 2KI 011 010 And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD. 012 2KI 011 011 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple. 012 2KI 011 012 And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king. 012 2KI 011 013 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD. 012 2KI 011 014 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason. 012 2KI 011 015 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said to them, Have her forth beyond the ranks: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 011 016 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain. 012 2KI 011 017 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’S people; between the king also and the people. 012 2KI 011 018 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke wholly in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 011 019 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 012 2KI 011 020 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house. 012 2KI 011 021 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign. 012 2KI 012 001 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba. 012 2KI 012 002 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 012 2KI 012 003 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 012 2KI 012 004 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money of every man’s assessment, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD, 012 2KI 012 005 Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found. 012 2KI 012 006 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. 012 2KI 012 007 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house. 012 2KI 012 008 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house. 012 2KI 012 009 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put in it all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 012 010 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 012 011 And they gave the money, being counted, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they paid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD, 012 2KI 012 012 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. 012 2KI 012 013 Yet there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD: 012 2KI 012 014 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired with it the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 012 015 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. 012 2KI 012 016 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests’. 012 2KI 012 017 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. 012 2KI 012 018 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem. 012 2KI 012 019 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 012 020 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla. 012 2KI 012 021 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 013 001 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years. 012 2KI 013 002 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it. 012 2KI 013 003 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days. 012 2KI 013 004 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened to him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. 012 2KI 013 005 (And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past. 012 2KI 013 006 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked in them: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.) 012 2KI 013 007 Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing. 012 2KI 013 008 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 013 009 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 013 010 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years. 012 2KI 013 011 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked in them. 012 2KI 013 012 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 013 013 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 012 2KI 013 014 Now Elisha had fallen sick of his disease of which he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen. 012 2KI 013 015 And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to him bow and arrows. 012 2KI 013 016 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. 012 2KI 013 017 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD’S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou hast consumed them. 012 2KI 013 018 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote three times, and stopped. 012 2KI 013 019 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: though now thou shalt smite Syria but three times. 012 2KI 013 020 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. 012 2KI 013 021 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood on his feet. 012 2KI 013 022 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 012 2KI 013 023 And the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence as yet. 012 2KI 013 024 So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 013 025 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again from the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times Joash smote him, and recovered the cities of Israel. 012 2KI 014 001 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah. 012 2KI 014 002 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 014 003 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did. 012 2KI 014 004 But the high places were not taken away: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. 012 2KI 014 005 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father. 012 2KI 014 006 But the children of the murderers he slew not: according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, in which the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 012 2KI 014 007 He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel to this day. 012 2KI 014 008 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face. 012 2KI 014 009 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle. 012 2KI 014 010 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy harm, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 012 2KI 014 011 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 012 2KI 014 012 And Judah was smitten by Israel; and they fled every man to their tents. 012 2KI 014 013 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. 012 2KI 014 014 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria. 012 2KI 014 015 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 014 016 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 014 017 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 012 2KI 014 018 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 014 019 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there. 012 2KI 014 020 And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. 012 2KI 014 021 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 012 2KI 014 022 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 012 2KI 014 023 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years. 012 2KI 014 024 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 014 025 He restored the land of Israel from the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gathhepher. 012 2KI 014 026 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 012 2KI 014 027 And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. 012 2KI 014 028 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 014 029 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 001 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. 012 2KI 015 002 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 015 003 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; 012 2KI 015 004 Except that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. 012 2KI 015 005 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the house, judging the people of the land. 012 2KI 015 006 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 015 007 So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 008 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. 012 2KI 015 009 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 010 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 011 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 012 2KI 015 012 This was the word of the LORD which he spoke to Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation. And so it came to pass. 012 2KI 015 013 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria. 012 2KI 015 014 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 015 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 012 2KI 015 016 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were there, and its land from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women there that were with child he ripped up. 012 2KI 015 017 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 012 2KI 015 018 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 019 And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. 012 2KI 015 020 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land. 012 2KI 015 021 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 012 2KI 015 022 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 023 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years. 012 2KI 015 024 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 025 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 026 And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 012 2KI 015 027 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years. 012 2KI 015 028 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 029 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria. 012 2KI 015 030 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. 012 2KI 015 031 And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 012 2KI 015 032 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. 012 2KI 015 033 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok. 012 2KI 015 034 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. 012 2KI 015 035 Yet the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 015 036 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 015 037 In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. 012 2KI 015 038 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 016 001 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 012 2KI 016 002 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father. 012 2KI 016 003 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel. 012 2KI 016 004 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 012 2KI 016 005 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. 012 2KI 016 006 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and have dwelt there to this day. 012 2KI 016 007 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me. 012 2KI 016 008 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria. 012 2KI 016 009 And the king of Assyria hearkened to him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. 012 2KI 016 010 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship of it. 012 2KI 016 011 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it before king Ahaz came from Damascus. 012 2KI 016 012 And when the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered on it. 012 2KI 016 013 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar. 012 2KI 016 014 And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar. 012 2KI 016 015 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by. 012 2KI 016 016 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded. 012 2KI 016 017 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones. 012 2KI 016 018 And the covered place for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entrance outside, he took from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria. 012 2KI 016 019 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 016 020 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 017 001 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. 012 2KI 017 002 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. 012 2KI 017 003 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him tribute. 012 2KI 017 004 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. 012 2KI 017 005 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. 012 2KI 017 006 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 012 2KI 017 007 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, 012 2KI 017 008 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 012 2KI 017 009 And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. 012 2KI 017 010 And they set up for themselves images and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree: 012 2KI 017 011 And there they burnt incense on all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: 012 2KI 017 012 For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing. 012 2KI 017 013 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. 012 2KI 017 014 However they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. 012 2KI 017 015 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. 012 2KI 017 016 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. 012 2KI 017 017 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 012 2KI 017 018 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. 012 2KI 017 019 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 012 2KI 017 020 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. 012 2KI 017 021 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. 012 2KI 017 022 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 012 2KI 017 023 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day. 012 2KI 017 024 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities. 012 2KI 017 025 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them. 012 2KI 017 026 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land. 012 2KI 017 027 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Take there one of the priests whom ye brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land. 012 2KI 017 028 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD. 012 2KI 017 029 Yet every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt. 012 2KI 017 030 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 012 2KI 017 031 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 012 2KI 017 032 So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. 012 2KI 017 033 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from there. 012 2KI 017 034 To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; 012 2KI 017 035 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: 012 2KI 017 036 But the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye sacrifice. 012 2KI 017 037 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. 012 2KI 017 038 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 012 2KI 017 039 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 012 2KI 017 040 Yet they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. 012 2KI 017 041 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day. 012 2KI 018 001 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. 012 2KI 018 002 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. 012 2KI 018 003 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did. 012 2KI 018 004 He removed the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the groves, and broke in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for till those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 012 2KI 018 005 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. 012 2KI 018 006 For he clung to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. 012 2KI 018 007 And the LORD was with him; and he prospered wherever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 012 2KI 018 008 He smote the Philistines, even to Gaza, and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. 012 2KI 018 009 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. 012 2KI 018 010 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 012 2KI 018 011 And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes: 012 2KI 018 012 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them. 012 2KI 018 013 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. 012 2KI 018 014 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; withdraw from me: that which thou puttest on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 012 2KI 018 015 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king’s house. 012 2KI 018 016 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 012 2KI 018 017 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field. 012 2KI 018 018 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 012 2KI 018 019 And Rabshakeh said to them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which thou trustest? 012 2KI 018 020 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words, ) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now in whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 012 2KI 018 021 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man leaneth, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him. 012 2KI 018 022 But if ye say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem? 012 2KI 018 023 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou shalt be able on thy part to set riders upon them. 012 2KI 018 024 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? 012 2KI 018 025 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 012 2KI 018 026 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 012 2KI 018 027 But Rabshakeh said to them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you? 012 2KI 018 028 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria: 012 2KI 018 029 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand: 012 2KI 018 030 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 012 2KI 018 031 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern: 012 2KI 018 032 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not to Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. 012 2KI 018 033 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 012 2KI 018 034 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 012 2KI 018 035 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? 012 2KI 018 036 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 012 2KI 018 037 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. 012 2KI 019 001 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 019 002 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 012 2KI 019 003 And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 012 2KI 019 004 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left. 012 2KI 019 005 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 012 2KI 019 006 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 012 2KI 019 007 Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. 012 2KI 019 008 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish. 012 2KI 019 009 And when he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Cush, Behold, he hath come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, 012 2KI 019 010 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 012 2KI 019 011 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered? 012 2KI 019 012 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Thelasar? 012 2KI 019 013 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah? 012 2KI 019 014 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. 012 2KI 019 015 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 012 2KI 019 016 LORD, bow down thy ear, and hear: open, LORD, thy eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God. 012 2KI 019 017 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, 012 2KI 019 018 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. 012 2KI 019 019 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only. 012 2KI 019 020 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. 012 2KI 019 021 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. 012 2KI 019 022 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. 012 2KI 019 023 By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down its tall cedar trees, and its choice fir trees: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel. 012 2KI 019 024 I have dug and drank strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. 012 2KI 019 025 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fortified cities in ruinous heaps. 012 2KI 019 026 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blighted before it is grown up. 012 2KI 019 027 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 012 2KI 019 028 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. 012 2KI 019 029 And this shall be a sign to thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of it. 012 2KI 019 030 And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 012 2KI 019 031 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. 012 2KI 019 032 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. 012 2KI 019 033 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 012 2KI 019 034 For I will defend this city, to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. 012 2KI 019 035 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred and eighty and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies. 012 2KI 019 036 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 012 2KI 019 037 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 020 001 In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 012 2KI 020 002 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying, 012 2KI 020 003 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept grievously. 012 2KI 020 004 And it came to pass, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 012 2KI 020 005 Return, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up to the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 020 006 And I will add to thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. 012 2KI 020 007 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 012 2KI 020 008 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? 012 2KI 020 009 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 012 2KI 020 010 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 012 2KI 020 011 And Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz. 012 2KI 020 012 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 012 2KI 020 013 And Hezekiah hearkened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasuries: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. 012 2KI 020 014 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country, even from Babylon. 012 2KI 020 015 And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them. 012 2KI 020 016 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD. 012 2KI 020 017 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. 012 2KI 020 018 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 012 2KI 020 019 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth shall be in my days? 012 2KI 020 020 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 020 021 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 021 001 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzibah. 012 2KI 021 002 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 012 2KI 021 003 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 012 2KI 021 004 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 012 2KI 021 005 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 021 006 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with mediums and wizards: he committed much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 012 2KI 021 007 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever: 012 2KI 021 008 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them. 012 2KI 021 009 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. 012 2KI 021 010 And the LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, 012 2KI 021 011 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols: 012 2KI 021 012 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle. 012 2KI 021 013 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down. 012 2KI 021 014 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies; 012 2KI 021 015 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day. 012 2KI 021 016 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin which he made Judah to sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD. 012 2KI 021 017 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 021 018 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 021 019 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 012 2KI 021 020 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did. 012 2KI 021 021 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: 012 2KI 021 022 And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD. 012 2KI 021 023 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. 012 2KI 021 024 And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. 012 2KI 021 025 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 021 026 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 022 001 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath. 012 2KI 022 002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left. 012 2KI 022 003 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying, 012 2KI 022 004 Go to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered from the people: 012 2KI 022 005 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house, 012 2KI 022 006 To carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. 012 2KI 022 007 But there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully. 012 2KI 022 008 And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. 012 2KI 022 009 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 022 010 And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 012 2KI 022 011 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes. 012 2KI 022 012 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king’s, saying, 012 2KI 022 013 Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us. 012 2KI 022 014 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter; ) and they talked with her. 012 2KI 022 015 And she said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, 012 2KI 022 016 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read: 012 2KI 022 017 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. 012 2KI 022 018 But to the king of Judah who sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, concerning the words which thou hast heard; 012 2KI 022 019 Because thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast torn thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. 012 2KI 022 020 Behold therefore, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thy eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. 012 2KI 023 001 And the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 023 002 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 023 003 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people joined in the covenant. 012 2KI 023 004 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel. 012 2KI 023 005 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. 012 2KI 023 006 And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder of it upon the graves of the children of the people. 012 2KI 023 007 And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove. 012 2KI 023 008 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and broke down the high places of the gates that were in the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city. 012 2KI 023 009 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren. 012 2KI 023 010 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech. 012 2KI 023 011 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the common lands, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 012 2KI 023 012 And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and broke them down from there, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron. 012 2KI 023 013 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. 012 2KI 023 014 And he broke in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men. 012 2KI 023 015 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove. 012 2KI 023 016 And as Josiah turned himself, he espied the sepulchres that were there on the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words. 012 2KI 023 017 Then he said, What title is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel. 012 2KI 023 018 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria. 012 2KI 023 019 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel. 012 2KI 023 020 And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burnt men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem. 012 2KI 023 021 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant. 012 2KI 023 022 Surely there was not held such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; 012 2KI 023 023 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, when this passover was held to the LORD in Jerusalem. 012 2KI 023 024 Moreover the mediums, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 023 025 And like him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him. 012 2KI 023 026 However the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him. 012 2KI 023 027 And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there. 012 2KI 023 028 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 023 029 In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him. 012 2KI 023 030 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead. 012 2KI 023 031 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 012 2KI 023 032 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. 012 2KI 023 033 And Pharaohnechoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and subjected the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. 012 2KI 023 034 And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the stead of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there. 012 2KI 023 035 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, from every one according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaohnechoh. 012 2KI 023 036 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 012 2KI 023 037 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. 012 2KI 024 001 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. 012 2KI 024 002 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servants the prophets. 012 2KI 024 003 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did; 012 2KI 024 004 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon. 012 2KI 024 005 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 012 2KI 024 006 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 024 007 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt. 012 2KI 024 008 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 024 009 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. 012 2KI 024 010 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 012 2KI 024 011 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it. 012 2KI 024 012 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. 012 2KI 024 013 And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said. 012 2KI 024 014 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land. 012 2KI 024 015 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 012 2KI 024 016 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. 012 2KI 024 017 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father’s brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. 012 2KI 024 018 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 012 2KI 024 019 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 012 2KI 024 020 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 012 2KI 025 001 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it on all sides. 012 2KI 025 002 And the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 012 2KI 025 003 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. 012 2KI 025 004 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city on all sides: ) and the king went the way toward the plain. 012 2KI 025 005 And the army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him. 012 2KI 025 006 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they pronounced sentence upon him. 012 2KI 025 007 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. 012 2KI 025 008 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem: 012 2KI 025 009 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house he burnt with fire. 012 2KI 025 010 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem on all sides. 012 2KI 025 011 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away. 012 2KI 025 012 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and farmers. 012 2KI 025 013 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon. 012 2KI 025 014 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass by which they ministered, they took away. 012 2KI 025 015 And the firepans, and the basins, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away. 012 2KI 025 016 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was beyond weight. 012 2KI 025 017 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass: and the height of the capital three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the capital around, all of brass: and like these had the second pillar with wreathen work. 012 2KI 025 018 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 012 2KI 025 019 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city: 012 2KI 025 020 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah: 012 2KI 025 021 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land. 012 2KI 025 022 And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler. 012 2KI 025 023 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. 012 2KI 025 024 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you. 012 2KI 025 025 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah. 012 2KI 025 026 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees. 012 2KI 025 027 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison; 012 2KI 025 028 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon; 012 2KI 025 029 And changed his prison garments: and he ate his food daily before him all the days of his life. 012 2KI 025 030 And his allowance was a daily allowance given him by the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life. # # BOOK 013 1CH 1 Chronicles 1 Chronicles 013 1CH 001 001 Adam, Sheth, Enosh, 013 1CH 001 002 Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, 013 1CH 001 003 Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, 013 1CH 001 004 Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 013 1CH 001 005 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 013 1CH 001 006 And the sons of Gomer; Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 013 1CH 001 007 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 013 1CH 001 008 The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 013 1CH 001 009 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha.

But his armourbearer would not; for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 013 1CH 010 005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. 013 1CH 010 006 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together. 013 1CH 010 007 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 013 1CH 010 008 And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 013 1CH 010 009 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent messengers around into the land of the Philistines, to carry tidings to their idols, and to the people. 013 1CH 010 010 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 013 1CH 010 011 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 013 1CH 010 012 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 013 1CH 010 013 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of a medium, to enquire of it; 013 1CH 010 014 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse. 013 1CH 011 001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 013 1CH 011 002 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel. 013 1CH 011 003 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 013 1CH 011 004 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 013 1CH 011 005 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come here. Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion, which is the city of David. 013 1CH 011 006 And David said, Whoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was chief. 013 1CH 011 007 And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore they called it the city of David. 013 1CH 011 008 And he built the city all around, even from Millo all around: and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 013 1CH 011 009 So David became greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him. 013 1CH 011 010 These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel. 013 1CH 011 011 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time. 013 1CH 011 012 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men. 013 1CH 011 013 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. 013 1CH 011 014 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance. 013 1CH 011 015 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 013 1CH 011 016 And David was then in the strong hold, and the Philistines’ garrison was then at Bethlehem. 013 1CH 011 017 And David longed, and said, O that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate! 013 1CH 011 018 And the three broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD, 013 1CH 011 019 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. 013 1CH 011 020 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three. 013 1CH 011 021 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: but he attained not to the first three. 013 1CH 011 022 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many deeds; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day. 013 1CH 011 023 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear. 013 1CH 011 024 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men. 013 1CH 011 025 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard. 013 1CH 011 026 Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 013 1CH 011 027 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite, 013 1CH 011 028 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite, 013 1CH 011 029 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, 013 1CH 011 030 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite, 013 1CH 011 031 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite, 013 1CH 011 032 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, 013 1CH 011 033 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite, 013 1CH 011 034 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite, 013 1CH 011 035 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur, 013 1CH 011 036 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite, 013 1CH 011 037 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai, 013 1CH 011 038 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri, 013 1CH 011 039 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah, 013 1CH 011 040 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 013 1CH 011 041 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai, 013 1CH 011 042 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him, 013 1CH 011 043 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, 013 1CH 011 044 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the Aroerite, 013 1CH 011 045 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite, 013 1CH 011 046 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite, 013 1CH 011 047 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite. 013 1CH 012 001 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he could not move about freely because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. 013 1CH 012 002 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows from a bow, even of Saul’s brethren of Benjamin. 013 1CH 012 003 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite, 013 1CH 012 004 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite, 013 1CH 012 005 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite, 013 1CH 012 006 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites, 013 1CH 012 007 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. 013 1CH 012 008 And of the Gadites there separated themselves to David in the strong hold in the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; 013 1CH 012 009 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, 013 1CH 012 010 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 013 1CH 012 011 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 013 1CH 012 012 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 013 1CH 012 013 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh. 013 1CH 012 014 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. 013 1CH 012 015 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west. 013 1CH 012 016 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the strong hold to David. 013 1CH 012 017 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you: but if ye have come to betray me to my enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look on it, and rebuke it. 013 1CH 012 018 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be to thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. 013 1CH 012 019 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads. 013 1CH 012 020 And as he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh. 013 1CH 012 021 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host. 013 1CH 012 022 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God. 013 1CH 012 023 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD. 013 1CH 012 024 The children of Judah that bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed for war. 013 1CH 012 025 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for war, seven thousand and one hundred. 013 1CH 012 026 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred. 013 1CH 012 027 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred; 013 1CH 012 028 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father’s house twenty and two captains. 013 1CH 012 029 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for to this time the greatest part of them had kept the guard of the house of Saul. 013 1CH 012 030 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers. 013 1CH 012 031 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were expressed by name, to come and make David king. 013 1CH 012 032 And of the children of Issachar, who were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command. 013 1CH 012 033 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, who could keep rank: they were not of double heart. 013 1CH 012 034 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand. 013 1CH 012 035 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred. 013 1CH 012 036 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand. 013 1CH 012 037 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand. 013 1CH 012 038 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king. 013 1CH 012 039 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had made preparation for them. 013 1CH 012 040 Moreover they that were near them, even to Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and provisions, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel. 013 1CH 013 001 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and with every leader. 013 1CH 013 002 And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seemeth good to you, and that it is of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and common lands, that they may assemble to us: 013 1CH 013 003 And let us bring again to us the ark of our God: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 013 1CH 013 004 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 013 1CH 013 005 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim. 013 1CH 013 006 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called on it. 013 1CH 013 007 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 013 1CH 013 008 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 013 1CH 013 009 And when they came to the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 013 1CH 013 010 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 013 1CH 013 011 And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza: therefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day. 013 1CH 013 012 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 013 1CH 013 013 So David brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 013 1CH 013 014 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had. 013 1CH 014 001 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. 013 1CH 014 002 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel. 013 1CH 014 003 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. 013 1CH 014 004 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 013 1CH 014 005 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 013 1CH 014 006 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 013 1CH 014 007 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet. 013 1CH 014 008 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them. 013 1CH 014 009 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 013 1CH 014 010 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand. 013 1CH 014 011 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim. 013 1CH 014 012 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. 013 1CH 014 013 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley. 013 1CH 014 014 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 013 1CH 014 015 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt go out to battle: for God hath gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 013 1CH 014 016 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer. 013 1CH 014 017 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations. 013 1CH 015 001 And David built houses for himself in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 013 1CH 015 002 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him for ever. 013 1CH 015 003 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it. 013 1CH 015 004 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites: 013 1CH 015 005 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: 013 1CH 015 006 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty: 013 1CH 015 007 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty: 013 1CH 015 008 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred: 013 1CH 015 009 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty: 013 1CH 015 010 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve. 013 1CH 015 011 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 013 1CH 015 012 And said to them, Ye are the heads of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it. 013 1CH 015 013 For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God broke forth upon us, for that we sought him not after the proper way. 013 1CH 015 014 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel. 013 1CH 015 015 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staffs on it, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD. 013 1CH 015 016 And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. 013 1CH 015 017 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; 013 1CH 015 018 And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters. 013 1CH 015 019 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass; 013 1CH 015 020 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth; 013 1CH 015 021 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead. 013 1CH 015 022 And Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful. 013 1CH 015 023 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. 013 1CH 015 024 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. 013 1CH 015 025 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obededom with joy. 013 1CH 015 026 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams. 013 1CH 015 027 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen. 013 1CH 015 028 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps. 013 1CH 015 029 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart. 013 1CH 016 001 So they brought the ark of God, and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God. 013 1CH 016 002 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. 013 1CH 016 003 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 013 1CH 016 004 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: 013 1CH 016 005 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; 013 1CH 016 006 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. 013 1CH 016 007 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 013 1CH 016 008 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. 013 1CH 016 009 Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. 013 1CH 016 010 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 013 1CH 016 011 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 013 1CH 016 012 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 013 1CH 016 013 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 013 1CH 016 014 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 013 1CH 016 015 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 013 1CH 016 016 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac; 013 1CH 016 017 And which he confirmed to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 013 1CH 016 018 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 013 1CH 016 019 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 013 1CH 016 020 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 013 1CH 016 021 He permitted no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 013 1CH 016 022 Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 013 1CH 016 023 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation. 013 1CH 016 024 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. 013 1CH 016 025 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 013 1CH 016 026 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 013 1CH 016 027 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 013 1CH 016 028 Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength. 013 1CH 016 029 Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 013 1CH 016 030 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 013 1CH 016 031 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 013 1CH 016 032 Let the sea roar, and all it containeth: let the fields rejoice, and all that is in it. 013 1CH 016 033 Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth. 013 1CH 016 034 O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 013 1CH 016 035 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 013 1CH 016 036 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD. 013 1CH 016 037 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required: 013 1CH 016 038 And Obededom with their brethren, sixty and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters: 013 1CH 016 039 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon, 013 1CH 016 040 To offer burnt offerings to the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel; 013 1CH 016 041 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever; 013 1CH 016 042 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters. 013 1CH 016 043 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house. 013 1CH 017 001 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains. 013 1CH 017 002 Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee. 013 1CH 017 003 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 013 1CH 017 004 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in: 013 1CH 017 005 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 013 1CH 017 006 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars? 013 1CH 017 007 Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel: 013 1CH 017 008 And I have been with thee wherever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth. 013 1CH 017 009 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning, 013 1CH 017 010 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thy enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house. 013 1CH 017 011 And it shall come to pass, when thy days shall be ended that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 013 1CH 017 012 He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever. 013 1CH 017 013 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee: 013 1CH 017 014 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore. 013 1CH 017 015 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David. 013 1CH 017 016 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? 013 1CH 017 017 And yet this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. 013 1CH 017 018 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. 013 1CH 017 019 O LORD, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 013 1CH 017 020 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 013 1CH 017 021 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name by great and terrible things, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 013 1CH 017 022 For thy people Israel didst thou make thy own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. 013 1CH 017 023 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 013 1CH 017 024 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 013 1CH 017 025 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. 013 1CH 017 026 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness to thy servant: 013 1CH 017 027 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever. 013 1CH 018 001 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 013 1CH 018 002 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought tribute. 013 1CH 018 003 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 013 1CH 018 004 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots. 013 1CH 018 005 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 013 1CH 018 006 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went. 013 1CH 018 007 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 013 1CH 018 008 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 013 1CH 018 009 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; 013 1CH 018 010 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou; ) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. 013 1CH 018 011 Them also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 013 1CH 018 012 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. 013 1CH 018 013 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went. 013 1CH 018 014 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. 013 1CH 018 015 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. 013 1CH 018 016 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; 013 1CH 018 017 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king. 013 1CH 019 001 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. 013 1CH 019 002 And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him. 013 1CH 019 003 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land? 013 1CH 019 004 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. 013 1CH 019 005 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and then return. 013 1CH 019 006 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah. 013 1CH 019 007 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. 013 1CH 019 008 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 013 1CH 019 009 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come were by themselves in the field. 013 1CH 019 010 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose from all the best of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. 013 1CH 019 011 And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon. 013 1CH 019 012 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee. 013 1CH 019 013 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight. 013 1CH 019 014 So Joab and the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. 013 1CH 019 015 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. 013 1CH 019 016 And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 013 1CH 019 017 And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. 013 1CH 019 018 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men who fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host. 013 1CH 019 019 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were smote before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more. 013 1CH 020 001 And it came to pass, that after the year had ended, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. 013 1CH 020 002 And David took the crown of their king from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought also a great quantity of spoil out of the city. 013 1CH 020 003 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with instruments of iron, and with axes. Even so David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. 013 1CH 020 004 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued. 013 1CH 020 005 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear’s shaft was like a weaver’s beam. 013 1CH 020 006 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant. 013 1CH 020 007 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. 013 1CH 020 008 These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 013 1CH 021 001 And Satan stood up against Israel, and tempted David to number Israel. 013 1CH 021 002 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. 013 1CH 021 003 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? 013 1CH 021 004 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 013 1CH 021 005 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were a million and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword. 013 1CH 021 006 But Levi and Benjamin he counted not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. 013 1CH 021 007 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 013 1CH 021 008 And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 013 1CH 021 009 And the LORD spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 013 1CH 021 010 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee. 013 1CH 021 011 So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee 013 1CH 021 012 Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while the sword of thy enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the land of Israel. Now therefore consider thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 013 1CH 021 013 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. 013 1CH 021 014 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 013 1CH 021 015 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 013 1CH 021 016 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 013 1CH 021 017 And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be afflicted. 013 1CH 021 018 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and build an altar to the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 013 1CH 021 019 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD. 013 1CH 021 020 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 013 1CH 021 021 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 013 1CH 021 022 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar in it to the LORD: thou shalt grant it to me for the full price: that the plague may be restrained from the people. 013 1CH 021 023 And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. 013 1CH 021 024 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost. 013 1CH 021 025 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 013 1CH 021 026 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. 013 1CH 021 027 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath. 013 1CH 021 028 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 013 1CH 021 029 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. 013 1CH 021 030 But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD. 013 1CH 022 001 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. 013 1CH 022 002 And David commanded to gather the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. 013 1CH 022 003 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance beyond weight; 013 1CH 022 004 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David. 013 1CH 022 005 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death. 013 1CH 022 006 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. 013 1CH 022 007 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house to the name of the LORD my God: 013 1CH 022 008 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 013 1CH 022 009 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days. 013 1CH 022 010 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. 013 1CH 022 011 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee. 013 1CH 022 012 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God. 013 1CH 022 013 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou shalt take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. 013 1CH 022 014 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver; and of brass and iron beyond weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add to them. 013 1CH 022 015 Moreover there are workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every manner of work. 013 1CH 022 016 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee. 013 1CH 022 017 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, 013 1CH 022 018 Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people. 013 1CH 022 019 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD. 013 1CH 023 001 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 013 1CH 023 002 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 013 1CH 023 003 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. 013 1CH 023 004 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges: 013 1CH 023 005 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise with them. 013 1CH 023 006 And David divided them into divisions among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 013 1CH 023 007 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei. 013 1CH 023 008 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 013 1CH 023 009 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the father’s houses of Laadan. 013 1CH 023 010 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 013 1CH 023 011 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house. 013 1CH 023 012 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 013 1CH 023 013 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name for ever. 013 1CH 023 014 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. 013 1CH 023 015 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. 013 1CH 023 016 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. 013 1CH 023 017 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 013 1CH 023 018 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief. 013 1CH 023 019 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 013 1CH 023 020 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second. 013 1CH 023 021 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish. 013 1CH 023 022 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them. 013 1CH 023 023 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. 013 1CH 023 024 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the heads of the father’s houses, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward. 013 1CH 023 025 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever: 013 1CH 023 026 And also to the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service. 013 1CH 023 027 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: 013 1CH 023 028 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; 013 1CH 023 029 Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all measures of volume and size; 013 1CH 023 030 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening; 013 1CH 023 031 And to offer all burnt sacrifices to the LORD on the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the LORD: 013 1CH 023 032 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 024 001 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 013 1CH 024 002 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office. 013 1CH 024 003 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service. 013 1CH 024 004 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. 013 1CH 024 005 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 013 1CH 024 006 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, recorded them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the heads of the father’s houses of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar. 013 1CH 024 007 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 013 1CH 024 008 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 013 1CH 024 009 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 013 1CH 024 010 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 013 1CH 024 011 The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 013 1CH 024 012 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 013 1CH 024 013 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 013 1CH 024 014 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 013 1CH 024 015 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, 013 1CH 024 016 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, 013 1CH 024 017 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul, 013 1CH 024 018 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah. 013 1CH 024 019 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their custom, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him. 013 1CH 024 020 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah. 013 1CH 024 021 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. 013 1CH 024 022 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath. 013 1CH 024 023 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. 013 1CH 024 024 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir. 013 1CH 024 025 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah. 013 1CH 024 026 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno. 013 1CH 024 027 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. 013 1CH 024 028 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons. 013 1CH 024 029 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel. 013 1CH 024 030 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers. 013 1CH 024 031 These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the father’s houses of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers even as their younger brethren. 013 1CH 025 001 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was: 013 1CH 025 002 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king. 013 1CH 025 003 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD. 013 1CH 025 004 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth: 013 1CH 025 005 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. 013 1CH 025 006 All these were under the hands of their father to sing in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. 013 1CH 025 007 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were skilful, was two hundred and eighty and eight. 013 1CH 025 008 And they cast lots, for their duties, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. 013 1CH 025 009 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve: 013 1CH 025 010 The third to Zaccur, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 011 The fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 012 The fifth to Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 013 The sixth to Bukkiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 014 The seventh to Jesharelah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 015 The eighth to Jeshaiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 016 The ninth to Mattaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 017 The tenth to Shimei, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 018 The eleventh to Azareel, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 019 The twelfth to Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 020 The thirteenth to Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 021 The fourteenth to Mattithiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 022 The fifteenth to Jeremoth, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 023 The sixteenth to Hananiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 024 The seventeenth to Joshbekashah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 025 The eighteenth to Hanani, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 026 The nineteenth to Mallothi, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 027 The twentieth to Eliathah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 028 The one and twentieth to Hothir, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 029 The two and twentieth to Giddalti, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 030 The three and twentieth to Mahazioth, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 013 1CH 025 031 The four and twentieth to Romamtiezer, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve. 013 1CH 026 001 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. 013 1CH 026 002 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 013 1CH 026 003 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. 013 1CH 026 004 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth, 013 1CH 026 005 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him. 013 1CH 026 006 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour. 013 1CH 026 007 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 013 1CH 026 008 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were sixty and two of Obededom. 013 1CH 026 009 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen. 013 1CH 026 010 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief; ) 013 1CH 026 011 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen. 013 1CH 026 012 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having duties like one another, to minister in the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 026 013 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate. 013 1CH 026 014 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 013 1CH 026 015 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim. 013 1CH 026 016 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the way of the ascent, watch against watch. 013 1CH 026 017 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two. 013 1CH 026 018 At Parbar westward, four at the highway, and two at Parbar. 013 1CH 026 019 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari. 013 1CH 026 020 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and over the treasuries of the dedicated things. 013 1CH 026 021 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli. 013 1CH 026 022 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, who were over the treasuries of the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 026 023 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 013 1CH 026 024 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasuries. 013 1CH 026 025 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 013 1CH 026 026 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated. 013 1CH 026 027 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 026 028 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren. 013 1CH 026 029 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges. 013 1CH 026 030 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side of Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king. 013 1CH 026 031 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead. 013 1CH 026 032 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king. 013 1CH 027 001 Now the children of Israel after their number, that is, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 002 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 003 Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month. 013 1CH 027 004 And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 005 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 006 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son. 013 1CH 027 007 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 008 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 009 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 010 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 011 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 012 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 013 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 014 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 015 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 016 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah: 013 1CH 027 017 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok: 013 1CH 027 018 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael: 013 1CH 027 019 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel: 013 1CH 027 020 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: 013 1CH 027 021 Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner: 013 1CH 027 022 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel. 013 1CH 027 023 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the heavens. 013 1CH 027 024 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David. 013 1CH 027 025 And over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah: 013 1CH 027 026 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: 013 1CH 027 027 And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: 013 1CH 027 028 And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: 013 1CH 027 029 And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: 013 1CH 027 030 Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: 013 1CH 027 031 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s. 013 1CH 027 032 Also Jonathan David’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons: 013 1CH 027 033 And Ahithophel was the king’s counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king’s companion: 013 1CH 027 034 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king’s army was Joab. 013 1CH 028 001 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, to Jerusalem. 013 1CH 028 002 Then David the king stood upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in my heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: 013 1CH 028 003 But God said to me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood. 013 1CH 028 004 However the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel: 013 1CH 028 005 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. 013 1CH 028 006 And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 013 1CH 028 007 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he shall be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day. 013 1CH 028 008 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever. 013 1CH 028 009 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shalt forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 013 1CH 028 010 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. 013 1CH 028 011 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses of it, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner parlours and of the place of the mercy seat, 013 1CH 028 012 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the surrounding chambers, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things: 013 1CH 028 013 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 028 014 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service: 013 1CH 028 015 Even the weight for the lampstands of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every lampstand, and for its lamps: and for the lampstands of silver by weight, both for the lampstand, and also for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand. 013 1CH 028 016 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of showbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver: 013 1CH 028 017 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver: 013 1CH 028 018 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 013 1CH 028 019 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern. 013 1CH 028 020 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 028 021 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy command. 013 1CH 029 001 Furthermore David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. 013 1CH 029 002 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glittering stones, and of various colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. 013 1CH 029 003 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of my own possessions, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, 013 1CH 029 004 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses: 013 1CH 029 005 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of craftsmen. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day to the LORD? 013 1CH 029 006 Then the heads of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly, 013 1CH 029 007 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 013 1CH 029 008 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 013 1CH 029 009 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 013 1CH 029 010 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 013 1CH 029 011 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and on the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 013 1CH 029 012 Both riches and honour come from thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thy hand is power and might; and in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all. 013 1CH 029 013 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 013 1CH 029 014 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come from thee, and of thy own have we given thee. 013 1CH 029 015 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding. 013 1CH 029 016 O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build thee an house for thy holy name cometh from thy hand, and is all thy own. 013 1CH 029 017 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, who are present here, to offer willingly to thee. 013 1CH 029 018 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart to thee: 013 1CH 029 019 And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision. 013 1CH 029 020 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. 013 1CH 029 021 And they sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, on the day following that day, even a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel: 013 1CH 029 022 And ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest. 013 1CH 029 023 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. 013 1CH 029 024 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king. 013 1CH 029 025 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. 013 1CH 029 026 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 013 1CH 029 027 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty and three years he reigned in Jerusalem. 013 1CH 029 028 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. 013 1CH 029 029 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, 013 1CH 029 030 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries. # # BOOK 014 2CH 2 Chronicles 2 Chronicles 014 2CH 001 001 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 014 2CH 001 002 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the heads of the father’s houses. 014 2CH 001 003 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 014 2CH 001 004 But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 014 2CH 001 005 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought for it. 014 2CH 001 006 And Solomon went up there to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 014 2CH 001 007 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee. 014 2CH 001 008 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 014 2CH 001 009 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 014 2CH 001 010 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people? 014 2CH 001 011 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thy enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 014 2CH 001 012 Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 014 2CH 001 013 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. 014 2CH 001 014 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 014 2CH 001 015 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 014 2CH 001 016 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 014 2CH 001 017 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so they brought out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means. 014 2CH 002 001 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 014 2CH 002 002 And Solomon numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. 014 2CH 002 003 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell in, even so deal with me. 014 2CH 002 004 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 014 2CH 002 005 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. 014 2CH 002 006 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, except only to burn sacrifice before him? 014 2CH 002 007 Send me now therefore a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to engrave with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. 014 2CH 002 008 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, 014 2CH 002 009 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful. 014 2CH 002 010 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. 014 2CH 002 011 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. 014 2CH 002 012 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that may build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 014 2CH 002 013 And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s, 014 2CH 002 014 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father. 014 2CH 002 015 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send to his servants: 014 2CH 002 016 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou mayest convey it to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 002 017 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering which David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. 014 2CH 002 018 And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people to work. 014 2CH 003 001 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 014 2CH 003 002 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 014 2CH 003 003 Now these are the things in which Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 014 2CH 003 004 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 014 2CH 003 005 And the greater house he panelled with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm trees and chains. 014 2CH 003 006 And he adorned the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 014 2CH 003 007 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls. 014 2CH 003 008 And he made the most holy house, the length of which was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 014 2CH 003 009 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. 014 2CH 003 010 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold. 014 2CH 003 011 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. 014 2CH 003 012 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. 014 2CH 003 013 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. 014 2CH 003 014 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim on it. 014 2CH 003 015 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 014 2CH 003 016 And he made chains, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 014 2CH 003 017 And he erected the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. 014 2CH 004 001 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the height of it. 014 2CH 004 002 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape, and five cubits the height of it; and a line of thirty cubits around it. 014 2CH 004 003 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which surrounded it: ten in a cubit, surrounding the sea. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 014 2CH 004 004 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their back parts were inward. 014 2CH 004 005 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths. 014 2CH 004 006 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 014 2CH 004 007 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 014 2CH 004 008 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basins of gold. 014 2CH 004 009 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 014 2CH 004 010 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, toward the south. 014 2CH 004 011 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 014 2CH 004 012 That is, the two pillars, and the bowls, and the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 014 2CH 004 013 And four hundred pomegranates on the two networks; two rows of pomegranates on each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the pillars. 014 2CH 004 014 He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases; 014 2CH 004 015 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 014 2CH 004 016 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass. 014 2CH 004 017 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 014 2CH 004 018 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be known. 014 2CH 004 019 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the showbread was set; 014 2CH 004 020 Moreover the lampstands with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; 014 2CH 004 021 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; 014 2CH 004 022 And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold. 014 2CH 005 001 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, he put in the treasuries of the house of God. 014 2CH 005 002 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which is Zion. 014 2CH 005 003 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. 014 2CH 005 004 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 014 2CH 005 005 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up. 014 2CH 005 006 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude. 014 2CH 005 007 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, to the inner sanctuary of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim: 014 2CH 005 008 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staffs of it above. 014 2CH 005 009 And they drew out the staffs of the ark, that the ends of the staffs were seen from the ark before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen without. And there it is to this day. 014 2CH 005 010 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses put in it at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 014 2CH 005 011 And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: 014 2CH 005 012 Also the Levites who were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets: ) 014 2CH 005 013 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 014 2CH 005 014 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. 014 2CH 006 001 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 014 2CH 006 002 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 014 2CH 006 003 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. 014 2CH 006 004 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying, 014 2CH 006 005 Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: 014 2CH 006 006 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 014 2CH 006 007 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 014 2CH 006 008 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart: 014 2CH 006 009 However thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. 014 2CH 006 010 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am raised up in the stead of David my father, and am seated on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 014 2CH 006 011 And in it have I put the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel. 014 2CH 006 012 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands: 014 2CH 006 013 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven, 014 2CH 006 014 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor on the earth; who keepest covenant, and showest mercy to thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 014 2CH 006 015 Thou who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and hast spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day. 014 2CH 006 016 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. 014 2CH 006 017 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David. 014 2CH 006 018 But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! 014 2CH 006 019 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: 014 2CH 006 020 That thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place. 014 2CH 006 021 Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive. 014 2CH 006 022 If a man shall sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath shall come before thy altar in this house; 014 2CH 006 023 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by punishing the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. 014 2CH 006 024 And if thy people Israel are defeated by the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house; 014 2CH 006 025 Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers. 014 2CH 006 026 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them; 014 2CH 006 027 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, in which they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. 014 2CH 006 028 If there shall be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blighting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity or whatever sickness there be: 014 2CH 006 029 Then whatever prayer or whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, when every one shall know his own calamity and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house: 014 2CH 006 030 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: ) 014 2CH 006 031 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers. 014 2CH 006 032 Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy outstretched arm; if they come and pray in this house; 014 2CH 006 033 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 014 2CH 006 034 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name; 014 2CH 006 035 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 014 2CH 006 036 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man who sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near; 014 2CH 006 037 Yet if they take it to their hearts in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; 014 2CH 006 038 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: 014 2CH 006 039 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee. 014 2CH 006 040 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and let thy ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. 014 2CH 006 041 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. 014 2CH 006 042 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant. 014 2CH 007 001 Now when Solomon had finished praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 014 2CH 007 002 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’S house. 014 2CH 007 003 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 014 2CH 007 004 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 014 2CH 007 005 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 014 2CH 007 006 And the priests stood at their posts: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 014 2CH 007 007 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 014 2CH 007 008 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt. 014 2CH 007 009 And on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 014 2CH 007 010 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 014 2CH 007 011 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. 014 2CH 007 012 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 014 2CH 007 013 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 014 2CH 007 014 If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 014 2CH 007 015 Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. 014 2CH 007 016 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 014 2CH 007 017 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 014 2CH 007 018 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 014 2CH 007 019 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 014 2CH 007 020 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 014 2CH 007 021 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house? 014 2CH 007 022 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them. 014 2CH 008 001 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 014 2CH 008 002 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 014 2CH 008 003 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it. 014 2CH 008 004 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. 014 2CH 008 005 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 014 2CH 008 006 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion. 014 2CH 008 007 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, 014 2CH 008 008 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon force to pay tribute until this day. 014 2CH 008 009 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen. 014 2CH 008 010 And these were the chief of king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bore rule over the people. 014 2CH 008 011 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David to the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, where the ark of the LORD hath come. 014 2CH 008 012 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 014 2CH 008 013 As the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. 014 2CH 008 014 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. 014 2CH 008 015 And they departed not from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasuries. 014 2CH 008 016 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected. 014 2CH 008 017 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 014 2CH 008 018 And Huram sent to him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. 014 2CH 009 001 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart. 014 2CH 009 002 And Solomon answered her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not. 014 2CH 009 003 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 014 2CH 009 004 And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. 014 2CH 009 005 And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom: 014 2CH 009 006 Yet I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard. 014 2CH 009 007 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 014 2CH 009 008 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice. 014 2CH 009 009 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 014 2CH 009 010 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones. 014 2CH 009 011 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah. 014 2CH 009 012 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants. 014 2CH 009 013 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold; 014 2CH 009 014 Besides that which traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 014 2CH 009 015 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one shield. 014 2CH 009 016 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 014 2CH 009 017 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 014 2CH 009 018 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays: 014 2CH 009 019 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom. 014 2CH 009 020 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not considered as any thing in the days of Solomon. 014 2CH 009 021 For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 014 2CH 009 022 And king Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 014 2CH 009 023 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart. 014 2CH 009 024 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, at a certain rate year by year. 014 2CH 009 025 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 014 2CH 009 026 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. 014 2CH 009 027 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance. 014 2CH 009 028 And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all lands. 014 2CH 009 029 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 014 2CH 009 030 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 014 2CH 009 031 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 010 001 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come to make him king. 014 2CH 010 002 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned from Egypt. 014 2CH 010 003 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 014 2CH 010 004 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 014 2CH 010 005 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed. 014 2CH 010 006 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people? 014 2CH 010 007 And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. 014 2CH 010 008 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him. 014 2CH 010 009 And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father put upon us? 014 2CH 010 010 And the young men that were brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s thighs. 014 2CH 010 011 For though my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 014 2CH 010 012 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king appointed, saying, Come again to me on the third day. 014 2CH 010 013 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 014 2CH 010 014 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 014 2CH 010 015 So the king hearkened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 014 2CH 010 016 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thy own house. So all Israel went to their tents. 014 2CH 010 017 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 014 2CH 010 018 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the forced labour; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 010 019 And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day. 014 2CH 011 001 And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 014 2CH 011 002 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 014 2CH 011 003 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 014 2CH 011 004 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done by me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam. 014 2CH 011 005 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah. 014 2CH 011 006 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 014 2CH 011 007 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 014 2CH 011 008 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, 014 2CH 011 009 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 014 2CH 011 010 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fortified cities. 014 2CH 011 011 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of food, and of oil and wine. 014 2CH 011 012 And in every single city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 014 2CH 011 013 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all their land. 014 2CH 011 014 For the Levites left their common lands and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office to the LORD: 014 2CH 011 015 And he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the demons, and for the calves which he had made. 014 2CH 011 016 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers. 014 2CH 011 017 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon. 014 2CH 011 018 And Rehoboam took to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; 014 2CH 011 019 Who bore him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. 014 2CH 011 020 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 014 2CH 011 021 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.) 014 2CH 011 022 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king. 014 2CH 011 023 And he dealt wisely, and distributed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired many wives. 014 2CH 012 001 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. 014 2CH 012 002 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, 014 2CH 012 003 With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Cushites. 014 2CH 012 004 And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 012 005 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 014 2CH 012 006 Upon which the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 014 2CH 012 007 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 014 2CH 012 008 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 014 2CH 012 009 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 014 2CH 012 010 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house. 014 2CH 012 011 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. 014 2CH 012 012 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well. 014 2CH 012 013 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 014 2CH 012 014 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. 014 2CH 012 015 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 014 2CH 012 016 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 013 001 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 014 2CH 013 002 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 014 2CH 013 003 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 014 2CH 013 004 And Abijah stood upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; 014 2CH 013 005 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 014 2CH 013 006 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, hath risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 014 2CH 013 007 And there are gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, and they have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. 014 2CH 013 008 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. 014 2CH 013 009 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have appointed priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 014 2CH 013 010 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister to the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: 014 2CH 013 011 And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the showbread also they set in order upon the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him. 014 2CH 013 012 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 014 2CH 013 013 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. 014 2CH 013 014 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 014 2CH 013 015 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 014 2CH 013 016 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. 014 2CH 013 017 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. 014 2CH 013 018 Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. 014 2CH 013 019 And Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephrain with its towns. 014 2CH 013 020 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. 014 2CH 013 021 But Abijah became mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. 014 2CH 013 022 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo. 014 2CH 014 001 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. 014 2CH 014 002 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: 014 2CH 014 003 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves: 014 2CH 014 004 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. 014 2CH 014 005 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. 014 2CH 014 006 And he built fortified cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest. 014 2CH 014 007 Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered. 014 2CH 014 008 And Asa had an army of men that bore shields and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valour. 014 2CH 014 009 And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite with an host of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah. 014 2CH 014 010 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 014 2CH 014 011 And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 014 2CH 014 012 So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled. 014 2CH 014 013 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Cushites were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil. 014 2CH 014 014 And they smote all the cities about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they smote all the cities; for there was very much spoil in them. 014 2CH 014 015 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 015 001 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 014 2CH 015 002 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 014 2CH 015 003 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 014 2CH 015 004 But when they in their trouble returned to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them. 014 2CH 015 005 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 014 2CH 015 006 And nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city: for God troubled them with all adversity. 014 2CH 015 007 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. 014 2CH 015 008 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and repaired the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD. 014 2CH 015 009 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they resorted to him out of Israel in multitudes, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. 014 2CH 015 010 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 014 2CH 015 011 And they offered to the LORD at the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 014 2CH 015 012 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 014 2CH 015 013 That whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 014 2CH 015 014 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 014 2CH 015 015 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them: and the LORD gave them rest on all sides. 014 2CH 015 016 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. 014 2CH 015 017 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 014 2CH 015 018 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 014 2CH 015 019 And there was no more war until the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. 014 2CH 016 001 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 014 2CH 016 002 Then Asa brought silver and gold out of the treasuries of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 014 2CH 016 003 There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 014 2CH 016 004 And Benhadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali. 014 2CH 016 005 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building of Ramah, and let his work cease. 014 2CH 016 006 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Baasha was building; and he built with it Geba and Mizpah. 014 2CH 016 007 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore hath the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand. 014 2CH 016 008 Were not the Cushites and the Lubims a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thy hand. 014 2CH 016 009 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. In this thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 014 2CH 016 010 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time. 014 2CH 016 011 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 014 2CH 016 012 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was very grievous: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 014 2CH 016 013 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 014 2CH 016 014 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art: and they made a very great burning for him. 014 2CH 017 001 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel. 014 2CH 017 002 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. 014 2CH 017 003 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim; 014 2CH 017 004 But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. 014 2CH 017 005 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honour in abundance. 014 2CH 017 006 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. 014 2CH 017 007 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 014 2CH 017 008 And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 014 2CH 017 009 And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. 014 2CH 017 010 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 014 2CH 017 011 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats. 014 2CH 017 012 And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store. 014 2CH 017 013 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 017 014 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand. 014 2CH 017 015 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand. 014 2CH 017 016 And next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour. 014 2CH 017 017 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand. 014 2CH 017 018 And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war. 014 2CH 017 019 These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah. 014 2CH 018 001 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and allied himself with Ahab by marriage. 014 2CH 018 002 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. 014 2CH 018 003 And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. 014 2CH 018 004 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 014 2CH 018 005 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand. 014 2CH 018 006 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may enquire of him? 014 2CH 018 007 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 014 2CH 018 008 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 014 2CH 018 009 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat each of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 014 2CH 018 010 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they shall be consumed. 014 2CH 018 011 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 014 2CH 018 012 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one consent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. 014 2CH 018 013 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. 014 2CH 018 014 And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. 014 2CH 018 015 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? 014 2CH 018 016 Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 014 2CH 018 017 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good to me, but evil? 014 2CH 018 018 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 014 2CH 018 019 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 014 2CH 018 020 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said to him, How? 014 2CH 018 021 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. 014 2CH 018 022 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee. 014 2CH 018 023 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to thee? 014 2CH 018 024 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 014 2CH 018 025 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son; 014 2CH 018 026 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace. 014 2CH 018 027 And Micaiah said, If thou shalt certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. 014 2CH 018 028 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. 014 2CH 018 029 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle. 014 2CH 018 030 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, except only with the king of Israel. 014 2CH 018 031 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they surrounded him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. 014 2CH 018 032 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him. 014 2CH 018 033 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armour: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thy hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. 014 2CH 018 034 And the battle increased that day: yet the king of Israel held himself in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun setting he died. 014 2CH 019 001 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 019 002 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. 014 2CH 019 003 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thy heart to seek God. 014 2CH 019 004 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD God of their fathers. 014 2CH 019 005 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, 014 2CH 019 006 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. 014 2CH 019 007 Therefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes. 014 2CH 019 008 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 019 009 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 014 2CH 019 010 And whatever cause shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass. 014 2CH 019 011 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good. 014 2CH 020 001 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them others besides the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 014 2CH 020 002 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side of Syria; and, behold, they are in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi. 014 2CH 020 003 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 014 2CH 020 004 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD. 014 2CH 020 005 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, 014 2CH 020 006 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thy hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? 014 2CH 020 007 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? 014 2CH 020 008 And they dwelt in it, and have built thee a sanctuary in it for thy name, saying, 014 2CH 020 009 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house, ) and cry to thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. 014 2CH 020 010 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came from the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 014 2CH 020 011 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. 014 2CH 020 012 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 014 2CH 020 013 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. 014 2CH 020 014 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation; 014 2CH 020 015 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD to you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 014 2CH 020 016 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 014 2CH 020 017 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. 014 2CH 020 018 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. 014 2CH 020 019 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. 014 2CH 020 020 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 014 2CH 020 021 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 014 2CH 020 022 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 014 2CH 020 023 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. 014 2CH 020 024 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked to the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. 014 2CH 020 025 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering the spoil, it was so much. 014 2CH 020 026 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place hath been called, The valley of Berachah, to this day. 014 2CH 020 027 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies. 014 2CH 020 028 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets to the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 020 029 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel. 014 2CH 020 030 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest on all sides. 014 2CH 020 031 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 014 2CH 020 032 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD. 014 2CH 020 033 But the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts to the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 020 034 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel. 014 2CH 020 035 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: 014 2CH 020 036 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongeber. 014 2CH 020 037 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. 014 2CH 021 001 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 021 002 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 014 2CH 021 003 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn. 014 2CH 021 004 Now when Jehoram had risen to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and others also of the princes of Israel. 014 2CH 021 005 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 021 006 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab for a wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD. 014 2CH 021 007 Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever. 014 2CH 021 008 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. 014 2CH 021 009 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots. 014 2CH 021 010 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers. 014 2CH 021 011 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and compelled Judah to do the same. 014 2CH 021 012 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 014 2CH 021 013 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like the harlotries of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, who were better than thyself: 014 2CH 021 014 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: 014 2CH 021 015 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day. 014 2CH 021 016 Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Cushites: 014 2CH 021 017 And they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was not a son left to him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. 014 2CH 021 018 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 014 2CH 021 019 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of grievous diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 014 2CH 021 020 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Yet they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 014 2CH 022 001 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. 014 2CH 022 002 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. 014 2CH 022 003 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly. 014 2CH 022 004 Therefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction. 014 2CH 022 005 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram. 014 2CH 022 006 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick. 014 2CH 022 007 And the destruction of Ahaziah was from God by coming to Joram: for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. 014 2CH 022 008 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them. 014 2CH 022 009 And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria, ) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to retain the kingdom. 014 2CH 022 010 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah. 014 2CH 022 011 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah, ) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not. 014 2CH 022 012 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land. 014 2CH 023 001 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him. 014 2CH 023 002 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 023 003 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David. 014 2CH 023 004 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors; 014 2CH 023 005 And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 023 006 But let none come into the house of the LORD, except the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD. 014 2CH 023 007 And the Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. 014 2CH 023 008 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. 014 2CH 023 009 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God. 014 2CH 023 010 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king on all sides. 014 2CH 023 011 Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king. 014 2CH 023 012 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD: 014 2CH 023 013 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason. 014 2CH 023 014 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks: and whoever followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 023 015 So they laid hands on her; and when she had come to the entrance of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there. 014 2CH 023 016 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’S people. 014 2CH 023 017 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 014 2CH 023 018 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David. 014 2CH 023 019 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter. 014 2CH 023 020 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. 014 2CH 023 021 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after they had slain Athaliah with the sword. 014 2CH 024 001 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Zibiah of Beersheba. 014 2CH 024 002 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 014 2CH 024 003 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters. 014 2CH 024 004 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 024 005 And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened it not. 014 2CH 024 006 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness? 014 2CH 024 007 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD they bestowed upon Baalim. 014 2CH 024 008 And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 024 009 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness. 014 2CH 024 010 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had finished. 014 2CH 024 011 Now it came to pass, that at the time the chest was brought to the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and assembled money in abundance. 014 2CH 024 012 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 024 013 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in order, and strengthened it. 014 2CH 024 014 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer with, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada. 014 2CH 024 015 But Jehoiada grew old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. 014 2CH 024 016 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house. 014 2CH 024 017 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened to them. 014 2CH 024 018 And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. 014 2CH 024 019 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. 014 2CH 024 020 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you. 014 2CH 024 021 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 024 022 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it. 014 2CH 024 023 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king of Damascus. 014 2CH 024 024 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash. 014 2CH 024 025 And when they had departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings. 014 2CH 024 026 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. 014 2CH 024 027 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 025 001 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 025 002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart. 014 2CH 025 003 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father. 014 2CH 025 004 But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law of the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. 014 2CH 025 005 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield. 014 2CH 025 006 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver. 014 2CH 025 007 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, that is, with all the children of Ephraim. 014 2CH 025 008 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down. 014 2CH 025 009 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this. 014 2CH 025 010 Then Amaziah separated them, that is, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger. 014 2CH 025 011 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand. 014 2CH 025 012 And other ten thousand left alive the children of Judah carried away captive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they were all broken in pieces. 014 2CH 025 013 But the soldiers of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil. 014 2CH 025 014 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed himself before them, and burned incense to them. 014 2CH 025 015 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thy hand? 014 2CH 025 016 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, Art thou made of the king’s council? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel. 014 2CH 025 017 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face. 014 2CH 025 018 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle. 014 2CH 025 019 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thy heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thy harm, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 014 2CH 025 020 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came from God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom. 014 2CH 025 021 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 014 2CH 025 022 And Judah was smote before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent. 014 2CH 025 023 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. 014 2CH 025 024 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. 014 2CH 025 025 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 014 2CH 025 026 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? 014 2CH 025 027 Now after the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there. 014 2CH 025 028 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah. 014 2CH 026 001 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 014 2CH 026 002 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers. 014 2CH 026 003 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 026 004 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did. 014 2CH 026 005 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. 014 2CH 026 006 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 014 2CH 026 007 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims. 014 2CH 026 008 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly. 014 2CH 026 009 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. 014 2CH 026 010 Also he built towers in the desert, and dug many wells: for he had many cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: farmers also, and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved the soil. 014 2CH 026 011 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 014 2CH 026 012 The whole number of the heads of the father’s houses of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred. 014 2CH 026 013 And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. 014 2CH 026 014 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones. 014 2CH 026 015 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong. 014 2CH 026 016 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 014 2CH 026 017 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, that were valiant men: 014 2CH 026 018 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It appertaineth not to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thy honour from the LORD God. 014 2CH 026 019 Then Uzziah was angry, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. 014 2CH 026 020 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from there; yea, himself hastened also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. 014 2CH 026 021 And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. 014 2CH 026 022 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 014 2CH 026 023 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 027 001 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok. 014 2CH 027 002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: yet he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly. 014 2CH 027 003 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 014 2CH 027 004 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 014 2CH 027 005 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay to him, both the second year, and the third. 014 2CH 027 006 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 014 2CH 027 007 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 014 2CH 027 008 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 027 009 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 028 001 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father: 014 2CH 028 002 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. 014 2CH 028 003 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 014 2CH 028 004 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 014 2CH 028 005 Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. 014 2CH 028 006 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, who were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. 014 2CH 028 007 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king. 014 2CH 028 008 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 014 2CH 028 009 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth to heaven. 014 2CH 028 010 And now ye purpose to bring into bondage for yourselves the children of Judah and Jerusalem for male and female slaves: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God? 014 2CH 028 011 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you. 014 2CH 028 012 Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war, 014 2CH 028 013 And said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives here: for though we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel. 014 2CH 028 014 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation. 014 2CH 028 015 And the men who were mentioned by name arose, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them food and drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria. 014 2CH 028 016 At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him. 014 2CH 028 017 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives. 014 2CH 028 018 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, Gimzo also and its villages: and they dwelt there. 014 2CH 028 019 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and greatly transgressed against the LORD. 014 2CH 028 020 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 014 2CH 028 021 For Ahaz took away a portion from the house of the LORD, and from the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but he helped him not. 014 2CH 028 022 And in the time of his distress he trespassed yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz. 014 2CH 028 023 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 014 2CH 028 024 And Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 028 025 And in every single city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers. 014 2CH 028 026 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 014 2CH 028 027 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 029 001 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 014 2CH 029 002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done. 014 2CH 029 003 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them. 014 2CH 029 004 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them in the east street, 014 2CH 029 005 And said to them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place. 014 2CH 029 006 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs. 014 2CH 029 007 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 014 2CH 029 008 Therefore the wrath of the LORD hath been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 014 2CH 029 009 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 014 2CH 029 010 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 014 2CH 029 011 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister to him, and burn incense. 014 2CH 029 012 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah: 014 2CH 029 013 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah: 014 2CH 029 014 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. 014 2CH 029 015 And they assembled their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 029 016 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron. 014 2CH 029 017 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished. 014 2CH 029 018 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the showbread table, with all its vessels. 014 2CH 029 019 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD. 014 2CH 029 020 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and assembled the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 029 021 And they brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD. 014 2CH 029 022 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 014 2CH 029 023 And they brought forth the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them: 014 2CH 029 024 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel. 014 2CH 029 025 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets. 014 2CH 029 026 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 014 2CH 029 027 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel. 014 2CH 029 028 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 014 2CH 029 029 And when they had finished offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped. 014 2CH 029 030 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped. 014 2CH 029 031 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings. 014 2CH 029 032 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bulls, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD. 014 2CH 029 033 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 014 2CH 029 034 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. 014 2CH 029 035 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order. 014 2CH 029 036 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly. 014 2CH 030 001 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel. 014 2CH 030 002 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month. 014 2CH 030 003 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together at Jerusalem. 014 2CH 030 004 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation. 014 2CH 030 005 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in the manner as it was written. 014 2CH 030 006 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 014 2CH 030 007 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 014 2CH 030 008 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. 014 2CH 030 009 For if ye turn again to the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall return into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return to him. 014 2CH 030 010 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even to Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. 014 2CH 030 011 Nevertheless some from Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 030 012 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD. 014 2CH 030 013 And there assembled at Jerusalem many people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. 014 2CH 030 014 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense they took away, and cast them into the brook Kidron. 014 2CH 030 015 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 030 016 And they stood in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites. 014 2CH 030 017 For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD. 014 2CH 030 018 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one 014 2CH 030 019 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary. 014 2CH 030 020 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. 014 2CH 030 021 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD. 014 2CH 030 022 And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers. 014 2CH 030 023 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness. 014 2CH 030 024 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. 014 2CH 030 025 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. 014 2CH 030 026 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 030 027 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer ascended to his holy dwelling place, even to heaven. 014 2CH 031 001 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities. 014 2CH 031 002 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD. 014 2CH 031 003 He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD. 014 2CH 031 004 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD. 014 2CH 031 005 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things they brought in abundantly. 014 2CH 031 006 And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps. 014 2CH 031 007 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. 014 2CH 031 008 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel. 014 2CH 031 009 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 014 2CH 031 010 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great abundance. 014 2CH 031 011 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them, 014 2CH 031 012 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next. 014 2CH 031 013 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. 014 2CH 031 014 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things. 014 2CH 031 015 And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small: 014 2CH 031 016 Besides their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even to every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses; 014 2CH 031 017 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses; 014 2CH 031 018 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness: 014 2CH 031 019 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common lands of their cities, in every single city, the men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites. 014 2CH 031 020 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and performed that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God. 014 2CH 031 021 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered. 014 2CH 032 001 After these things, and their establishment, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself. 014 2CH 032 002 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he purposed to fight against Jerusalem, 014 2CH 032 003 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were outside the city: and they helped him. 014 2CH 032 004 So there was gathered many people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water? 014 2CH 032 005 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance. 014 2CH 032 006 And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and encouraged them, saying, 014 2CH 032 007 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are more with us than with him: 014 2CH 032 008 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 014 2CH 032 009 After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him, ) to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, 014 2CH 032 010 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, On what do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? 014 2CH 032 011 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 014 2CH 032 012 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it? 014 2CH 032 013 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of my hand? 014 2CH 032 014 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand? 014 2CH 032 015 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand? 014 2CH 032 016 And his servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 014 2CH 032 017 He wrote also letters to rail at the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. 014 2CH 032 018 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ speech to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to make them afraid, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. 014 2CH 032 019 And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the work of the hands of man. 014 2CH 032 020 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. 014 2CH 032 021 And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he had come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword. 014 2CH 032 022 Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side. 014 2CH 032 023 And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that from then on he was magnified in the sight of all nations. 014 2CH 032 024 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near to death, and he prayed to the LORD: and he spoke to him, and he gave him a sign. 014 2CH 032 025 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 032 026 However Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 014 2CH 032 027 And Hezekiah had very great riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels; 014 2CH 032 028 Storehouses also for the increase of grain, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and sheepfolds for flocks. 014 2CH 032 029 Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance in great abundance. 014 2CH 032 030 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 014 2CH 032 031 But in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. 014 2CH 032 032 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 014 2CH 032 033 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chief of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 033 001 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem: 014 2CH 033 002 But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 014 2CH 033 003 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 014 2CH 033 004 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 014 2CH 033 005 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 033 006 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a medium, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 014 2CH 033 007 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever: 014 2CH 033 008 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses. 014 2CH 033 009 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel. 014 2CH 033 010 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken. 014 2CH 033 011 Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 014 2CH 033 012 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 014 2CH 033 013 And prayed to him: and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he is God. 014 2CH 033 014 Now after this he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate, and surrounded Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah. 014 2CH 033 015 And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 014 2CH 033 016 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel. 014 2CH 033 017 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, yet to the LORD their God only. 014 2CH 033 018 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. 014 2CH 033 019 His prayer also, and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers. 014 2CH 033 020 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 033 021 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 033 022 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them; 014 2CH 033 023 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. 014 2CH 033 024 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 014 2CH 033 025 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. 014 2CH 034 001 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years. 014 2CH 034 002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left. 014 2CH 034 003 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images. 014 2CH 034 004 And they broke down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and scattered it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them. 014 2CH 034 005 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 006 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their surrounding ruins. 014 2CH 034 007 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 008 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God. 014 2CH 034 009 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had assembled from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 010 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and restore the house: 014 2CH 034 011 Even to the craftsmen and builders they gave it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. 014 2CH 034 012 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to oversee it; and others of the Levites, all that had skill in instruments of music. 014 2CH 034 013 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters. 014 2CH 034 014 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given by Moses. 014 2CH 034 015 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. 014 2CH 034 016 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they are doing. 014 2CH 034 017 And they have gathered the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen. 014 2CH 034 018 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 014 2CH 034 019 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes. 014 2CH 034 020 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying, 014 2CH 034 021 Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book. 014 2CH 034 022 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter: ) and they spoke to her to that effect. 014 2CH 034 023 And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, 014 2CH 034 024 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah: 014 2CH 034 025 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched. 014 2CH 034 026 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard; 014 2CH 034 027 Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou didst hear his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD. 014 2CH 034 028 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thy eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again. 014 2CH 034 029 Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 030 And the king went into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 034 031 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book. 014 2CH 034 032 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 034 033 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 035 001 Moreover Josiah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 014 2CH 035 002 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD, 014 2CH 035 003 And said to the Levites that taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel, 014 2CH 035 004 And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. 014 2CH 035 005 And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites. 014 2CH 035 006 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 014 2CH 035 007 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand cattle: these were of the king’s substance. 014 2CH 035 008 And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. 014 2CH 035 009 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen. 014 2CH 035 010 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king’s commandment. 014 2CH 035 011 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them. 014 2CH 035 012 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen. 014 2CH 035 013 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings they boiled in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people. 014 2CH 035 014 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. 014 2CH 035 015 And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 014 2CH 035 016 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah. 014 2CH 035 017 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 014 2CH 035 018 And there was no passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 035 019 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept. 014 2CH 035 020 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. 014 2CH 035 021 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he may not destroy thee. 014 2CH 035 022 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. 014 2CH 035 023 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Take me away; for I am grievously wounded. 014 2CH 035 024 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. 014 2CH 035 025 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women have spoken of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations. 014 2CH 035 026 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD, 014 2CH 035 027 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 014 2CH 036 001 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s stead in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 002 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 003 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 014 2CH 036 004 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt. 014 2CH 036 005 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God. 014 2CH 036 006 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. 014 2CH 036 007 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. 014 2CH 036 008 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 014 2CH 036 009 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. 014 2CH 036 010 And when the year had ended, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 011 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 012 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD. 014 2CH 036 013 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning to the LORD God of Israel. 014 2CH 036 014 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 015 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: 014 2CH 036 016 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy. 014 2CH 036 017 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand. 014 2CH 036 018 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon. 014 2CH 036 019 And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious vessels. 014 2CH 036 020 And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: 014 2CH 036 021 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths: for as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years. 014 2CH 036 022 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 014 2CH 036 023 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up. # # BOOK 015 EZR Ezra Ezra 015 EZR 001 001 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 015 EZR 001 002 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 015 EZR 001 003 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God, ) who is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 001 004 And whoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 001 005 Then arose the heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 001 006 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. 015 EZR 001 007 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods; 015 EZR 001 008 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. 015 EZR 001 009 And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives, 015 EZR 001 010 Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. 015 EZR 001 011 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring with them of the captivity that were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem. 015 EZR 002 001 Now these are the children of the province that went up from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and came again to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his city; 015 EZR 002 002 Who came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 015 EZR 002 003 The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred and seventy and two. 015 EZR 002 004 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy and two. 015 EZR 002 005 The children of Arah, seven hundred and seventy and five. 015 EZR 002 006 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve. 015 EZR 002 007 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred and fifty and four. 015 EZR 002 008 The children of Zattu, nine hundred and forty and five. 015 EZR 002 009 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty. 015 EZR 002 010 The children of Bani, six hundred and forty and two. 015 EZR 002 011 The children of Bebai, six hundred and twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 012 The children of Azgad, a thousand two hundred and twenty and two. 015 EZR 002 013 The children of Adonikam, six hundred and sixty and six. 015 EZR 002 014 The children of Bigvai, two thousand fifty and six. 015 EZR 002 015 The children of Adin, four hundred and fifty and four. 015 EZR 002 016 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. 015 EZR 002 017 The children of Bezai, three hundred and twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 018 The children of Jorah, an hundred and twelve. 015 EZR 002 019 The children of Hashum, two hundred and twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 020 The children of Gibbar, ninety and five. 015 EZR 002 021 The children of Bethlehem, an hundred and twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 022 The men of Netophah, fifty and six. 015 EZR 002 023 The men of Anathoth, an hundred and twenty and eight. 015 EZR 002 024 The children of Azmaveth, forty and two. 015 EZR 002 025 The children of Kirjatharim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty and three. 015 EZR 002 026 The children of

children of Asaph, an hundred and twenty and eight. 015 EZR 002 042 The children of the porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, in all an hundred and thirty and nine. 015 EZR 002 043 The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth, 015 EZR 002 044 The children of Keros, the children of Siaha, the children of Padon, 015 EZR 002 045 The children of Lebanah, the children of Hagabah, the children of Akkub, 015 EZR 002 046 The children of Hagab, the children of Shalmai, the children of Hanan, 015 EZR 002 047 The children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, the children of Reaiah, 015 EZR 002 048 The children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, the children of Gazzam, 015 EZR 002 049 The children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, the children of Besai, 015 EZR 002 050 The children of Asnah, the children of Mehunim, the children of Nephusim, 015 EZR 002 051 The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, 015 EZR 002 052 The children of Bazluth, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, 015 EZR 002 053 The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Thamah, 015 EZR 002 054 The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. 015 EZR 002 055 The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Peruda, 015 EZR 002 056 The children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, 015 EZR 002 057 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Ami. 015 EZR 002 058 All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred and ninety and two. 015 EZR 002 059 And these were they who went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not show their father’s house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: 015 EZR 002 060 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty and two. 015 EZR 002 061 And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: 015 EZR 002 062 These sought their family record among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 015 EZR 002 063 And the Tirshatha said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim. 015 EZR 002 064 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and sixty, 015 EZR 002 065 Besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred men and women singers. 015 EZR 002 066 Their horses were seven hundred and thirty and six; their mules, two hundred and forty and five; 015 EZR 002 067 Their camels, four hundred and thirty and five; their donkeys, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 015 EZR 002 068 And some of the heads of the fathers’ houses, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in its place: 015 EZR 002 069 They gave after their ability into the treasury of the work sixty and one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments. 015 EZR 002 070 So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities. 015 EZR 003 001 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man at Jerusalem. 015 EZR 003 002 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. 015 EZR 003 003 And they set the altar upon its bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening. 015 EZR 003 004 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required; 015 EZR 003 005 And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD. 015 EZR 003 006 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid. 015 EZR 003 007 They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, to them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia. 015 EZR 003 008 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD. 015 EZR 003 009 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites. 015 EZR 003 010 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. 015 EZR 003 011 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks to the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. 015 EZR 003 012 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: 015 EZR 003 013 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of the joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off. 015 EZR 004 001 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building the temple to the LORD God of Israel; 015 EZR 004 002 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of the fathers, and said to them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we sacrifice to him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, who brought us up here. 015 EZR 004 003 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of the fathers of Israel, said to them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. 015 EZR 004 004 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, 015 EZR 004 005 And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. 015 EZR 004 006 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote to him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 015 EZR 004 007 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian language, and interpreted in the Syrian language. 015 EZR 004 008 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort: 015 EZR 004 009 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites, 015 EZR 004 010 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side of the river, and now. 015 EZR 004 011 this is the copy of the letter that they sent to him, even to Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side of the river, and now. 015 EZR 004 012 let it be known to the king, that the Jews who came from thee to us are come to Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the evil city, and have set up the walls, and joined the foundations. 015 EZR 004 013 Be it known now to the king, that, if this city shall be built, and the walls set up again, then they will not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt diminish the revenue of the kings. 015 EZR 004 014 Now because we have maintenance from the king’s palace, and it was not good for us to see the king’s dishonour, therefore have we sent and informed the king; 015 EZR 004 015 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same from of old: for which cause was this city destroyed. 015 EZR 004 016 We inform the king that, if this city shall be built again, and the walls set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side of the river. 015 EZR 004 017 Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, Peace, and now. 015 EZR 004 018 the letter which ye sent to us hath been plainly read before me. 015 EZR 004 019 And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city from of old hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made in it. 015 EZR 004 020 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid to them. 015 EZR 004 021 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until another commandment shall be given from me. 015 EZR 004 022 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the harm of the kings? 015 EZR 004 023 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. 015 EZR 004 024 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. 015 EZR 005 001 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even to them. 015 EZR 005 002 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them. 015 EZR 005 003 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus to them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall? 015 EZR 005 004 Then said we to them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building? 015 EZR 005 005 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter. 015 EZR 005 006 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side of the river, sent to Darius the king: 015 EZR 005 007 They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus; To Darius the king, all peace. 015 EZR 005 008 Be it known to the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work proceedeth quickly, and prospereth in their hands. 015 EZR 005 009 Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to finish these walls? 015 EZR 005 010 We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them. 015 EZR 005 011 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and set up. 015 EZR 005 012 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon. 015 EZR 005 013 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God. 015 EZR 005 014 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor; 015 EZR 005 015 And said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place. 015 EZR 005 016 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished. 015 EZR 005 017 Now therefore, if it seemeth good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so, that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter. 015 EZR 006 001 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. 015 EZR 006 002 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a scroll, and in it was a record thus written: 015 EZR 006 003 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits; 015 EZR 006 004 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house: 015 EZR 006 005 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and place them in the house of God. 015 EZR 006 006 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, keep away from there: 015 EZR 006 007 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place. 015 EZR 006 008 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be given immediately to these men, that they be not hindered. 015 EZR 006 009 And that which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail: 015 EZR 006 010 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. 015 EZR 006 011 Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this. 015 EZR 006 012 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall try to alter the decree and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed. 015 EZR 006 013 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily. 015 EZR 006 014 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. 015 EZR 006 015 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. 015 EZR 006 016 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy, 015 EZR 006 017 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. 015 EZR 006 018 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses. 015 EZR 006 019 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month. 015 EZR 006 020 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. 015 EZR 006 021 And the children of Israel, who had returned from captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, ate, 015 EZR 006 022 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel. 015 EZR 007 001 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, 015 EZR 007 002 The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, 015 EZR 007 003 The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 015 EZR 007 004 The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 015 EZR 007 005 The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest: 015 EZR 007 006 This Ezra went from Babylon; and he was a scribe skilled in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him. 015 EZR 007 007 And there went some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 015 EZR 007 008 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. 015 EZR 007 009 For upon the first day of the first month he began to go from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. 015 EZR 007 010 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. 015 EZR 007 011 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel. 015 EZR 007 012 Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and now. 015 EZR 007 013 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, who are disposed of their own freewill to go to Jerusalem, go with thee. 015 EZR 007 014 Forasmuch as thou art sent by the king, and by his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand; 015 EZR 007 015 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, 015 EZR 007 016 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem: 015 EZR 007 017 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 007 018 And whatever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and gold, that do after the will of your God. 015 EZR 007 019 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. 015 EZR 007 020 And whatever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king’s treasure house. 015 EZR 007 021 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily, 015 EZR 007 022 To an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. 015 EZR 007 023 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? 015 EZR 007 024 Also we inform you, that concerning any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. 015 EZR 007 025 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thy hand, set magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not. 015 EZR 007 026 And whoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. 015 EZR 007 027 Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, who hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem: 015 EZR 007 028 And hath extended mercy to me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered out of Israel chief men to go up with me. 015 EZR 008 001 These are now the heads of their fathers’ houses, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. 015 EZR 008 002 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush. 015 EZR 008 003 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty. 015 EZR 008 004 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males. 015 EZR 008 005 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males. 015 EZR 008 006 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males. 015 EZR 008 007 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males. 015 EZR 008 008 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him eighty males. 015 EZR 008 009 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 015 EZR 008 010 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and sixty males. 015 EZR 008 011 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males. 015 EZR 008 012 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males. 015 EZR 008 013 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty males. 015 EZR 008 014 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males. 015 EZR 008 015 And I gathered them at the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we abode in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi. 015 EZR 008 016 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding. 015 EZR 008 017 And I sent them with commandment to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God. 015 EZR 008 018 And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen; 015 EZR 008 019 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty; 015 EZR 008 020 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were mentioned by name. 015 EZR 008 021 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. 015 EZR 008 022 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. 015 EZR 008 023 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated by us. 015 EZR 008 024 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them, 015 EZR 008 025 And weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered: 015 EZR 008 026 I even weighed to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents; 015 EZR 008 027 Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold. 015 EZR 008 028 And I said to them, Ye are holy to the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD God of your fathers. 015 EZR 008 029 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD. 015 EZR 008 030 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God. 015 EZR 008 031 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. 015 EZR 008 032 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days. 015 EZR 008 033 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites; 015 EZR 008 034 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time. 015 EZR 008 035 Also the children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve male goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering to the LORD. 015 EZR 008 036 And they delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s satraps, and to the governors on this side of the river: and they helped the people, and the house of God. 015 EZR 009 001 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 015 EZR 009 002 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mixed themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been first in this trespass. 015 EZR 009 003 And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down appalled. 015 EZR 009 004 Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat appalled until the evening sacrifice. 015 EZR 009 005 And at the evening sacrifice I arose from my heaviness; and having torn my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God, 015 EZR 009 006 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up to the heavens. 015 EZR 009 007 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass to this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. 015 EZR 009 008 And now for a little moment grace hath been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. 015 EZR 009 009 For we were slaves; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations of it, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 009 010 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 015 EZR 009 011 Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, where ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. 015 EZR 009 012 Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. 015 EZR 009 013 And after all that hath come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; 015 EZR 009 014 Should we again break thy commandments, and join in marriage with the people of these abominations? wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? 015 EZR 009 015 O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we having escaped, remain yet, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this. 015 EZR 010 001 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very bitterly. 015 EZR 010 002 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken foreign wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. 015 EZR 010 003 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law. 015 EZR 010 004 Arise; for this matter belongeth to thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it. 015 EZR 010 005 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they swore. 015 EZR 010 006 Then Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 015 EZR 010 007 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather at Jerusalem; 015 EZR 010 008 And that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. 015 EZR 010 009 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, and the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. 015 EZR 010 010 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. 015 EZR 010 011 Now therefore make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the foreign wives. 015 EZR 010 012 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. 015 EZR 010 013 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand abroad, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing. 015 EZR 010 014 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them who have taken foreign wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter shall be turned from us. 015 EZR 010 015 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. 015 EZR 010 016 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 015 EZR 010 017 And they finished with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month. 015 EZR 010 018 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. 015 EZR 010 019 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass. 015 EZR 010 020 And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah. 015 EZR 010 021 And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah. 015 EZR 010 022 And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 015 EZR 010 023 Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita, ) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 015 EZR 010 024 Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri. 015 EZR 010 025 Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah. 015 EZR 010 026 And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah. 015 EZR 010 027 And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza. 015 EZR 010 028 Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai. 015 EZR 010 029 And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth. 015 EZR 010 030 And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh. 015 EZR 010 031 And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon, 015 EZR 010 032 Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah. 015 EZR 010 033 Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei. 015 EZR 010 034 Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel, 015 EZR 010 035 Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh, 015 EZR 010 036 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 015 EZR 010 037 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau, 015 EZR 010 038 And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei, 015 EZR 010 039 And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah, 015 EZR 010 040 Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai, 015 EZR 010 041 Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah, 015 EZR 010 042 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph. 015 EZR 010 043 Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah. 015 EZR 010 044 All these had taken foreign wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children. # # BOOK 016 NEH Nehemiah Nehemiah 016 NEH 001 001 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 016 NEH 001 002 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 016 NEH 001 003 And they said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire. 016 NEH 001 004 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, 016 NEH 001 005 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: 016 NEH 001 006 Let thy ear now be attentive, and thy eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned. 016 NEH 001 007 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou didst command thy servant Moses. 016 NEH 001 008 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou didst command thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: 016 NEH 001 009 But if ye turn to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you driven to the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen to set my name there. 016 NEH 001 010 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. 016 NEH 001 011 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer. 016 NEH 002 001 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not in times past been sad in his presence. 016 NEH 002 002 Therefore the king said to me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was very greatly afraid, 016 NEH 002 003 And said to the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and its gates are consumed with fire? 016 NEH 002 004 Then the king said to me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. 016 NEH 002 005 And I said to the king, If it should please the king, and if thy servant hath found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it. 016 NEH 002 006 And the king said to me, (the queen also sitting by him, ) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. 016 NEH 002 007 Moreover I said to the king, If it should please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may let me pass through till I come into Judah; 016 NEH 002 008 And a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which is near to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. 016 NEH 002 009 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me. 016 NEH 002 010 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there had come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. 016 NEH 002 011 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 016 NEH 002 012 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, except the beast that I rode upon. 016 NEH 002 013 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and their gates were consumed with fire. 016 NEH 002 014 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass. 016 NEH 002 015 Then I went up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned. 016 NEH 002 016 And the rulers knew not where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. 016 NEH 002 017 Then said I to them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and its gates are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may be no more a reproach. 016 NEH 002 018 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. 016 NEH 002 019 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they mocked, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? 016 NEH 002 020 Then I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. 016 NEH 003 001 Then Eliashib the high priest arose with his brethren the priests, and they built the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even to the tower of Meah they sanctified it, to the tower of Hananeel. 016 NEH 003 002 And next to him built the men of Jericho. And next to them built Zaccur the son of Imri. 016 NEH 003 003 But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid its beams, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars. 016 NEH 003 004 And next to them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next to them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next to them repaired Zadok the son of Baana. 016 NEH 003 005 And next to them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord. 016 NEH 003 006 Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid its beams, and set up its doors, and its locks, and its bars. 016 NEH 003 007 And next to them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, to the throne of the governor on this side of the river. 016 NEH 003 008 Next to him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next to him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the perfumers, and they fortified Jerusalem to the broad wall. 016 NEH 003 009 And next to them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem. 016 NEH 003 010 And next to them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, opposite his house. And next to him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah. 016 NEH 003 011 Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces. 016 NEH 003 012 And next to him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters. 016 NEH 003 013 The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars, and a thousand cubits on the wall to the dung gate. 016 NEH 003 014 But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars. 016 NEH 003 015 But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king’s garden, and to the stairs that descend from the city of David. 016 NEH 003 016 After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur, to the place opposite the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and to the house of the mighty. 016 NEH 003 017 After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next to him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part. 016 NEH 003 018 After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah. 016 NEH 003 019 And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece opposite the ascent to the armoury at the turning of the wall. 016 NEH 003 020 After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of the wall to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest. 016 NEH 003 021 After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib. 016 NEH 003 022 And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain. 016 NEH 003 023 After him repaired Benjamin and Hashub opposite their house. After him repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by his house. 016 NEH 003 024 After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another piece, from the house of Azariah to the turning of the wall, even to the corner. 016 NEH 003 025 Palal the son of Uzai, opposite the turning of the wall, and the projecting tower from the king’s upper house, that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh. 016 NEH 003 026 Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, to the place opposite the water gate toward the east, and the projecting tower. 016 NEH 003 027 After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, opposite the great projecting tower, even to the wall of Ophel. 016 NEH 003 028 From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one opposite his house. 016 NEH 003 029 After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer opposite his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate. 016 NEH 003 030 After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah opposite his chamber. 016 NEH 003 031 After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith’s son to the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, opposite the gate Miphkad, and to the ascent of the corner. 016 NEH 003 032 And between the ascent of the corner to the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants. 016 NEH 004 001 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and felt great indignation, and mocked the Jews. 016 NEH 004 002 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they finish in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? 016 NEH 004 003 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox should go up, he would even break down their stone wall. 016 NEH 004 004 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a spoil in the land of captivity: 016 NEH 004 005 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. 016 NEH 004 006 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half of it: for the people had a mind to work. 016 NEH 004 007 But it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were set up, and that the breaches began to be closed, then they were very angry, 016 NEH 004 008 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 016 NEH 004 009 Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 016 NEH 004 010 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is failing, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall. 016 NEH 004 011 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 016 NEH 004 012 And it came to pass, that when the Jews who dwelt by them came, they said to us ten times, From all places where ye shall return to us they will be upon you. 016 NEH 004 013 Therefore I set in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people according to their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 016 NEH 004 014 And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be ye not afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. 016 NEH 004 015 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work. 016 NEH 004 016 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. 016 NEH 004 017 They who built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, burdened themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. 016 NEH 004 018 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. 016 NEH 004 019 And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another. 016 NEH 004 020 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye there to us: our God shall fight for us. 016 NEH 004 021 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. 016 NEH 004 022 Likewise at the same time said I to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour in the day. 016 NEH 004 023 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, except that every one put them off for washing. 016 NEH 005 001 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 016 NEH 005 002 For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up grain for them, that we may eat, and live. 016 NEH 005 003 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy grain, because of the famine. 016 NEH 005 004 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tax, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 016 NEH 005 005 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought to bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards. 016 NEH 005 006 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 016 NEH 005 007 Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact interest, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 016 NEH 005 008 And I said to them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold to us? Then they held their peace, and found nothing to answer. 016 NEH 005 009 Also I said, That is not good which ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 016 NEH 005 010 I likewise, my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and grain: I pray you, let us stop charging interest. 016 NEH 005 011 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 016 NEH 005 012 Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. 016 NEH 005 013 Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. 016 NEH 005 014 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. 016 NEH 005 015 But the former governors that had been before me had laid a burden upon the people, and had taken of them food and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bore rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. 016 NEH 005 016 Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work. 016 NEH 005 017 Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, besides those that came to us from among the heathen that were about us. 016 NEH 005 018 Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days an abundance of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I required not the food of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. 016 NEH 005 019 Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people. 016 NEH 006 001 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it; ( though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; ) 016 NEH 006 002 That Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. 016 NEH 006 003 And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you? 016 NEH 006 004 Yet they sent to me four times in this way; and I answered them after the same manner. 016 NEH 006 005 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; 016 NEH 006 006 In which was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words. 016 NEH 006 007 And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. 016 NEH 006 008 Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou maketh up them out of thy own heart. 016 NEH 006 009 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it may not be done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. 016 NEH 006 010 Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. 016 NEH 006 011 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. 016 NEH 006 012 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 016 NEH 006 013 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for a bad report, that they might reproach me. 016 NEH 006 014 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. 016 NEH 006 015 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 016 NEH 006 016 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard of it, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought by our God. 016 NEH 006 017 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them. 016 NEH 006 018 For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. 016 NEH 006 019 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. 016 NEH 007 001 Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, 016 NEH 007 002 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. 016 NEH 007 003 And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint soldiers of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be opposite his house. 016 NEH 007 004 Now the city was large and great: but the people in it were few, and the houses were not built. 016 NEH 007 005 And my God put into my heart to gather the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a family record of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it, 016 NEH 007 006 These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city; 016 NEH 007 007 Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this; 016 NEH 007 008 The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred and seventy and two. 016 NEH 007 009 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy and two. 016 NEH 007 010 The children of Arah, six hundred and fifty and two. 016 NEH 007 011 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen. 016 NEH 007 012 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred and fifty and four. 016 NEH 007 013 The children of Zattu, eight hundred and forty and five. 016 NEH 007 014 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty. 016 NEH 007 015 The children of Binnui, six hundred and forty and eight. 016 NEH 007 016 The children of Bebai, six hundred and twenty and eight. 016 NEH 007 017 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred and twenty and two. 016 NEH 007 018 The children of Adonikam, six hundred and sixty and seven. 016 NEH 007 019 The children of Bigvai, two thousand and sixty and seven. 016 NEH 007 020 The children of Adin, six hundred and fifty and five. 016 NEH 007 021 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. 016 NEH 007 022 The children of Hashum, three hundred and twenty and eight. 016 NEH 007 023 The children of Bezai, three hundred and twenty and four. 016 NEH 007 024 The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve. 016 NEH 007 025 The children of Gibeon, ninety and five. 016 NEH 007 026 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred and eighty and eight. 016 NEH 007 027 The men of Anathoth, an hundred and twenty and eight. 016 NEH 007 028 The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two. 016 NEH 007 029 The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty and three. 016 NEH 007 030 The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and twenty and one. 016 NEH 007 031 The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two. 016 NEH 007 032 The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred and twenty and three. 016 NEH 007 033 The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two. 016 NEH 007 034 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred and fifty and four. 016 NEH 007 035 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. 016 NEH 007 036 The children of Jericho, three hundred and forty and five. 016 NEH 007 037 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and twenty and one. 016 NEH 007 038 The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty. 016 NEH 007 039 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy and three. 016 NEH 007 040 The children of Immer, a thousand and fifty and two. 016 NEH 007 041 The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred and forty and seven. 016 NEH 007 042 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen. 016 NEH 007 043 The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four. 016 NEH 007 044 The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred and forty and eight. 016 NEH 007 045 The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred and thirty and eight. 016 NEH 007 046 The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth, 016 NEH 007 047 The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon, 016 NEH 007 048 The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai, 016 NEH 007 049 The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, 016 NEH 007 050 The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, 016 NEH 007 051 The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah, 016 NEH 007 052 The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim, 016 NEH 007 053 The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, 016 NEH 007 054 The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, 016 NEH 007 055 The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah, 016 NEH 007 056 The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. 016 NEH 007 057 The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida, 016 NEH 007 058 The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, 016 NEH 007 059 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon. 016 NEH 007 060 All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred and ninety and two. 016 NEH 007 061 And these were they who went up also from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not show their father’s house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel. 016 NEH 007 062 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and forty and two. 016 NEH 007 063 And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, who took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite for a wife, and was called after their name. 016 NEH 007 064 These sought their family record among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 016 NEH 007 065 And the Tirshatha said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there should stand up a priest with Urim and Thummim. 016 NEH 007 066 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and sixty, 016 NEH 007 067 Besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty and seven: and they had two hundred and forty and five men and women singers. 016 NEH 007 068 Their horses, seven hundred and thirty and six: their mules, two hundred and forty and five: 016 NEH 007 069 Their camels, four hundred and thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty donkeys. 016 NEH 007 070 And some of the heads of the fathers’ houses gave to the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasury a thousand drams of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests’ garments. 016 NEH 007 071 And some of the heads of the fathers’ houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pounds of silver. 016 NEH 007 072 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty and seven priests’ garments. 016 NEH 007 073 So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities. 016 NEH 008 001 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man in the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. 016 NEH 008 002 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. 016 NEH 008 003 And he read in it before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. 016 NEH 008 004 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 016 NEH 008 005 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people; ) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 016 NEH 008 006 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 016 NEH 008 007 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 016 NEH 008 008 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 016 NEH 008 009 And Nehemiah, who is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 016 NEH 008 010 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy to our Lord: neither be ye sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 016 NEH 008 011 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 016 NEH 008 012 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. 016 NEH 008 013 And on the second day were gathered together the heads of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. 016 NEH 008 014 And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: 016 NEH 008 015 And that they should declare and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 016 NEH 008 016 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 016 NEH 008 017 And all the congregation of them that had returned from the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. 016 NEH 008 018 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner. 016 NEH 009 001 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them. 016 NEH 009 002 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 016 NEH 009 003 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God. 016 NEH 009 004 Then stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God. 016 NEH 009 005 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. 016 NEH 009 006 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. 016 NEH 009 007 Thou art the LORD the God, who chose Abram, and broughtest him forth from Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham; 016 NEH 009 008 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous: 016 NEH 009 009 And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea; 016 NEH 009 010 And didst show signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day. 016 NEH 009 011 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters. 016 NEH 009 012 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go. 016 NEH 009 013 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 016 NEH 009 014 And madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst command them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: 016 NEH 009 015 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst promise them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. 016 NEH 009 016 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments, 016 NEH 009 017 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst perform among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. 016 NEH 009 018 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; 016 NEH 009 019 Yet thou in thy great mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go. 016 NEH 009 020 Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. 016 NEH 009 021 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out, and their feet swelled not. 016 NEH 009 022 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 016 NEH 009 023 Their children also didst multiply thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou didst promise to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it. 016 NEH 009 024 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou didst subdue before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would. 016 NEH 009 025 And they took strong cities, and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all goods, dug wells, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. 016 NEH 009 026 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets who testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations. 016 NEH 009 027 Therefore thou didst deliver them into the hand of their enemies, who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy great mercies thou gavest them deliverers, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. 016 NEH 009 028 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried to thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies; 016 NEH 009 029 And didst testify against them, that thou mightest bring them again to thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man doeth, he shall live in them; ) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. 016 NEH 009 030 Yet many years didst thou forbear over them, and didst testify against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not listen: therefore thou gavest them into the hand of the people of the lands. 016 NEH 009 031 Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God. 016 NEH 009 032 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day. 016 NEH 009 033 But thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: 016 NEH 009 034 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened to thy commandments and thy testimonies, with which thou didst testify against them. 016 NEH 009 035 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and rich land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 016 NEH 009 036 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, behold, we are servants in it: 016 NEH 009 037 And it yieldeth much increase to the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress. 016 NEH 009 038 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, set their seals to it. 016 NEH 010 001 Now those that set their seal were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah, 016 NEH 010 002 Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah, 016 NEH 010 003 Pashur, Amariah, Malchijah, 016 NEH 010 004 Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch, 016 NEH 010 005 Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah, 016 NEH 010 006 Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch, 016 NEH 010 007 Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin, 016 NEH 010 008 Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these were the priests. 016 NEH 010 009 And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel; 016 NEH 010 010 And their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan, 016 NEH 010 011 Micha, Rehob, Hashabiah, 016 NEH 010 012 Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah, 016 NEH 010 013 Hodijah, Bani, Beninu. 016 NEH 010 014 The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahathmoab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani, 016 NEH 010 015 Bunni, Azgad, Bebai, 016 NEH 010 016 Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin, 016 NEH 010 017 Ater, Hizkijah, Azzur, 016 NEH 010 018 Hodijah, Hashum, Bezai, 016 NEH 010 019 Hariph, Anathoth, Nebai, 016 NEH 010 020 Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir, 016 NEH 010 021 Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua, 016 NEH 010 022 Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah, 016 NEH 010 023 Hoshea, Hananiah, Hashub, 016 NEH 010 024 Hallohesh, Pileha, Shobek, 016 NEH 010 025 Rehum, Hashabnah, Maaseiah, 016 NEH 010 026 And Ahijah, Hanan, Anan, 016 NEH 010 027 Malluch, Harim, Baanah. 016 NEH 010 028 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding; 016 NEH 010 029 They joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes; 016 NEH 010 030 And that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons: 016 NEH 010 031 And if the people of the land should bring wares or any food on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt. 016 NEH 010 032 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God; 016 NEH 010 033 For the showbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. 016 NEH 010 034 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law: 016 NEH 010 035 And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the house of the LORD: 016 NEH 010 036 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God: 016 NEH 010 037 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. 016 NEH 010 038 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. 016 NEH 010 039 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine, and the oil, to the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God. 016 NEH 011 001 And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities. 016 NEH 011 002 And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem. 016 NEH 011 003 Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, that is, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants. 016 NEH 011 004 And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez; 016 NEH 011 005 And Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. 016 NEH 011 006 All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty and eight valiant men. 016 NEH 011 007 And these are the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jesaiah. 016 NEH 011 008 And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred and twenty and eight. 016 NEH 011 009 And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer: and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city. 016 NEH 011 010 Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin. 016 NEH 011 011 Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God. 016 NEH 011 012 And their brethren that performed the work of the house were eight hundred and twenty and two: and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchiah, 016 NEH 011 013 And his brethren, heads of the fathers’ houses, two hundred and forty and two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 016 NEH 011 014 And their brethren, mighty men of valour, an hundred and twenty and eight: and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men. 016 NEH 011 015 Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 016 NEH 011 016 And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God. 016 NEH 011 017 And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. 016 NEH 011 018 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred and eighty and four. 016 NEH 011 019 Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that kept the gates, were an hundred and seventy and two. 016 NEH 011 020 And the rest of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance. 016 NEH 011 021 But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinims. 016 NEH 011 022 The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God. 016 NEH 011 023 For it was the king’s commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, as every day required. 016 NEH 011 024 And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning the people. 016 NEH 011 025 And for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt at Kirjatharba, and in its villages, and at Dibon, and in its villages, and at Jekabzeel, and in its villages, 016 NEH 011 026 And at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethphelet, 016 NEH 011 027 And at Hazarshual, and at Beersheba, and in its villages, 016 NEH 011 028 And at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in its villages, 016 NEH 011 029 And at Enrimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth, 016 NEH 011 030 Zanoah, Adullam, and in their villages, at Lachish, and its fields, at Azekah, and in its villages. And they dwelt from Beersheba to the valley of Hinnom. 016 NEH 011 031 The children also of Benjamin from Geba dwelt at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel, and in their villages, 016 NEH 011 032 And at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, 016 NEH 011 033 Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, 016 NEH 011 034 Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, 016 NEH 011 035 Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. 016 NEH 011 036 And of the Levites were divisions in Judah, and in Benjamin. 016 NEH 012 001 Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, 016 NEH 012 002 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush, 016 NEH 012 003 Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth, 016 NEH 012 004 Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah, 016 NEH 012 005 Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah, 016 NEH 012 006 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, 016 NEH 012 007 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua. 016 NEH 012 008 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. 016 NEH 012 009 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, stood opposite them in the watches. 016 NEH 012 010 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada, 016 NEH 012 011 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua. 016 NEH 012 012 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the heads of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 016 NEH 012 013 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 016 NEH 012 014 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 016 NEH 012 015 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 016 NEH 012 016 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; 016 NEH 012 017 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai; 016 NEH 012 018 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan; 016 NEH 012 019 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 016 NEH 012 020 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber; 016 NEH 012 021 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel. 016 NEH 012 022 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian. 016 NEH 012 023 The sons of Levi, the heads of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even till the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 016 NEH 012 024 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, division side by side with division. 016 NEH 012 025 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates. 016 NEH 012 026 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe. 016 NEH 012 027 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 016 NEH 012 028 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi; 016 NEH 012 029 Also from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem. 016 NEH 012 030 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 016 NEH 012 031 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, of which one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate: 016 NEH 012 032 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, 016 NEH 012 033 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 016 NEH 012 034 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, 016 NEH 012 035 And certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph: 016 NEH 012 036 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them. 016 NEH 012 037 And at the fountain gate, which was opposite them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward. 016 NEH 012 038 And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall; 016 NEH 012 039 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate. 016 NEH 012 040 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me: 016 NEH 012 041 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets; 016 NEH 012 042 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. 016 NEH 012 043 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. 016 NEH 012 044 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited. 016 NEH 012 045 And both the singers and the porters kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. 016 NEH 012 046 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were leaders of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. 016 NEH 012 047 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things to the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them to the children of Aaron. 016 NEH 013 001 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and in it was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; 016 NEH 013 002 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: but our God turned the curse into a blessing. 016 NEH 013 003 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. 016 NEH 013 004 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied to Tobiah: 016 NEH 013 005 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where before they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests. 016 NEH 013 006 But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king, and after certain days I obtained leave of the king: 016 NEH 013 007 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing for him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. 016 NEH 013 008 And it grieved me greatly: therefore I cast forth all the household goods of Tobiah out of the chamber. 016 NEH 013 009 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and there I brought again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense. 016 NEH 013 010 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, had fled every one to his field. 016 NEH 013 011 Then I contended with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place. 016 NEH 013 012 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries. 016 NEH 013 013 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were accounted faithful, and their office was to distribute to their brethren. 016 NEH 013 014 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its offices. 016 NEH 013 015 In those days I saw in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and putting them on donkeys; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day when they sold food. 016 NEH 013 016 There dwelt men of Tyre also in the city, who brought fish, and all kinds of wares, and sold on the sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. 016 NEH 013 017 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? 016 NEH 013 018 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. 016 NEH 013 019 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 016 NEH 013 020 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice. 016 NEH 013 021 Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why lodge ye before the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath. 016 NEH 013 022 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy. 016 NEH 013 023 In those days also I saw Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab: 016 NEH 013 024 And their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people. 016 NEH 013 025 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons, or for yourselves. 016 NEH 013 026 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin. 016 NEH 013 027 Shall we then hearken to you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying foreign women? 016 NEH 013 028 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I drove him away from me. 016 NEH 013 029 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. 016 NEH 013 030 Thus I cleansed them from all strangers, and appointed the duties of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business; 016 NEH 013 031 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good. # # BOOK 017 EST Esther Esther 017 EST 001 001 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from India even to Cush, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces: ) 017 EST 001 002 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, 017 EST 001 003 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him: 017 EST 001 004 When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and eighty days. 017 EST 001 005 And when these days had ended, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace; 017 EST 001 006 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble. 017 EST 001 007 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels differing one from another, ) and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king. 017 EST 001 008 And the drinking was according to the law; none constrained: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure. 017 EST 001 009 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 001 010 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, 017 EST 001 011 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on. 017 EST 001 012 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very angry, and his anger burned in him. 017 EST 001 013 Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment: 017 EST 001 014 And the next to him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and who sat in the first place in the kingdom; ) 017 EST 001 015 What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? 017 EST 001 016 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 001 017 For this deed of the queen shall become known to all women, so that they shall look with contempt upon their husbands, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not. 017 EST 001 018 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king’s princes, who have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath. 017 EST 001 019 If it pleaseth the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she. 017 EST 001 020 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be proclaimed throughout all his empire, (for it is great, ) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small. 017 EST 001 021 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan: 017 EST 001 022 For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be proclaimed in the language of every people. 017 EST 002 001 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. 017 EST 002 002 Then said the king’s servants that ministered to him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: 017 EST 002 003 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the fair young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, into the custody of Hege the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them: 017 EST 002 004 And let the maiden who pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. 017 EST 002 005 Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; 017 EST 002 006 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 017 EST 002 007 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. 017 EST 002 008 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree were heard, and when many maidens were gathered at Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also to the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. 017 EST 002 009 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven choice maidens, to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids to the best place of the house of the women. 017 EST 002 010 Esther had not revealed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known. 017 EST 002 011 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her. 017 EST 002 012 Now when every maid’s turn had come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the law for the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, that is, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women; ) 017 EST 002 013 Then thus came every maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king’s house. 017 EST 002 014 In the evening she went, and on the next morning she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in to the king no more, except that the king delighted in her, and she was called by name. 017 EST 002 015 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, had come to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. 017 EST 002 016 So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. 017 EST 002 017 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. 017 EST 002 018 Then the king made a great feast to all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king. 017 EST 002 019 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king’s gate. 017 EST 002 020 Esther had not yet revealed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther performed the commandment of Mordecai, as when she was brought up with him. 017 EST 002 021 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the door, were angry, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 002 022 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it to Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king of it in Mordecai’s name. 017 EST 002 023 And when enquiry was made of the matter, it was discovered; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king. 017 EST 003 001 After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. 017 EST 003 002 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and paid honour to Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did pay him honour. 017 EST 003 003 Then the king’s servants, who were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, Why dost thou transgress the king’s commandment? 017 EST 003 004 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew. 017 EST 003 005 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did pay him honour, then was Haman full of wrath. 017 EST 003 006 And he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai. 017 EST 003 007 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. 017 EST 003 008 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are different from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain. 017 EST 003 009 If it shall please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries. 017 EST 003 010 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy. 017 EST 003 011 And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee. 017 EST 003 012 Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded to the king’s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people of every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring. 017 EST 003 013 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder them for spoil. 017 EST 003 014 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was proclaimed to all people, that they should be ready for that day. 017 EST 003 015 The posts departed, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed. 017 EST 004 001 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; 017 EST 004 002 And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. 017 EST 004 003 And in every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 017 EST 004 004 So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it to her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he accepted it not. 017 EST 004 005 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to learn what it was, and why it was. 017 EST 004 006 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai to the street of the city, which was before the king’s gate. 017 EST 004 007 And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. 017 EST 004 008 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to tell it to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people. 017 EST 004 009 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. 017 EST 004 010 Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment to Mordecai; 017 EST 004 011 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except him to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days. 017 EST 004 012 And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words. 017 EST 004 013 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews. 017 EST 004 014 For if thou shalt altogether hold thy peace at this time, then shall there relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou hast come to the kingdom for such a time as this? 017 EST 004 015 Then Esther told them return Mordecai this answer, 017 EST 004 016 Go, gather all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in to the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. 017 EST 004 017 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him. 017 EST 005 001 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, opposite the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, opposite the entrance of the house. 017 EST 005 002 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. 017 EST 005 003 Then said the king to her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom. 017 EST 005 004 And Esther answered, If it shall seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him. 017 EST 005 005 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 017 EST 005 006 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed. 017 EST 005 007 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; 017 EST 005 008 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said. 017 EST 005 009 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor trembled before him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai. 017 EST 005 010 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. 017 EST 005 011 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. 017 EST 005 012 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow I am invited to her also with the king. 017 EST 005 013 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate. 017 EST 005 014 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it: then go thou in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made. 017 EST 006 001 In that night the king could not sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 017 EST 006 002 And it was found written, that Mordecai had informed on Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 006 003 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been bestowed upon Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him. 017 EST 006 004 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. 017 EST 006 005 And the king’s servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. 017 EST 006 006 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself? 017 EST 006 007 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour, 017 EST 006 008 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: 017 EST 006 009 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour. 017 EST 006 010 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. 017 EST 006 011 Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour. 017 EST 006 012 And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. 017 EST 006 013 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai is of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. 017 EST 006 014 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 017 EST 007 001 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. 017 EST 007 002 And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom. 017 EST 007 003 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it shall please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request: 017 EST 007 004 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not compensate for the king’s loss. 017 EST 007 005 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that dared presume in his heart to do so? 017 EST 007 006 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. 017 EST 007 007 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. 017 EST 007 008 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. 017 EST 007 009 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him on it. 017 EST 007 010 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified. 017 EST 008 001 On that day the king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her. 017 EST 008 002 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. 017 EST 008 003 And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plot that he had devised against the Jews. 017 EST 008 004 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king, 017 EST 008 005 And said, If it shall please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing shall seem right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces: 017 EST 008 006 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come to my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred? 017 EST 008 007 Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews. 017 EST 008 008 Write ye also for the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, no man may reverse. 017 EST 008 009 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day of it; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Cush, an hundred and twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language. 017 EST 008 010 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries: 017 EST 008 011 In which the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their lives, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to plunder them for spoil, 017 EST 008 012 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar. 017 EST 008 013 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was proclaimed to all people, and that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. 017 EST 008 014 So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace. 017 EST 008 015 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. 017 EST 008 016 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. 017 EST 008 017 And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them. 017 EST 009 001 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; ) 017 EST 009 002 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their harm: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people. 017 EST 009 003 And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them. 017 EST 009 004 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai became greater and greater. 017 EST 009 005 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them. 017 EST 009 006 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men. 017 EST 009 007 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 017 EST 009 008 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 017 EST 009 009 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha, 017 EST 009 010 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, they slew; but on the spoil they laid not their hand. 017 EST 009 011 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king. 017 EST 009 012 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done. 017 EST 009 013 Then said Esther, If it shall please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows. 017 EST 009 014 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons. 017 EST 009 015 For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand. 017 EST 009 016 But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and defended their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the spoil, 017 EST 009 017 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 017 EST 009 018 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day of the month, and on the fourteenth of it; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 017 EST 009 019 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another. 017 EST 009 020 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far, 017 EST 009 021 To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, 017 EST 009 022 As the days in which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor. 017 EST 009 023 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them; 017 EST 009 024 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; 017 EST 009 025 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plot, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. 017 EST 009 026 Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come to them, 017 EST 009 027 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; 017 EST 009 028 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. 017 EST 009 029 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim. 017 EST 009 030 And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth, 017 EST 009 031 To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had established for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their lamentations. 017 EST 009 032 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book. 017 EST 010 001 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea. 017 EST 010 002 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? 017 EST 010 003 For Mordecai the Jew was next to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the welfare of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. # # BOOK 018 JOB Job Job 018 JOB 001 001 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil. 018 JOB 001 002 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 018 JOB 001 003 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. 018 JOB 001 004 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 018 JOB 001 005 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were ended, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. 018 JOB 001 006 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 018 JOB 001 007 And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, fFrom going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it. 018 JOB 001 008 And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil? 018 JOB 001 009 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nothing? 018 JOB 001 010 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 018 JOB 001 011 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 018 JOB 001 012 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. 018 JOB 001 013 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: 018 JOB 001 014 And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them: 018 JOB 001 015 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee. 018 JOB 001 016 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee. 018 JOB 001 017 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee. 018 JOB 001 018 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: 018 JOB 001 019 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee. 018 JOB 001 020 Then Job arose, and tore his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshipped, 018 JOB 001 021 And said, Naked came I from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. 018 JOB 001 022 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. 018 JOB 002 001 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. 018 JOB 002 002 And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it. 018 JOB 002 003 And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move me against him, to destroy him without cause. 018 JOB 002 004 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, even, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 018 JOB 002 005 But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 018 JOB 002 006 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but save his life. 018 JOB 002 007 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown. 018 JOB 002 008 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes. 018 JOB 002 009 Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thy integrity? curse God, and die. 018 JOB 002 010 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. 018 JOB 002 011 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. 018 JOB 002 012 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they raised their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. 018 JOB 002 013 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great. 018 JOB 003 001 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day. 018 JOB 003 002 And Job spoke, and said, 018 JOB 003 003 Let the day perish when I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. 018 JOB 003 004 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 018 JOB 003 005 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. 018 JOB 003 006 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined to the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. 018 JOB 003 007 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come in it. 018 JOB 003 008 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. 018 JOB 003 009 Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: 018 JOB 003 010 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from my eyes. 018 JOB 003 011 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the womb? 018 JOB 003 012 Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts that I should be nursed? 018 JOB 003 013 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, 018 JOB 003 014 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who built desolate places for themselves; 018 JOB 003 015 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 018 JOB 003 016 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. 018 JOB 003 017 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest. 018 JOB 003 018 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 018 JOB 003 019 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 018 JOB 003 020 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul; 018 JOB 003 021 Who long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; 018 JOB 003 022 Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? 018 JOB 003 023 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? 018 JOB 003 024 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. 018 JOB 003 025 For the thing which I greatly feared hath come upon me, and that which I feared hath come to me. 018 JOB 003 026 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. 018 JOB 004 001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, 018 JOB 004 002 If we try to speak with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can restrain from speaking? 018 JOB 004 003 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. 018 JOB 004 004 Thy words have upheld him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. 018 JOB 004 005 But now it hath come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 018 JOB 004 006 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? 018 JOB 004 007 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? 018 JOB 004 008 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. 018 JOB 004 009 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 018 JOB 004 010 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. 018 JOB 004 011 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad. 018 JOB 004 012 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it. 018 JOB 004 013 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 018 JOB 004 014 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. 018 JOB 004 015 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: 018 JOB 004 016 It stood still, but I could not discern its form: an image was before my eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, 018 JOB 004 017 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? 018 JOB 004 018 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: 018 JOB 004 019 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth? 018 JOB 004 020 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. 018 JOB 004 021 Doth not their excellency which is in them depart? they die, even without wisdom. 018 JOB 005 001 Call now, if there is any that will answer thee; and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn? 018 JOB 005 002 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. 018 JOB 005 003 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. 018 JOB 005 004 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. 018 JOB 005 005 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. 018 JOB 005 006 Although affliction cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; 018 JOB 005 007 Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 018 JOB 005 008 I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause: 018 JOB 005 009 Who doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: 018 JOB 005 010 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: 018 JOB 005 011 To set on high those that are low; that those who mourn may be exalted to safety. 018 JOB 005 012 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. 018 JOB 005 013 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. 018 JOB 005 014 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noon as in the night. 018 JOB 005 015 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 018 JOB 005 016 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 018 JOB 005 017 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: 018 JOB 005 018 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. 018 JOB 005 019 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 018 JOB 005 020 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. 018 JOB 005 021 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 018 JOB 005 022 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 018 JOB 005 023 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 018 JOB 005 024 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 018 JOB 005 025 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thy offspring as the grass of the earth. 018 JOB 005 026 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, as a shock of grain cometh in in its season. 018 JOB 005 027 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. 018 JOB 006 001 But Job answered and said, 018 JOB 006 002 O that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! 018 JOB 006 003 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up. 018 JOB 006 004 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison of which drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God set themselves in array against me. 018 JOB 006 005 Doth the wild donkey bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? 018 JOB 006 006 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg? 018 JOB 006 007 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my loathsome food. 018 JOB 006 008 O that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for! 018 JOB 006 009 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! 018 JOB 006 010 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One. 018 JOB 006 011 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life? 018 JOB 006 012 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 018 JOB 006 013 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? 018 JOB 006 014 To him that is afflicted pity should be shown from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. 018 JOB 006 015 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; 018 JOB 006 016 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and in which the snow is hid: 018 JOB 006 017 In the time when they become warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 018 JOB 006 018 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish. 018 JOB 006 019 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. 018 JOB 006 020 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came there, and were ashamed. 018 JOB 006 021 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid. 018 JOB 006 022 Did I say, Bring to me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance? 018 JOB 006 023 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? 018 JOB 006 024 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand how I have erred. 018 JOB 006 025 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? 018 JOB 006 026 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind? 018 JOB 006 027 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend. 018 JOB 006 028 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident to you if I lie. 018 JOB 006 029 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it. 018 JOB 006 030 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things? 018 JOB 007 001 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? 018 JOB 007 002 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: 018 JOB 007 003 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. 018 JOB 007 004 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro to the dawning of the day. 018 JOB 007 005 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. 018 JOB 007 006 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope. 018 JOB 007 007 O remember that my life is a breath: my eye shall no more see good. 018 JOB 007 008 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thy eyes are upon me, and I am not. 018 JOB 007 009 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 007 010 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. 018 JOB 007 011 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 018 JOB 007 012 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? 018 JOB 007 013 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; 018 JOB 007 014 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: 018 JOB 007 015 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. 018 JOB 007 016 I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity. 018 JOB 007 017 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thy heart upon him? 018 JOB 007 018 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? 018 JOB 007 019 How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow my spittle? 018 JOB 007 020 I have sinned; what shall I do to thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? 018 JOB 007 021 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. 018 JOB 008 001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 018 JOB 008 002 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? 018 JOB 008 003 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? 018 JOB 008 004 If thy children have sinned against him, and he hath cast them away for their transgression; 018 JOB 008 005 If thou wouldest seek to God early, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; 018 JOB 008 006 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 018 JOB 008 007 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. 018 JOB 008 008 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: 018 JOB 008 009 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow: ) 018 JOB 008 010 Shall they not teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? 018 JOB 008 011 Can the rush grow without mire? can the flag grow without water? 018 JOB 008 012 While it is still green, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. 018 JOB 008 013 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish: 018 JOB 008 014 Whose confidence shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web. 018 JOB 008 015 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. 018 JOB 008 016 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. 018 JOB 008 017 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. 018 JOB 008 018 If he shall be destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. 018 JOB 008 019 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. 018 JOB 008 020 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evildoers: 018 JOB 008 021 Till he shall fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. 018 JOB 008 022 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. 018 JOB 009 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 009 002 I know it to be so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? 018 JOB 009 003 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one time out of a thousand. 018 JOB 009 004 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? 018 JOB 009 005 Who removeth the mountains, and they know not: who overturneth them in his anger. 018 JOB 009 006 Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble. 018 JOB 009 007 Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 018 JOB 009 008 Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 018 JOB 009 009 Who maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 018 JOB 009 010 Who doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. 018 JOB 009 011 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 018 JOB 009 012 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say to him, What doest thou? 018 JOB 009 013 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. 018 JOB 009 014 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? 018 JOB 009 015 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. 018 JOB 009 016 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet I would not believe that he had hearkened to my voice. 018 JOB 009 017 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 018 JOB 009 018 He will not allow me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 018 JOB 009 019 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? 018 JOB 009 020 If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, that also shall prove me perverse. 018 JOB 009 021 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. 018 JOB 009 022 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 018 JOB 009 023 If the scourge shall slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. 018 JOB 009 024 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of its judges; if not, where, and who is he? 018 JOB 009 025 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. 018 JOB 009 026 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 018 JOB 009 027 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my heaviness, and comfort myself: 018 JOB 009 028 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 018 JOB 009 029 If I am wicked, why then do I labour in vain? 018 JOB 009 030 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; 018 JOB 009 031 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me. 018 JOB 009 032 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 018 JOB 009 033 Neither is there any mediator between us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 018 JOB 009 034 Let him take away his rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 018 JOB 009 035 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me. 018 JOB 010 001 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 018 JOB 010 002 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why thou contendest with me. 018 JOB 010 003 Is it good to thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? 018 JOB 010 004 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? 018 JOB 010 005 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man’s days, 018 JOB 010 006 That thou enquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin? 018 JOB 010 007 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thy hand. 018 JOB 010 008 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me in all my parts; yet thou dost destroy me. 018 JOB 010 009 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? 018 JOB 010 010 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 018 JOB 010 011 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. 018 JOB 010 012 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath preserved my spirit. 018 JOB 010 013 And these things hast thou hid in thy heart: I know that this is with thee. 018 JOB 010 014 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from my iniquity. 018 JOB 010 015 If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou my affliction; 018 JOB 010 016 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me. 018 JOB 010 017 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against me. 018 JOB 010 018 Why then hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! 018 JOB 010 019 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. 018 JOB 010 020 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, 018 JOB 010 021 Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; 018 JOB 010 022 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness. 018 JOB 011 001 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, 018 JOB 011 002 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified? 018 JOB 011 003 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? 018 JOB 011 004 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thy eyes. 018 JOB 011 005 But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; 018 JOB 011 006 And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thy iniquity deserveth. 018 JOB 011 007 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? 018 JOB 011 008 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 011 009 The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. 018 JOB 011 010 If he shall cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? 018 JOB 011 011 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? 018 JOB 011 012 For vain man would be wise, though man is born like a wild donkey’s colt. 018 JOB 011 013 If thou preparest thy heart, and stretchest out thy hands toward him; 018 JOB 011 014 If iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tents. 018 JOB 011 015 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear: 018 JOB 011 016 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: 018 JOB 011 017 And thy age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. 018 JOB 011 018 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. 018 JOB 011 019 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit to thee. 018 JOB 011 020 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. 018 JOB 012 001 And Job answered and said, 018 JOB 012 002 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. 018 JOB 012 003 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? 018 JOB 012 004 I am as one mocked by his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is mocked. 018 JOB 012 005 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. 018 JOB 012 006 The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. 018 JOB 012 007 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 018 JOB 012 008 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee. 018 JOB 012 009 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? 018 JOB 012 010 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. 018 JOB 012 011 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste its food? 018 JOB 012 012 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. 018 JOB 012 013 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. 018 JOB 012 014 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. 018 JOB 012 015 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. 018 JOB 012 016 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. 018 JOB 012 017 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. 018 JOB 012 018 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a belt. 018 JOB 012 019 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. 018 JOB 012 020 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. 018 JOB 012 021 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. 018 JOB 012 022 He revealeth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth to light the shadow of death. 018 JOB 012 023 He increaseth nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth nations, and leadeth them away. 018 JOB 012 024 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. 018 JOB 012 025 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. 018 JOB 013 001 Lo, my eye hath seen all this, my ear hath heard and understood it. 018 JOB 013 002 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior to you. 018 JOB 013 003 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. 018 JOB 013 004 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. 018 JOB 013 005 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. 018 JOB 013 006 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. 018 JOB 013 007 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? 018 JOB 013 008 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? 018 JOB 013 009 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? 018 JOB 013 010 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. 018 JOB 013 011 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? 018 JOB 013 012 Your remembrances are like ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. 018 JOB 013 013 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. 018 JOB 013 014 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand? 018 JOB 013 015 Though he shall slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will defend my own ways before him. 018 JOB 013 016 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. 018 JOB 013 017 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. 018 JOB 013 018 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. 018 JOB 013 019 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. 018 JOB 013 020 Only do not two things to me: then will I not hide myself from thee. 018 JOB 013 021 Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid. 018 JOB 013 022 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me. 018 JOB 013 023 How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. 018 JOB 013 024 Why hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thy enemy? 018 JOB 013 025 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 018 JOB 013 026 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. 018 JOB 013 027 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and observest carefully all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. 018 JOB 013 028 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten. 018 JOB 014 001 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 018 JOB 014 002 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 018 JOB 014 003 And dost thou open thy eyes upon such one, and bring me into judgment with thee? 018 JOB 014 004 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. 018 JOB 014 005 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 018 JOB 014 006 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. 018 JOB 014 007 For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender branch will not cease. 018 JOB 014 008 Though its root shall become old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground; 018 JOB 014 009 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 018 JOB 014 010 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 018 JOB 014 011 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: 018 JOB 014 012 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens shall be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 018 JOB 014 013 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest conceal me, until thy wrath is past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 014 014 If a man dieth, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change shall come. 018 JOB 014 015 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thy hands. 018 JOB 014 016 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? 018 JOB 014 017 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up my iniquity. 018 JOB 014 018 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place. 018 JOB 014 019 The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. 018 JOB 014 020 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. 018 JOB 014 021 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. 018 JOB 014 022 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. 018 JOB 015 001 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 018 JOB 015 002 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? 018 JOB 015 003 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches which he can do no good? 018 JOB 015 004 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. 018 JOB 015 005 For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 018 JOB 015 006 Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thy own lips testify against thee. 018 JOB 015 007 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills? 018 JOB 015 008 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou limit wisdom to thyself? 018 JOB 015 009 What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us? 018 JOB 015 010 With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father. 018 JOB 015 011 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee? 018 JOB 015 012 Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at, 018 JOB 015 013 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth? 018 JOB 015 014 What is man, that he should be clean? and he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 018 JOB 015 015 Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 018 JOB 015 016 How much more abominable and filthy is man, who drinketh iniquity like water? 018 JOB 015 017 I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare; 018 JOB 015 018 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it: 018 JOB 015 019 To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them. 018 JOB 015 020 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. 018 JOB 015 021 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. 018 JOB 015 022 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword. 018 JOB 015 023 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. 018 JOB 015 024 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. 018 JOB 015 025 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. 018 JOB 015 026 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon his thick strong shield: 018 JOB 015 027 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh his flanks heavy with fat. 018 JOB 015 028 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. 018 JOB 015 029 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection of it upon the earth. 018 JOB 015 030 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. 018 JOB 015 031 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence. 018 JOB 015 032 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green. 018 JOB 015 033 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. 018 JOB 015 034 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. 018 JOB 015 035 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their heart prepareth deceit. 018 JOB 016 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 016 002 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. 018 JOB 016 003 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? 018 JOB 016 004 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you. 018 JOB 016 005 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should relieve your grief. 018 JOB 016 006 Though I speak, my grief is not relieved: and though I forbear, what am I eased? 018 JOB 016 007 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. 018 JOB 016 008 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. 018 JOB 016 009 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 018 JOB 016 010 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. 018 JOB 016 011 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 018 JOB 016 012 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 018 JOB 016 013 His archers surround me, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. 018 JOB 016 014 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. 018 JOB 016 015 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my strength in the dust. 018 JOB 016 016 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids are the shadow of death; 018 JOB 016 017 Not for any injustice in my hands: also my prayer is pure. 018 JOB 016 018 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. 018 JOB 016 019 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. 018 JOB 016 020 My friends scorn me: but my eye poureth out tears to God. 018 JOB 016 021 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! 018 JOB 016 022 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way from which I shall not return. 018 JOB 017 001 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. 018 JOB 017 002 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not my eye continue in their provocation? 018 JOB 017 003 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? 018 JOB 017 004 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. 018 JOB 017 005 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. 018 JOB 017 006 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and as one before whom men spit. 018 JOB 017 007 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 018 JOB 017 008 Upright men shall be appalled at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. 018 JOB 017 009 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 018 JOB 017 010 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. 018 JOB 017 011 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 018 JOB 017 012 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 018 JOB 017 013 If I wait, the grave is my house: I have made my bed in the darkness. (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 017 014 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 018 JOB 017 015 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 018 JOB 017 016 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 018 001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 018 JOB 018 002 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. 018 JOB 018 003 Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? 018 JOB 018 004 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place? 018 JOB 018 005 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. 018 JOB 018 006 The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp shall be put out with him. 018 JOB 018 007 The steps of his strength shall be shortened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 018 JOB 018 008 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. 018 JOB 018 009 The trap shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. 018 JOB 018 010 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. 018 JOB 018 011 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. 018 JOB 018 012 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. 018 JOB 018 013 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. 018 JOB 018 014 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. 018 JOB 018 015 It shall dwell in his tent, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. 018 JOB 018 016 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. 018 JOB 018 017 The remembrance of him shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. 018 JOB 018 018 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. 018 JOB 018 019 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. 018 JOB 018 020 They that come after him shall be appalled at his day, as they that went before were seized with horror. 018 JOB 018 021 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. 018 JOB 019 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 019 002 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? 018 JOB 019 003 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. 018 JOB 019 004 And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remaineth with myself. 018 JOB 019 005 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: 018 JOB 019 006 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net. 018 JOB 019 007 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 018 JOB 019 008 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 018 JOB 019 009 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 018 JOB 019 010 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree. 018 JOB 019 011 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as one of his enemies. 018 JOB 019 012 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tent. 018 JOB 019 013 He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 018 JOB 019 014 My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 018 JOB 019 015 They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 018 JOB 019 016 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth. 018 JOB 019 017 My breath is strange to my wife, though I make supplication to the children of my own body. 018 JOB 019 018 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me. 018 JOB 019 019 All my close friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. 018 JOB 019 020 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth. 018 JOB 019 021 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 018 JOB 019 022 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? 018 JOB 019 023 O that my words were now written!

and where is the place of understanding? 018 JOB 028 013 Man knoweth not the price of it; neither is it found in the land of the living. 018 JOB 028 014 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. 018 JOB 028 015 It cannot be obtained for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price of it. 018 JOB 028 016 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 018 JOB 028 017 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. 018 JOB 028 018 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 018 JOB 028 019 The topaz of Cush shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 018 JOB 028 020 Where then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? 018 JOB 028 021 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. 018 JOB 028 022 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame of it with our ears. 018 JOB 028 023 God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth its place. 018 JOB 028 024 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; 018 JOB 028 025 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. 018 JOB 028 026 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: 018 JOB 028 027 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 018 JOB 028 028 And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. 018 JOB 029 001 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 018 JOB 029 002 O that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; 018 JOB 029 003 When his lamp shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; 018 JOB 029 004 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tent; 018 JOB 029 005 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; 018 JOB 029 006 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; 018 JOB 029 007 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street! 018 JOB 029 008 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up. 018 JOB 029 009 The princes stopped talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. 018 JOB 029 010 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 018 JOB 029 011 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: 018 JOB 029 012 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. 018 JOB 029 013 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. 018 JOB 029 014 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. 018 JOB 029 015 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. 018 JOB 029 016 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. 018 JOB 029 017 And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the prey out of his teeth. 018 JOB 029 018 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. 018 JOB 029 019 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. 018 JOB 029 020 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. 018 JOB 029 021 To me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. 018 JOB 029 022 After my words they spoke not again; and my speech fell upon them. 018 JOB 029 023 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. 018 JOB 029 024 If I mocked at them, they had no confidence; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. 018 JOB 029 025 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners. 018 JOB 030 001 But now they that are younger than I hold me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock. 018 JOB 030 002 Yea, to what might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age had perished? 018 JOB 030 003 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. 018 JOB 030 004 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their food. 018 JOB 030 005 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief; ) 018 JOB 030 006 To dwell in the clefts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. 018 JOB 030 007 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. 018 JOB 030 008 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. 018 JOB 030 009 And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword. 018 JOB 030 010 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. 018 JOB 030 011 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. 018 JOB 030 012 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. 018 JOB 030 013 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. 018 JOB 030 014 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. 018 JOB 030 015 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. 018 JOB 030 016 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. 018 JOB 030 017 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. 018 JOB 030 018 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. 018 JOB 030 019 He hath cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes. 018 JOB 030 020 I cry to thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. 018 JOB 030 021 Thou hast become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. 018 JOB 030 022 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. 018 JOB 030 023 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. 018 JOB 030 024 Yet he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. 018 JOB 030 025 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? 018 JOB 030 026 When I looked for good, then evil came: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. 018 JOB 030 027 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction came upon me. 018 JOB 030 028 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. 018 JOB 030 029 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. 018 JOB 030 030 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. 018 JOB 030 031 My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. 018 JOB 031 001 I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 018 JOB 031 002 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? 018 JOB 031 003 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? 018 JOB 031 004 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? 018 JOB 031 005 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; 018 JOB 031 006 Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity. 018 JOB 031 007 If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after my eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to my hands; 018 JOB 031 008 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 018 JOB 031 009 If my heart hath been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door; 018 JOB 031 010 Then let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down upon her. 018 JOB 031 011 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 018 JOB 031 012 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all my increase. 018 JOB 031 013 If I despised the cause of my male or female servant, when they contended with me; 018 JOB 031 014 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 018 JOB 031 015 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? 018 JOB 031 016 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 018 JOB 031 017 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten of it; 018 JOB 031 018 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb; ) 018 JOB 031 019 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; 018 JOB 031 020 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 018 JOB 031 021 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: 018 JOB 031 022 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone. 018 JOB 031 023 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. 018 JOB 031 024 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; 018 JOB 031 025 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gained much; 018 JOB 031 026 If I have beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; 018 JOB 031 027 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: 018 JOB 031 028 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. 018 JOB 031 029 If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or have lifted up myself when evil found him: 018 JOB 031 030 Neither have I allowed my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. 018 JOB 031 031 If the men of my tent have not said, O that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied. 018 JOB 031 032 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller. 018 JOB 031 033 If I have covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom: 018 JOB 031 034 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door? 018 JOB 031 035 O that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that my adversary had written a book. 018 JOB 031 036 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. 018 JOB 031 037 I would declare to him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near to him. 018 JOB 031 038 If my land crieth against me, or its furrows likewise complain; 018 JOB 031 039 If I have eaten the fruits of it without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life: 018 JOB 031 040 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. 018 JOB 032 001 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 018 JOB 032 002 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. 018 JOB 032 003 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 018 JOB 032 004 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. 018 JOB 032 005 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. 018 JOB 032 006 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; therefore I was afraid, and dared not show you my opinion. 018 JOB 032 007 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 018 JOB 032 008 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 018 JOB 032 009 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. 018 JOB 032 010 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my opinion. 018 JOB 032 011 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, while ye searched out what to say. 018 JOB 032 012 Yea, I attended to you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: 018 JOB 032 013 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. 018 JOB 032 014 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. 018 JOB 032 015 They were amazed, they answered no more: they stopped speaking. 018 JOB 032 016 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; ) 018 JOB 032 017 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion. 018 JOB 032 018 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. 018 JOB 032 019 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. 018 JOB 032 020 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. 018 JOB 032 021 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles to man. 018 JOB 032 022 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. 018 JOB 033 001 Therefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. 018 JOB 033 002 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. 018 JOB 033 003 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. 018 JOB 033 004 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 018 JOB 033 005 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, take thy stand. 018 JOB 033 006 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay. 018 JOB 033 007 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. 018 JOB 033 008 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, 018 JOB 033 009 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. 018 JOB 033 010 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, 018 JOB 033 011 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. 018 JOB 033 012 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. 018 JOB 033 013 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. 018 JOB 033 014 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 018 JOB 033 015 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 018 JOB 033 016 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 018 JOB 033 017 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 018 JOB 033 018 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 018 JOB 033 019 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: 018 JOB 033 020 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food. 018 JOB 033 021 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 018 JOB 033 022 Yea, his soul draweth near to the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 018 JOB 033 023 If there is a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man his uprightness: 018 JOB 033 024 Then he is gracious to him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. 018 JOB 033 025 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth: 018 JOB 033 026 He shall pray to God, and he will be favourable to him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render to man his righteousness. 018 JOB 033 027 He looketh upon men, and if any shall say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; 018 JOB 033 028 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 018 JOB 033 029 Lo, all these things God often worketh with man, 018 JOB 033 030 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. 018 JOB 033 031 Mark well, O Job, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. 018 JOB 033 032 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. 018 JOB 033 033 If not, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. 018 JOB 034 001 Furthermore Elihu answered and said, 018 JOB 034 002 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear to me, ye that have knowledge. 018 JOB 034 003 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth food. 018 JOB 034 004 Let us choose for ourselves what is right: let us know among ourselves what is good. 018 JOB 034 005 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. 018 JOB 034 006 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. 018 JOB 034 007 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? 018 JOB 034 008 Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. 018 JOB 034 009 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. 018 JOB 034 010 Therefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. 018 JOB 034 011 For the work of a man he shall render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. 018 JOB 034 012 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 018 JOB 034 013 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? 018 JOB 034 014 If he should set his heart upon man, if he should gather to himself his spirit and his breath; 018 JOB 034 015 All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust. 018 JOB 034 016 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. 018 JOB 034 017 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? 018 JOB 034 018 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? 018 JOB 034 019 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. 018 JOB 034 020 In a moment they shall die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. 018 JOB 034 021 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 018 JOB 034 022 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 018 JOB 034 023 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. 018 JOB 034 024 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. 018 JOB 034 025 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. 018 JOB 034 026 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; 018 JOB 034 027 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: 018 JOB 034 028 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. 018 JOB 034 029 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only: 018 JOB 034 030 That the hypocrite may not reign, lest the people should be ensnared. 018 JOB 034 031 Surely hast any one said to God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: 018 JOB 034 032 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. 018 JOB 034 033 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou shalt refuse, or whether thou shalt choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. 018 JOB 034 034 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken to me. 018 JOB 034 035 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. 018 JOB 034 036 My desire is that Job may be tried to the end because of his answers for wicked men. 018 JOB 034 037 For he addeth rebellion to his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. 018 JOB 035 001 Elihu spoke moreover, and said, 018 JOB 035 002 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s? 018 JOB 035 003 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? 018 JOB 035 004 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. 018 JOB 035 005 Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. 018 JOB 035 006 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions are multiplied, what doest thou to him? 018 JOB 035 007 If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand? 018 JOB 035 008 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. 018 JOB 035 009 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. 018 JOB 035 010 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; 018 JOB 035 011 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? 018 JOB 035 012 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. 018 JOB 035 013 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. 018 JOB 035 014 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. 018 JOB 035 015 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: 018 JOB 035 016 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. 018 JOB 036 001 Elihu also proceeded, and said, 018 JOB 036 002 Bear with me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf. 018 JOB 036 003 I will bring my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 018 JOB 036 004 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. 018 JOB 036 005 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 018 JOB 036 006 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. 018 JOB 036 007 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. 018 JOB 036 008 And if they are bound in fetters, and are held in cords of affliction; 018 JOB 036 009 Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. 018 JOB 036 010 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 018 JOB 036 011 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 018 JOB 036 012 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 018 JOB 036 013 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 018 JOB 036 014 They die in youth, and their life is among the sodomites. 018 JOB 036 015 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. 018 JOB 036 016 Even so would he have removed thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no restraint; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. 018 JOB 036 017 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. 018 JOB 036 018 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. 018 JOB 036 019 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. 018 JOB 036 020 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. 018 JOB 036 021 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 018 JOB 036 022 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? 018 JOB 036 023 Who hath directed him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? 018 JOB 036 024 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. 018 JOB 036 025 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. 018 JOB 036 026 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. 018 JOB 036 027 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour of it: 018 JOB 036 028 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. 018 JOB 036 029 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? 018 JOB 036 030 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. 018 JOB 036 031 For by them he judgeth the people; he giveth food in abundance. 018 JOB 036 032 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh between. 018 JOB 036 033 The noise of it showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. 018 JOB 037 001 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place. 018 JOB 037 002 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 018 JOB 037 003 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. 018 JOB 037 004 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not restrain them when his voice is heard. 018 JOB 037 005 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things he doeth, which we cannot comprehend. 018 JOB 037 006 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 018 JOB 037 007 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 018 JOB 037 008 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 018 JOB 037 009 From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the north. 018 JOB 037 010 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is narrowed. 018 JOB 037 011 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 018 JOB 037 012 And it is turned around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the earth. 018 JOB 037 013 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 018 JOB 037 014 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 018 JOB 037 015 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 018 JOB 037 016 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? 018 JOB 037 017 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 018 JOB 037 018 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 018 JOB 037 019 Teach us what we shall say to him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. 018 JOB 037 020 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man shall speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 018 JOB 037 021 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 018 JOB 037 022 Fair weather cometh from the north: with God is terrible majesty. 018 JOB 037 023 As for the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: he will not afflict. 018 JOB 037 024 Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. 018 JOB 038 001 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 018 JOB 038 002 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 018 JOB 038 003 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 018 JOB 038 004 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 018 JOB 038 005 Who hath laid the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 018 JOB 038 006 Upon what are the foundations of it fastened? or who laid its corner stone; 018 JOB 038 007 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 018 JOB 038 008 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 018 JOB 038 009 When I made a cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 018 JOB 038 010 And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, 018 JOB 038 011 And said, Thus far shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? 018 JOB 038 012 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know its place; 018 JOB 038 013 That it might take hold of the ends of earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 018 JOB 038 014 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. 018 JOB 038 015 And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken. 018 JOB 038 016 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? 018 JOB 038 017 Have the gates of death been revealed to thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? 018 JOB 038 018 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. 018 JOB 038 019 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is its place, 018 JOB 038 020 That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house? 018 JOB 038 021 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? 018 JOB 038 022 Hast thou entered into the treasuries of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail, 018 JOB 038 023 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? 018 JOB 038 024 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? 018 JOB 038 025 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 018 JOB 038 026 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, in which there is no man; 018 JOB 038 027 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 018 JOB 038 028 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of the dew? 018 JOB 038 029 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 018 JOB 038 030 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 018 JOB 038 031 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 018 JOB 038 032 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in its season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with its sons? 018 JOB 038 033 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set its dominion on the earth? 018 JOB 038 034 Canst thou lift thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 018 JOB 038 035 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say to thee, Here we are? 018 JOB 038 036 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? 018 JOB 038 037 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can pour out the water bottles of heaven, 018 JOB 038 038 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 018 JOB 038 039 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 018 JOB 038 040 When they crouch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? 018 JOB 038 041 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry to God, they wander for want of food. 018 JOB 039 001 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? 018 JOB 039 002 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? 018 JOB 039 003 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. 018 JOB 039 004 Their young ones are become strong, they grow strong with grain; they go forth, and return not to them. 018 JOB 039 005 Who hath sent out the wild donkey free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild donkey? 018 JOB 039 006 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. 018 JOB 039 007 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. 018 JOB 039 008 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. 018 JOB 039 009 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? 018 JOB 039 010 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? 018 JOB 039 011 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? 018 JOB 039 012 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? 018 JOB 039 013 Gavest thou the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich? 018 JOB 039 014 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust, 018 JOB 039 015 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. 018 JOB 039 016 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; 018 JOB 039 017 Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. 018 JOB 039 018 When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. 018 JOB 039 019 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? 018 JOB 039 020 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. 018 JOB 039 021 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. 018 JOB 039 022 He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; neither turneth he back from the sword. 018 JOB 039 023 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. 018 JOB 039 024 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. 018 JOB 039 025 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 018 JOB 039 026 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? 018 JOB 039 027 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? 018 JOB 039 028 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. 018 JOB 039 029 From there she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. 018 JOB 039 030 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she. 018 JOB 040 001 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, 018 JOB 040 002 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. 018 JOB 040 003 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 018 JOB 040 004 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. 018 JOB 040 005 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 018 JOB 040 006 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 018 JOB 040 007 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me. 018 JOB 040 008 Wilt thou also settest aside my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 018 JOB 040 009 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like his? 018 JOB 040 010 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 018 JOB 040 011 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. 018 JOB 040 012 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 018 JOB 040 013 Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret. 018 JOB 040 014 Then will I also confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee. 018 JOB 040 015 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 018 JOB 040 016 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the sinew of his belly. 018 JOB 040 017 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are knit together. 018 JOB 040 018 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 018 JOB 040 019 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him. 018 JOB 040 020 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 018 JOB 040 021 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 018 JOB 040 022 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him. 018 JOB 040 023 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 018 JOB 040 024 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. 018 JOB 041 001 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? 018 JOB 041 002 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 018 JOB 041 003 Will he make many supplications to thee? will he speak soft words to thee? 018 JOB 041 004 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? 018 JOB 041 005 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 018 JOB 041 006 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? 018 JOB 041 007 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? 018 JOB 041 008 Lay thy hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 018 JOB 041 009 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 018 JOB 041 010 None is so fierce that he dare rouse him: who then is able to stand before me? 018 JOB 041 011 Who hath given to me, that I should repay him? whatever is under the whole heaven is mine. 018 JOB 041 012 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 018 JOB 041 013 Who can uncover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? 018 JOB 041 014 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth there is terror. 018 JOB 041 015 His scales are his pride, shut together as with a close seal. 018 JOB 041 016 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. 018 JOB 041 017 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 018 JOB 041 018 His sneezes flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 018 JOB 041 019 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire dart forth. 018 JOB 041 020 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot or caldron. 018 JOB 041 021 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. 018 JOB 041 022 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 018 JOB 041 023 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. 018 JOB 041 024 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the lower millstone. 018 JOB 041 025 When he raiseth himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of the crashing they purify themselves. 018 JOB 041 026 The sword of him that overtaketh him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the javelin. 018 JOB 041 027 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 018 JOB 041 028 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 018 JOB 041 029 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 018 JOB 041 030 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 018 JOB 041 031 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 018 JOB 041 032 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 018 JOB 041 033 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 018 JOB 041 034 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. 018 JOB 042 001 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 018 JOB 042 002 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from thee. 018 JOB 042 003 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. 018 JOB 042 004 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me. 018 JOB 042 005 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee. 018 JOB 042 006 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. 018 JOB 042 007 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. 018 JOB 042 008 Therefore take to you now seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. 018 JOB 042 009 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job. 018 JOB 042 010 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. 018 JOB 042 011 Then came there to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they mourned with him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. 018 JOB 042 012 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 018 JOB 042 013 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 018 JOB 042 014 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. 018 JOB 042 015 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. 018 JOB 042 016 After this Job lived an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 018 JOB 042 017 So Job died, being old and full of days. # # BOOK 019 PSA Psalms Psalms 019 PSA 001 001 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers. 019 PSA 001 002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 019 PSA 001 003 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper. 019 PSA 001 004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 019 PSA 001 005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 019 PSA 001 006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 019 PSA 002 001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 019 PSA 002 002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 019 PSA 002 003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 019 PSA 002 004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 019 PSA 002 005 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his great displeasure. 019 PSA 002 006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 019 PSA 002 007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 019 PSA 002 008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 019 PSA 002 009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 019 PSA 002 010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 019 PSA 002 011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 019 PSA 002 012 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.

(Selah) 019 PSA 003 005 I laid me down and slept; I awoke; for the LORD sustained me. 019 PSA 003 006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me on all sides. 019 PSA 003 007 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 019 PSA 003 008 Salvation belongeth to the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah) 019 PSA 004 001 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 019 PSA 004 002 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah) 019 PSA 004 003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him. 019 PSA 004 004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah) 019 PSA 004 005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 019 PSA 004 006 There are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance. 019 PSA 004 007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time when their grain and their wine increased. 019 PSA 004 008 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep: for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety. 019 PSA 005 001 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 019 PSA 006 002 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled. 019 PSA 006 003 My soul is also greatly troubled: but thou, O LORD, how long? 019 PSA 006 004 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies’ sake. 019 PSA 006 005 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 006 006 I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 019 PSA 006 007 My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies. 019 PSA 006 008 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 019 PSA 006 009 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 019 PSA 006 010 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be suddenly ashamed. 019 PSA 007 001 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 019 PSA 012 002 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 019 PSA 012 003 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 019 PSA 012 004 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 019 PSA 012 005 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 019 PSA 012 006 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 019 PSA 012 007 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 019 PSA 012 008 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. 019 PSA 013 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 019 PSA 013 002 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 019 PSA 013 003 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 019 PSA 013 004 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 019 PSA 013 005 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 019 PSA 013 006 I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. 019 PSA 014 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 019 PSA 014 002 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 019 PSA 014 003 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 019 PSA 014 004 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 019 PSA 014 005 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 019 PSA 014 006 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 019 PSA 014 007 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. 019 PSA 015 001 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 019 PSA 015 002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 019 PSA 015 003 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 019 PSA 015 004 In whose eyes a vile person is despised; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 019 PSA 015 005 He that putteth not out his money to interest, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. 019 PSA 016 001 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 019 PSA 016 002 O my soul, thou hast said to the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; 019 PSA 016 003 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 019 PSA 016 004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips. 019 PSA 016 005 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 019 PSA 016 006 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 019 PSA 016 007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season. 019 PSA 016 008 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 019 PSA 016 009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 019 PSA 016 010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou permit thy Holy One to see corruption.

(Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 018 006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 019 PSA 018 007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was angry. 019 PSA 018 008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 019 PSA 018 009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 019 PSA 018 010 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew: yea, he flew upon the wings of the wind. 019 PSA 018 011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 019 PSA 018 012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 019 PSA 018 013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 019 PSA 018 014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and destroyed them. 019 PSA 018 015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 019 PSA 018 016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 019 PSA 018 017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me. 019 PSA 018 018 They came upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 019 PSA 018 019 He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 019 PSA 018 020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 019 PSA 018 021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 019 PSA 018 022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 019 PSA 018 023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity. 019 PSA 018 024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. 019 PSA 018 025 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright; 019 PSA 018 026 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt contend. 019 PSA 018 027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 019 PSA 018 028 For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 019 PSA 018 029 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 019 PSA 018 030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 019 PSA 018 031 For who is God except the LORD? or who is a rock except our God? 019 PSA 018 032 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 019 PSA 018 033 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 019 PSA 018 034 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms. 019 PSA 018 035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 019 PSA 018 036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 019 PSA 018 037 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 019 PSA 018 038 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet. 019 PSA 018 039 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 019 PSA 018 040 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 019 PSA 018 041 They cried, but there was none to save them: even to the LORD, but he answered them not. 019 PSA 018 042 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 019 PSA 018 043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 019 PSA 018 044 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me. 019 PSA 018 045 The strangers shall fade away, and come trembling out of their fortresses. 019 PSA 018 046 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 019 PSA 018 047 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 019 PSA 018 048 He delivereth me from my enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 019 PSA 018 049 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises to thy name. 019 PSA 018 050 He giveth great deliverance to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. 019 PSA 019 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork. 019 PSA 019 002 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth knowledge. 019 PSA 019 003 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 019 PSA 019 004 Their line hath gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 019 PSA 019 005 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 019 PSA 019 006 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to its ends: and there is nothing hid from his heat. 019 PSA 019 007 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 019 PSA 019 008 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 019 PSA 019 009 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 019 PSA 019 010 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 019 PSA 019 011 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 019 PSA 019 012 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 019 PSA 019 013 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 019 PSA 019 014 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. 019 PSA 020 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 019 PSA 020 002 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 019 PSA 020 003 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah) 019 PSA 020 004 Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 019 PSA 020 005 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. 019 PSA 020 006 Now I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 019 PSA 020 007 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 019 PSA 020 008 They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright. 019 PSA 020 009 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call. 019 PSA 021 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 019 PSA 021 002 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah) 019 PSA 021 003 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 019 PSA 021 004 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it to him, even length of days for ever and ever. 019 PSA 021 005 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 019 PSA 021 006 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 019 PSA 021 007 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 019 PSA 021 008 Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 019 PSA 021 009 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 019 PSA 021 010 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 019 PSA 021 011 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 019 PSA 021 012 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thy arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. 019 PSA 021 013 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. 019 PSA 022 001 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 019 PSA 022 002 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 019 PSA 022 003 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 019 PSA 022 004 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 019 PSA 022 005 They cried to thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 019 PSA 022 006 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. 019 PSA 022 007 All they that see me mock me: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 019 PSA 022 008 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 019 PSA 022 009 But thou art he that brought me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts. 019 PSA 022 010 I was cast upon thee from my birth: thou art my God from my mother’s womb. 019 PSA 022 011 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 019 PSA 022 012 Many bulls have surrounded me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me all round. 019 PSA 022 013 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 019 PSA 022 014 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted within me. 019 PSA 022 015 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 019 PSA 022 016 For dogs have surrounded me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 019 PSA 022 017 I may number all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 019 PSA 022 018 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 019 PSA 022 019 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 019 PSA 022 020 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 019 PSA 022 021 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 019 PSA 022 022 I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 019 PSA 022 023 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 019 PSA 022 024 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard. 019 PSA 022 025 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 019 PSA 022 026 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 019 PSA 022 027 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 019 PSA 022 028 For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations. 019 PSA 022 029 All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 019 PSA 022 030 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 019 PSA 022 031 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. 019 PSA 023 001 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 019 PSA 023 002 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 019 PSA 023 003 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 019 PSA 023 004 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 019 PSA 023 005 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 019 PSA 023 006 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 019 PSA 024 001 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and all it containeth; the world, and they that dwell in it. 019 PSA 024 002 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 019 PSA 024 003 Who shall ascend upon the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his holy place? 019 PSA 024 004 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 019 PSA 024 005 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 019 PSA 024 006 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah) 019 PSA 024 007 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 019 PSA 024 008 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 019 PSA 024 009 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 019 PSA 024 010 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah) 019 PSA 025 001 A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 019 PSA 025 002 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me. 019 PSA 025 003 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause. 019 PSA 025 004 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 019 PSA 025 005 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 019 PSA 025 006 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 019 PSA 025 007 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. 019 PSA 025 008 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 019 PSA 025 009 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 019 PSA 025 010 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 019 PSA 025 011 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great. 019 PSA 025 012 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 019 PSA 025 013 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 019 PSA 025 014 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. 019 PSA 025 015 My eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 019 PSA 025 016 Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. 019 PSA 025 017 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. 019 PSA 025 018 Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 019 PSA 025 019 Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 019 PSA 025 020 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 019 PSA 025 021 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 019 PSA 025 022 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. 019 PSA 026 001 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 019 PSA 026 002 Examine me, O LORD, and test me; try my reins and my heart. 019 PSA 026 003 For thy lovingkindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 019 PSA 026 004 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites. 019 PSA 026 005 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked. 019 PSA 026 006 I will wash my hands in innocency: so will I go about thy altar, O LORD: 019 PSA 026 007 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. 019 PSA 026 008 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honour dwelleth. 019 PSA 026 009 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 019 PSA 026 010 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 019 PSA 026 011 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me. 019 PSA 026 012 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. 019 PSA 027 001 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 019 PSA 027 002 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 019 PSA 027 003 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 019 PSA 027 004 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 019 PSA 027 005 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 019 PSA 027 006 And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to the LORD. 019 PSA 027 007 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 019 PSA 027 008 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said to thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 019 PSA 027 009 Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 019 PSA 027 010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 019 PSA 027 011 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies. 019 PSA 027 012 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 019 PSA 027 013 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 019 PSA 027 014 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 019 PSA 028 001 A Psalm of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou shouldest be silent to me, I should become like them that go down into the pit. 019 PSA 028 002 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to thee, when I lift my hands toward thy holy oracle. 019 PSA 028 003 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 019 PSA 028 004 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 019 PSA 028 005 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 019 PSA 028 006 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 019 PSA 028 007 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 019 PSA 028 008 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 019 PSA 028 009 Save thy people, and bless thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. 019 PSA 029 001 A Psalm of David.

I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 019 PSA 030 002 O LORD my God, I cried to thee, and thou hast healed me. 019 PSA 030 003 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 030 004 Sing to the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 019 PSA 030 005 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 019 PSA 030 006 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 019 PSA 030 007 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. 019 PSA 030 008 I cried to thee, O LORD; and to the LORD I made supplication. 019 PSA 030 009 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? 019 PSA 030 010 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. 019 PSA 030 011 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 019 PSA 030 012 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever. 019 PSA 031 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 019 PSA 031 002 Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. 019 PSA 031 003 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me. 019 PSA 031 004 Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me: for thou art my strength. 019 PSA 031 005 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. 019 PSA 031 006 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. 019 PSA 031 007 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; 019 PSA 031 008 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place. 019 PSA 031 009 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body. 019 PSA 031 010 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed. 019 PSA 031 011 I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me. 019 PSA 031 012 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. 019 PSA 031 013 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. 019 PSA 031 014 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. 019 PSA 031 015 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me. 019 PSA 031 016 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake. 019 PSA 031 017 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 031 018 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. 019 PSA 031 019 O how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 019 PSA 031 020 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 019 PSA 031 021 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. 019 PSA 031 022 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee. 019 PSA 031 023 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. 019 PSA 031 024 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. 019 PSA 032 001 A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 019 PSA 032 002 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 019 PSA 032 003 When I kept silence, my bones became old through my roaring all the day long. 019 PSA 032 004 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah) 019 PSA 032 005 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah) 019 PSA 032 006 For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him. 019 PSA 032 007 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah) 019 PSA 032 008 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye. 019 PSA 032 009 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee. 019 PSA 032 010 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall surround him. 019 PSA 032 011 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. 019 PSA 033 001 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. 019 PSA 033 002 Praise the LORD with harp: sing to him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 019 PSA 033 003 Sing to him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 019 PSA 033 004 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. 019 PSA 033 005 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. 019 PSA 033 006 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 019 PSA 033 007 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in store houses. 019 PSA 033 008 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 019 PSA 033 009 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 019 PSA 033 010 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of no effect. 019 PSA 033 011 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 019 PSA 033 012 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 019 PSA 033 013 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 019 PSA 033 014 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 019 PSA 033 015 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. 019 PSA 033 016 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 019 PSA 033 017 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 019 PSA 033 018 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 019 PSA 033 019 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 019 PSA 033 020 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. 019 PSA 033 021 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 019 PSA 033 022 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. 019 PSA 034 001 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 019 PSA 034 002 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear of it, and be glad. 019 PSA 034 003 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 019 PSA 034 004 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 019 PSA 034 005 They looked to him, and were shining: and their faces were not ashamed. 019 PSA 034 006 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 019 PSA 034 007 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them. 019 PSA 034 008 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 019 PSA 034 009 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him. 019 PSA 034 010 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. 019 PSA 034 011 Come, ye children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 019 PSA 034 012 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 019 PSA 034 013 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 019 PSA 034 014 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 019 PSA 034 015 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. 019 PSA 034 016 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 019 PSA 034 017 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 019 PSA 034 018 The LORD is near to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit. 019 PSA 034 019 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 019 PSA 034 020 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 019 PSA 034 021 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 019 PSA 034 022 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. 019 PSA 035 001 A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. 019 PSA 035 002 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. 019 PSA 035 003 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation. 019 PSA 035 004 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. 019 PSA 035 005 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. 019 PSA 035 006 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. 019 PSA 035 007 For without cause they have hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul. 019 PSA 035 008 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. 019 PSA 035 009 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. 019 PSA 035 010 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, even the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? 019 PSA 035 011 False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. 019 PSA 035 012 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. 019 PSA 035 013 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom. 019 PSA 035 014 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. 019 PSA 035 015 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the smiters gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: 019 PSA 035 016 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. 019 PSA 035 017 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. 019 PSA 035 018 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people. 019 PSA 035 019 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. 019 PSA 035 020 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. 019 PSA 035 021 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. 019 PSA 035 022 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. 019 PSA 035 023 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even to my cause, my God and my Lord. 019 PSA 035 024 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. 019 PSA 035 025 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. 019 PSA 035 026 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. 019 PSA 035 027 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. 019 PSA 035 028 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. 019 PSA 036 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. 019 PSA 036 002 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity is found to be hateful. 019 PSA 036 003 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath ceased to be wise, and to do good. 019 PSA 036 004 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. 019 PSA 036 005 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth to the clouds. 019 PSA 036 006 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 019 PSA 036 007 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. 019 PSA 036 008 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 019 PSA 036 009 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. 019 PSA 036 010 O continue thy lovingkindness to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. 019 PSA 036 011 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. 019 PSA 036 012 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. 019 PSA 037 001 A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 019 PSA 037 002 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 019 PSA 037 003 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 019 PSA 037 004 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thy heart. 019 PSA 037 005 Commit thy way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 019 PSA 037 006 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 019 PSA 037 007 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 019 PSA 037 008 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any way to do evil. 019 PSA 037 009 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 019 PSA 037 010 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 019 PSA 037 011 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 019 PSA 037 012 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 019 PSA 037 013 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 019 PSA 037 014 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as are of upright conduct. 019 PSA 037 015 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 019 PSA 037 016 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 019 PSA 037 017 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 019 PSA 037 018 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 019 PSA 037 019 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 019 PSA 037 020 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 019 PSA 037 021 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. 019 PSA 037 022 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and they that are cursed by him shall be cut off. 019 PSA 037 023 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 019 PSA 037 024 Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 019 PSA 037 025 I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 019 PSA 037 026 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 019 PSA 037 027 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 019 PSA 037 028 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 019 PSA 037 029 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it for ever. 019 PSA 037 030 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 019 PSA 037 031 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 019 PSA 037 032 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 019 PSA 037 033 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 019 PSA 037 034 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 019 PSA 037 035 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 019 PSA 037 036 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 019 PSA 037 037 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 019 PSA 037 038 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 019 PSA 037 039 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 019 PSA 037 040 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. 019 PSA 038 001 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 019 PSA 038 002 For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me. 019 PSA 038 003 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 019 PSA 038 004 For my iniquities have gone over my head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 019 PSA 038 005 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 019 PSA 038 006 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 019 PSA 038 007 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 019 PSA 038 008 I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 019 PSA 038 009 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 019 PSA 038 010 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me. 019 PSA 038 011 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 019 PSA 038 012 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 019 PSA 038 013 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 019 PSA 038 014 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 019 PSA 038 015 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. 019 PSA 038 016 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 019 PSA 038 017 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 019 PSA 038 018 For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 019 PSA 038 019 But my enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 019 PSA 038 020 They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that is good. 019 PSA 038 021 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. 019 PSA 038 022 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. 019 PSA 039 001 To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 019 PSA 039 002 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. 019 PSA 039 003 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then I spoke with my tongue, 019 PSA 039 004 LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. 019 PSA 039 005 Behold, thou hast made my days as an hand breadth; and my age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. (Selah) 019 PSA 039 006 Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 019 PSA 039 007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. 019 PSA 039 008 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. 019 PSA 039 009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. 019 PSA 039 010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand. 019 PSA 039 011 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. (Selah) 019 PSA 039 012 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 019 PSA 039 013 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I depart, and be no more. 019 PSA 040 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry. 019 PSA 040 002 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 019 PSA 040 003 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 019 PSA 040 004 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 019 PSA 040 005 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 019 PSA 040 006 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 019 PSA 040 007 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 019 PSA 040 008 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 019 PSA 040 009 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 019 PSA 040 010 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 019 PSA 040 011 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 019 PSA 040 012 For innumerable evils have surrounded me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me. 019 PSA 040 013 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. 019 PSA 040 014 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 019 PSA 040 015 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha. 019 PSA 040 016 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. 019 PSA 040 017 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God. 019 PSA 041 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble. 019 PSA 041 002 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies. 019 PSA 041 003 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 019 PSA 041 004 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 019 PSA 041 005 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 019 PSA 041 006 And if he cometh to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 019 PSA 041 007 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 019 PSA 041 008 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more. 019 PSA 041 009 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 019 PSA 041 010 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them. 019 PSA 041 011 By this I know that thou favourest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me. 019 PSA 041 012 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. 019 PSA 041 013 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. 019 PSA 042 001 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul panteth after thee, O God. 019 PSA 042 002 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 019 PSA 042 003 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, Where is thy God? 019 PSA 042 004 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. 019 PSA 042 005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 019 PSA 042 006 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 019 PSA 042 007 Deep calleth to deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 019 PSA 042 008 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life. 019 PSA 042 009 I will say to God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 019 PSA 042 010 As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me; while they say daily to me, Where is thy God? 019 PSA 042 011 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 019 PSA 043 001 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 019 PSA 043 002 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 019 PSA 043 003 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 019 PSA 043 004 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 019 PSA 043 005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 019 PSA 044 001 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 019 PSA 044 002 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and didst plant them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 019 PSA 044 003 For they obtained not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour to them. 019 PSA 044 004 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 019 PSA 044 005 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name we will tread them under that rise up against us. 019 PSA 044 006 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 019 PSA 044 007 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 019 PSA 044 008 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. (Selah) 019 PSA 044 009 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 019 PSA 044 010 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us have taken spoil for themselves. 019 PSA 044 011 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 019 PSA 044 012 Thou sellest thy people for nothing, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 019 PSA 044 013 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are around us. 019 PSA 044 014 Thou makest us a by word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 019 PSA 044 015 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 019 PSA 044 016 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 019 PSA 044 017 All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 019 PSA 044 018 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 019 PSA 044 019 Though thou hast greatly broke us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 019 PSA 044 020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 019 PSA 044 021 Shall not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 019 PSA 044 022 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 019 PSA 044 023 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 019 PSA 044 024 Why hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 019 PSA 044 025 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth. 019 PSA 044 026 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake. 019 PSA 045 001 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a skilful writer. 019 PSA 045 002 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 019 PSA 045 003 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 019 PSA 045 004 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 019 PSA 045 005 Thy arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; by which the people fall under thee. 019 PSA 045 006 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of justice. 019 PSA 045 007 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions. 019 PSA 045 008 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee glad. 019 PSA 045 009 Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir. 019 PSA 045 010 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thy ear; forget also thy own people, and thy father’s house; 019 PSA 045 011 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 019 PSA 045 012 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour. 019 PSA 045 013 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. 019 PSA 045 014 She shall be brought to the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to thee. 019 PSA 045 015 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace. 019 PSA 045 016 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 019 PSA 045 017 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. 019 PSA 046 001 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 019 PSA 046 002 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea; 019 PSA 046 003 Though its waters shall roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. (Selah) 019 PSA 046 004 There is a river, the streams of which shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 019 PSA 046 005 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 019 PSA 046 006 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 019 PSA 046 007 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah) 019 PSA 046 008 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 019 PSA 046 009 He maketh wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 019 PSA 046 010 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 019 PSA 046 011 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout to God with the voice of triumph. 019 PSA 047 002 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. 019 PSA 047 003 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 019 PSA 047 004 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah) 019 PSA 047 005 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 019 PSA 047 006 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises. 019 PSA 047 007 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. 019 PSA 047 008 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. 019 PSA 047 009 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong to God: he is greatly exalted. 019 PSA 048 001 A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 019 PSA 048 002 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 019 PSA 048 003 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 019 PSA 048 004 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. 019 PSA 048 005 They saw it, and so they wondered; they were troubled, and hasted away. 019 PSA 048 006 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 019 PSA 048 007 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 019 PSA 048 008 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah) 019 PSA 048 009 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. 019 PSA 048 010 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. 019 PSA 048 011 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. 019 PSA 048 012 Walk about Zion, and go around her: number her towers. 019 PSA 048 013 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. 019 PSA 048 014 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even to death. 019 PSA 049 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: 019 PSA 049 002 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. 019 PSA 049 003 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 019 PSA 049 004 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 019 PSA 049 005 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall surround me? 019 PSA 049 006 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 019 PSA 049 007 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 019 PSA 049 008 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever: ) 019 PSA 049 009 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 019 PSA 049 010 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the stupid person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 019 PSA 049 011 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 019 PSA 049 012 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 019 PSA 049 013 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah) 019 PSA 049 014 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 049 015 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 049 016 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 019 PSA 049 017 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 019 PSA 049 018 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 019 PSA 049 019 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 019 PSA 049 020 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. 019 PSA 050 001 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising to the setting of the sun. 019 PSA 050 002 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 019 PSA 050 003 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous around him. 019 PSA 050 004 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 019 PSA 050 005 Gather my saints together to me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 019 PSA 050 006 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. (Selah) 019 PSA 050 007 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. 019 PSA 050 008 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 019 PSA 050 009 I will take no bull out of thy house, nor male goats out of thy folds. 019 PSA 050 010 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 019 PSA 050 011 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 019 PSA 050 012 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all it containeth. 019 PSA 050 013 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 019 PSA 050 014 Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows to the most High: 019 PSA 050 015 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 019 PSA 050 016 But to the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 019 PSA 050 017 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 019 PSA 050 018 When thou sawest a thief, then thou didst consent with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 019 PSA 050 019 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 019 PSA 050 020 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thy own mother’s son. 019 PSA 050 021 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 019 PSA 050 022 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 019 PSA 050 023 Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conduct aright will I show the salvation of God. 019 PSA 051 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 019 PSA 051 002 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 019 PSA 051 003 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 019 PSA 051 004 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 019 PSA 051 005 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 019 PSA 051 006 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 019 PSA 051 007 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 019 PSA 051 008 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 019 PSA 051 009 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 019 PSA 051 010 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 019 PSA 051 011 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. 019 PSA 051 012 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 019 PSA 051 013 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted to thee. 019 PSA 051 014 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 019 PSA 051 015 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. 019 PSA 051 016 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 019 PSA 051 017 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 019 PSA 051 018 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 019 PSA 051 019 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bulls upon thy altar. 019 PSA 052 001 To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. 019 PSA 052 002 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 019 PSA 052 003 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah) 019 PSA 052 004 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. 019 PSA 052 005 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah) 019 PSA 052 006 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: 019 PSA 052 007 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. 019 PSA 052 008 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. 019 PSA 052 009 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. 019 PSA 053 001 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 019 PSA 053 002 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 019 PSA 053 003 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 019 PSA 053 004 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. 019 PSA 053 005 There they were in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. 019 PSA 053 006 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. 019 PSA 054 001 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. 019 PSA 054 002 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 019 PSA 054 003 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah) 019 PSA 054 004 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. 019 PSA 054 005 He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in thy truth. 019 PSA 054 006 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. 019 PSA 054 007 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies. 019 PSA 055 001 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 019 PSA 055 002 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 019 PSA 055 003 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. 019 PSA 055 004 My heart is greatly pained within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. 019 PSA 055 005 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 019 PSA 055 006 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away, and be at rest. 019 PSA 055 007 Lo, then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. (Selah) 019 PSA 055 008 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. 019 PSA 055 009 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 019 PSA 055 010 Day and night they go about her upon her walls: mischief also and sorrow are in her midst. 019 PSA 055 011 Wickedness is in her midst: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. 019 PSA 055 012 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 019 PSA 055 013 But it was thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance. 019 PSA 055 014 We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company. 019 PSA 055 015 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down alive into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 055 016 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. 019 PSA 055 017 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. 019 PSA 055 018 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. 019 PSA 055 019 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. 019 PSA 055 020 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. 019 PSA 055 021 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. 019 PSA 055 022 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never allow the righteous to be moved. 019 PSA 055 023 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. 019 PSA 056 001 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 019 PSA 056 002 My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High. 019 PSA 056 003 When I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 019 PSA 056 004 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me. 019 PSA 056 005 Every day they pervert my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 019 PSA 056 006 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 019 PSA 056 007 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thy anger cast down the people, O God. 019 PSA 056 008 Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 019 PSA 056 009 When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 019 PSA 056 010 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. 019 PSA 056 011 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. 019 PSA 056 012 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee. 019 PSA 056 013 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? 019 PSA 057 001 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities are past by. 019 PSA 057 002 I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth all things for me. 019 PSA 057 003 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 019 PSA 057 004 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 019 PSA 057 005 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. 019 PSA 057 006 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen themselves. (Selah) 019 PSA 057 007 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 019 PSA 057 008 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 019 PSA 057 009 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations. 019 PSA 057 010 For thy mercy is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds. 019 PSA 057 011 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. 019 PSA 058 001 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 019 PSA 058 002 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 019 PSA 058 003 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. 019 PSA 058 004 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; 019 PSA 058 005 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. 019 PSA 058 006 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 019 PSA 058 007 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. 019 PSA 058 008 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 019 PSA 058 009 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 019 PSA 058 010 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 019 PSA 058 011 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. 019 PSA 059 001 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. 019 PSA 059 002 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. 019 PSA 059 003 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. 019 PSA 059 004 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. 019 PSA 059 005 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah) 019 PSA 059 006 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city. 019 PSA 059 007 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? 019 PSA 059 008 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. 019 PSA 059 009 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. 019 PSA 059 010 The God of my mercy shall help me: God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies. 019 PSA 059 011 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 019 PSA 059 012 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. 019 PSA 059 013 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Selah) 019 PSA 059 014 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go about the city. 019 PSA 059 015 Let them wander up and down for food, and murmur if they are not satisfied. 019 PSA 059 016 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. 019 PSA 059 017 To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. 019 PSA 060 001 To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. 019 PSA 060 002 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh. 019 PSA 060 003 Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. 019 PSA 060 004 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah) 019 PSA 060 005 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. 019 PSA 060 006 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. 019 PSA 060 007 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver; 019 PSA 060 008 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. 019 PSA 060 009 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 019 PSA 060 010 Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies? 019 PSA 060 011 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 019 PSA 060 012 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies. 019 PSA 061 001 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. 019 PSA 061 002 From the end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 019 PSA 061 003 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 019 PSA 061 004 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the shelter of thy wings. (Selah) 019 PSA 061 005 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 019 PSA 061 006 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations. 019 PSA 061 007 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 019 PSA 061 008 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. 019 PSA 062 001 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 019 PSA 062 002 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. 019 PSA 062 003 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. 019 PSA 062 004 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah) 019 PSA 062 005 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 019 PSA 062 006 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 019 PSA 062 007 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 019 PSA 062 008 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah) 019 PSA 062 009 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. 019 PSA 062 010 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 019 PSA 062 011 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth to God. 019 PSA 062 012 Also to thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. 019 PSA 063 001 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 019 PSA 063 002 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 019 PSA 063 003 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 019 PSA 063 004 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 019 PSA 063 005 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 019 PSA 063 006 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. 019 PSA 063 007 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 019 PSA 063 008 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 019 PSA 063 009 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 019 PSA 063 010 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. 019 PSA 063 011 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. 019 PSA 064 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 019 PSA 064 002 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 019 PSA 064 003 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 019 PSA 064 004 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 019 PSA 064 005 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they speak of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them? 019 PSA 064 006 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. 019 PSA 064 007 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. 019 PSA 064 008 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. 019 PSA 064 009 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. 019 PSA 064 010 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. 019 PSA 065 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be performed. 019 PSA 065 002 O thou that hearest prayer, to thee shall all flesh come. 019 PSA 065 003 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 019 PSA 065 004 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach to thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 019 PSA 065 005 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: 019 PSA 065 006 Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: 019 PSA 065 007 Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 019 PSA 065 008 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy signs: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 019 PSA 065 009 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them grain, when thou hast so provided for it. 019 PSA 065 010 Thou waterest the ridges of it abundantly: thou settlest its furrows: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest its growth. 019 PSA 065 011 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 019 PSA 065 012 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 019 PSA 065 013 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing. 019 PSA 066 001 To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands: 019 PSA 066 002 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 019 PSA 066 003 Say to God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee. 019 PSA 066 004 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee; they shall sing to thy name. (Selah) 019 PSA 066 005 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 019 PSA 066 006 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him. 019 PSA 066 007 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah) 019 PSA 066 008 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 019 PSA 066 009 Who holdeth our soul in life, and alloweth not our feet to be moved. 019 PSA 066 010 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 019 PSA 066 011 Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction upon our loins. 019 PSA 066 012 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. 019 PSA 066 013 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, 019 PSA 066 014 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 019 PSA 066 015 I will offer to thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah) 019 PSA 066 016 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 019 PSA 066 017 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 019 PSA 066 018 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 019 PSA 066 019 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 019 PSA 066 020 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. 019 PSA 067 001 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song. God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; (Selah) 019 PSA 067 002 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. 019 PSA 067 003 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 019 PSA 067 004 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. (Selah) 019 PSA 067 005 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 019 PSA 067 006 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 019 PSA 067 007 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. 019 PSA 068 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 019 PSA 068 002 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 019 PSA 068 003 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. 019 PSA 068 004 Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. 019 PSA 068 005 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. 019 PSA 068 006 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 019 PSA 068 007 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah) 019 PSA 068 008 The earth shook, the heavens also rained at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 019 PSA 068 009 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary. 019 PSA 068 010 Thy congregation hath dwelt in it: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. 019 PSA 068 011 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that proclaimed it. 019 PSA 068 012 Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. 019 PSA 068 013 Though ye lie among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. 019 PSA 068 014 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. 019 PSA 068 015 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. 019 PSA 068 016 Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. 019 PSA 068 017 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. 019 PSA 068 018 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. 019 PSA 068 019 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah) 019 PSA 068 020 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. 019 PSA 068 021 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses. 019 PSA 068 022 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: 019 PSA 068 023 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 019 PSA 068 024 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. 019 PSA 068 025 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. 019 PSA 068 026 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 019 PSA 068 027 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. 019 PSA 068 028 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 019 PSA 068 029 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee. 019 PSA 068 030 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one shall submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. 019 PSA 068 031 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God. 019 PSA 068 032 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to the Lord; (Selah) 019 PSA 068 033 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 019 PSA 068 034 Ascribe ye strength to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 019 PSA 068 035 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power to his people. Blessed be God. 019 PSA 069 001 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to my soul. 019 PSA 069 002 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 019 PSA 069 003 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God. 019 PSA 069 004 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. 019 PSA 069 005 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 019 PSA 069 006 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 019 PSA 069 007 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. 019 PSA 069 008 I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother’s children. 019 PSA 069 009 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me. 019 PSA 069 010 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. 019 PSA 069 011 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. 019 PSA 069 012 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. 019 PSA 069 013 But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 019 PSA 069 014 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 019 PSA 069 015 Let not the water flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 019 PSA 069 016 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 019 PSA 069 017 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. 019 PSA 069 018 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies. 019 PSA 069 019 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: my adversaries are all before thee. 019 PSA 069 020 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. 019 PSA 069 021 They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 019 PSA 069 022 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 019 PSA 069 023 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. 019 PSA 069 024 Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 019 PSA 069 025 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. 019 PSA 069 026 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 019 PSA 069 027 Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 019 PSA 069 028 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 019 PSA 069 029 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. 019 PSA 069 030 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 019 PSA 069 031 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bull that hath horns and hoofs. 019 PSA 069 032 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. 019 PSA 069 033 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. 019 PSA 069 034 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth in it. 019 PSA 069 035 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 019 PSA 069 036 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell in it. 019 PSA 070 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. 019 PSA 070 002 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. 019 PSA 070 003 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. 019 PSA 070 004 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. 019 PSA 070 005 But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay. 019 PSA 071 001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 019 PSA 071 002 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me. 019 PSA 071 003 Be thou my strong habitation, where I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 019 PSA 071 004 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 019 PSA 071 005 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. 019 PSA 071 006 By thee have I been sustained from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s womb: my praise shall be continually of thee. 019 PSA 071 007 I am as a wonder to many; but thou art my strong refuge. 019 PSA 071 008 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. 019 PSA 071 009 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 019 PSA 071 010 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, 019 PSA 071 011 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. 019 PSA 071 012 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. 019 PSA 071 013 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. 019 PSA 071 014 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. 019 PSA 071 015 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not their numbers. 019 PSA 071 016 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. 019 PSA 071 017 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and to this day have I declared thy wondrous works. 019 PSA 071 018 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 019 PSA 071 019 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee! 019 PSA 071 020 Thou, who hast shown me great and many troubles, wilt revive me again, and shalt bring me again from the depths of the earth. 019 PSA 071 021 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 019 PSA 071 022 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. 019 PSA 071 023 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, whom thou hast redeemed. 019 PSA 071 024 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt. 019 PSA 072 001 A Psalm for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king’s son. 019 PSA 072 002 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 019 PSA 072 003 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 019 PSA 072 004 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 019 PSA 072 005 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 019 PSA 072 006 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 019 PSA 072 007 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. 019 PSA 072 008 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. 019 PSA 072 009 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 019 PSA 072 010 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 019 PSA 072 011 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. 019 PSA 072 012 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. 019 PSA 072 013 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 019 PSA 072 014 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall be their blood in his sight. 019 PSA 072 015 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. 019 PSA 072 016 There shall be an handful of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; its fruit shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. 019 PSA 072 017 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. 019 PSA 072 018 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. 019 PSA 072 019 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. 019 PSA 072 020 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. 019 PSA 073 001 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. 019 PSA 073 002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had almost slipped. 019 PSA 073 003 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 019 PSA 073 004 For there are no pangs in their death: but their strength is firm. 019 PSA 073 005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they afflicted like other men. 019 PSA 073 006 Therefore pride surroundeth them as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 019 PSA 073 007 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 019 PSA 073 008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 019 PSA 073 009 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 019 PSA 073 010 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. 019 PSA 073 011 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? 019 PSA 073 012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 019 PSA 073 013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 019 PSA 073 014 For all the day long have I been afflicted, and chastened every morning. 019 PSA 073 015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 019 PSA 073 016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 019 PSA 073 017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end. 019 PSA 073 018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast them down into destruction. 019 PSA 073 019 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 019 PSA 073 020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. 019 PSA 073 021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 019 PSA 073 022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 019 PSA 073 023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast held me by my right hand. 019 PSA 073 024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 019 PSA 073 025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee. 019 PSA 073 026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 019 PSA 073 027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go astray from thee. 019 PSA 073 028 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. 019 PSA 074 001 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 019 PSA 074 002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt. 019 PSA 074 003 Lift up thy feet to the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 019 PSA 074 004 Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their banners for signs. 019 PSA 074 005 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 019 PSA 074 006 But now they break down its carved work at once with axes and hammers. 019 PSA 074 007 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 019 PSA 074 008 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 019 PSA 074 009 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 019 PSA 074 010 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 019 PSA 074 011 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. 019 PSA 074 012 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 019 PSA 074 013 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters. 019 PSA 074 014 Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, and didst give him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 019 PSA 074 015 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst dry up mighty rivers. 019 PSA 074 016 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 019 PSA 074 017 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. 019 PSA 074 018 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 019 PSA 074 019 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove to the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. 019 PSA 074 020 Have respect to the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 019 PSA 074 021 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 019 PSA 074 022 Arise, O God, plead thy own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. 019 PSA 074 023 Forget not the voice of thy enemies: the tumult of those that rise against thee increaseth continually. 019 PSA 075 001 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, to thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. 019 PSA 075 002 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. 019 PSA 075 003 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I bear up its pillars. (Selah) 019 PSA 075 004 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 019 PSA 075 005 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. 019 PSA 075 006 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 019 PSA 075 007 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 019 PSA 075 008 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but its dregs, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. 019 PSA 075 009 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 019 PSA 075 010 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. 019 PSA 076 001 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. 019 PSA 076 002 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. 019 PSA 076 003 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah) 019 PSA 076 004 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 019 PSA 076 005 The stout hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 019 PSA 076 006 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 019 PSA 076 007 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 019 PSA 076 008 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 019 PSA 076 009 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah) 019 PSA 076 010 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 019 PSA 076 011 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that are about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared. 019 PSA 076 012 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth. 019 PSA 077 001 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried to God with my voice, even to God with my voice; and he gave ear to me. 019 PSA 077 002 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. 019 PSA 077 003 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah) 019 PSA 077 004 Thou holdest my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 019 PSA 077 005 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 019 PSA 077 006 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 019 PSA 077 007 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 019 PSA 077 008 Is his mercy wholly gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 019 PSA 077 009 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah) 019 PSA 077 010 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 019 PSA 077 011 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 019 PSA 077 012 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 019 PSA 077 013 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? 019 PSA 077 014 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 019 PSA 077 015 Thou hast with thy arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah) 019 PSA 077 016 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 019 PSA 077 017 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thy arrows also went abroad. 019 PSA 077 018 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 019 PSA 077 019 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 019 PSA 077 020 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 019 PSA 078 001 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth. 019 PSA 078 002 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 019 PSA 078 003 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 019 PSA 078 004 We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 019 PSA 078 005 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 019 PSA 078 006 That the generation to come might know them, even the children who should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 019 PSA 078 007 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 019 PSA 078 008 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God. 019 PSA 078 009 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 019 PSA 078 010 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; 019 PSA 078 011 And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them. 019 PSA 078 012 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 019 PSA 078 013 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 019 PSA 078 014 In the day time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 019 PSA 078 015 He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 019 PSA 078 016 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 019 PSA 078 017 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 019 PSA 078 018 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 019 PSA 078 019 Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 019 PSA 078 020 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? 019 PSA 078 021 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was full of wrath: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 019 PSA 078 022 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 019 PSA 078 023 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 019 PSA 078 024 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the grain of heaven. 019 PSA 078 025 Man ate angels’ food: he sent them food to the full. 019 PSA 078 026 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 019 PSA 078 027 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 019 PSA 078 028 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations. 019 PSA 078 029 So they ate, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; 019 PSA 078 030 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 019 PSA 078 031 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 019 PSA 078 032 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 019 PSA 078 033 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. 019 PSA 078 034 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. 019 PSA 078 035 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 019 PSA 078 036 Nevertheless they would flatter him with their mouth, and they lied to him with their tongues. 019 PSA 078 037 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant. 019 PSA 078 038 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 019 PSA 078 039 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 019 PSA 078 040 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 019 PSA 078 041 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 019 PSA 078 042 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 019 PSA 078 043 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 019 PSA 078 044 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their streams, that they could not drink. 019 PSA 078 045 He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 019 PSA 078 046 He gave also their increase to the caterpiller, and their labour to the locust. 019 PSA 078 047 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. 019 PSA 078 048 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 019 PSA 078 049 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 019 PSA 078 050 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 019 PSA 078 051 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 019 PSA 078 052 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 019 PSA 078 053 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 019 PSA 078 054 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 019 PSA 078 055 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 019 PSA 078 056 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 019 PSA 078 057 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 019 PSA 078 058 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 019 PSA 078 059 When God heard this, he was filled with wrath, and greatly abhorred Israel: 019 PSA 078 060 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 019 PSA 078 061 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand. 019 PSA 078 062 He gave over his people also to the sword; and was filled with wrath with his inheritance. 019 PSA 078 063 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. 019 PSA 078 064 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 019 PSA 078 065 Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. 019 PSA 078 066 And he smote his enemies in the hinder part: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 019 PSA 078 067 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 019 PSA 078 068 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 019 PSA 078 069 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. 019 PSA 078 070 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheep folds: 019 PSA 078 071 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 019 PSA 078 072 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. 019 PSA 079 001 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 019 PSA 079 002 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints to the beasts of the earth. 019 PSA 079 003 Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 019 PSA 079 004 We have become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are around us. 019 PSA 079 005 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 019 PSA 079 006 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. 019 PSA 079 007 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. 019 PSA 079 008 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily come to help us: for we are brought very low. 019 PSA 079 009 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake. 019 PSA 079 010 Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by avenging the blood of thy servants which is shed. 019 PSA 079 011 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; 019 PSA 079 012 And render to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord. 019 PSA 079 013 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations. 019 PSA 080 001 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth. 019 PSA 080 002 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. 019 PSA 080 003 Restore us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 019 PSA 080 004 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 019 PSA 080 005 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 019 PSA 080 006 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. 019 PSA 080 007 Restore us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 019 PSA 080 008 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 019 PSA 080 009 Thou didst prepare room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. 019 PSA 080 010 The hills were covered with its shadow, and its boughs were like the goodly cedars. 019 PSA 080 011 She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river. 019 PSA 080 012 Why hast thou then broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her? 019 PSA 080 013 The boar from the forest doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. 019 PSA 080 014 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; 019 PSA 080 015 And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 019 PSA 080 016 It is burnt with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 019 PSA 080 017 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 019 PSA 080 018 So will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name. 019 PSA 080 019 Restore us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 019 PSA 081 001 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob. 019 PSA 081 002 Take a psalm, and strike the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 019 PSA 081 003 Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 019 PSA 081 004 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 019 PSA 081 005 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 019 PSA 081 006 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 019 PSA 081 007 Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah) 019 PSA 081 008 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me; 019 PSA 081 009 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 019 PSA 081 010 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 019 PSA 081 011 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me. 019 PSA 081 012 So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 019 PSA 081 013 O that my people had hearkened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 019 PSA 081 014 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 019 PSA 081 015 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: and their time should have endured for ever. 019 PSA 081 016 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee. 019 PSA 082 001 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 019 PSA 082 002 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah) 019 PSA 082 003 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 019 PSA 082 004 Deliver the poor and needy: deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 019 PSA 082 005 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 019 PSA 082 006 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 019 PSA 082 007 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 019 PSA 082 008 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. 019 PSA 083 001 A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 019 PSA 083 002 For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 019 PSA 083 003 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 019 PSA 083 004 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 019 PSA 083 005 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 019 PSA 083 006 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 019 PSA 083 007 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 019 PSA 083 008 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. (Selah) 019 PSA 083 009 Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 019 PSA 083 010 Who perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 019 PSA 083 011 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 019 PSA 083 012 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 019 PSA 083 013 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 019 PSA 083 014 As the fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 019 PSA 083 015 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 019 PSA 083 016 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 019 PSA 083 017 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 019 PSA 083 018 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. 019 PSA 084 001 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 019 PSA 084 002 My soul longeth, and, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 019 PSA 084 003 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 019 PSA 084 004 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah) 019 PSA 084 005 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 019 PSA 084 006 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 019 PSA 084 007 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 019 PSA 084 008 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah) 019 PSA 084 009 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thy anointed. 019 PSA 084 010 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 019 PSA 084 011 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 019 PSA 084 012 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. 019 PSA 085 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable to thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 019 PSA 085 002 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah) 019 PSA 085 003 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thy anger. 019 PSA 085 004 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy anger toward us to cease. 019 PSA 085 005 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thy anger to all generations? 019 PSA 085 006 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 019 PSA 085 007 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 019 PSA 085 008 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 019 PSA 085 009 Surely his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 019 PSA 085 010 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 019 PSA 085 011 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 019 PSA 085 012 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 019 PSA 085 013 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. 019 PSA 086 001 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 019 PSA 086 002 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 019 PSA 086 003 Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily. 019 PSA 086 004 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 019 PSA 086 005 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee. 019 PSA 086 006 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 019 PSA 086 007 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. 019 PSA 086 008 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like thy works. 019 PSA 086 009 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 019 PSA 086 010 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 019 PSA 086 011 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 019 PSA 086 012 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 019 PSA 086 013 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 086 014 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 019 PSA 086 015 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth. 019 PSA 086 016 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid. 019 PSA 086 017 Show me a sign for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me. 019 PSA 087 001 A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains. 019 PSA 087 002 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 019 PSA 087 003 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah) 019 PSA 087 004 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this man was born there. 019 PSA 087 005 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her. 019 PSA 087 006 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. (Selah) 019 PSA 087 007 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. 019 PSA 088 001 A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: 019 PSA 088 002 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry; 019 PSA 088 003 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth near to the grave. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 088 004 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: 019 PSA 088 005 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 019 PSA 088 006 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 019 PSA 088 007 Thy wrath lieth heavy upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. (Selah) 019 PSA 088 008 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 019 PSA 088 009 My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee. 019 PSA 088 010 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? (Selah) 019 PSA 088 011 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? 019 PSA 088 012 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 019 PSA 088 013 But to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee. 019 PSA 088 014 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 019 PSA 088 015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 019 PSA 088 016 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 019 PSA 088 017 They came around me daily like water; they surrounded me together. 019 PSA 088 018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and my acquaintance into darkness. 019 PSA 089 001 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 019 PSA 089 002 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 019 PSA 089 003 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn to David my servant, 019 PSA 089 004 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah) 019 PSA 089 005 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 019 PSA 089 006 For who in the heaven can be compared to the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD? 019 PSA 089 007 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence by all them that are about him. 019 PSA 089 008 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like thee? or to thy faithfulness around thee? 019 PSA 089 009 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them. 019 PSA 089 010 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thy enemies with thy strong arm. 019 PSA 089 011 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and all it containeth, thou hast founded them. 019 PSA 089 012 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 019 PSA 089 013 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 019 PSA 089 014 Righteousness and justice are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 019 PSA 089 015 Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 019 PSA 089 016 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 019 PSA 089 017 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 019 PSA 089 018 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 019 PSA 089 019 Then thou didst speak in vision to thy holy one, and didst say, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 019 PSA 089 020 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 019 PSA 089 021 With whom my hand shall be established: my arm also shall strengthen him. 019 PSA 089 022 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 019 PSA 089 023 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and afflict them that hate him. 019 PSA 089 024 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 019 PSA 089 025 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 019 PSA 089 026 He shall cry to me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 019 PSA 089 027 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 019 PSA 089 028 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 019 PSA 089 029 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 019 PSA 089 030 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 019 PSA 089 031 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 019 PSA 089 032 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 019 PSA 089 033 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail. 019 PSA 089 034 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that hath gone out of my lips. 019 PSA 089 035 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie to David. 019 PSA 089 036 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 019 PSA 089 037 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. (Selah) 019 PSA 089 038 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been full of wrath with thy anointed. 019 PSA 089 039 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 019 PSA 089 040 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 019 PSA 089 041 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 019 PSA 089 042 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 019 PSA 089 043 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 019 PSA 089 044 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 019 PSA 089 045 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah) 019 PSA 089 046 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 019 PSA 089 047 Remember how short my time is: why hast thou made all men in vain? 019 PSA 089 048 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 089 049 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou didst swear to David in thy truth? 019 PSA 089 050 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 019 PSA 089 051 With which thy enemies have reproached, O LORD; with which they have reproached the footsteps of thy anointed. 019 PSA 089 052 Blessed be the LORD for evermore.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 019 PSA 090 002 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 019 PSA 090 003 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 019 PSA 090 004 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 019 PSA 090 005 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth. 019 PSA 090 006 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 019 PSA 090 007 For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 019 PSA 090 008 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 019 PSA 090 009 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 019 PSA 090 010 The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 019 PSA 090 011 Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 019 PSA 090 012 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. 019 PSA 090 013 Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou concerning thy servants. 019 PSA 090 014 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 019 PSA 090 015 Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil. 019 PSA 090 016 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children. 019 PSA 090 017 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. 019 PSA 091 001 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 019 PSA 091 002 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 019 PSA 091 003 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the perilous pestilence. 019 PSA 091 004 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 019 PSA 091 005 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 019 PSA 091 006 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 019 PSA 091 007 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come near thee. 019 PSA 091 008 Only with thy eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 019 PSA 091 009 Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 019 PSA 091 010 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come near thy dwelling. 019 PSA 091 011 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 019 PSA 091 012 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 019 PSA 091 013 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 019 PSA 091 014 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 019 PSA 091 015 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 019 PSA 091 016 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. 019 PSA 092 001 A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to thy name, O most High: 019 PSA 092 002 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 019 PSA 092 003 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 019 PSA 092 004 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 019 PSA 092 005 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 019 PSA 092 006 A stupid man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 019 PSA 092 007 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 019 PSA 092 008 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 019 PSA 092 009 For, lo, thy enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 019 PSA 092 010 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 019 PSA 092 011 My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 019 PSA 092 012 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 019 PSA 092 013 Those that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 019 PSA 092 014 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 019 PSA 092 015 To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 019 PSA 093 001 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he hath girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved. 019 PSA 093 002 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. 019 PSA 093 003 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift their waves. 019 PSA 093 004 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. 019 PSA 093 005 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O LORD, for ever. 019 PSA 094 001 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself. 019 PSA 094 002 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 019 PSA 094 003 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 019 PSA 094 004 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 019 PSA 094 005 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage. 019 PSA 094 006 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 019 PSA 094 007 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 019 PSA 094 008 Understand, ye stupid among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 019 PSA 094 009 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 019 PSA 094 010 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know? 019 PSA 094 011 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 019 PSA 094 012 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 019 PSA 094 013 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. 019 PSA 094 014 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 019 PSA 094 015 But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 019 PSA 094 016 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 019 PSA 094 017 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 019 PSA 094 018 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 019 PSA 094 019 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 019 PSA 094 020 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 019 PSA 094 021 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 019 PSA 094 022 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 019 PSA 094 023 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. 019 PSA 095 001 O come, let us sing to the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 019 PSA 095 002 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms. 019 PSA 095 003 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 019 PSA 095 004 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 019 PSA 095 005 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 019 PSA 095 006 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 019 PSA 095 007 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 019 PSA 095 008 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 019 PSA 095 009 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 019 PSA 095 010 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 019 PSA 095 011 To whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. 019 PSA 096 001 O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth. 019 PSA 096 002 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day. 019 PSA 096 003 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 019 PSA 096 004 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 019 PSA 096 005 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 019 PSA 096 006 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 019 PSA 096 007 Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength. 019 PSA 096 008 Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 019 PSA 096 009 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 019 PSA 096 010 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 019 PSA 096 011 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all it containeth. 019 PSA 096 012 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the forest rejoice 019 PSA 096 013 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth. 019 PSA 097 001 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad. 019 PSA 097 002 Clouds and darkness surroundeth him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 019 PSA 097 003 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies on every side. 019 PSA 097 004 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 019 PSA 097 005 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 019 PSA 097 006 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 019 PSA 097 007 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 019 PSA 097 008 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 019 PSA 097 009 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 019 PSA 097 010 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 019 PSA 097 011 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 019 PSA 097 012 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 019 PSA 098 001 A Psalm. O sing to the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 019 PSA 098 002 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shown in the sight of the heathen. 019 PSA 098 003 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 019 PSA 098 004 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 019 PSA 098 005 Sing to the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 019 PSA 098 006 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 019 PSA 098 007 Let the sea roar, and all it containeth; the world, and they that dwell in it. 019 PSA 098 008 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 019 PSA 098 009 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. 019 PSA 099 001 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth between the cherubim; let the earth be moved. 019 PSA 099 002 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all people. 019 PSA 099 003 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 019 PSA 099 004 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 019 PSA 099 005 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. 019 PSA 099 006 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 019 PSA 099 007 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. 019 PSA 099 008 Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance on their evil deeds. 019 PSA 099 009 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. 019 PSA 100 001 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all ye lands. 019 PSA 100 002 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 019 PSA 100 003 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 019 PSA 100 004 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, and bless his name. 019 PSA 100 005 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. 019 PSA 101 001 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, O LORD, will I sing. 019 PSA 101 002 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 019 PSA 101 003 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 019 PSA 101 004 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 019 PSA 101 005 Whoever secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart I will not endure. 019 PSA 101 006 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 019 PSA 101 007 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 019 PSA 101 008 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practise wickedness from the city of the LORD. 019 PSA 102 001 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come to thee. 019 PSA 102 002 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thy ear to me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. 019 PSA 102 003 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. 019 PSA 102 004 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. 019 PSA 102 005 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. 019 PSA 102 006 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. 019 PSA 102 007 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop. 019 PSA 102 008 My enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. 019 PSA 102 009 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, 019 PSA 102 010 Because of thy indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 019 PSA 102 011 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. 019 PSA 102 012 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance to all generations. 019 PSA 102 013 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. 019 PSA 102 014 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust. 019 PSA 102 015 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 019 PSA 102 016 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. 019 PSA 102 017 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. 019 PSA 102 018 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. 019 PSA 102 019 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven hath the LORD beheld the earth; 019 PSA 102 020 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; 019 PSA 102 021 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 019 PSA 102 022 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. 019 PSA 102 023 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. 019 PSA 102 024 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. 019 PSA 102 025 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 019 PSA 102 026 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 019 PSA 102 027 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. 019 PSA 102 028 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. 019 PSA 103 001 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 019 PSA 103 002 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 019 PSA 103 003 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 019 PSA 103 004 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 019 PSA 103 005 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 019 PSA 103 006 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 019 PSA 103 007 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel. 019 PSA 103 008 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy. 019 PSA 103 009 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 019 PSA 103 010 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 019 PSA 103 011 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 019 PSA 103 012 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 019 PSA 103 013 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 019 PSA 103 014 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 019 PSA 103 015 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 019 PSA 103 016 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more. 019 PSA 103 017 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children; 019 PSA 103 018 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 019 PSA 103 019 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 019 PSA 103 020 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word. 019 PSA 103 021 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 019 PSA 103 022 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. 019 PSA 104 001 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 019 PSA 104 002 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 019 PSA 104 003 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 019 PSA 104 004 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 019 PSA 104 005 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 019 PSA 104 006 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 019 PSA 104 007 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 019 PSA 104 008 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which thou hast founded for them. 019 PSA 104 009 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. 019 PSA 104 010 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 019 PSA 104 011 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild donkeys quench their thirst. 019 PSA 104 012 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 019 PSA 104 013 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 019 PSA 104 014 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 019 PSA 104 015 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. 019 PSA 104 016 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 019 PSA 104 017 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 019 PSA 104 018 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 019 PSA 104 019 He appointeth the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 019 PSA 104 020 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 019 PSA 104 021 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. 019 PSA 104 022 The sun ariseth, they withdraw, and lay themselves down in their dens. 019 PSA 104 023 Man goeth forth to his work and to his labour until the evening. 019 PSA 104 024 O LORD, how many are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 019 PSA 104 025 So is this great and wide sea, in which are creeping things innumerable, both small and great beasts. 019 PSA 104 026 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, which thou hast made to play in it. 019 PSA 104 027 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their food in due season. 019 PSA 104 028 That which thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good. 019 PSA 104 029 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 019 PSA 104 030 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 019 PSA 104 031 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 019 PSA 104 032 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 019 PSA 104 033 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. 019 PSA 104 034 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. 019 PSA 104 035 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 105 001 O give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 019 PSA 105 002 Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. 019 PSA 105 003 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 019 PSA 105 004 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 019 PSA 105 005 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 019 PSA 105 006 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 019 PSA 105 007 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 019 PSA 105 008 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 019 PSA 105 009 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac; 019 PSA 105 010 And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 019 PSA 105 011 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 019 PSA 105 012 When they were a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 019 PSA 105 013 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; 019 PSA 105 014 He permitted no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 019 PSA 105 015 Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 019 PSA 105 016 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke the whole staff of bread. 019 PSA 105 017 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 019 PSA 105 018 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 019 PSA 105 019 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 019 PSA 105 020 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 019 PSA 105 021 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 019 PSA 105 022 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his elders wisdom. 019 PSA 105 023 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 019 PSA 105 024 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. 019 PSA 105 025 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 019 PSA 105 026 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. 019 PSA 105 027 They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 019 PSA 105 028 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 019 PSA 105 029 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 019 PSA 105 030 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. 019 PSA 105 031 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and lice in all their land. 019 PSA 105 032 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. 019 PSA 105 033 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and broke the trees of their land. 019 PSA 105 034 He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, 019 PSA 105 035 And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. 019 PSA 105 036 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 019 PSA 105 037 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. 019 PSA 105 038 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. 019 PSA 105 039 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. 019 PSA 105 040 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 019 PSA 105 041 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. 019 PSA 105 042 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 019 PSA 105 043 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 019 PSA 105 044 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; 019 PSA 105 045 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 106 001 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 019 PSA 106 002 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can show forth all his praise? 019 PSA 106 003 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. 019 PSA 106 004 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest to thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; 019 PSA 106 005 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thy inheritance. 019 PSA 106 006 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 019 PSA 106 007 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. 019 PSA 106 008 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. 019 PSA 106 009 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. 019 PSA 106 010 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 019 PSA 106 011 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. 019 PSA 106 012 Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. 019 PSA 106 013 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: 019 PSA 106 014 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 019 PSA 106 015 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. 019 PSA 106 016 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. 019 PSA 106 017 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. 019 PSA 106 018 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. 019 PSA 106 019 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. 019 PSA 106 020 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 019 PSA 106 021 They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt; 019 PSA 106 022 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 019 PSA 106 023 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. 019 PSA 106 024 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: 019 PSA 106 025 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not to the voice of the LORD. 019 PSA 106 026 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: 019 PSA 106 027 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 019 PSA 106 028 They joined themselves also to Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 019 PSA 106 029 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and the plague broke in upon them. 019 PSA 106 030 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stopped. 019 PSA 106 031 And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for evermore. 019 PSA 106 032 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 019 PSA 106 033 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips. 019 PSA 106 034 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 019 PSA 106 035 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 019 PSA 106 036 And they served their idols: which were a snare to them. 019 PSA 106 037 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, 019 PSA 106 038 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. 019 PSA 106 039 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went astray with their own deeds. 019 PSA 106 040 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 019 PSA 106 041 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. 019 PSA 106 042 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 019 PSA 106 043 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. 019 PSA 106 044 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: 019 PSA 106 045 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 019 PSA 106 046 He made them also to be pitied by all those that carried them captives. 019 PSA 106 047 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks to thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. 019 PSA 106 048 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 107 001 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 019 PSA 107 002 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 019 PSA 107 003 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 019 PSA 107 004 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 019 PSA 107 005 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 019 PSA 107 006 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 019 PSA 107 007 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 019 PSA 107 008 O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 019 PSA 107 009 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 019 PSA 107 010 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 019 PSA 107 011 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the most High: 019 PSA 107 012 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 019 PSA 107 013 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 019 PSA 107 014 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands asunder. 019 PSA 107 015 O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 019 PSA 107 016 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder. 019 PSA 107 017 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 019 PSA 107 018 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death. 019 PSA 107 019 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses. 019 PSA 107 020 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 019 PSA 107 021 O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 019 PSA 107 022 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. 019 PSA 107 023 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters; 019 PSA 107 024 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 019 PSA 107 025 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves. 019 PSA 107 026 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 019 PSA 107 027 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. 019 PSA 107 028 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 019 PSA 107 029 He maketh the storm a calm, so that its waves are still. 019 PSA 107 030 Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven. 019 PSA 107 031 O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 019 PSA 107 032 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 019 PSA 107 033 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; 019 PSA 107 034 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it. 019 PSA 107 035 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 019 PSA 107 036 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 019 PSA 107 037 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. 019 PSA 107 038 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and doest not let their cattle to decrease. 019 PSA 107 039 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 019 PSA 107 040 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 019 PSA 107 041 Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. 019 PSA 107 042 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 019 PSA 107 043 Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. 019 PSA 108 001 A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 019 PSA 108 002 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 019 PSA 108 003 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to thee among the nations. 019 PSA 108 004 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth to the clouds. 019 PSA 108 005 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; 019 PSA 108 006 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 019 PSA 108 007 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. 019 PSA 108 008 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver; 019 PSA 108 009 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 019 PSA 108 010 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 019 PSA 108 011 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies? 019 PSA 108 012 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 019 PSA 108 013 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies. 019 PSA 109 001 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; 019 PSA 109 002 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 019 PSA 109 003 They surrounded me also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. 019 PSA 109 004 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself to prayer. 019 PSA 109 005 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 019 PSA 109 006 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. 019 PSA 109 007 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. 019 PSA 109 008 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. 019 PSA 109 009 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 019 PSA 109 010 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. 019 PSA 109 011 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers spoil his labour. 019 PSA 109 012 Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. 019 PSA 109 013 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 019 PSA 109 014 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 019 PSA 109 015 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 019 PSA 109 016 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 019 PSA 109 017 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 019 PSA 109 018 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. 019 PSA 109 019 Let it be to him as the garment which covereth him, and for a belt with which he is girded continually. 019 PSA 109 020 Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 019 PSA 109 021 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 019 PSA 109 022 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 019 PSA 109 023 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. 019 PSA 109 024 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 019 PSA 109 025 I became also a reproach to them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads. 019 PSA 109 026 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 019 PSA 109 027 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. 019 PSA 109 028 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. 019 PSA 109 029 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 019 PSA 109 030 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 019 PSA 109 031 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. 019 PSA 110 001 A Psalm of David.

Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 114 001 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language; 019 PSA 114 002 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 019 PSA 114 003 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 019 PSA 114 004 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 019 PSA 114 005 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? 019 PSA 114 006 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? 019 PSA 114 007 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 019 PSA 114 008 Who turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. 019 PSA 115 001 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. 019 PSA 115 002 Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 019 PSA 115 003 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased. 019 PSA 115 004 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. 019 PSA 115 005 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 019 PSA 115 006 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 019 PSA 115 007 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 019 PSA 115 008 They that make them are like them; so is every one that trusteth in them. 019 PSA 115 009 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 019 PSA 115 010 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 019 PSA 115 011 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 019 PSA 115 012 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 019 PSA 115 013 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 019 PSA 115 014 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 019 PSA 115 015 Ye are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth. 019 PSA 115 016 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 019 PSA 115 017 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. 019 PSA 115 018 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. 019 PSA 116 001 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 019 PSA 116 002 Because he hath inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 019 PSA 116 003 The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the pains of hell came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

I will not fear: what can man do to me? 019 PSA 118 007 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 019 PSA 118 008 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 019 PSA 118 009 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 019 PSA 118 010 All nations surrounded me: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 019 PSA 118 011 They surrounded me; yea, they surrounded me: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 019 PSA 118 012 They surrounded me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 019 PSA 118 013 Thou hast violently thrust at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 019 PSA 118 014 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. 019 PSA 118 015 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 019 PSA 118 016 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 019 PSA 118 017 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 019 PSA 118 018 The LORD hath chastened me greatly: but he hath not given me over to death. 019 PSA 118 019 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter them, and I will praise the LORD: 019 PSA 118 020 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 019 PSA 118 021 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. 019 PSA 118 022 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 019 PSA 118 023 This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 019 PSA 118 024 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 019 PSA 118 025 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 019 PSA 118 026 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 019 PSA 118 027 God is the LORD, who hath shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. 019 PSA 118 028 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 019 PSA 118 029 O give thanks to the LORD;

and have comforted myself. 019 PSA 119 053 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 019 PSA 119 054 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 019 PSA 119 055 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 019 PSA 119 056 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 057 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. 019 PSA 119 058 I entreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word. 019 PSA 119 059 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 060 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 019 PSA 119 061 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. 019 PSA 119 062 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee because of thy righteous judgments. 019 PSA 119 063 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 064 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 065 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word. 019 PSA 119 066 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 019 PSA 119 067 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 019 PSA 119 068 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 069 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 019 PSA 119 070 Their heart is covered with fat; but I delight in thy law. 019 PSA 119 071 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 072 The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. 019 PSA 119 073 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 019 PSA 119 074 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. 019 PSA 119 075 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. 019 PSA 119 076 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant. 019 PSA 119 077 Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. 019 PSA 119 078 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 079 Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 080 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed. 019 PSA 119 081 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. 019 PSA 119 082 My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? 019 PSA 119 083 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 084 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 019 PSA 119 085 The proud have dug pits for me, which are not according to thy law. 019 PSA 119 086 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 019 PSA 119 087 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 088 Revive me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 019 PSA 119 089 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 019 PSA 119 090 Thy faithfulness is to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 019 PSA 119 091 They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all are thy servants. 019 PSA 119 092 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction. 019 PSA 119 093 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me. 019 PSA 119 094 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 095 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 096 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 019 PSA 119 097 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 019 PSA 119 098 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me. 019 PSA 119 099 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my (meditation) 019 PSA 119 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 019 PSA 119 102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 019 PSA 119 103 How sweet are thy words to my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 019 PSA 119 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 019 PSA 119 105 Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. 019 PSA 119 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 019 PSA 119 107 I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word. 019 PSA 119 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 019 PSA 119 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law. 019 PSA 119 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 019 PSA 119 112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, even to the end. 019 PSA 119 113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 019 PSA 119 114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 019 PSA 119 115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 019 PSA 119 116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 019 PSA 119 117 Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect to thy statutes continually. 019 PSA 119 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 019 PSA 119 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 019 PSA 119 121 I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to my oppressors. 019 PSA 119 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 019 PSA 119 123 My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 019 PSA 119 124 Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. 019 PSA 119 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 019 PSA 119 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 019 PSA 119 129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 019 PSA 119 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple. 019 PSA 119 131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 019 PSA 119 132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou didst use to do to those that love thy name. 019 PSA 119 133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 019 PSA 119 134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 136 Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law. 019 PSA 119 137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. 019 PSA 119 138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. 019 PSA 119 139 My zeal hath consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten thy words. 019 PSA 119 140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 019 PSA 119 141 I am small and despised: yet I do not forget thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 019 PSA 119 143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. 019 PSA 119 144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 019 PSA 119 145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 146 I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 147 I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 019 PSA 119 148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 019 PSA 119 149 Hear my voice according to thy lovingkindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment. 019 PSA 119 150 They draw near that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 019 PSA 119 151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. 019 PSA 119 152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 019 PSA 119 153 Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 019 PSA 119 154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word. 019 PSA 119 155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. 019 PSA 119 156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to thy judgments. 019 PSA 119 157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet I do not decline from thy testimonies. 019 PSA 119 158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 019 PSA 119 159 Consider how I love thy precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. 019 PSA 119 160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 019 PSA 119 161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 019 PSA 119 162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 019 PSA 119 163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. 019 PSA 119 164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 019 PSA 119 165 Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble. 019 PSA 119 166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments. 019 PSA 119 167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies;

for I have chosen thy precepts. 019 PSA 119 174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 019 PSA 119 175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 019 PSA 119 176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. 019 PSA 120 001 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me. 019 PSA 120 002 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 019 PSA 120 003 What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue? 019 PSA 120 004 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 019 PSA 120 005 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 019 PSA 120 006 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 019 PSA 120 007 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. 019 PSA 121 001 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from which cometh my help. 019 PSA 121 002 My help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 019 PSA 121 003 He will not allow thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 019 PSA 121 004 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 019 PSA 121 005 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 019 PSA 121 006 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 019 PSA 121 007 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 019 PSA 121 008 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 019 PSA 122 001 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 019 PSA 122 002 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 019 PSA 122 003 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together: 019 PSA 122 004 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 019 PSA 122 005 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 019 PSA 122 006 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 019 PSA 122 007 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. 019 PSA 122 008 For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee. 019 PSA 122 009 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. 019 PSA 123 001 A Song of degrees. To thee I lift up my eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 019 PSA 123 002 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he shall have mercy upon us. 019 PSA 123 003 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 019 PSA 123 004 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. 019 PSA 124 001 A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 019 PSA 124 002 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 019 PSA 124 003 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: 019 PSA 124 004 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 019 PSA 124 005 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 019 PSA 124 006 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 019 PSA 124 007 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped. 019 PSA 124 008 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 019 PSA 125 001 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 019 PSA 125 002 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surroundeth his people from henceforth even for ever. 019 PSA 125 003 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity. 019 PSA 125 004 Do good, O LORD, to those that are good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. 019 PSA 125 005 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel. 019 PSA 126 001 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 019 PSA 126 002 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 019 PSA 126 003 The LORD hath done great things for us; for which we are glad. 019 PSA 126 004 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 019 PSA 126 005 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 019 PSA 126 006 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. 019 PSA 127 001 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain. 019 PSA 127 002 It is vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 019 PSA 127 003 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 019 PSA 127 004 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 019 PSA 127 005 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. 019 PSA 128 001 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. 019 PSA 128 002 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 019 PSA 128 003 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table. 019 PSA 128 004 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. 019 PSA 128 005 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 019 PSA 128 006 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel. 019 PSA 129 001 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 019 PSA 129 002 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 019 PSA 129 003 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 019 PSA 129 004 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 019 PSA 129 005 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. 019 PSA 129 006 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth before it groweth up: 019 PSA 129 007 With which the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 019 PSA 129 008 Neither do they who go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. 019 PSA 130 001 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD. 019 PSA 130 002 Lord, hear my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 019 PSA 130 003 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 019 PSA 130 004 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 019 PSA 130 005 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 019 PSA 130 006 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 019 PSA 130 007 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 019 PSA 130 008 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. 019 PSA 131 001 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 019 PSA 131 002 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned by his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 019 PSA 131 003 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. 019 PSA 132 001 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: 019 PSA 132 002 How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God of Jacob; 019 PSA 132 003 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 019 PSA 132 004 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids, 019 PSA 132 005 Until I find a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. 019 PSA 132 006 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 019 PSA 132 007 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 019 PSA 132 008 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 019 PSA 132 009 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 019 PSA 132 010 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thy anointed. 019 PSA 132 011 The LORD hath sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 019 PSA 132 012 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. 019 PSA 132 013 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 019 PSA 132 014 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 019 PSA 132 015 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 019 PSA 132 016 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 019 PSA 132 017 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. 019 PSA 132 018 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish. 019 PSA 133 001 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 019 PSA 133 002 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garment; 019 PSA 133 003 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. 019 PSA 134 001 A Song of degrees.

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 019 PSA 140 002 Who imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 019 PSA 140 003 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips.

LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee. 019 PSA 141 002 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 019 PSA 141 003 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 019 PSA 141 004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 019 PSA 141 005 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 019 PSA 141 006 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 019 PSA 141 007 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me. 019 PSA 142 004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 019 PSA 142 005 I cried to thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 019 PSA 142 006 Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 019 PSA 142 007 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall surround me; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. 019 PSA 143 001 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 019 PSA 143 002 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 019 PSA 143 003 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 019 PSA 143 004 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 019 PSA 143 005 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 019 PSA 143 006 I stretch forth my hands to thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah) 019 PSA 143 007 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like them that go down into the pit. 019 PSA 143 008 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul to thee. 019 PSA 143 009 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to thee to hide me. 019 PSA 143 010 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 019 PSA 143 011 Revive me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. 019 PSA 143 012 And of thy mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. 019 PSA 144 001 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, who teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 019 PSA 144 002 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 019 PSA 144 003 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 019 PSA 144 004 Man is like vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 019 PSA 144 005 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 019 PSA 144 006 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot thy arrows, and destroy them. 019 PSA 144 007 Send thy hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of foreigners; 019 PSA 144 008 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 019 PSA 144 009 I will sing a new song to thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises to thee. 019 PSA 144 010 It is he that giveth salvation to kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 019 PSA 144 011 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 019 PSA 144 012 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 019 PSA 144 013 That our barns may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 019 PSA 144 014 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 019 PSA 144 015 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. 019 PSA 145 001 David’s Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 019 PSA 145 002 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 019 PSA 145 003 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 019 PSA 145 004 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 019 PSA 145 005 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 019 PSA 145 006 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 019 PSA 145 007 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 019 PSA 145 008 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 019 PSA 145 009 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. 019 PSA 145 010 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. 019 PSA 145 011 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; 019 PSA 145 012 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 019 PSA 145 013 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 019 PSA 145 014 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that are bowed down. 019 PSA 145 015 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in due season. 019 PSA 145 016 Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living creature. 019 PSA 145 017 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 019 PSA 145 018 The LORD is near to all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 019 PSA 145 019 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 019 PSA 145 020 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. 019 PSA 145 021 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. 019 PSA 146 001 Praise ye the LORD.

021 ECC 001 004 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. 021 ECC 001 005 The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. 021 ECC 001 006 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about to the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to its circuits. 021 ECC 001 007 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from which the rivers come, there they return again. 021 ECC 001 008 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 021 ECC 001 009 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 021 ECC 001 010 Is there any thing of which it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. 021 ECC 001 011 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. 021 ECC 001 012 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 021 ECC 001 013 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this grievous labour hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised with it. 021 ECC 001 014 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 001 015 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is lacking cannot be numbered. 021 ECC 001 016 I spoke to my own heart, saying, Lo, I have come to great estate, and have gained more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: and my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 021 ECC 001 017 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 001 018 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. 021 ECC 002 001 I said in my heart, Come now, I will test thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. 021 ECC 002 002 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? 021 ECC 002 003 I sought in my heart to give myself to wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. 021 ECC 002 004 I made for myself great works; I built houses; I planted vineyards: 021 ECC 002 005 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: 021 ECC 002 006 I made me pools of water, to water with them the wood that bringeth forth trees: 021 ECC 002 007 I procured me male and female servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks above all that were in Jerusalem before me: 021 ECC 002 008 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the special treasure of kings and of the provinces: I procured me male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and of all sorts. 021 ECC 002 009 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. 021 ECC 002 010 And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. 021 ECC 002 011 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. 021 ECC 002 012 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done. 021 ECC 002 013 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. 021 ECC 002 014 The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. 021 ECC 002 015 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. 021 ECC 002 016 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool. 021 ECC 002 017 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous to me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 002 018 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it to the man that shall be after me. 021 ECC 002 019 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour in which I have laboured, and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. 021 ECC 002 020 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 021 ECC 002 021 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured in it shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. 021 ECC 002 022 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, in which he hath laboured under the sun? 021 ECC 002 023 For all his days are sorrows, and his labour grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity. 021 ECC 002 024 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. 021 ECC 002 025 For who can eat, or who else can hasten to it, more than I? 021 ECC 002 026 For God giveth to a man who is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth toil, to gather and to store up wealth, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 003 001 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 021 ECC 003 002 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 021 ECC 003 003 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 021 ECC 003 004 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 021 ECC 003 005 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 021 ECC 003 006 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 021 ECC 003 007 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 021 ECC 003 008 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 021 ECC 003 009 What profit hath he that worketh in that in which he laboureth? 021 ECC 003 010 I have seen the labour, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 021 ECC 003 011 He hath made every thing beautiful in its time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 021 ECC 003 012 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 021 ECC 003 013 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 021 ECC 003 014 I know that, whatever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 021 ECC 003 015 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 021 ECC 003 016 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 021 ECC 003 017 I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 021 ECC 003 018 I said in my heart concerning the state of the sons of men, that God might surely test them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 021 ECC 003 019 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 021 ECC 003 020 All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 021 ECC 003 021 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 021 ECC 003 022 Therefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? 021 ECC 004 001 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. 021 ECC 004 002 Therefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive. 021 ECC 004 003 Yea, better is he than both they, who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. 021 ECC 004 004 Again, I considered all labour, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 004 005 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. 021 ECC 004 006 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with toil and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 004 007 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. 021 ECC 004 008 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a grievous labour. 021 ECC 004 009 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 021 ECC 004 010 For if they fall, the one will lift up his companion: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him to rise. 021 ECC 004 011 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 021 ECC 004 012 And if one prevaileth against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 021 ECC 004 013 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no longer be admonished. 021 ECC 004 014 For out of prison he cometh to reign; though also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. 021 ECC 004 015 I considered all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead. 021 ECC 004 016 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 005 001 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 021 ECC 005 002 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. 021 ECC 005 003 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by a multitude of words. 021 ECC 005 004 When thou vowest a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 021 ECC 005 005 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 021 ECC 005 006 Permit not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: why should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? 021 ECC 005 007 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also many vanities: but fear thou God. 021 ECC 005 008 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, wonder not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there are higher than they. 021 ECC 005 009 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. 021 ECC 005 010 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 021 ECC 005 011 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners of them, except the beholding of them with their eyes? 021 ECC 005 012 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eateth little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep. 021 ECC 005 013 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners of them to their hurt. 021 ECC 005 014 But those riches perish by evil labour: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 021 ECC 005 015 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. 021 ECC 005 016 And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? 021 ECC 005 017 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. 021 ECC 005 018 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and proper for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. 021 ECC 005 019 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. 021 ECC 005 020 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. 021 ECC 006 001 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 021 ECC 006 002 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 021 ECC 006 003 If a man begetteth an hundred children, and liveth many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also that he hath no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he. 021 ECC 006 004 For he cometh with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. 021 ECC 006 005 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other. 021 ECC 006 006 Yea, though he liveth a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? 021 ECC 006 007 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 021 ECC 006 008 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? 021 ECC 006 009 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 021 ECC 006 010 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he. 021 ECC 006 011 Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? 021 ECC 006 012 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? 021 ECC 007 001 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. 021 ECC 007 002 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 021 ECC 007 003 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. 021 ECC 007 004 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. 021 ECC 007 005 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. 021 ECC 007 006 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. 021 ECC 007 007 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 021 ECC 007 008 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 021 ECC 007 009 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 021 ECC 007 010 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. 021 ECC 007 011 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 021 ECC 007 012 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 021 ECC 007 013 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 021 ECC 007 014 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath appointed the one as well as the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 021 ECC 007 015 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 021 ECC 007 016 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? 021 ECC 007 017 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? 021 ECC 007 018 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall escape from them all. 021 ECC 007 019 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men who are in the city. 021 ECC 007 020 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 021 ECC 007 021 Also take no heed to all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: 021 ECC 007 022 For often also thy own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 021 ECC 007 023 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 021 ECC 007 024 That which is far off, and exceedingly deep, who can find it out? 021 ECC 007 025 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: 021 ECC 007 026 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoever pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 021 ECC 007 027 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: 021 ECC 007 028 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. 021 ECC 007 029 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many devices. 021 ECC 008 001 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. 021 ECC 008 002 I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. 021 ECC 008 003 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatever pleaseth him. 021 ECC 008 004 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say to him, What doest thou? 021 ECC 008 005 He who keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment. 021 ECC 008 006 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 021 ECC 008 007 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? 021 ECC 008 008 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 021 ECC 008 009 All this have I seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: there is a time in which one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. 021 ECC 008 010 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity. 021 ECC 008 011 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 021 ECC 008 012 Though a sinner doeth evil an hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, who fear before him: 021 ECC 008 013 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. 021 ECC 008 014 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are just men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. 021 ECC 008 015 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. 021 ECC 008 016 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes: ) 021 ECC 008 017 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man may labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man thinketh to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. 021 ECC 009 001 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. 021 ECC 009 002 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. 021 ECC 009 003 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 021 ECC 009 004 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 021 ECC 009 005 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 021 ECC 009 006 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, hath now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 021 ECC 009 007 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 021 ECC 009 008 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 021 ECC 009 009 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 021 ECC 009 010 Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where thou goest. (Sheol h7585) 021 ECC 009 011 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 021 ECC 009 012 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. 021 ECC 009 013 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed to me great: 021 ECC 009 014 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: 021 ECC 009 015 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. 021 ECC 009 016 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 021 ECC 009 017 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. 021 ECC 009 018 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. 021 ECC 010 001 Dead flies cause the ointment of the perfumer to send forth a stinking odour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. 021 ECC 010 002 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart is at his left. 021 ECC 010 003 Also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. 021 ECC 010 004 If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. 021 ECC 010 005 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: 021 ECC 010 006 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. 021 ECC 010 007 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. 021 ECC 010 008 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 021 ECC 010 009 Whoever removeth stones shall be hurt by them; and he that cutteth wood shall be endangered by it. 021 ECC 010 010 If the iron is blunt, and he doth not whet the edge, then must he use more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. 021 ECC 010 011 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. 021 ECC 010 012 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 021 ECC 010 013 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 021 ECC 010 014 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? 021 ECC 010 015 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. 021 ECC 010 016 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 021 ECC 010 017 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! 021 ECC 010 018 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. 021 ECC 010 019 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. 021 ECC 010 020 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. 021 ECC 011 001 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 021 ECC 011 002 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 021 ECC 011 003 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree falleth toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 021 ECC 011 004 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 021 ECC 011 005 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 021 ECC 011 006 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand: for thou knowest not which shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. 021 ECC 011 007 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: 021 ECC 011 008 But if a man shall live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. 021 ECC 011 009 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 021 ECC 011 010 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. 021 ECC 012 001 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 021 ECC 012 002 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 021 ECC 012 003 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened, 021 ECC 012 004 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding shall be low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; 021 ECC 012 005 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 021 ECC 012 006 Or ever the silver cord shall be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 021 ECC 012 007 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it. 021 ECC 012 008 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. 021 ECC 012 009 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 021 ECC 012 010 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. 021 ECC 012 011 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 021 ECC 012 012 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 021 ECC 012 013 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 021 ECC 012 014 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil. # # BOOK 022 SOL Song of Solomon Song of Solomon 022 SOL 001 001 The song of songs, which is Solomon’s. 022 SOL 001 002 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. 022 SOL 001 003 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. 022 SOL 001 004 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. 022 SOL 001 005 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 022 SOL 001 006 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept. 022 SOL 001 007 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? 022 SOL 001 008 If thou knowest not, O thou fairest among women, go forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents. 022 SOL 001 009 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots. 022 SOL 001 010 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. 022 SOL 001 011 We will make for thee borders of gold with studs of silver. 022 SOL 001 012 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance. 022 SOL 001 013 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved to me; he shall lie all night between my breasts. 022 SOL 001 014 My beloved is to me as a cluster of henna flowers in the vineyards of Engedi. 022 SOL 001 015 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes. 022 SOL 001 016 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. 022 SOL 001 017 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. 022 SOL 002 001 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. 022 SOL 002 002 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 022 SOL 002 003 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 022 SOL 002 004 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 022 SOL 002 005 Sustain me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick with love. 022 SOL 002 006 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 022 SOL 002 007 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not, nor awake my love, till he please. 022 SOL 002 008 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 022 SOL 002 009 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, gazing himself through the lattice. 022 SOL 002 010 My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise, my love, my fair one, and come away. 022 SOL 002 011 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; 022 SOL 002 012 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land; 022 SOL 002 013 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. 022 SOL 002 014 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. 022 SOL 002 015 Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. 022 SOL 002 016 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. 022 SOL 002 017 Until the day shall break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. 022 SOL 003 001 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 022 SOL 003 002 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 022 SOL 003 003 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 022 SOL 003 004 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. 022 SOL 003 005 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. 022 SOL 003 006 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? 022 SOL 003 007 Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; sixty valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. 022 SOL 003 008 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. 022 SOL 003 009 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. 022 SOL 003 010 He made its posts of silver, the bottom of it of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst of it being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. 022 SOL 003 011 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart. 022 SOL 004 001 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. 022 SOL 004 002 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; all of which bear twins, and none is barren among them. 022 SOL 004 003 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of pomegranate within thy locks. 022 SOL 004 004 Thy neck is like the tower of David built for an armoury, on which hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 022 SOL 004 005 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. 022 SOL 004 006 Until the day shall break, and the shadows flee away, I will go up to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. 022 SOL 004 007 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. 022 SOL 004 008 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards. 022 SOL 004 009 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thy eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 022 SOL 004 010 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the fragrance of thy ointments than all spices! 022 SOL 004 011 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the scent of thy garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. 022 SOL 004 012 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. 022 SOL 004 013 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; henna, with spikenard, 022 SOL 004 014 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: 022 SOL 004 015 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. 022 SOL 004 016 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. 022 SOL 005 001 I have come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. 022 SOL 005 002 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. 022 SOL 005 003 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? 022 SOL 005 004 My beloved put his hand through the opening of the door, and my heart was moved for him. 022 SOL 005 005 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands flowed with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. 022 SOL 005 006 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 022 SOL 005 007 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. 022 SOL 005 008 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick with love. 022 SOL 005 009 What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? 022 SOL 005 010 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand. 022 SOL 005 011 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. 022 SOL 005 012 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. 022 SOL 005 013 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. 022 SOL 005 014 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. 022 SOL 005 015 His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. 022 SOL 005 016 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. 022 SOL 006 001 Where is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? where is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. 022 SOL 006 002 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. 022 SOL 006 003 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. 022 SOL 006 004 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. 022 SOL 006 005 Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. 022 SOL 006 006 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, of which every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them. 022 SOL 006 007 As a piece of pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. 022 SOL 006 008 There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number. 022 SOL 006 009 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. 022 SOL 006 010 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? 022 SOL 006 011 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded. 022 SOL 006 012 Before I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. 022 SOL 006 013 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies. 022 SOL 007 001 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilful workman. 022 SOL 007 002 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. 022 SOL 007 003 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. 022 SOL 007 004 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thy eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. 022 SOL 007 005 Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple; the king is held captive by her locks of hair. 022 SOL 007 006 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! 022 SOL 007 007 This thy stature is like a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 022 SOL 007 008 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its boughs: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the fragrance of thy breath like apples; 022 SOL 007 009 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. 022 SOL 007 010 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. 022 SOL 007 011 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. 022 SOL 007 012 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourisheth, whether the tender grape appeareth, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. 022 SOL 007 013 The mandrakes give a fragrance, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. 022 SOL 008 001 O that thou wert as my brother, that was nourished at the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee outside, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. 022 SOL 008 002 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother’s house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. 022 SOL 008 003 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. 022 SOL 008 004 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not, nor awake my love, until he please. 022 SOL 008 005 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened thee under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bore thee. 022 SOL 008 006 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals of it are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585) 022 SOL 008 007 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be despised. 022 SOL 008 008 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? 022 SOL 008 009 If she is a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she is a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. 022 SOL 008 010 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour. 022 SOL 008 011 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; every one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand pieces of silver. 022 SOL 008 012 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit of it two hundred. 022 SOL 008 013 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it. 022 SOL 008 014 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of spices. # # BOOK 023 ISA Isaiah Isaiah 023 ISA 001 001 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 023 ISA 001 002 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. 023 ISA 001 003 The ox knoweth his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. 023 ISA 001 004 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward. 023 ISA 001 005 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 023 ISA 001 006 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. 023 ISA 001 007 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, foreigners devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners. 023 ISA 001 008 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 023 ISA 001 009 Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah. 023 ISA 001 010 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 023 ISA 001 011 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats. 023 ISA 001 012 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 023 ISA 001 013 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 023 ISA 001 014 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing them. 023 ISA 001 015 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 023 ISA 001 016 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; 023 ISA 001 017 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 023 ISA 001 018 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 023 ISA 001 019 If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 023 ISA 001 020 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 023 ISA 001 021 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. 023 ISA 001 022 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 023 ISA 001 023 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them. 023 ISA 001 024 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will rid myself of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies: 023 ISA 001 025 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: 023 ISA 001 026 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. 023 ISA 001 027 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. 023 ISA 001 028 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. 023 ISA 001 029 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. 023 ISA 001 030 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. 023 ISA 001 031 And the strong shall be as a wick, and its maker as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them. 023 ISA 002 001 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 023 ISA 002 002 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mount of the LORD’S house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. 023 ISA 002 003 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 023 ISA 002 004 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 023 ISA 002 005 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. 023 ISA 002 006 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with the manners from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of foreigners. 023 ISA 002 007 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 023 ISA 002 008 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 023 ISA 002 009 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. 023 ISA 002 010 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. 023 ISA 002 011 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be abased, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 023 ISA 002 012 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 023 ISA 002 013 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 023 ISA 002 014 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 023 ISA 002 015 And upon every high tower, and upon every fortified wall, 023 ISA 002 016 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 023 ISA 002 017 And the loftiness of man shall be abased, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 023 ISA 002 018 And the idols he shall utterly abolish. 023 ISA 002 019 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 023 ISA 002 020 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 023 ISA 002 021 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 023 ISA 002 022 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for why is he to be esteemed? 023 ISA 003 001 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the rod and the staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water, 023 ISA 003 002 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, 023 ISA 003 003 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful craftsman, and the eloquent orator. 023 ISA 003 004 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. 023 ISA 003 005 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honourable. 023 ISA 003 006 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: 023 ISA 003 007 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people. 023 ISA 003 008 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. 023 ISA 003 009 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves. 023 ISA 003 010 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 023 ISA 003 011 Woe to the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. 023 ISA 003 012 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. 023 ISA 003 013 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. 023 ISA 003 014 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their princes: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 023 ISA 003 015 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 023 ISA 003 016 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with extended necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: 023 ISA 003 017 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will uncover their secret parts. 023 ISA 003 018 In that day the Lord will take away the show of their tinkling anklets, and their scarves, and their necklaces like the moon, 023 ISA 003 019 The pendant, and the bracelets, and the veils, 023 ISA 003 020 The headdresses, and the leg ornaments, and the headbands, and the perfume bottles, and the charms, 023 ISA 003 021 The rings, and nose jewels, 023 ISA 003 022 The fine robes, and the mantles, and the outer garments, and the purses, 023 ISA 003 023 The mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils. 023 ISA 003 024 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be a foul odour; and instead of a belt a rope; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a rich robe a girding of sackcloth; and a brand instead of beauty. 023 ISA 003 025 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. 023 ISA 003 026 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground. 023 ISA 004 001 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. 023 ISA 004 002 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be the pride and glory of them that have escaped of Israel. 023 ISA 004 003 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 023 ISA 004 004 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst of it by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 023 ISA 004 005 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. 023 ISA 004 006 And there shall be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. 023 ISA 005 001 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: 023 ISA 005 002 And he dug it, and removed its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress in it: and he expected that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. 023 ISA 005 003 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. 023 ISA 005 004 What more could have been done to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? 023 ISA 005 005 And now come; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down: 023 ISA 005 006 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor dug; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 023 ISA 005 007 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. 023 ISA 005 008 Woe to them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there is no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! 023 ISA 005 009 In my ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 023 ISA 005 010 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. 023 ISA 005 011 Woe to them that rise early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflames them! 023 ISA 005 012 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. 023 ISA 005 013 Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 023 ISA 005 014 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 005 015 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be abased: 023 ISA 005 016 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 023 ISA 005 017 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. 023 ISA 005 018 Woe to them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: 023 ISA 005 019 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it! 023 ISA 005 020 Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 023 ISA 005 021 Woe to them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 023 ISA 005 022 Woe to them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink: 023 ISA 005 023 Who justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 023 ISA 005 024 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 005 025 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills trembled, and their dead bodies were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 023 ISA 005 026 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and will hiss to them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: 023 ISA 005 027 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: 023 ISA 005 028 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: 023 ISA 005 029 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. 023 ISA 005 030 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one looketh to the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in its heavens. 023 ISA 006 001 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 023 ISA 006 002 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 023 ISA 006 003 And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 023 ISA 006 004 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 023 ISA 006 005 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 006 006 Then one of the seraphims flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 023 ISA 006 007 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 023 ISA 006 008 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 023 ISA 006 009 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 023 ISA 006 010 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and be healed. 023 ISA 006 011 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities shall be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, 023 ISA 006 012 And the LORD shall have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. 023 ISA 006 013 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance of it. 023 ISA 007 001 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. 023 ISA 007 002 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind. 023 ISA 007 003 Then said the LORD to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field; 023 ISA 007 004 And say to him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. 023 ISA 007 005 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, 023 ISA 007 006 Let us go up against Judah, and trouble it, and let us conquer it for ourselves and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal: 023 ISA 007 007 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 023 ISA 007 008 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. 023 ISA 007 009 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. 023 ISA 007 010 Moreover the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 023 ISA 007 011 Ask thee a sign from the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 007 012 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. 023 ISA 007 013 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? 023 ISA 007 014 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 023 ISA 007 015 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. 023 ISA 007 016 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken by both her kings. 023 ISA 007 017 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 007 018 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 023 ISA 007 019 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes. 023 ISA 007 020 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. 023 ISA 007 021 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; 023 ISA 007 022 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land. 023 ISA 007 023 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand pieces of silver, it shall even be for briers and thorns. 023 ISA 007 024 With arrows and with bows shall men come there; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. 023 ISA 007 025 And on all hills that shall be dug with the mattock, there shall not come there the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle. 023 ISA 008 001 Moreover the LORD said to me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. 023 ISA 008 002 And I took to me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. 023 ISA 008 003 And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. 023 ISA 008 004 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 008 005 The LORD spoke also to me again, saying, 023 ISA 008 006 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son; 023 ISA 008 007 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks: 023 ISA 008 008 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the spread of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. 023 ISA 008 009 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 023 ISA 008 010 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 023 ISA 008 011 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 023 ISA 008 012 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 023 ISA 008 013 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 023 ISA 008 014 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 023 ISA 008 015 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be ensnared, and be taken. 023 ISA 008 016 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 023 ISA 008 017 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 023 ISA 008 018 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion. 023 ISA 008 019 And when they shall say to you, Seek to them that are mediums, and to wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek to their God? for the living to the dead? 023 ISA 008 020 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 023 ISA 008 021 And they shall pass through it, distressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall be enraged, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 023 ISA 008 022 And they shall look to the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness. 023 ISA 009 001 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her distress, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. 023 ISA 009 002 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. 023 ISA 009 003 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and to him increased the joy: they rejoice before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 023 ISA 009 004 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. 023 ISA 009 005 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. 023 ISA 009 006 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 023 ISA 009 007 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. 023 ISA 009 008 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. 023 ISA 009 009 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, 023 ISA 009 010 The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. 023 ISA 009 011 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; 023 ISA 009 012 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 023 ISA 009 013 For the people turn not to him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 009 014 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. 023 ISA 009 015 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. 023 ISA 009 016 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led by them are destroyed. 023 ISA 009 017 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 023 ISA 009 018 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the rising of smoke. 023 ISA 009 019 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. 023 ISA 009 020 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: 023 ISA 009 021 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 023 ISA 010 001 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 023 ISA 010 002 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! 023 ISA 010 003 And what will ye do in the day of punishment, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? 023 ISA 010 004 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 023 ISA 010 005 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation. 023 ISA 010 006 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I command him, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 023 ISA 010 007 Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 023 ISA 010 008 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? 023 ISA 010 009 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus? 023 ISA 010 010 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 023 ISA 010 011 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? 023 ISA 010 012 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 023 ISA 010 013 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: 023 ISA 010 014 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 023 ISA 010 015 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it, or as if the staff should lift itself, as if it were no wood. 023 ISA 010 016 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire. 023 ISA 010 017 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day; 023 ISA 010 018 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth. 023 ISA 010 019 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them. 023 ISA 010 020 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 023 ISA 010 021 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 023 ISA 010 022 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the full end decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 023 ISA 010 023 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a full end, even determined, in the midst of all the land. 023 ISA 010 024 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 023 ISA 010 025 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction. 023 ISA 010 026 And the LORD of hosts shall raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 023 ISA 010 027 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 023 ISA 010 028 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath attended to his carriages: 023 ISA 010 029 They have gone over the pass: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled. 023 ISA 010 030 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth. 023 ISA 010 031 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 023 ISA 010 032 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 023 ISA 010 033 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 023 ISA 010 034 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. 023 ISA 011 001 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 023 ISA 011 002 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 023 ISA 011 003 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 023 ISA 011 004 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 023 ISA 011 005 And righteousness shall be the belt of his loins, and faithfulness the belt of his reins. 023 ISA 011 006 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 023 ISA 011 007 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 023 ISA 011 008 And the nursing child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the den of the adder. 023 ISA 011 009 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 023 ISA 011 010 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 023 ISA 011 011 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the isles of the sea. 023 ISA 011 012 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 023 ISA 011 013 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not distress Ephraim. 023 ISA 011 014 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 023 ISA 011 015 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. 023 ISA 011 016 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; as it was to Israel in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt. 023 ISA 012 001 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thy anger is turned away, and thou didst comfort me. 023 ISA 012 002 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. 023 ISA 012 003 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. 023 ISA 012 004 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. 023 ISA 012 005 Sing to the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. 023 ISA 012 006 Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. 023 ISA 013 001 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. 023 ISA 013 002 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. 023 ISA 013 003 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. 023 ISA 013 004 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. 023 ISA 013 005 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. 023 ISA 013 006 Wail ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 023 ISA 013 007 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: 023 ISA 013 008 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. 023 ISA 013 009 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy its sinners out of it. 023 ISA 013 010 For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 023 ISA 013 011 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 023 ISA 013 012 I will make a man more rare than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 023 ISA 013 013 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. 023 ISA 013 014 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one to his own land. 023 ISA 013 015 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined to them shall fall by the sword. 023 ISA 013 016 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished. 023 ISA 013 017 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. 023 ISA 013 018 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. 023 ISA 013 019 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 023 ISA 013 020 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. 023 ISA 013 021 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 023 ISA 013 022 And the wild beasts of the isles shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged. 023 ISA 014 001 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall unite with the house of Jacob. 023 ISA 014 002 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 023 ISA 014 003 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage in which thou wast made to serve, 023 ISA 014 004 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 023 ISA 014 005 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 023 ISA 014 006 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 023 ISA 014 007 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 023 ISA 014 008 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no woodsman is come up against us. 023 ISA 014 009 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 014 010 All they shall speak and say to thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like us? 023 ISA 014 011 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 014 012 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 023 ISA 014 013 For thou hast said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 023 ISA 014 014 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 023 ISA 014 015 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 014 016 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms; 023 ISA 014 017 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 023 ISA 014 018 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 023 ISA 014 019 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a dead body trodden under feet. 023 ISA 014 020 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 023 ISA 014 021 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 023 ISA 014 022 For I will arise against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 014 023 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 014 024 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 023 ISA 014 025 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 023 ISA 014 026 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched over all the nations. 023 ISA 014 027 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall frustrate it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 023 ISA 014 028 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 023 ISA 014 029 Rejoice not thou, all Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 023 ISA 014 030 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 023 ISA 014 031 Wail, O gate; cry, O city; thou, all Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 023 ISA 014 032 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. 023 ISA 015 001 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; 023 ISA 015 002 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall wail over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shorn. 023 ISA 015 003 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall wail, weeping abundantly. 023 ISA 015 004 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even to Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous to him. 023 ISA 015 005 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee to Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for they shall go up the ascent of Luhith with weeping for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise a cry of destruction. 023 ISA 015 006 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the herb is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. 023 ISA 015 007 Therefore the abundance they have gained, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. 023 ISA 015 008 For the cry hath gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim, and its howling to Beerelim. 023 ISA 015 009 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land. 023 ISA 016 001 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion. 023 ISA 016 002 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. 023 ISA 016 003 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; discover not him that wandereth. 023 ISA 016 004 Let my outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. 023 ISA 016 005 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and swiftly executing righteousness. 023 ISA 016 006 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so. 023 ISA 016 007 Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken. 023 ISA 016 008 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down its principal plants, they have come even to Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are extended, they have gone over the sea. 023 ISA 016 009 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. 023 ISA 016 010 And gladness is taken away, and joy from the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease. 023 ISA 016 011 Therefore my heart shall sound like an harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kirharesh. 023 ISA 016 012 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail. 023 ISA 016 013 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. 023 ISA 016 014 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be despised, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble. 023 ISA 017 001 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 023 ISA 017 002 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 023 ISA 017 003 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 017 004 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be diminished, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean. 023 ISA 017 005 And it shall be as when the reaper gathereth the grain, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim. 023 ISA 017 006 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches of it, saith the LORD God of Israel. 023 ISA 017 007 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 017 008 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images. 023 ISA 017 009 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. 023 ISA 017 010 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: 023 ISA 017 011 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. 023 ISA 017 012 Woe to the multitude of many people, who make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 023 ISA 017 013 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. 023 ISA 017 014 And behold at the time of evening trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that plunder us, and the lot of them that rob us. 023 ISA 018 001 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush: 023 ISA 018 002 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and stripped, to a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled! 023 ISA 018 003 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 023 ISA 018 004 For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 023 ISA 018 005 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. 023 ISA 018 006 They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. 023 ISA 018 007 In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and stripped, and from a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion. 023 ISA 019 001 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 023 ISA 019 002 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 023 ISA 019 003 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of her; and I will destroy its counsel: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to the mediums, and to the wizards. 023 ISA 019 004 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 019 005 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the rivers shall be wasted and dried up. 023 ISA 019 006 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. 023 ISA 019 007 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. 023 ISA 019 008 The fishermen also shall mourn, and all they that cast a line into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. 023 ISA 019 009 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave fine cloths, shall be confounded. 023 ISA 019 010 And they shall be broken in its purposes, all that make sluices and ponds for fish. 023 ISA 019 011 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become stupid: how say ye to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? 023 ISA 019 012 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. 023 ISA 019 013 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the support of its tribes. 023 ISA 019 014 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst of it: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work of it, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. 023 ISA 019 015 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may perform. 023 ISA 019 016 In that day shall Egypt be like women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it. 023 ISA 019 017 And the land of Judah shall be a terror to Egypt, every one that maketh mention of it shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it. 023 ISA 019 018 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. 023 ISA 019 019 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the LORD. 023 ISA 019 020 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. 023 ISA 019 021 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall offer sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow to the LORD, and perform it. 023 ISA 019 022 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be entreated by them, and shall heal them. 023 ISA 019 023 In that day shall there be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 023 ISA 019 024 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 023 ISA 019 025 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance. 023 ISA 020 001 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, ) and fought against Ashdod, and took it; 023 ISA 020 002 At the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 023 ISA 020 003 And the LORD said, As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Cush; 023 ISA 020 004 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Cushites captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their hind parts uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 023 ISA 020 005 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Cush their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 023 ISA 020 006 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape? 023 ISA 021 001 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. 023 ISA 021 002 A grievous vision is declared to me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler plundereth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all its sighing have I made to cease. 023 ISA 021 003 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it. 023 ISA 021 004 My heart panted, fearfulness terrified me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear to me. 023 ISA 021 005 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. 023 ISA 021 006 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. 023 ISA 021 007 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: 023 ISA 021 008 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my post whole nights: 023 ISA 021 009 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken to the ground. 023 ISA 021 010 O my threshing, and the grain of my floor: that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared to you. 023 ISA 021 011 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? 023 ISA 021 012 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come. 023 ISA 021 013 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. 023 ISA 021 014 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they met with their bread him that fled. 023 ISA 021 015 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. 023 ISA 021 016 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: 023 ISA 021 017 And the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it. 023 ISA 022 001 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou hast wholly gone up to the housetops? 023 ISA 022 002 Thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. 023 ISA 022 003 All thy rulers have fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, who have fled from far. 023 ISA 022 004 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the plundering of the daughter of my people. 023 ISA 022 005 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. 023 ISA 022 006 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. 023 ISA 022 007 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate. 023 ISA 022 008 And he uncovered the coverings of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. 023 ISA 022 009 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 023 ISA 022 010 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 023 ISA 022 011 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked to its maker, neither had respect to him that fashioned it long ago. 023 ISA 022 012 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 023 ISA 022 013 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. 023 ISA 022 014 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 023 ISA 022 015 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say, 023 ISA 022 016 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that cut out an habitation for himself in a rock? 023 ISA 022 017 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. 023 ISA 022 018 With violence he will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house. 023 ISA 022 019 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. 023 ISA 022 020 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 023 ISA 022 021 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 023 ISA 022 022 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 023 ISA 022 023 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house. 023 ISA 022 024 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. 023 ISA 022 025 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it. 023 ISA 023 001 The burden of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 023 ISA 023 002 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 023 ISA 023 003 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a market of nations. 023 ISA 023 004 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish young men, nor bring up virgins. 023 ISA 023 005 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be greatly pained at the report of Tyre. 023 ISA 023 006 Pass ye over to Tarshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the isle. 023 ISA 023 007 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her far off to sojourn. 023 ISA 023 008 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honourable of the earth? 023 ISA 023 009 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. 023 ISA 023 010 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 023 ISA 023 011 He stretched his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy its strong holds. 023 ISA 023 012 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest. 023 ISA 023 013 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up its towers, they raised up its palaces; and he brought it to ruin. 023 ISA 023 014 Wail, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. 023 ISA 023 015 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 023 ISA 023 016 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 023 ISA 023 017 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 023 ISA 023 018 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, for sufficient food and for durable clothing. 023 ISA 024 001 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants. 023 ISA 024 002 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him. 023 ISA 024 003 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. 023 ISA 024 004 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. 023 ISA 024 005 The earth also is defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 023 ISA 024 006 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell in it are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 023 ISA 024 007 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. 023 ISA 024 008 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 023 ISA 024 009 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. 023 ISA 024 010 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may enter. 023 ISA 024 011 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. 023 ISA 024 012 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. 023 ISA 024 013 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. 023 ISA 024 014 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 023 ISA 024 015 Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. 023 ISA 024 016 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. 023 ISA 024 017 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. 023 ISA 024 018 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. 023 ISA 024 019 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is all dissolved, the earth is exceedingly moved. 023 ISA 024 020 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression of it shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 023 ISA 024 021 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 023 ISA 024 022 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. 023 ISA 024 023 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously. 023 ISA 025 001 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 023 ISA 025 002 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a fortified city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. 023 ISA 025 003 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. 023 ISA 025 004 For thou hast been a defence to the poor, a defence to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 023 ISA 025 005 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. 023 ISA 025 006 And on this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of rich things, a feast of wines on the lees, of rich things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 023 ISA 025 007 And he will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 023 ISA 025 008 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he remove from all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 023 ISA 025 009 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 023 ISA 025 010 For on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. 023 ISA 025 011 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. 023 ISA 025 012 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust. 023 ISA 026 001 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. 023 ISA 026 002 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 023 ISA 026 003 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 023 ISA 026 004 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: 023 ISA 026 005 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 023 ISA 026 006 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 023 ISA 026 007 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 023 ISA 026 008 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. 023 ISA 026 009 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 023 ISA 026 010 Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. 023 ISA 026 011 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thy enemies shall devour them. 023 ISA 026 012 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 023 ISA 026 013 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 023 ISA 026 014 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. 023 ISA 026 015 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far to all the ends of the earth. 023 ISA 026 016 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. 023 ISA 026 017 As a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. 023 ISA 026 018 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance on the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 023 ISA 026 019 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. 023 ISA 026 020 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation shall be past. 023 ISA 026 021 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. 023 ISA 027 001 In that day the LORD with his fierce and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. 023 ISA 027 002 In that day sing ye to her, A vineyard of red wine. 023 ISA 027 003 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 023 ISA 027 004 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. 023 ISA 027 005 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. 023 ISA 027 006 He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. 023 ISA 027 007 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? 023 ISA 027 008 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. 023 ISA 027 009 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten asunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. 023 ISA 027 010 Yet the fortified city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches. 023 ISA 027 011 When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour. 023 ISA 027 012 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall gather from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. 023 ISA 027 013 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD on the holy mount at Jerusalem. 023 ISA 028 001 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, who are on the head of the rich valleys of them that are overcome with wine! 023 ISA 028 002 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, who as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. 023 ISA 028 003 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: 023 ISA 028 004 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the early fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. 023 ISA 028 005 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people, 023 ISA 028 006 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. 023 ISA 028 007 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are overwhelmed with wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 023 ISA 028 008 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. 023 ISA 028 009 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 023 ISA 028 010 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 023 ISA 028 011 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 023 ISA 028 012 To whom he said, This is the rest which ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 023 ISA 028 013 But the word of the LORD was to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 023 ISA 028 014 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people who are in Jerusalem. 023 ISA 028 015 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we in agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not reach us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 028 016 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 023 ISA 028 017 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 023 ISA 028 018 And your covenant with death shall be broken, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 028 019 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. 023 ISA 028 020 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 023 ISA 028 021 For the LORD shall rise as on mount Perazim, he shall be angry as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 023 ISA 028 022 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a destruction, even determined upon the whole earth. 023 ISA 028 023 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. 023 ISA 028 024 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 023 ISA 028 025 When he hath made even the face of it, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the wheat in rows and the appointed barley and the rye in their place? 023 ISA 028 026 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 023 ISA 028 027 For the black cummin are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the black cummin are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 023 ISA 028 028 Bread grain is ground; because he will not always be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor grind it with his horsemen. 023 ISA 028 029 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom. 023 ISA 029 001 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. 023 ISA 029 002 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be to me as Ariel. 023 ISA 029 003 And I will encamp against thee all around, and will lay siege against thee with a mound, and I will raise forts against thee. 023 ISA 029 004 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, like a medium, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. 023 ISA 029 005 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. 023 ISA 029 006 Thou shalt be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. 023 ISA 029 007 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her strong hold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. 023 ISA 029 008 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. 023 ISA 029 009 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 023 ISA 029 010 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 023 ISA 029 011 And the vision of all is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 023 ISA 029 012 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 023 ISA 029 013 Therefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 023 ISA 029 014 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 023 ISA 029 015 Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 023 ISA 029 016 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing formed say of him that formed it, He had no understanding? 023 ISA 029 017 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? 023 ISA 029 018 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 023 ISA 029 019 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 029 020 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the mocker is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 023 ISA 029 021 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. 023 ISA 029 022 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now become pale. 023 ISA 029 023 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. 023 ISA 029 024 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. 023 ISA 030 001 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not from me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: 023 ISA 030 002 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! 023 ISA 030 003 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. 023 ISA 030 004 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. 023 ISA 030 005 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 023 ISA 030 006 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from which come the young and the old lion, the viper and flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them. 023 ISA 030 007 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. 023 ISA 030 008 Now go, write it before them in a tablet, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: 023 ISA 030 009 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 023 ISA 030 010 Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 023 ISA 030 011 Withdraw from the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 023 ISA 030 012 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and relied on them: 023 ISA 030 013 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. 023 ISA 030 014 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potter’s vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a piece to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit. 023 ISA 030 015 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. 023 ISA 030 016 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 023 ISA 030 017 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. 023 ISA 030 018 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. 023 ISA 030 019 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 023 ISA 030 020 And though the Lord shall give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers: 023 ISA 030 021 And thy ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 023 ISA 030 022 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a polluted cloth; thou shalt say to it, Be gone from me. 023 ISA 030 023 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. 023 ISA 030 024 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that plow the ground shall eat cured fodder, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. 023 ISA 030 025 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 023 ISA 030 026 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. 023 ISA 030 027 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden of it is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: 023 ISA 030 028 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. 023 ISA 030 029 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come upon the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. 023 ISA 030 030 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. 023 ISA 030 031 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, who smote with a rod. 023 ISA 030 032 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. 023 ISA 030 033 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile of it is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. 023 ISA 031 001 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! 023 ISA 031 002 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity. 023 ISA 031 003 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together. 023 ISA 031 004 For thus hath the LORD spoken to me, As the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for its hill. 023 ISA 031 005 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. 023 ISA 031 006 Turn ye to him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. 023 ISA 031 007 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you for a sin. 023 ISA 031 008 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labourers. 023 ISA 031 009 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. 023 ISA 032 001 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. 023 ISA 032 002 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as streams of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. 023 ISA 032 003 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 023 ISA 032 004 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. 023 ISA 032 005 The vile person shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful. 023 ISA 032 006 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 023 ISA 032 007 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. 023 ISA 032 008 But the noble deviseth noble things; and by noble things shall he stand. 023 ISA 032 009 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear to my speech. 023 ISA 032 010 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come. 023 ISA 032 011 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip ye, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. 023 ISA 032 012 They shall lament for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 023 ISA 032 013 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; also, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: 023 ISA 032 014 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks; 023 ISA 032 015 Until the spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness shall be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted for a forest. 023 ISA 032 016 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 023 ISA 032 017 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 023 ISA 032 018 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 023 ISA 032 019 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 023 ISA 032 020 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth there the feet of the ox and the donkey. 023 ISA 033 001 Woe to thee that layest waste, and thou wast not laid waste; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to lay waste, thou shalt be wasted; and when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 023 ISA 033 002 O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 023 ISA 033 003 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. 023 ISA 033 004 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. 023 ISA 033 005 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 023 ISA 033 006 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. 023 ISA 033 007 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry outside: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. 023 ISA 033 008 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. 023 ISA 033 009 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits. 023 ISA 033 010 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. 023 ISA 033 011 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you. 023 ISA 033 012 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. 023 ISA 033 013 Ye that are far off, hear what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 023 ISA 033 014 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 023 ISA 033 015 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that keepeth his hands from accepting of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 023 ISA 033 016 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the strong holds of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. 023 ISA 033 017 Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. 023 ISA 033 018 Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? 023 ISA 033 019 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand. 023 ISA 033 020 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken. 023 ISA 033 021 But there the glorious LORD will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it. 023 ISA 033 022 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. 023 ISA 033 023 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. 023 ISA 033 024 And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity. 023 ISA 034 001 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is in it; the world, and all things that spring from it. 023 ISA 034 002 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. 023 ISA 034 003 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their foul odour shall come up from their dead bodies, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 023 ISA 034 004 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their hosts shall fall down, as the leaf falleth from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. 023 ISA 034 005 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 023 ISA 034 006 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 023 ISA 034 007 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the young bulls with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. 023 ISA 034 008 For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. 023 ISA 034 009 And its streams shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone, and its land shall become burning pitch. 023 ISA 034 010 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke of it shall ascend for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever. 023 ISA 034 011 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness. 023 ISA 034 012 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. 023 ISA 034 013 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in its fortresses: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls. 023 ISA 034 014 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the isle, and the satyr shall cry to his companion; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. 023 ISA 034 015 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate. 023 ISA 034 016 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall lack her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. 023 ISA 034 017 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell in it. 023 ISA 035 001 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 023 ISA 035 002 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 023 ISA 035 003 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 023 ISA 035 004 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. 023 ISA 035 005 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 023 ISA 035 006 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 023 ISA 035 007 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 023 ISA 035 008 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err in it. 023 ISA 035 009 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 023 ISA 035 010 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 023 ISA 036 001 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. 023 ISA 036 002 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem against king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field. 023 ISA 036 003 Then came forth to him Eliakim, Hilkiah’s son, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph’s son, the recorder. 023 ISA 036 004 And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which thou trustest? 023 ISA 036 005 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words ) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 023 ISA 036 006 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man lean, it will enter his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him. 023 ISA 036 007 But if thou shalt say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar? 023 ISA 036 008 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst on thy part set riders upon them. 023 ISA 036 009 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? 023 ISA 036 010 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 023 ISA 036 011 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 023 ISA 036 012 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may devour their own dung, and drink their own urine with you? 023 ISA 036 013 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 036 014 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you. 023 ISA 036 015 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 036 016 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern; 023 ISA 036 017 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. 023 ISA 036 018 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 023 ISA 036 019 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 023 ISA 036 020 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? 023 ISA 036 021 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 023 ISA 036 022 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. 023 ISA 037 001 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 023 ISA 037 002 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 023 ISA 037 003 And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 023 ISA 037 004 It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left. 023 ISA 037 005 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 023 ISA 037 006 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 023 ISA 037 007 Behold, I will send a wind upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. 023 ISA 037 008 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish. 023 ISA 037 009 And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 023 ISA 037 010 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 037 011 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered? 023 ISA 037 012 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar? 023 ISA 037 013 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? 023 ISA 037 014 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. 023 ISA 037 015 And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying, 023 ISA 037 016 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth. 023 ISA 037 017 Incline thy ear, O LORD, and hear; open thy eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God. 023 ISA 037 018 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, 023 ISA 037 019 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. 023 ISA 037 020 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. 023 ISA 037 021 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Though thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria: 023 ISA 037 022 This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. 023 ISA 037 023 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted thy eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 037 024 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots have I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees: and I will enter into the height of its border, and the forest of his Carmel. 023 ISA 037 025 I have dug, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places. 023 ISA 037 026 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps. 023 ISA 037 027 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blighted before it is grown up. 023 ISA 037 028 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 023 ISA 037 029 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. 023 ISA 037 030 And this shall be a sign to thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 023 ISA 037 031 And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward: 023 ISA 037 032 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. 023 ISA 037 033 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a mount against it. 023 ISA 037 034 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 037 035 For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. 023 ISA 037 036 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred and eighty and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies. 023 ISA 037 037 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 023 ISA 037 038 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead. 023 ISA 038 001 In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thy house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 023 ISA 038 002 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, 023 ISA 038 003 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 023 ISA 038 004 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, 023 ISA 038 005 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years. 023 ISA 038 006 And I will deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 023 ISA 038 007 And this shall be a sign to thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; 023 ISA 038 008 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which hath gone down on the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it had gone down. 023 ISA 038 009 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness: 023 ISA 038 010 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the rest of my years. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 038 011 I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. 023 ISA 038 012 My age hath departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 023 ISA 038 013 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 023 ISA 038 014 Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered: I mourned as a dove: my eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. 023 ISA 038 015 What shall I say? he hath both spoken to me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. 023 ISA 038 016 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou restore me, and make me to live. 023 ISA 038 017 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. 023 ISA 038 018 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 038 019 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. 023 ISA 038 020 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. 023 ISA 038 021 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover. 023 ISA 038 022 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD? 023 ISA 039 001 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and had recovered. 023 ISA 039 002 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasuries: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them. 023 ISA 039 003 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? and from where came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come to me, from a far country, even from Babylon. 023 ISA 039 004 Then said he, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them. 023 ISA 039 005 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: 023 ISA 039 006 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 039 007 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 023 ISA 039 008 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days. 023 ISA 040 001 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 023 ISA 040 002 Speak ye kindly to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received from the LORD’S hand double for all her sins. 023 ISA 040 003 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 023 ISA 040 004 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 023 ISA 040 005 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see it: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 023 ISA 040 006 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is as the flower of the field: 023 ISA 040 007 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 023 ISA 040 008 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. 023 ISA 040 009 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, go up upon the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God! 023 ISA 040 010 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 023 ISA 040 011 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. 023 ISA 040 012 Who hath comprehended the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 023 ISA 040 013 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 023 ISA 040 014 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding? 023 ISA 040 015 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 023 ISA 040 016 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering. 023 ISA 040 017 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 023 ISA 040 018 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare him to? 023 ISA 040 019 The workman casteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 023 ISA 040 020 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh for himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. 023 ISA 040 021 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 023 ISA 040 022 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: 023 ISA 040 023 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 023 ISA 040 024 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 023 ISA 040 025 To whom then will ye liken me, or to whom shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 023 ISA 040 026 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 023 ISA 040 027 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God? 023 ISA 040 028 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 023 ISA 040 029 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 023 ISA 040 030 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 023 ISA 040 031 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint. 023 ISA 041 001 Keep silence before me, O isles; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 023 ISA 041 002 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. 023 ISA 041 003 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 023 ISA 041 004 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 023 ISA 041 005 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 023 ISA 041 006 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. 023 ISA 041 007 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. 023 ISA 041 008 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. 023 ISA 041 009 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from its chief men, and said to thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 023 ISA 041 010 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 023 ISA 041 011 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that contend with thee shall perish. 023 ISA 041 012 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 023 ISA 041 013 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying to thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 023 ISA 041 014 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 041 015 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. 023 ISA 041 016 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 041 017 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 023 ISA 041 018 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 023 ISA 041 019 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together: 023 ISA 041 020 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. 023 ISA 041 021 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. 023 ISA 041 022 Let them bring them forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come. 023 ISA 041 023 Show the things that are to come after this, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. 023 ISA 041 024 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. 023 ISA 041 025 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. 023 ISA 041 026 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and in times past, that we may say, He is righteous? verily, there is none that showeth, verily, there is none that declareth, verily, there is none that heareth your words. 023 ISA 041 027 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. 023 ISA 041 028 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. 023 ISA 041 029 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion. 023 ISA 042 001 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 023 ISA 042 002 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 023 ISA 042 003 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth. 023 ISA 042 004 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 023 ISA 042 005 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk in it: 023 ISA 042 006 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 023 ISA 042 007 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 023 ISA 042 008 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 023 ISA 042 009 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 023 ISA 042 010 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles, and their inhabitants. 023 ISA 042 011 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 023 ISA 042 012 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the isles. 023 ISA 042 013 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. 023 ISA 042 014 I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and restrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. 023 ISA 042 015 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers isles, and I will dry up the pools. 023 ISA 042 016 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do for them, and not forsake them. 023 ISA 042 017 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. 023 ISA 042 018 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 023 ISA 042 019 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’S servant? 023 ISA 042 020 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 023 ISA 042 021 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. 023 ISA 042 022 But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. 023 ISA 042 023 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? 023 ISA 042 024 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his law. 023 ISA 042 025 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire all around, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. 023 ISA 043 001 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 023 ISA 043 002 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 023 ISA 043 003 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba for thee. 023 ISA 043 004 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 023 ISA 043 005 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 023 ISA 043 006 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 023 ISA 043 007 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; verily, I have made him. 023 ISA 043 008 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 023 ISA 043 009 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 023 ISA 043 010 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 023 ISA 043 011 I, even I, am the LORD; and besides me there is no saviour. 023 ISA 043 012 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. 023 ISA 043 013 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it? 023 ISA 043 014 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 023 ISA 043 015 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 023 ISA 043 016 Thus saith the LORD, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 023 ISA 043 017 Who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick. 023 ISA 043 018 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 023 ISA 043 019 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 023 ISA 043 020 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. 023 ISA 043 021 This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise. 023 ISA 043 022 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 023 ISA 043 023 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. 023 ISA 043 024 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities. 023 ISA 043 025 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 023 ISA 043 026 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 023 ISA 043 027 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 023 ISA 043 028 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches. 023 ISA 044 001 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 023 ISA 044 002 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. 023 ISA 044 003 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy offspring: 023 ISA 044 004 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. 023 ISA 044 005 One shall say, I am the LORD’S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand to the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. 023 ISA 044 006 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God. 023 ISA 044 007 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show to them. 023 ISA 044 008 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? verily, there is no God; I know not any. 023 ISA 044 009 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 023 ISA 044 010 Who hath formed a god, or cast a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 023 ISA 044 011 Behold, all his companions shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 023 ISA 044 012 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint. 023 ISA 044 013 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. 023 ISA 044 014 He heweth down cedars for himself and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. 023 ISA 044 015 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take of it, and warm himself; indeed, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down to it. 023 ISA 044 016 He burneth part of it in the fire; with part of it he eateth flesh; he roasteth meat, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 023 ISA 044 017 And the rest of it he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down to it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth to it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 023 ISA 044 018 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 023 ISA 044 019 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; I have also baked bread upon its coals; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the rest of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 023 ISA 044 020 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand? 023 ISA 044 021 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten by me. 023 ISA 044 022 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return to me; for I have redeemed thee. 023 ISA 044 023 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree in it: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. 023 ISA 044 024 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 023 ISA 044 025 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 023 ISA 044 026 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up its decayed places: 023 ISA 044 027 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: 023 ISA 044 028 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and he shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. 023 ISA 045 001 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 023 ISA 045 002 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut asunder the bars of iron: 023 ISA 045 003 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, who call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 023 ISA 045 004 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. 023 ISA 045 005 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God besides me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 023 ISA 045 006 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 023 ISA 045 007 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 023 ISA 045 008 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. 023 ISA 045 009 Woe to him that contendeth with his Maker! Let the potsherd contend with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 023 ISA 045 010 Woe to him that saith to his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 023 ISA 045 011 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 023 ISA 045 012 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 023 ISA 045 013 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 045 014 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to thee, they shall make supplication to thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 023 ISA 045 015 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. 023 ISA 045 016 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. 023 ISA 045 017 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 023 ISA 045 018 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 023 ISA 045 019 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. 023 ISA 045 020 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that have escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray to a god that cannot save. 023 ISA 045 021 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else besides me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me. 023 ISA 045 022 Look to me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 023 ISA 045 023 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 023 ISA 045 024 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 023 ISA 045 025 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. 023 ISA 046 001 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavily loaded; they were a burden to the weary beast. 023 ISA 046 002 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves have gone into captivity. 023 ISA 046 003 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne by me from birth, who are carried from the womb: 023 ISA 046 004 And even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. 023 ISA 046 005 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 023 ISA 046 006 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. 023 ISA 046 007 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not move: yea, one shall cry to him, yet he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble. 023 ISA 046 008 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. 023 ISA 046 009 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 023 ISA 046 010 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 023 ISA 046 011 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also perform it. 023 ISA 046 012 Hearken to me, ye stubborn in heart, that are far from righteousness: 023 ISA 046 013 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. 023 ISA 047 001 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 023 ISA 047 002 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. 023 ISA 047 003 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. 023 ISA 047 004 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 047 005 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 023 ISA 047 006 I was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 023 ISA 047 007 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember its latter end. 023 ISA 047 008 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest securely, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 023 ISA 047 009 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thy enchantments. 023 ISA 047 010 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and none else besides me. 023 ISA 047 011 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from where it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. 023 ISA 047 012 Stand now with thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast laboured from thy youth; if thou shalt be able to profit, if thou mayest prevail. 023 ISA 047 013 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. 023 ISA 047 014 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. 023 ISA 047 015 Thus shall they be to thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee. 023 ISA 048 001 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. 023 ISA 048 002 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. 023 ISA 048 003 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. 023 ISA 048 004 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 023 ISA 048 005 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. 023 ISA 048 006 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. 023 ISA 048 007 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 023 ISA 048 008 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. 023 ISA 048 009 For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I restrain it for thee, that I cut thee not off. 023 ISA 048 010 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 023 ISA 048 011 For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another. 023 ISA 048 012 Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. 023 ISA 048 013 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together. 023 ISA 048 014 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; who among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 023 ISA 048 015 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. 023 ISA 048 016 Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. 023 ISA 048 017 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 023 ISA 048 018 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 023 ISA 048 019 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. 023 ISA 048 020 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. 023 ISA 048 021 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out. 023 ISA 048 022 There is no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked. 023 ISA 049 001 Listen, to me O isles; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the body of my mother hath he made mention of my name. 023 ISA 049 002 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; 023 ISA 049 003 And said to me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 023 ISA 049 004 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. 023 ISA 049 005 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. 023 ISA 049 006 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation to the end of the earth. 023 ISA 049 007 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. 023 ISA 049 008 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; 023 ISA 049 009 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. 023 ISA 049 010 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. 023 ISA 049 011 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. 023 ISA 049 012 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. 023 ISA 049 013 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. 023 ISA 049 014 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 023 ISA 049 015 Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee. 023 ISA 049 016 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. 023 ISA 049 017 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee. 023 ISA 049 018 Lift up thy eyes all around, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. 023 ISA 049 019 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too small by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. 023 ISA 049 020 The children who thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thy ears, The place is too small for me: give place to me that I may dwell. 023 ISA 049 021 Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath begotten these for me, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and moving to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where have they been? 023 ISA 049 022 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 023 ISA 049 023 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. 023 ISA 049 024 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 023 ISA 049 025 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 023 ISA 049 026 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 023 ISA 050 001 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or whom of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 023 ISA 050 002 Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 023 ISA 050 003 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. 023 ISA 050 004 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he awakeneth morning by morning, he awakeneth my ear to hear as the learned. 023 ISA 050 005 The Lord GOD opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned backward. 023 ISA 050 006 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 023 ISA 050 007 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 023 ISA 050 008 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me. 023 ISA 050 009 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. 023 ISA 050 010 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely upon his God. 023 ISA 050 011 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that surround yourselves with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. 023 ISA 051 001 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look to the rock from which ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which ye are dug. 023 ISA 051 002 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. 023 ISA 051 003 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 023 ISA 051 004 Hearken to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. 023 ISA 051 005 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust. 023 ISA 051 006 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall become old like a garment, and its inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. 023 ISA 051 007 Hearken to me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. 023 ISA 051 008 For the moth shall eat them like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation. 023 ISA 051 009 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not that which hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? 023 ISA 051 010 Art thou not that which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? 023 ISA 051 011 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and mourning shall flee away. 023 ISA 051 012 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass; 023 ISA 051 013 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? 023 ISA 051 014 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. 023 ISA 051 015 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. 023 ISA 051 016 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou art my people. 023 ISA 051 017 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drank the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out. 023 ISA 051 018 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up. 023 ISA 051 019 These two things have come to thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? 023 ISA 051 020 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God. 023 ISA 051 021 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunk, but not with wine: 023 ISA 051 022 Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: 023 ISA 051 023 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over. 023 ISA 052 001 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. 023 ISA 052 002 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 023 ISA 052 003 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and ye shall be redeemed without money. 023 ISA 052 004 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down in times past into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 023 ISA 052 005 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to wail, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. 023 ISA 052 006 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. 023 ISA 052 007 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that proclaimeth salvation; that saith to Zion, Thy God reigneth! 023 ISA 052 008 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. 023 ISA 052 009 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 023 ISA 052 010 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. 023 ISA 052 011 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. 023 ISA 052 012 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. 023 ISA 052 013 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 023 ISA 052 014 As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 023 ISA 052 015 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. 023 ISA 053 001 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 023 ISA 053 002 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 023 ISA 053 003 He is despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 023 ISA 053 004 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 023 ISA 053 005 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 023 ISA 053 006 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 023 ISA 053 007 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. 023 ISA 053 008 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off from the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 023 ISA 053 009 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 023 ISA 053 010 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 023 ISA 053 011 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 023 ISA 053 012 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. 023 ISA 054 001 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 054 002 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them extend the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; 023 ISA 054 003 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 023 ISA 054 004 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 023 ISA 054 005 For thy Maker is thy husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 023 ISA 054 006 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 023 ISA 054 007 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 023 ISA 054 008 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 023 ISA 054 009 For this is as the waters of Noah to me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more overflow the earth; so have I sworn that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee. 023 ISA 054 010 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. 023 ISA 054 011 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 023 ISA 054 012 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. 023 ISA 054 013 And all thy children shall be taught from the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 023 ISA 054 014 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 023 ISA 054 015 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 023 ISA 054 016 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 023 ISA 054 017 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from me, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 055 001 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 023 ISA 055 002 Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 023 ISA 055 003 Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 023 ISA 055 004 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 023 ISA 055 005 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run to thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. 023 ISA 055 006 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 023 ISA 055 007 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 023 ISA 055 008 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 055 009 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 023 ISA 055 010 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not there, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 023 ISA 055 011 So shall my word be that proceedeth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. 023 ISA 055 012 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 023 ISA 055 013 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. 023 ISA 056 001 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 023 ISA 056 002 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 023 ISA 056 003 Neither let the son of the foreigner, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 023 ISA 056 004 For thus saith the LORD to the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 023 ISA 056 005 Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 023 ISA 056 006 Also the sons of the foreigner, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 023 ISA 056 007 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 023 ISA 056 008 The Lord GOD who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, Yet will I gather others to him, besides those that are gathered to him. 023 ISA 056 009 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. 023 ISA 056 010 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 023 ISA 056 011 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 023 ISA 056 012 Come ye, say they, I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. 023 ISA 057 001 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 023 ISA 057 002 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. 023 ISA 057 003 But come here, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot. 023 ISA 057 004 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and stick out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, 023 ISA 057 005 Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks? 023 ISA 057 006 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these? 023 ISA 057 007 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even there thou wentest up to offer sacrifice. 023 ISA 057 008 Behind the doors also and the door posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast uncovered thyself to another than me, and hast gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou didst love their bed where thou sawest it. 023 ISA 057 009 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even to hell. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 057 010 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thy hand; therefore thou wast not grieved. 023 ISA 057 011 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not? 023 ISA 057 012 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee. 023 ISA 057 013 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain; 023 ISA 057 014 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. 023 ISA 057 015 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 023 ISA 057 016 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always angry: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls whom I have made. 023 ISA 057 017 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and smote him: I hid myself, and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. 023 ISA 057 018 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. 023 ISA 057 019 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. 023 ISA 057 020 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 023 ISA 057 021 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. 023 ISA 058 001 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 023 ISA 058 002 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 023 ISA 058 003 Why have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? why have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. 023 ISA 058 004 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 023 ISA 058 005 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 023 ISA 058 006 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? 023 ISA 058 007 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou shouldest bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou shouldest cover him; and that thou shouldest not hide thyself from thy own flesh? 023 ISA 058 008 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rear guard. 023 ISA 058 009 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou shalt take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 023 ISA 058 010 And if thou shalt draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 023 ISA 058 011 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 023 ISA 058 012 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 023 ISA 058 013 If thou shalt turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thy own ways, nor finding thy own pleasure, nor speaking thy own words: 023 ISA 058 014 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 023 ISA 059 001 Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 023 ISA 059 002 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 023 ISA 059 003 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath uttered perverseness. 023 ISA 059 004 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 023 ISA 059 005 They hatch eggs of an adder, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 023 ISA 059 006 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. 023 ISA 059 007 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. 023 ISA 059 008 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whoever goeth in it shall not know peace. 023 ISA 059 009 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 023 ISA 059 010 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. 023 ISA 059 011 We all roar like bears, and mourn bitterly like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us. 023 ISA 059 012 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 023 ISA 059 013 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 023 ISA 059 014 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 023 ISA 059 015 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. 023 ISA 059 016 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 023 ISA 059 017 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. 023 ISA 059 018 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the isles he will repay recompence. 023 ISA 059 019 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. 023 ISA 059 020 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 059 021 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. 023 ISA 060 001 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 023 ISA 060 002 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 023 ISA 060 003 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 023 ISA 060 004 Lift up thy eyes around, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 023 ISA 060 005 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thy heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted to thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come to thee. 023 ISA 060 006 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD. 023 ISA 060 007 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to thee: they shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 023 ISA 060 008 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as doves to their windows? 023 ISA 060 009 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 023 ISA 060 010 And the sons of foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister to thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 023 ISA 060 011 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 023 ISA 060 012 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 023 ISA 060 013 The glory of Lebanon shall come to thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 023 ISA 060 014 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending to thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 060 015 Though thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an everlasting pride, a joy of many generations. 023 ISA 060 016 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 023 ISA 060 017 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thy exactors righteousness. 023 ISA 060 018 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 023 ISA 060 019 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to thee: but the LORD shall be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 023 ISA 060 020 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thy everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 023 ISA 060 021 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 023 ISA 060 022 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in its time. 023 ISA 061 001 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 023 ISA 061 002 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 023 ISA 061 003 To appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. 023 ISA 061 004 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 023 ISA 061 005 And foreigners shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 023 ISA 061 006 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. 023 ISA 061 007 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be to them. 023 ISA 061 008 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 023 ISA 061 009 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. 023 ISA 061 010 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 023 ISA 061 011 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. 023 ISA 062 001 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness shall go forth as brightness, and its salvation as a lamp that burneth. 023 ISA 062 002 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 023 ISA 062 003 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 023 ISA 062 004 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 023 ISA 062 005 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. 023 ISA 062 006 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 023 ISA 062 007 And give him no rest, till he shall establish, and till he shall make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 023 ISA 062 008 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thy enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured: 023 ISA 062 009 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. 023 ISA 062 010 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 023 ISA 062 011 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed to the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 023 ISA 062 012 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. 023 ISA 063 001 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 023 ISA 063 002 Why art thou red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winepress? 023 ISA 063 003 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 023 ISA 063 004 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 023 ISA 063 005 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me. 023 ISA 063 006 And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. 023 ISA 063 007 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 023 ISA 063 008 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. 023 ISA 063 009 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old. 023 ISA 063 010 But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. 023 ISA 063 011 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him? 023 ISA 063 012 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 023 ISA 063 013 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? 023 ISA 063 014 As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. 023 ISA 063 015 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy heart and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? 023 ISA 063 016 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. 023 ISA 063 017 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thy inheritance. 023 ISA 063 018 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 023 ISA 063 019 We are thine: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name. 023 ISA 064 001 O that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 023 ISA 064 002 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thy adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 023 ISA 064 003 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. 023 ISA 064 004 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. 023 ISA 064 005 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. 023 ISA 064 006 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 023 ISA 064 007 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. 023 ISA 064 008 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. 023 ISA 064 009 Be not very angry, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 023 ISA 064 010 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 023 ISA 064 011 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 023 ISA 064 012 Wilt thou restrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and grievously afflict us? 023 ISA 065 001 I am sought by them that asked not for me; I am found by them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name. 023 ISA 065 002 I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walketh in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts; 023 ISA 065 003 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 023 ISA 065 004 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 023 ISA 065 005 Who say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 023 ISA 065 006 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, 023 ISA 065 007 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, who have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. 023 ISA 065 008 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all. 023 ISA 065 009 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 023 ISA 065 010 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 023 ISA 065 011 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering to that number. 023 ISA 065 012 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spoke, ye did not hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose that in which I delighted not. 023 ISA 065 013 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: 023 ISA 065 014 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit. 023 ISA 065 015 And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 023 ISA 065 016 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes. 023 ISA 065 017 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 023 ISA 065 018 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 023 ISA 065 019 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 023 ISA 065 020 There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 023 ISA 065 021 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 023 ISA 065 022 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and my elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 023 ISA 065 023 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 023 ISA 065 024 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 023 ISA 065 025 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox: and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 066 001 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build to me? and where is the place of my rest? 023 ISA 066 002 For all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 023 ISA 066 003 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. 023 ISA 066 004 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. 023 ISA 066 005 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 023 ISA 066 006 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies. 023 ISA 066 007 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a son. 023 ISA 066 008 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 023 ISA 066 009 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 023 ISA 066 010 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 023 ISA 066 011 That ye may nurse, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may draw milk, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 023 ISA 066 012 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye be nursed, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 023 ISA 066 013 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 023 ISA 066 014 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. 023 ISA 066 015 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 023 ISA 066 016 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 023 ISA 066 017 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 066 018 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 023 ISA 066 019 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. 023 ISA 066 020 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. 023 ISA 066 021 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 066 022 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 023 ISA 066 023 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 066 024 And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh. # # BOOK 024 JER Jeremiah Jeremiah 024 JER 001 001 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: 024 JER 001 002 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 024 JER 001 003 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 024 JER 001 004 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 024 JER 001 005 Before I formed thee in the womb I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations. 024 JER 001 006 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 024 JER 001 007 But the LORD said to me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatever I command thee thou shalt speak. 024 JER 001 008 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 024 JER 001 009 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 024 JER 001 010 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. 024 JER 001 011 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. 024 JER 001 012 Then said the LORD to me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. 024 JER 001 013 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a boiling pot; and its face is toward the north. 024 JER 001 014 Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 024 JER 001 015 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls on every side, and against all the cities of Judah. 024 JER 001 016 And I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. 024 JER 001 017 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. 024 JER 001 018 For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. 024 JER 001 019 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee. 024 JER 002 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 024 JER 002 002 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thy espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 024 JER 002 003 Israel was holiness to the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 002 004 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: 024 JER 002 005 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and have become vain? 024 JER 002 006 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? 024 JER 002 007 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit of it and the goodness of it but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. 024 JER 002 008 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. 024 JER 002 009 Therefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead. 024 JER 002 010 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there is such a thing. 024 JER 002 011 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 024 JER 002 012 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. 024 JER 002 013 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 024 JER 002 014 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he laid waste? 024 JER 002 015 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. 024 JER 002 016 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head. 024 JER 002 017 Hast thou not procured this to thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way? 024 JER 002 018 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river? 024 JER 002 019 Thy own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 024 JER 002 020 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 024 JER 002 021 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to me? 024 JER 002 022 For though thou shalt wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thy iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD. 024 JER 002 023 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways; 024 JER 002 024 A wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her. 024 JER 002 025 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. 024 JER 002 026 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, 024 JER 002 027 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. 024 JER 002 028 But where are thy gods that thou hast made for thyself? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. 024 JER 002 029 Why will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 002 030 In vain have I smitten your children; they have received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. 024 JER 002 031 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? a land of darkness? why say my people, We are lords; we will come no more to thee? 024 JER 002 032 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 024 JER 002 033 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. 024 JER 002 034 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these. 024 JER 002 035 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. 024 JER 002 036 Why dost thou go about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. 024 JER 002 037 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thy hands upon thy head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them. 024 JER 003 001 They say, If a man shall put away his wife, and she shall go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return to her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 003 002 Lift up thy eyes to the high places, and see where thou hast not been lain with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy harlotry and with thy wickedness. 024 JER 003 003 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst an harlot’s forehead, thou didst refuse to be ashamed. 024 JER 003 004 Wilt thou not from this time cry to me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? 024 JER 003 005 Will he retain his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. 024 JER 003 006 The LORD said also to me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she hath gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. 024 JER 003 007 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou to me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 024 JER 003 008 And I saw, when for all the causes by which backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. 024 JER 003 009 And it came to pass through the lightness of her harlotry, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 024 JER 003 010 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned to me with her whole heart, but deceitfully, saith the LORD. 024 JER 003 011 And the LORD said to me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. 024 JER 003 012 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause my anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. 024 JER 003 013 Only acknowledge thy iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD. 024 JER 003 014 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: 024 JER 003 015 And I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. 024 JER 003 016 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall that be done any more. 024 JER 003 017 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. 024 JER 003 018 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together from the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance to your fathers. 024 JER 003 019 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me. 024 JER 003 020 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. 024 JER 003 021 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. 024 JER 003 022 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come to thee; for thou art the LORD our God. 024 JER 003 023 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. 024 JER 003 024 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 024 JER 003 025 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God. 024 JER 004 001 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return to me: and if thou wilt put away thy abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not be removed. 024 JER 004 002 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. 024 JER 004 003 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. 024 JER 004 004 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 024 JER 004 005 Declare ye in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, confirm, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities. 024 JER 004 006 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. 024 JER 004 007 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. 024 JER 004 008 For this gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament and wail: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. 024 JER 004 009 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. 024 JER 004 010 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; though the sword reacheth to the soul. 024 JER 004 011 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, 024 JER 004 012 Even a full wind from those places shall come to me: now also will I give sentence against them. 024 JER 004 013 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are laid waste. 024 JER 004 014 O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? 024 JER 004 015 For a voice declareth from Dan, and proclaimeth affliction from mount Ephraim. 024 JER 004 016 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, proclaim against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. 024 JER 004 017 As keepers of a field, they are against her on all sides; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 004 018 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things to thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth to thy heart. 024 JER 004 019 My heart, my heart! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 024 JER 004 020 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents ruined, and my curtains in a moment. 024 JER 004 021 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 024 JER 004 022 For my people are foolish, they have not known me; they are silly children, and they have no understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 024 JER 004 023 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 024 JER 004 024 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 024 JER 004 025 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the fowls of the heavens had fled. 024 JER 004 026 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 024 JER 004 027 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 024 JER 004 028 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. 024 JER 004 029 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell in it. 024 JER 004 030 And when thou art laid waste, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlarge thy eyes with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life. 024 JER 004 031 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. 024 JER 005 001 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find a man, if there is any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. 024 JER 005 002 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. 024 JER 005 003 O LORD, are not thy eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. 024 JER 005 004 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. 024 JER 005 005 I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. 024 JER 005 006 Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out from there shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased. 024 JER 005 007 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses. 024 JER 005 008 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife. 024 JER 005 009 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 024 JER 005 010 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S. 024 JER 005 011 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 005 012 They have denied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: 024 JER 005 013 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them. 024 JER 005 014 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 024 JER 005 015 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 024 JER 005 016 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 024 JER 005 017 And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish with the sword thy fortified cities, in which thou didst trust. 024 JER 005 018 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. 024 JER 005 019 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Why doeth the LORD our God all these things to us? then shalt thou answer them, As ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. 024 JER 005 020 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying, 024 JER 005 021 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not: 024 JER 005 022 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though its waves toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 024 JER 005 023 But this people have a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone. 024 JER 005 024 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season: he reserveth to us the appointed weeks of harvest. 024 JER 005 025 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you. 024 JER 005 026 For among my people are found wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 024 JER 005 027 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and have grown rich. 024 JER 005 028 They have become fat, they shine: yea, they exceed the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 024 JER 005 029 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 024 JER 005 030 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 024 JER 005 031 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in its end? 024 JER 006 001 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. 024 JER 006 002 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. 024 JER 006 003 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her on every side; they shall feed every one in his place. 024 JER 006 004 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day departeth, for the shadows of the evening are lengthened. 024 JER 006 005 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. 024 JER 006 006 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. 024 JER 006 007 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually are grief and wounds. 024 JER 006 008 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited. 024 JER 006 009 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thy hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. 024 JER 006 010 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it. 024 JER 006 011 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. 024 JER 006 012 And their houses shall be turned to others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD. 024 JER 006 013 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one dealeth falsely. 024 JER 006 014 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 024 JER 006 015 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 024 JER 006 016 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it. 024 JER 006 017 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. 024 JER 006 018 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 024 JER 006 019 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened to my words, nor to my law, but have rejected it. 024 JER 006 020 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a distant country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to me. 024 JER 006 021 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. 024 JER 006 022 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. 024 JER 006 023 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion. 024 JER 006 024 We have heard the report of it: our hands become feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 024 JER 006 025 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. 024 JER 006 026 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. 024 JER 006 027 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. 024 JER 006 028 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. 024 JER 006 029 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. 024 JER 006 030 Rejected silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them. 024 JER 007 001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 007 002 Stand in the gate of the LORD’S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. 024 JER 007 003 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 024 JER 007 004 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 024 JER 007 005 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 024 JER 007 006 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your harm: 024 JER 007 007 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 024 JER 007 008 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 024 JER 007 009 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 024 JER 007 010 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 024 JER 007 011 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. 024 JER 007 012 But go ye now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 024 JER 007 013 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; 024 JER 007 014 Therefore will I do to this house, which is called by my name, in which ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 024 JER 007 015 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. 024 JER 007 016 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. 024 JER 007 017 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 024 JER 007 018 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 024 JER 007 019 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 024 JER 007 020 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. 024 JER 007 021 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 024 JER 007 022 For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 024 JER 007 023 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you. 024 JER 007 024 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. 024 JER 007 025 Since the day that your fathers came forth from the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising early and sending them: 024 JER 007 026 Yet they hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. 024 JER 007 027 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words to them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call to them; but they will not answer thee. 024 JER 007 028 But thou shalt say to them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth hath perished, and is cut off from their mouth. 024 JER 007 029 Cut off thy hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. 024 JER 007 030 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. 024 JER 007 031 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. 024 JER 007 032 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there shall be no place. 024 JER 007 033 And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away. 024 JER 007 034 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate. 024 JER 008 001 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves: 024 JER 008 002 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for refuse upon the face of the earth. 024 JER 008 003 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the remnant of them that remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts. 024 JER 008 004 Moreover thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not rise? shall he turn away, and not return? 024 JER 008 005 Why then hath this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 024 JER 008 006 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth to the battle. 024 JER 008 007 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD. 024 JER 008 008 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain he hath made it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. 024 JER 008 009 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? 024 JER 008 010 Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one dealeth falsely. 024 JER 008 011 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 024 JER 008 012 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their punishment they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 024 JER 008 013 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given to them shall pass away from them. 024 JER 008 014 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. 024 JER 008 015 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! 024 JER 008 016 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell in it. 024 JER 008 017 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. 024 JER 008 018 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. 024 JER 008 019 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a distant country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities? 024 JER 008 020 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. 024 JER 008 021 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 024 JER 008 022 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? 024 JER 009 001 O that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! 024 JER 009 002 O that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. 024 JER 009 003 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 009 004 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. 024 JER 009 005 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 024 JER 009 006 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 009 007 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? 024 JER 009 008 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he lieth in wait. 024 JER 009 009 Shall I not punish them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 024 JER 009 010 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast have fled; they are gone. 024 JER 009 011 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. 024 JER 009 012 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? 024 JER 009 013 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked in it; 024 JER 009 014 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: 024 JER 009 015 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 024 JER 009 016 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. 024 JER 009 017 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for skilful women, that they may come: 024 JER 009 018 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. 024 JER 009 019 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we laid waste! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out. 024 JER 009 020 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation. 024 JER 009 021 For death hath come up into our windows, and hath entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets. 024 JER 009 022 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the dead bodies of men shall fall as refuse upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them. 024 JER 009 023 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 024 JER 009 024 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD who exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. 024 JER 009 025 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them who are circumcised with the uncircumcised; 024 JER 009 026 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart. 024 JER 010 001 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh to you, O house of Israel: 024 JER 010 002 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 024 JER 010 003 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 024 JER 010 004 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it may not move. 024 JER 010 005 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. 024 JER 010 006 Forasmuch as there is none like thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 024 JER 010 007 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like thee. 024 JER 010 008 But they are altogether stupid and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. 024 JER 010 009 Silver beaten into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman, and of the hands of the goldsmith: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of skilful men. 024 JER 010 010 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 024 JER 010 011 Thus shall ye say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 024 JER 010 012 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding. 024 JER 010 013 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 024 JER 010 014 Every man is stupid in his knowledge: every goldsmith is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 024 JER 010 015 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their punishment they shall perish. 024 JER 010 016 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. 024 JER 010 017 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. 024 JER 010 018 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. 024 JER 010 019 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. 024 JER 010 020 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. 024 JER 010 021 For the pastors have become stupid, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 024 JER 010 022 Behold, the sound of a rumour is come, and a great commotion from the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. 024 JER 010 023 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 024 JER 010 024 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thy anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 024 JER 010 025 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. 024 JER 011 001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 011 002 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 024 JER 011 003 And say thou to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, 024 JER 011 004 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: 024 JER 011 005 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. 024 JER 011 006 Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 024 JER 011 007 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 024 JER 011 008 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. 024 JER 011 009 And the LORD said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 024 JER 011 010 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 024 JER 011 011 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I will not hearken to them. 024 JER 011 012 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 024 JER 011 013 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal. 024 JER 011 014 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time when they cry to me for their trouble. 024 JER 011 015 What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. 024 JER 011 016 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. 024 JER 011 017 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal. 024 JER 011 018 And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou didst show me their doings. 024 JER 011 019 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. 024 JER 011 020 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to thee have I revealed my cause. 024 JER 011 021 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand: 024 JER 011 022 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: 024 JER 011 023 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment. 024 JER 012 001 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of thy judgments: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? why are they all happy that deal very treacherously? 024 JER 012 002 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 024 JER 012 003 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. 024 JER 012 004 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. 024 JER 012 005 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which thou didst trust, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? 024 JER 012 006 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee. 024 JER 012 007 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 024 JER 012 008 My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. 024 JER 012 009 My heritage is to me as a speckled bird, the birds on every side are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. 024 JER 012 010 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 024 JER 012 011 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. 024 JER 012 012 The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. 024 JER 012 013 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 024 JER 012 014 Thus saith the LORD against all my evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. 024 JER 012 015 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. 024 JER 012 016 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. 024 JER 012 017 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD. 024 JER 013 001 Thus saith the LORD to me, Go and purchase a linen waistband, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 024 JER 013 002 So I bought a waistband according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. 024 JER 013 003 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, 024 JER 013 004 Take the waistband that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock. 024 JER 013 005 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. 024 JER 013 006 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the waistband from there, which I commanded thee to hide there. 024 JER 013 007 Then I went to Euphrates, and dug, and took the waistband from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the waistband was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 024 JER 013 008 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 024 JER 013 009 Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 024 JER 013 010 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this waistband, which is good for nothing. 024 JER 013 011 For as the waistband cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear. 024 JER 013 012 Therefore thou shalt speak to them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? 024 JER 013 013 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. 024 JER 013 014 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. 024 JER 013 015 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. 024 JER 013 016 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he shall cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he shall turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 024 JER 013 017 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD’S flock is carried away captive. 024 JER 013 018 Say to the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. 024 JER 013 019 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive. 024 JER 013 020 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 024 JER 013 021 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail? 024 JER 013 022 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, Why come these things upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels made bare. 024 JER 013 023 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. 024 JER 013 024 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 024 JER 013 025 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 024 JER 013 026 Therefore will I uncover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 024 JER 013 027 I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy harlotry, and thy abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be? 024 JER 014 001 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. 024 JER 014 002 Judah mourneth, and her gates languish; they are black to the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 024 JER 014 003 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. 024 JER 014 004 Because the ground is parched, for there was no rain on the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. 024 JER 014 005 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. 024 JER 014 006 And the wild donkeys stood in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes failed, because there was no grass. 024 JER 014 007 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 024 JER 014 008 O the hope of Israel, his saviour in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 024 JER 014 009 Why shouldest thou be as a man dismayed, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. 024 JER 014 010 Thus saith the LORD to this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not restrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. 024 JER 014 011 Then said the LORD to me, Pray not for this people for their good. 024 JER 014 012 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. 024 JER 014 013 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say to them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. 024 JER 014 014 Then the LORD said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoken to them: they prophesy to you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 024 JER 014 015 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. 024 JER 014 016 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. 024 JER 014 017 Therefore thou shalt say this word to them; Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. 024 JER 014 018 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not. 024 JER 014 019 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul abhorred Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! 024 JER 014 020 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. 024 JER 014 021 Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. 024 JER 014 022 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things. 024 JER 015 001 Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. 024 JER 015 002 And it shall come to pass, if they say to thee, Where shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. 024 JER 015 003 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy. 024 JER 015 004 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. 024 JER 015 005 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask concerning thy welfare? 024 JER 015 006 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. 024 JER 015 007 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways. 024 JER 015 008 Their widows are multiplied to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. 024 JER 015 009 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath breathed her last; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the remnant of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD. 024 JER 015 010 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on interest, nor have men lent to me on interest; yet every one of them doth curse me. 024 JER 015 011 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. 024 JER 015 012 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? 024 JER 015 013 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. 024 JER 015 014 And I will make thee to pass with thy enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you. 024 JER 015 015 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 024 JER 015 016 Thy words were found, and I ate them; and thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. 024 JER 015 017 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. 024 JER 015 018 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether to me as a liar, and as waters that fail? 024 JER 015 019 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou shalt return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou shalt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return to thee; but return not thou to them. 024 JER 015 020 And I will make thee to this people a fortified brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 024 JER 015 021 And I will deliver thee from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee from the hand of the terrible. 024 JER 016 001 The word of the LORD came also to me, saying, 024 JER 016 002 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons nor daughters in this place. 024 JER 016 003 For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bore them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land; 024 JER 016 004 They shall die by grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as refuse upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 024 JER 016 005 For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies. 024 JER 016 006 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them: 024 JER 016 007 Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother. 024 JER 016 008 Also, thou shalt not go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. 024 JER 016 009 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. 024 JER 016 010 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say to thee, Why hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? 024 JER 016 011 Then shalt thou say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; 024 JER 016 012 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken to me: 024 JER 016 013 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not show you favour. 024 JER 016 014 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 024 JER 016 015 But, The LORD liveth, that brought the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers. 024 JER 016 016 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and afterwards will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. 024 JER 016 017 For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from my eyes. 024 JER 016 018 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled my inheritance with the dead bodies of their detestable and abominable things. 024 JER 016 019 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come to thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things in which there is no profit. 024 JER 016 020 Shall a man make gods to himself, and they are no gods? 024 JER 016 021 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. 024 JER 017 001 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; 024 JER 017 002 While their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. 024 JER 017 003 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders. 024 JER 017 004 And thou, even thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in my anger, which shall burn for ever. 024 JER 017 005 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 024 JER 017 006 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 024 JER 017 007 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 024 JER 017 008 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 024 JER 017 009 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 024 JER 017 010 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 024 JER 017 011 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 024 JER 017 012 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 024 JER 017 013 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 024 JER 017 014 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. 024 JER 017 015 Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. 024 JER 017 016 As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which was uttered by my lips was right before thee. 024 JER 017 017 Be not a terror to me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. 024 JER 017 018 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction. 024 JER 017 019 Thus said the LORD to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; 024 JER 017 020 And say to them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter by these gates: 024 JER 017 021 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; 024 JER 017 022 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. 024 JER 017 023 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. 024 JER 017 024 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work in it; 024 JER 017 025 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. 024 JER 017 026 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, to the house of the LORD. 024 JER 017 027 But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. 024 JER 018 001 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 018 002 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 024 JER 018 003 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 024 JER 018 004 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it. 024 JER 018 005 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 024 JER 018 006 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel. 024 JER 018 007 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 024 JER 018 008 If that nation, against which I have pronounced, shall turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them. 024 JER 018 009 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 024 JER 018 010 If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them. 024 JER 018 011 Now therefore come, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a plot against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 024 JER 018 012 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. 024 JER 018 013 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. 024 JER 018 014 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken? 024 JER 018 015 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; 024 JER 018 016 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shake his head. 024 JER 018 017 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. 024 JER 018 018 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. 024 JER 018 019 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me. 024 JER 018 020 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. 024 JER 018 021 Therefore deliver their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle. 024 JER 018 022 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. 024 JER 018 023 Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thy anger. 024 JER 019 001 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests; 024 JER 019 002 And go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entrance of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee, 024 JER 019 003 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. 024 JER 019 004 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; 024 JER 019 005 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind: 024 JER 019 006 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter. 024 JER 019 007 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 024 JER 019 008 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues. 024 JER 019 009 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress, with which their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall distress them. 024 JER 019 010 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee, 024 JER 019 011 And shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. 024 JER 019 012 Thus will I do to this place, saith the LORD, and to its inhabitants, and even make this city as Tophet: 024 JER 019 013 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods. 024 JER 019 014 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’S house; and said to all the people, 024 JER 019 015 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words. 024 JER 020 001 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. 024 JER 020 002 Then Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD. 024 JER 020 003 And it came to pass on the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib. 024 JER 020 004 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword. 024 JER 020 005 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all its labours, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. 024 JER 020 006 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies. 024 JER 020 007 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. 024 JER 020 008 For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily. 024 JER 020 009 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not refrain. 024 JER 020 010 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my friends watched for my fall, saying, Perhaps he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. 024 JER 020 011 But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. 024 JER 020 012 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to thee have I opened my cause. 024 JER 020 013 Sing to the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. 024 JER 020 014 Cursed be the day when I was born: let not the day when my mother bore me be blessed. 024 JER 020 015 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A son is born to thee; making him very glad. 024 JER 020 016 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noon; 024 JER 020 017 Because he slew me not in the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me. 024 JER 020 018 Why was I brought out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? 024 JER 021 001 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, 024 JER 021 002 Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; it may be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us. 024 JER 021 003 Then said Jeremiah to them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 024 JER 021 004 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, who besiege you outside the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city. 024 JER 021 005 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. 024 JER 021 006 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die by a great pestilence. 024 JER 021 007 And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy. 024 JER 021 008 And to this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death. 024 JER 021 009 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prize. 024 JER 021 010 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. 024 JER 021 011 And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 024 JER 021 012 O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is made desolate out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 024 JER 021 013 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; who say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations? 024 JER 021 014 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it shall devour all things on every side of it. 024 JER 022 001 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 024 JER 022 002 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter by these gates: 024 JER 022 003 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver him that is laid waste out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. 024 JER 022 004 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people. 024 JER 022 005 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation. 024 JER 022 006 For thus saith the LORD to the king’s house of Judah; Thou art Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited. 024 JER 022 007 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire. 024 JER 022 008 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Why hath the LORD done thus to this great city? 024 JER 022 009 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. 024 JER 022 010 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep bitterly for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. 024 JER 022 011 For thus saith the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place; He shall not return there any more: 024 JER 022 012 But he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more. 024 JER 022 013 Woe to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; 024 JER 022 014 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is panelled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. 024 JER 022 015 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him? 024 JER 022 016 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD. 024 JER 022 017 But thy eyes and thy heart are only for thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. 024 JER 022 018 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 024 JER 022 019 He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 024 JER 022 020 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passes: for all thy lovers are destroyed. 024 JER 022 021 I spoke to thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou didst obey not my voice. 024 JER 022 022 The wind shall eat up all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness. 024 JER 022 023 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail! 024 JER 022 024 As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee from there; 024 JER 022 025 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 024 JER 022 026 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. 024 JER 022 027 But to the land where they desire to return, there shall they not return. 024 JER 022 028 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel in which is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? 024 JER 022 029 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. 024 JER 022 030 Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. 024 JER 023 001 Woe be to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 002 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 003 And I will gather the remnant of my flock from all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 024 JER 023 004 And I will set shepherds over them who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 005 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth. 024 JER 023 006 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety: and this is his name by which he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 024 JER 023 007 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 024 JER 023 008 But, The LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries where I have driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. 024 JER 023 009 My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. 024 JER 023 010 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. 024 JER 023 011 For both prophet and priest are profane; even, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 012 Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery paths in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 013 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. 024 JER 023 014 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah. 024 JER 023 015 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land. 024 JER 023 016 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not from the mouth of the LORD. 024 JER 023 017 They say still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 024 JER 023 018 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? 024 JER 023 019 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 024 JER 023 020 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he shall have executed, and till he shall have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 024 JER 023 021 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 024 JER 023 022 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. 024 JER 023 023 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? 024 JER 023 024 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 025 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 024 JER 023 026 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 024 JER 023 027 Who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 024 JER 023 028 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 029 Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 024 JER 023 030 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 024 JER 023 031 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 024 JER 023 032 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their reckless boasting; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 033 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 034 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house. 024 JER 023 035 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? 024 JER 023 036 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. 024 JER 023 037 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken? 024 JER 023 038 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD; 024 JER 023 039 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: 024 JER 023 040 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. 024 JER 024 001 The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. 024 JER 024 002 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad. 024 JER 024 003 Then said the LORD to me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad. 024 JER 024 004 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 024 JER 024 005 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. 024 JER 024 006 For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 024 JER 024 007 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return to me with their whole heart. 024 JER 024 008 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: 024 JER 024 009 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. 024 JER 024 010 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers. 024 JER 025 001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; 024 JER 025 002 Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 024 JER 025 003 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. 024 JER 025 004 And the LORD hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 024 JER 025 005 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given to you and to your fathers for ever and ever: 024 JER 025 006 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm. 024 JER 025 007 Yet ye have not hearkened to me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own harm. 024 JER 025 008 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 024 JER 025 009 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations on every side, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an horror, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 024 JER 025 010 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. 024 JER 025 011 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 024 JER 025 012 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 024 JER 025 013 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 024 JER 025 014 For many nations and great kings shall be served by them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. 024 JER 025 015 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel to me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 024 JER 025 016 And they shall drink, and be moved, and go mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 024 JER 025 017 Then I took the cup at the LORD’S hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me: 024 JER 025 018 That is, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a desolation, an horror, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; 024 JER 025 019 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 024 JER 025 020 And all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, 024 JER 025 021 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 024 JER 025 022 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, 024 JER 025 023 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, 024 JER 025 024 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people that dwell in the desert, 024 JER 025 025 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 024 JER 025 026 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. 024 JER 025 027 Therefore thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunk, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 024 JER 025 028 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. 024 JER 025 029 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. 024 JER 025 030 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say to them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 024 JER 025 031 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. 024 JER 025 032 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised from the ends of the earth. 024 JER 025 033 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be refuse upon the ground. 024 JER 025 034 Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye chief of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 024 JER 025 035 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the chief of the flock to escape. 024 JER 025 036 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a wailing of the chief of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath laid waste their pasture. 024 JER 025 037 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 024 JER 025 038 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. 024 JER 026 001 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 026 002 Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them; diminish not a word: 024 JER 026 003 It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings. 024 JER 026 004 And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, 024 JER 026 005 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened; 024 JER 026 006 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. 024 JER 026 007 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD. 024 JER 026 008 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. 024 JER 026 009 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. 024 JER 026 010 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entrance of the new gate of the LORD’S house. 024 JER 026 011 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 024 JER 026 012 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. 024 JER 026 013 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 024 JER 026 014 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as it seemeth good and right to you. 024 JER 026 015 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears. 024 JER 026 016 Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God. 024 JER 026 017 Then arose certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, 024 JER 026 018 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. 024 JER 026 019 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear the LORD, and beseech the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls. 024 JER 026 020 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah: 024 JER 026 021 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt; 024 JER 026 022 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt. 024 JER 026 023 And they brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the burial place of the common people. 024 JER 026 024 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death. 024 JER 027 001 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 027 002 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, 024 JER 027 003 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah; 024 JER 027 004 And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters; 024 JER 027 005 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed right to me. 024 JER 027 006 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. 024 JER 027 007 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection. 024 JER 027 008 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. 024 JER 027 009 Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: 024 JER 027 010 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. 024 JER 027 011 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it. 024 JER 027 012 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. 024 JER 027 013 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 024 JER 027 014 Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you. 024 JER 027 015 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you. 024 JER 027 016 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you. 024 JER 027 017 Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste? 024 JER 027 018 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. 024 JER 027 019 For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that remain in this city, 024 JER 027 020 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; 024 JER 027 021 Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem; 024 JER 027 022 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place. 024 JER 028 001 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 024 JER 028 002 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 028 003 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: 024 JER 028 004 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 028 005 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD, 024 JER 028 006 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. 024 JER 028 007 Nevertheless now hear thou this word that I speak in thy ears, and in the ears of all the people; 024 JER 028 008 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 024 JER 028 009 The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. 024 JER 028 010 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it. 024 JER 028 011 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 024 JER 028 012 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 028 013 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 024 JER 028 014 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. 024 JER 028 015 Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 024 JER 028 016 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. 024 JER 028 017 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. 024 JER 029 001 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders who were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; 024 JER 029 002 ( After Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem; ) 024 JER 029 003 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ) saying, 024 JER 029 004 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon; 024 JER 029 005 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 024 JER 029 006 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. 024 JER 029 007 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the LORD for it: for in the peace of it ye shall have peace. 024 JER 029 008 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that are in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 024 JER 029 009 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 029 010 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years shall be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. 024 JER 029 011 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 024 JER 029 012 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken to you. 024 JER 029 013 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 024 JER 029 014 And I will be found by you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive. 024 JER 029 015 Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised up for us prophets in Babylon; 024 JER 029 016 Know that thus saith the LORD concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwelleth in this city, and concerning your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; 024 JER 029 017 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad. 024 JER 029 018 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an horror, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them: 024 JER 029 019 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD. 024 JER 029 020 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon: 024 JER 029 021 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; 024 JER 029 022 And concerning them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; 024 JER 029 023 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbour’s wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD. 024 JER 029 024 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 024 JER 029 025 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, 024 JER 029 026 The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks. 024 JER 029 027 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you? 024 JER 029 028 For therefore he sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 024 JER 029 029 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet. 024 JER 029 030 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 029 031 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because Shemaiah hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: 024 JER 029 032 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD. 024 JER 030 001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 030 002 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book. 024 JER 030 003 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. 024 JER 030 004 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 024 JER 030 005 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 024 JER 030 006 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 024 JER 030 007 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. 024 JER 030 008 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more bring him into subjection: 024 JER 030 009 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them. 024 JER 030 010 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and quiet, and none shall make him afraid. 024 JER 030 011 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. 024 JER 030 012 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. 024 JER 030 013 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. 024 JER 030 014 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thy iniquity; because thy sins were increased. 024 JER 030 015 Why criest thou over thy affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thy iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to thee. 024 JER 030 016 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thy adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 024 JER 030 017 For I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. 024 JER 030 018 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captives of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after its manner. 024 JER 030 019 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 024 JER 030 020 Their children also shall be as in former time, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 024 JER 030 021 And their nobles shall be from themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? saith the LORD. 024 JER 030 022 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 024 JER 030 023 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. 024 JER 030 024 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he hath performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. 024 JER 031 001 At the same time, saith the LORD, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. 024 JER 031 002 Thus saith the LORD, The people who were left by the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. 024 JER 031 003 The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. 024 JER 031 004 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. 024 JER 031 005 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. 024 JER 031 006 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God. 024 JER 031 007 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: proclaim ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 024 JER 031 008 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the ends of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return there. 024 JER 031 009 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, in which they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. 024 JER 031 010 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. 024 JER 031 011 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. 024 JER 031 012 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for grain, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. 024 JER 031 013 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. 024 JER 031 014 And I will abundantly satisfy the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. 024 JER 031 015 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 024 JER 031 016 Thus saith the LORD; Restrain thy voice from weeping, and thy eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. 024 JER 031 017 And there is hope in thy end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border. 024 JER 031 018 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bull unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 024 JER 031 019 Surely after I was turned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, and even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth. 024 JER 031 020 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart is troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. 024 JER 031 021 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thy heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. 024 JER 031 022 How long wilt thou wander about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall encompass a man. 024 JER 031 023 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captives; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, mountain of holiness. 024 JER 031 024 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers, and they that go forth with flocks. 024 JER 031 025 For I have abundantly satisfied the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. 024 JER 031 026 Upon this I awoke, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me. 024 JER 031 027 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. 024 JER 031 028 And it shall come to pass, that as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD. 024 JER 031 029 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. 024 JER 031 030 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 024 JER 031 031 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 024 JER 031 032 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was an husband to them, saith the LORD: 024 JER 031 033 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 024 JER 031 034 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 024 JER 031 035 Thus saith the LORD, who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who divideth the sea when its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: 024 JER 031 036 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. 024 JER 031 037 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. 024 JER 031 038 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner. 024 JER 031 039 And the measuring line shall yet go forth straight forward over the hill Gareb, and shall turn toward Goath. 024 JER 031 040 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever. 024 JER 032 001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 024 JER 032 002 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 024 JER 032 003 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 024 JER 032 004 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes; 024 JER 032 005 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper. 024 JER 032 006 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 024 JER 032 007 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thy uncle shall come to thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. 024 JER 032 008 So Hanameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. 024 JER 032 009 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. 024 JER 032 010 And I signed the deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. 024 JER 032 011 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open: 024 JER 032 012 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. 024 JER 032 013 And I charged Baruch before them, saying, 024 JER 032 014 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days. 024 JER 032 015 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. 024 JER 032 016 Now when I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying, 024 JER 032 017 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and outstretched arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: 024 JER 032 018 Thou showest lovingkindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, 024 JER 032 019 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thy eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: 024 JER 032 020 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day; 024 JER 032 021 And hast brought forth thy people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 024 JER 032 022 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; 024 JER 032 023 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou didst command them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: 024 JER 032 024 Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. 024 JER 032 025 And thou hast said to me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 024 JER 032 026 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 032 027 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? 024 JER 032 028 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it: 024 JER 032 029 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. 024 JER 032 030 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done evil only before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD. 024 JER 032 031 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face, 024 JER 032 032 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 024 JER 032 033 And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. 024 JER 032 034 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it. 024 JER 032 035 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. 024 JER 032 036 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; 024 JER 032 037 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety: 024 JER 032 038 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 024 JER 032 039 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: 024 JER 032 040 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. 024 JER 032 041 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. 024 JER 032 042 For thus saith the LORD; As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. 024 JER 032 043 And fields shall be bought in this land, of which ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 024 JER 032 044 Men shall buy fields for money, and sign deeds, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captives to return, saith the LORD. 024 JER 033 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 024 JER 033 002 Thus saith the LORD the maker of this, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 024 JER 033 003 Call to me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 024 JER 033 004 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; 024 JER 033 005 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. 024 JER 033 006 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 024 JER 033 007 And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 024 JER 033 008 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned, and by which they have transgressed against me. 024 JER 033 009 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do for them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure for it. 024 JER 033 010 Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, 024 JER 033 011 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captives of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD. 024 JER 033 012 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 024 JER 033 013 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 033 014 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 024 JER 033 015 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 024 JER 033 016 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is the name by which she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. 024 JER 033 017 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 024 JER 033 018 Neither shall the priests the Levites lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to offer sacrifice continually. 024 JER 033 019 And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 033 020 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season; 024 JER 033 021 Then also may my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 024 JER 033 022 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister to me. 024 JER 033 023 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 033 024 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 024 JER 033 025 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 024 JER 033 026 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captives to return, and have mercy on them. 024 JER 034 001 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying, 024 JER 034 002 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire: 024 JER 034 003 And thou shalt not escape from his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. 024 JER 034 004 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword: 024 JER 034 005 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they burn incense for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD. 024 JER 034 006 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 024 JER 034 007 When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah. 024 JER 034 008 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them; 024 JER 034 009 That every man should release his male servant, and every man his female servant, being a Hebrew man or woman; that none should retain them in service, that is, a Jew his brother. 024 JER 034 010 Now when all the princes, and all the people, who had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should release his male servants, and every one his female servants, that none should retain them in service any more, then they obeyed, and let them go. 024 JER 034 011 But afterwards they turned, and caused the male and female servants, whom they had released to return, and brought them into subjection for male and female servants. 024 JER 034 012 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 034 013 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying, 024 JER 034 014 At the end of seven years release ye every man his brother an Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not to me, neither inclined their ear. 024 JER 034 015 And ye had now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: 024 JER 034 016 But ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his male servant, and every man his female servant, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for male and female servants. 024 JER 034 017 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 024 JER 034 018 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it, 024 JER 034 019 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf; 024 JER 034 020 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. 024 JER 034 021 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you. 024 JER 034 022 Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant. 024 JER 035 001 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, 024 JER 035 002 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. 024 JER 035 003 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites; 024 JER 035 004 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, who was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door: 024 JER 035 005 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink ye wine. 024 JER 035 006 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever: 024 JER 035 007 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye are strangers. 024 JER 035 008 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; 024 JER 035 009 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 024 JER 035 010 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. 024 JER 035 011 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem. 024 JER 035 012 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 035 013 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD. 024 JER 035 014 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: however I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not to me. 024 JER 035 015 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me. 024 JER 035 016 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened to me: 024 JER 035 017 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered. 024 JER 035 018 And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he hath commanded you: 024 JER 035 019 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before me for ever. 024 JER 036 001 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 036 002 Take thee a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to thee, from the days of Josiah, even to this day. 024 JER 036 003 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. 024 JER 036 004 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken to him, upon a scroll of a book. 024 JER 036 005 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD: 024 JER 036 006 Therefore go thou, and read in the scroll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house upon the day of fasting: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities. 024 JER 036 007 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people. 024 JER 036 008 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD’S house. 024 JER 036 009 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. 024 JER 036 010 Then Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entrance of the new gate of the LORD’S house, in the ears of all the people. 024 JER 036 011 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD, 024 JER 036 012 Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. 024 JER 036 013 Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. 024 JER 036 014 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the scroll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them. 024 JER 036 015 And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. 024 JER 036 016 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words. 024 JER 036 017 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth? 024 JER 036 018 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. 024 JER 036 019 Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide thyself, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are. 024 JER 036 020 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king. 024 JER 036 021 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll: and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king. 024 JER 036 022 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 024 JER 036 023 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the scribe’s penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 024 JER 036 024 Yet they were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words. 024 JER 036 025 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll: but he would not hear them. 024 JER 036 026 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them. 024 JER 036 027 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 036 028 Take thee again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burned. 024 JER 036 029 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this scroll, saying, Why hast thou written in it, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and beast? 024 JER 036 030 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. 024 JER 036 031 And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not. 024 JER 036 032 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were besides added to them many like words. 024 JER 037 001 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. 024 JER 037 002 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, hearkened to the words of the LORD, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah. 024 JER 037 003 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to the LORD our God for us. 024 JER 037 004 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison. 024 JER 037 005 Then Pharaoh’s army had come from Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem. 024 JER 037 006 Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 037 007 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you to me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which hath come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land. 024 JER 037 008 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. 024 JER 037 009 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart. 024 JER 037 010 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire. 024 JER 037 011 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army, 024 JER 037 012 Then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself from there in the midst of the people. 024 JER 037 013 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. 024 JER 037 014 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. 024 JER 037 015 Therefore the princes were angry with Jeremiah, and beat him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. 024 JER 037 016 When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; 024 JER 037 017 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 037 018 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, How have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison? 024 JER 037 019 Where are now your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? 024 JER 037 020 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. 024 JER 037 021 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the baker’s street, until all the bread in the city should be consumed. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. 024 JER 038 001 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying, 024 JER 038 002 Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prize, and shall live. 024 JER 038 003 Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which shall take it. 024 JER 038 004 Therefore the princes said to the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the harm. 024 JER 038 005 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you. 024 JER 038 006 Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. 024 JER 038 007 Now when Ebedmelech the Cushite, one of the eunuchs who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin; 024 JER 038 008 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying, 024 JER 038 009 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is certain to die from hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city. 024 JER 038 010 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Cushite, saying, Take from here thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dieth. 024 JER 038 011 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there old clothes and old rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 024 JER 038 012 And Ebedmelech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, Put now these old clothes and old rags under thy arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so. 024 JER 038 013 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. 024 JER 038 014 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entrance that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me. 024 JER 038 015 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken to me? 024 JER 038 016 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life. 024 JER 038 017 Then said Jeremiah to Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house: 024 JER 038 018 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape from their hand. 024 JER 038 019 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. 024 JER 038 020 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak to thee: so it shall be well to thee, and thy soul shall live. 024 JER 038 021 But if thou shalt refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shown me: 024 JER 038 022 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back. 024 JER 038 023 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire. 024 JER 038 024 Then said Zedekiah to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 024 JER 038 025 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come to thee, and say to thee, Declare to us now what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said to thee: 024 JER 038 026 Then thou shalt say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there. 024 JER 038 027 Then came all the princes to Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived. 024 JER 038 028 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken. 024 JER 039 001 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. 024 JER 039 002 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. 024 JER 039 003 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 039 004 And it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain. 024 JER 039 005 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. 024 JER 039 006 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. 024 JER 039 007 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. 024 JER 039 008 And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. 024 JER 039 009 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained. 024 JER 039 010 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. 024 JER 039 011 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, 024 JER 039 012 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to thee. 024 JER 039 013 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes; 024 JER 039 014 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people. 024 JER 039 015 Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 024 JER 039 016 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Cushite, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. 024 JER 039 017 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. 024 JER 039 018 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prize to thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 040 001 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon. 024 JER 040 002 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place. 024 JER 040 003 Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you. 024 JER 040 004 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hand. If it seemeth good to thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to thee: but if it seemeth ill to thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: where it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, there go. 024 JER 040 005 Now while he had not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wherever it seemeth convenient to thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him provisions and a reward, and let him go. 024 JER 040 006 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land. 024 JER 040 007 Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon; 024 JER 040 008 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. 024 JER 040 009 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. 024 JER 040 010 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, who will come to us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken. 024 JER 040 011 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan; 024 JER 040 012 Even all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in abundance. 024 JER 040 013 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 024 JER 040 014 And said to him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 024 JER 040 015 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he slay thee, that all the Jews who are gathered to thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish? 024 JER 040 016 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael. 024 JER 041 001 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah. 024 JER 041 002 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. 024 JER 041 003 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war. 024 JER 041 004 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 024 JER 041 005 That there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD. 024 JER 041 006 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. 024 JER 041 007 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him. 024 JER 041 008 But ten men were found among them that said to Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he left them alone, and slew them not among their brethren. 024 JER 041 009 Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain. 024 JER 041 010 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites. 024 JER 041 011 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, 024 JER 041 012 Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon. 024 JER 041 013 Now it came to pass, that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad. 024 JER 041 014 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah. 024 JER 041 015 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites. 024 JER 041 016 Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon: 024 JER 041 017 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt, 024 JER 041 018 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land. 024 JER 042 001 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near, 024 JER 042 002 And said to Jeremiah the prophet, We beseech thee, let our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us to the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us: ) 024 JER 042 003 That the LORD thy God may show us the way in which we may walk, and the thing that we may do. 024 JER 042 004 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you. 024 JER 042 005 Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us. 024 JER 042 006 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God. 024 JER 042 007 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah. 024 JER 042 008 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, 024 JER 042 009 And said to them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him; 024 JER 042 010 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent of the evil that I have done to you. 024 JER 042 011 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. 024 JER 042 012 And I will show mercies to you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. 024 JER 042 013 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, 024 JER 042 014 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor hunger for bread; and there will we dwell: 024 JER 042 015 And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; 024 JER 042 016 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, of which ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. 024 JER 042 017 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. 024 JER 042 018 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As my anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an horror, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. 024 JER 042 019 The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day. 024 JER 042 020 For ye were hypocrites in your hearts, when ye sent me to the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it. 024 JER 042 021 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for which he hath sent me to you. 024 JER 042 022 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where ye desire to go and to sojourn. 024 JER 043 001 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words, 024 JER 043 002 Then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there: 024 JER 043 003 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon. 024 JER 043 004 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah. 024 JER 043 005 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that had returned from all nations, where they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah; 024 JER 043 006 Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 024 JER 043 007 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus they came even to Tahpanhes. 024 JER 043 008 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 024 JER 043 009 Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entrance of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; 024 JER 043 010 And say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 024 JER 043 011 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword. 024 JER 043 012 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from there in peace. 024 JER 043 013 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. 024 JER 044 001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, 024 JER 044 002 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth in them, 024 JER 044 003 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. 024 JER 044 004 Yet I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, O, do not this abominable thing that I hate. 024 JER 044 005 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods. 024 JER 044 006 Therefore my fury and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day. 024 JER 044 007 Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Why do ye commit this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain; 024 JER 044 008 In that ye provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where ye are gone to dwell, that ye may cut yourselves off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? 024 JER 044 009 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem? 024 JER 044 010 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers. 024 JER 044 011 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 024 JER 044 012 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an horror, and a curse, and a reproach. 024 JER 044 013 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: 024 JER 044 014 So that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, where they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape. 024 JER 044 015 Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 044 016 As for the word that thou hast spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken to thee. 024 JER 044 017 But we will certainly do whatever thing proceedeth from our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil. 024 JER 044 018 But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. 024 JER 044 019 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make for her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands? 024 JER 044 020 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying, 024 JER 044 021 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? 024 JER 044 022 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an horror, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. 024 JER 044 023 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil hath happened to you, as at this day. 024 JER 044 024 Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: 024 JER 044 025 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. 024 JER 044 026 Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth. 024 JER 044 027 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there shall be an end of them. 024 JER 044 028 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs. 024 JER 044 029 And this shall be a sign to you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil: 024 JER 044 030 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life. 024 JER 045 001 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, 024 JER 045 002 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, to thee, O Baruch; 024 JER 045 003 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 024 JER 045 004 Thus shalt thou say to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 024 JER 045 005 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give to thee for a prize in all places where thou goest. 024 JER 046 001 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles; 024 JER 046 002 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah. 024 JER 046 003 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle. 024 JER 046 004 Harness the horses; and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; polish the spears, and put on the coats of mail. 024 JER 046 005 Why have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and look not back: for fear was on all sides, saith the LORD. 024 JER 046 006 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates. 024 JER 046 007 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers? 024 JER 046 008 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and its inhabitants. 024 JER 046 009 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Cushites and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow. 024 JER 046 010 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satisfied and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. 024 JER 046 011 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. 024 JER 046 012 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they have fallen both together. 024 JER 046 013 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt. 024 JER 046 014 Declare ye in Egypt, and proclaim in Migdol, and proclaim in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour around thee. 024 JER 046 015 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them. 024 JER 046 016 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. 024 JER 046 017 They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed. 024 JER 046 018 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 024 JER 046 019 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 024 JER 046 020 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north. 024 JER 046 021 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bulls; for they also have turned back, and have fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity had come upon them, and the time of their punishment. 024 JER 046 022 Its voice shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood. 024 JER 046 023 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. 024 JER 046 024 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north. 024 JER 046 025 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him: 024 JER 046 026 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD. 024 JER 046 027 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 024 JER 046 028 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. 024 JER 047 001 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza. 024 JER 047 002 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is in it; the city, and them that dwell in it: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail. 024 JER 047 003 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands; 024 JER 047 004 Because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor. 024 JER 047 005 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 024 JER 047 006 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be before thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 024 JER 047 007 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it. 024 JER 048 001 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe to Nebo! for it is laid waste: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed. 024 JER 048 002 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. 024 JER 048 003 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, violence and great destruction. 024 JER 048 004 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. 024 JER 048 005 For in the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 024 JER 048 006 Flee, save your lives, and be like the naked tree in the wilderness. 024 JER 048 007 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. 024 JER 048 008 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken. 024 JER 048 009 Give wings to Moab, that it may flee and get away: for its cities shall be desolate, without any to dwell in them. 024 JER 048 010 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. 024 JER 048 011 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. 024 JER 048 012 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send to him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles. 024 JER 048 013 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. 024 JER 048 014 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war? 024 JER 048 015 Moab is laid waste, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 024 JER 048 016 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast. 024 JER 048 017 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod! 024 JER 048 018 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds. 024 JER 048 019 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done? 024 JER 048 020 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste, 024 JER 048 021 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, 024 JER 048 022 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim, 024 JER 048 023 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, 024 JER 048 024 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 024 JER 048 025 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. 024 JER 048 026 Make ye him drunk: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. 024 JER 048 027 For was not Israel a derision to thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou hast spoken of him, thou didst leap for joy. 024 JER 048 028 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth. 024 JER 048 029 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud ) his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. 024 JER 048 030 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it. 024 JER 048 031 Therefore will I wail for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; my heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres. 024 JER 048 032 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants have gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler hath fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage. 024 JER 048 033 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting. 024 JER 048 034 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, and even to Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. 024 JER 048 035 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 024 JER 048 036 Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten have perished. 024 JER 048 037 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 024 JER 048 038 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets: for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure, saith the LORD. 024 JER 048 039 They shall wail, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. 024 JER 048 040 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. 024 JER 048 041 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 024 JER 048 042 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD. 024 JER 048 043 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD. 024 JER 048 044 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their punishment, saith the LORD. 024 JER 048 045 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 024 JER 048 046 Woe be to thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. 024 JER 048 047 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab. 024 JER 049 001 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities? 024 JER 049 002 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir to them that were his heirs, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 003 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird yourselves with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together. 024 JER 049 004 Why gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me? 024 JER 049 005 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that are about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth. 024 JER 049 006 And afterward I will bring again the captives of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 007 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? hath counsel perished from the prudent? hath their wisdom vanished? 024 JER 049 008 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will punish him. 024 JER 049 009 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough. 024 JER 049 010 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not. 024 JER 049 011 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. 024 JER 049 012 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it. 024 JER 049 013 For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes. 024 JER 049 014 I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent to the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle. 024 JER 049 015 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men. 024 JER 049 016 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from there, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 017 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues. 024 JER 049 018 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbour cities, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it. 024 JER 049 019 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? 024 JER 049 020 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them. 024 JER 049 021 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise of it was heard in the Red sea. 024 JER 049 022 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 024 JER 049 023 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. 024 JER 049 024 Damascus hath become feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. 024 JER 049 025 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy! 024 JER 049 026 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts. 024 JER 049 027 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad. 024 JER 049 028 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and lay waste the men of the east. 024 JER 049 029 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Fear is on every side. 024 JER 049 030 Flee, go far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you. 024 JER 049 031 Arise, go up to the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone. 024 JER 049 032 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides of it, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 033 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it. 024 JER 049 034 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 024 JER 049 035 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. 024 JER 049 036 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 024 JER 049 037 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: 024 JER 049 038 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 039 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captives of Elam, saith the LORD. 024 JER 050 001 The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet. 024 JER 050 002 Declare ye among the nations, and proclaim, and set up a standard; proclaim, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces. 024 JER 050 003 For out of the north there cometh a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast. 024 JER 050 004 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. 024 JER 050 005 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces toward it, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. 024 JER 050 006 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. 024 JER 050 007 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers. 024 JER 050 008 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth from the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks. 024 JER 050 009 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. 024 JER 050 010 And Chaldea shall be a prey: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD. 024 JER 050 011 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of my heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; 024 JER 050 012 Your mother shall be greatly confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. 024 JER 050 013 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. 024 JER 050 014 Put yourselves in array against Babylon on every side: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD. 024 JER 050 015 Shout against her on every side: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do to her. 024 JER 050 016 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land. 024 JER 050 017 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. 024 JER 050 018 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria. 024 JER 050 019 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead. 024 JER 050 020 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve. 024 JER 050 021 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee. 024 JER 050 022 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. 024 JER 050 023 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! 024 JER 050 024 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. 024 JER 050 025 The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. 024 JER 050 026 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left. 024 JER 050 027 Slay all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their punishment. 024 JER 050 028 The voice of them that flee and escape from the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. 024 JER 050 029 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, encamp against it on every side; let none of them escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do to her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. 024 JER 050 030 Therefore her young men shall fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD. 024 JER 050 031 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will punish thee. 024 JER 050 032 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all around him. 024 JER 050 033 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go. 024 JER 050 034 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. 024 JER 050 035 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. 024 JER 050 036 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall become fools: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. 024 JER 050 037 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mixed people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasuries; and they shall be robbed. 024 JER 050 038 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad over their idols. 024 JER 050 039 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the isles shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. 024 JER 050 040 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbour cities, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell in it. 024 JER 050 041 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the ends of the earth. 024 JER 050 042 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. 024 JER 050 043 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands became feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 024 JER 050 044 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? 024 JER 050 045 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 024 JER 050 046 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations. 024 JER 051 001 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; 024 JER 051 002 And will send to Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her on all sides. 024 JER 051 003 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host. 024 JER 051 004 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets. 024 JER 051 005 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah by his God, by the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 024 JER 051 006 Flee from the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render to her a recompence. 024 JER 051 007 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 024 JER 051 008 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, it may be she may be healed. 024 JER 051 009 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth to heaven, and is lifted even to the skies. 024 JER 051 010 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. 024 JER 051 011 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple. 024 JER 051 012 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon. 024 JER 051 013 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thy end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. 024 JER 051 014 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall raise a shout against thee. 024 JER 051 015 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. 024 JER 051 016 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries. 024 JER 051 017 Every man is stupid by his knowledge; every goldsmith is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 024 JER 051 018 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their punishment they shall perish. 024 JER 051 019 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the one who formed of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. 024 JER 051 020 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 024 JER 051 021 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and its rider; 024 JER 051 022 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 024 JER 051 023 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 024 JER 051 024 And I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD. 024 JER 051 025 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 024 JER 051 026 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. 024 JER 051 027 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers. 024 JER 051 028 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of his dominion. 024 JER 051 029 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 024 JER 051 030 The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting, they have remained in their strong holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken. 024 JER 051 031 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, 024 JER 051 032 And that the fords are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are terrified. 024 JER 051 033 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. 024 JER 051 034 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicacies, he hath cast me out. 024 JER 051 035 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. 024 JER 051 036 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. 024 JER 051 037 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an horror, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. 024 JER 051 038 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps. 024 JER 051 039 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. 024 JER 051 040 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats. 024 JER 051 041 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an horror among the nations! 024 JER 051 042 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves. 024 JER 051 043 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land in which no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass by it. 024 JER 051 044 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed: and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: even the wall of Babylon shall fall. 024 JER 051 045 My people, depart from the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. 024 JER 051 046 And lest your heart should faint, and ye should fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 024 JER 051 047 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. 024 JER 051 048 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is in them, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the LORD. 024 JER 051 049 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 024 JER 051 050 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 024 JER 051 051 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for foreigners are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house. 024 JER 051 052 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will execute judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 024 JER 051 053 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come to her, saith the LORD. 024 JER 051 054 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: 024 JER 051 055 Because the LORD hath laid waste Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: 024 JER 051 056 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely repay. 024 JER 051 057 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 024 JER 051 058 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the people in the fire, and they shall be weary. 024 JER 051 059 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince. 024 JER 051 060 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 024 JER 051 061 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou shalt come to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; 024 JER 051 062 Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. 024 JER 051 063 And it shall be, when thou hast finished reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 024 JER 051 064 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah. 024 JER 052 001 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 024 JER 052 002 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 024 JER 052 003 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 024 JER 052 004 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, and built forts against it on every side. 024 JER 052 005 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 024 JER 052 006 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was great in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. 024 JER 052 007 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth from the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city on all sides: ) and they went by the way of the plain. 024 JER 052 008 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 024 JER 052 009 Then they took the king, and carried him to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him. 024 JER 052 010 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. 024 JER 052 011 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. 024 JER 052 012 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, 024 JER 052 013 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, he burned with fire: 024 JER 052 014 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem on every side. 024 JER 052 015 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the rest of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. 024 JER 052 016 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for farmers. 024 JER 052 017 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon. 024 JER 052 018 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass by which they ministered, they took away. 024 JER 052 019 And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the guard took away. 024 JER 052 020 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. 024 JER 052 021 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a band of twelve cubits surrounded it; and the thickness of it was four fingers: it was hollow. 024 JER 052 022 And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capitals around, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like these. 024 JER 052 023 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred on all sides. 024 JER 052 024 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 024 JER 052 025 He took also out of the city an eunuch, who had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, who were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city. 024 JER 052 026 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. 024 JER 052 027 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land. 024 JER 052 028 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty: 024 JER 052 029 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty and two persons: 024 JER 052 030 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred. 024 JER 052 031 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison, 024 JER 052 032 And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon, 024 JER 052 033 And changed his prison garments: and he continually ate bread before him all the days of his life. 024 JER 052 034 And for his food, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life. # # BOOK 025 LAM Lamentations Lamentations 025 LAM 001 001 How doth the city sit desolate, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become a forced labourer! 025 LAM 001 002 She weepeth bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. 025 LAM 001 003 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her in the midst of distress. 025 LAM 001 004 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. 025 LAM 001 005 Her adversaries are the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy. 025 LAM 001 006 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty hath departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. 025 LAM 001 007 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none helped her: the adversaries saw her, and mocked at her sabbaths. 025 LAM 001 008 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. 025 LAM 001 009 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her latter end; therefore she hath been marvellously abased: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself. 025 LAM 001 010 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation. 025 LAM 001 011 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile. 025 LAM 001 012 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which hath fallen upon me, which the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 025 LAM 001 013 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. 025 LAM 001 014 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are knit together, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise. 025 LAM 001 015 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress. 025 LAM 001 016 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. 025 LAM 001 017 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be around him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. 025 LAM 001 018 The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. 025 LAM 001 019 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their food to relieve their souls. 025 LAM 001 020 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my heart is troubled; my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death. 025 LAM 001 021 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like me. 025 LAM 001 022 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do to them, as thou hast done to me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint. 025 LAM 002 001 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger! 025 LAM 002 002 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and its princes. 025 LAM 002 003 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth on every side. 025 LAM 002 004 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire. 025 LAM 002 005 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation. 025 LAM 002 006 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and in the indignation of his anger hath despised the king and the priest. 025 LAM 002 007 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast. 025 LAM 002 008 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together. 025 LAM 002 009 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD. 025 LAM 002 010 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. 025 LAM 002 011 My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. 025 LAM 002 012 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom. 025 LAM 002 013 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee? 025 LAM 002 014 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not revealed thy iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. 025 LAM 002 015 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and shake their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? 025 LAM 002 016 All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. 025 LAM 002 017 The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thy enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thy adversaries. 025 LAM 002 018 Their heart cried to the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thy eye cease. 025 LAM 002 019 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street. 025 LAM 002 020 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? 025 LAM 002 021 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thy anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied. 025 LAM 002 022 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors on every side, so that in the day of the LORD’S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath my enemy consumed. 025 LAM 003 001 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 025 LAM 003 002 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 025 LAM 003 003 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. 025 LAM 003 004 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. 025 LAM 003 005 He hath besieged me, and surrounded me with gall and travail. 025 LAM 003 006 He hath set me in dark places, as they that are dead of old. 025 LAM 003 007 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. 025 LAM 003 008 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. 025 LAM 003 009 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. 025 LAM 003 010 He was to me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. 025 LAM 003 011 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. 025 LAM 003 012 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 025 LAM 003 013 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 025 LAM 003 014 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 025 LAM 003 015 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunk with wormwood. 025 LAM 003 016 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. 025 LAM 003 017 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgot prosperity. 025 LAM 003 018 And I said, My strength and my hope hath perished from the LORD: 025 LAM 003 019 Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 025 LAM 003 020 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. 025 LAM 003 021 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 025 LAM 003 022 It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 025 LAM 003 023 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 025 LAM 003 024 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 025 LAM 003 025 The LORD is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 025 LAM 003 026 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. 025 LAM 003 027 It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke in his youth. 025 LAM 003 028 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. 025 LAM 003 029 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if there may be hope. 025 LAM 003 030 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. 025 LAM 003 031 For the Lord will not cast off for ever: 025 LAM 003 032 But though he causeth grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. 025 LAM 003 033 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. 025 LAM 003 034 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, 025 LAM 003 035 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, 025 LAM 003 036 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not. 025 LAM 003 037 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? 025 LAM 003 038 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? 025 LAM 003 039 Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? 025 LAM 003 040 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 025 LAM 003 041 Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens. 025 LAM 003 042 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. 025 LAM 003 043 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. 025 LAM 003 044 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. 025 LAM 003 045 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. 025 LAM 003 046 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. 025 LAM 003 047 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. 025 LAM 003 048 My eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. 025 LAM 003 049 My eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission, 025 LAM 003 050 Till the LORD shall look down, and behold from heaven. 025 LAM 003 051 My eye affecteth my heart because of all the daughters of my city. 025 LAM 003 052 My enemies chased me hard, like a bird, without cause. 025 LAM 003 053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me. 025 LAM 003 054 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off. 025 LAM 003 055 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. 025 LAM 003 056 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thy ear at my breathing, at my cry. 025 LAM 003 057 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. 025 LAM 003 058 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. 025 LAM 003 059 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. 025 LAM 003 060 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. 025 LAM 003 061 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; 025 LAM 003 062 The lips of those that rose up against me, and they plot against me all the day. 025 LAM 003 063 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music. 025 LAM 003 064 Render to them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. 025 LAM 003 065 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse to them. 025 LAM 003 066 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD. 025 LAM 004 001 How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street. 025 LAM 004 002 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! 025 LAM 004 003 Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they nurse their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness. 025 LAM 004 004 The tongue of the nursing child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it to them. 025 LAM 004 005 They that fed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. 025 LAM 004 006 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, with no hands laid on her. 025 LAM 004 007 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire: 025 LAM 004 008 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick. 025 LAM 004 009 They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for lack of the fruits of the field. 025 LAM 004 010 The hands of the tenderhearted women have boiled their own children: they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people. 025 LAM 004 011 The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured its foundations. 025 LAM 004 012 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem. 025 LAM 004 013 For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her, 025 LAM 004 014 They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. 025 LAM 004 015 They cried to them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there. 025 LAM 004 016 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no longer regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders. 025 LAM 004 017 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us. 025 LAM 004 018 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. 025 LAM 004 019 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness. 025 LAM 004 020 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen. 025 LAM 004 021 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through to thee: thou shalt be drunk, and shalt make thyself naked. 025 LAM 004 022 The punishment of thy iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will disclose thy sins. 025 LAM 005 001 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 025 LAM 005 002 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. 025 LAM 005 003 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 025 LAM 005 004 We drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us. 025 LAM 005 005 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 025 LAM 005 006 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 025 LAM 005 007 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. 025 LAM 005 008 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 025 LAM 005 009 We got our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 025 LAM 005 010 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. 025 LAM 005 011 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. 025 LAM 005 012 Princes are hanged by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. 025 LAM 005 013 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. 025 LAM 005 014 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music. 025 LAM 005 015 The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 025 LAM 005 016 The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, that we have sinned! 025 LAM 005 017 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. 025 LAM 005 018 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 025 LAM 005 019 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. 025 LAM 005 020 Why dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? 025 LAM 005 021 Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 025 LAM 005 022 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very angry with us. # # BOOK 026 EZE Ezekiel Ezekiel 026 EZE 001 001 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 026 EZE 001 002 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, 026 EZE 001 003 The word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him. 026 EZE 001 004 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and from the midst of it as the colour of amber, from the midst of the fire. 026 EZE 001 005 Also from the midst of it came the likeness of four living beings. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 026 EZE 001 006 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 026 EZE 001 007 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 026 EZE 001 008 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 026 EZE 001 009 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 026 EZE 001 010 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 026 EZE 001 011 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 026 EZE 001 012 And they went every one straight forward: wherever the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. 026 EZE 001 013 As for the likeness of the living beings, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 026 EZE 001 014 And the living beings ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 026 EZE 001 015 Now as I beheld the living beings, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living beings, with his four faces. 026 EZE 001 016 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 026 EZE 001 017 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. 026 EZE 001 018 As for their rims, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rims were full of eyes all around them four. 026 EZE 001 019 And when the living beings went, the wheels went by them: and when the living beings were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 026 EZE 001 020 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went, there was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up together with them: for the spirit of the living being was in the wheels. 026 EZE 001 021 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them: for the spirit of the living being was in the wheels. 026 EZE 001 022 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living being was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. 026 EZE 001 023 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 026 EZE 001 024 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. 026 EZE 001 025 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 026 EZE 001 026 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 026 EZE 001 027 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire around within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness on all sides. 026 EZE 001 028 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one speaking. 026 EZE 002 001 And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee. 026 EZE 002 002 And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me. 026 EZE 002 003 And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day. 026 EZE 002 004 For they are impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 002 005 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. 026 EZE 002 006 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 002 007 And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 026 EZE 002 008 But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee. 026 EZE 002 009 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, lo, a scroll was in it; 026 EZE 002 010 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe. 026 EZE 003 001 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this scroll, and go speak to the house of Israel. 026 EZE 003 002 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that scroll. 026 EZE 003 003 And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy stomach to eat, and fill thy body with this scroll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. 026 EZE 003 004 And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them. 026 EZE 003 005 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; 026 EZE 003 006 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee. 026 EZE 003 007 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. 026 EZE 003 008 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. 026 EZE 003 009 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 003 010 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears. 026 EZE 003 011 And depart, go to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear. 026 EZE 003 012 Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place. 026 EZE 003 013 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living beings that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, and the noise of a great rushing. 026 EZE 003 014 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. 026 EZE 003 015 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there overwhelmed among them seven days. 026 EZE 003 016 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 003 017 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 026 EZE 003 018 When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 026 EZE 003 019 Yet if thou shalt warn the wicked, and he will not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 026 EZE 003 020 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 026 EZE 003 021 Nevertheless if thou shalt warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. 026 EZE 003 022 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 026 EZE 003 023 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. 026 EZE 003 024 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house. 026 EZE 003 025 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put cords upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them: 026 EZE 003 026 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 003 027 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 004 001 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: 026 EZE 004 002 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mound against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it on every side. 026 EZE 004 003 Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel. 026 EZE 004 004 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. 026 EZE 004 005 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 026 EZE 004 006 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. 026 EZE 004 007 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. 026 EZE 004 008 And, behold, I will lay cords upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. 026 EZE 004 009 Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of them, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat of it. 026 EZE 004 010 And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 026 EZE 004 011 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. 026 EZE 004 012 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 026 EZE 004 013 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them. 026 EZE 004 014 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath abominable flesh come into my mouth. 026 EZE 004 015 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them. 026 EZE 004 016 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and in horror: 026 EZE 004 017 That they may lack bread and water, and be appalled one with another, and pine away for their iniquity. 026 EZE 005 001 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: then take to thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair. 026 EZE 005 002 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a sword: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. 026 EZE 005 003 Thou shalt also take of them a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. 026 EZE 005 004 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from which a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel. 026 EZE 005 005 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are around her. 026 EZE 005 006 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are around her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. 026 EZE 005 007 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are around you; 026 EZE 005 008 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. 026 EZE 005 009 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do any more, because of all thy abominations. 026 EZE 005 010 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds. 026 EZE 005 011 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thy abominations, therefore I will also diminish thee; neither shall my eye spare, neither will I have any pity. 026 EZE 005 012 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword around thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. 026 EZE 005 013 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them. 026 EZE 005 014 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are around thee, in the sight of all that pass by. 026 EZE 005 015 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an horror to the nations that are around thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 005 016 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: 026 EZE 005 017 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 006 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 006 002 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, 026 EZE 006 003 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. 026 EZE 006 004 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. 026 EZE 006 005 And I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones about your altars. 026 EZE 006 006 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. 026 EZE 006 007 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 006 008 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. 026 EZE 006 009 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their adulterous heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the harlot with their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 026 EZE 006 010 And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them. 026 EZE 006 011 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 026 EZE 006 012 He that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. 026 EZE 006 013 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols all around their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they offered sweet savour to all their idols. 026 EZE 006 014 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 007 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 007 002 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD to the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. 026 EZE 007 003 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thy abominations. 026 EZE 007 004 And my eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 007 005 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 026 EZE 007 006 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 026 EZE 007 007 The morning is come upon thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the joyful shouting upon the mountains. 026 EZE 007 008 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish my anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thy abominations. 026 EZE 007 009 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thy abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth. 026 EZE 007 010 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 026 EZE 007 011 Violence hath risen into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them. 026 EZE 007 012 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all their multitude. 026 EZE 007 013 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is concerning their whole multitude, who shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. 026 EZE 007 014 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all their multitude. 026 EZE 007 015 The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. 026 EZE 007 016 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. 026 EZE 007 017 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 026 EZE 007 018 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. 026 EZE 007 019 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their stomachs: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. 026 EZE 007 020 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things in it: therefore have I set it far from them. 026 EZE 007 021 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it. 026 EZE 007 022 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. 026 EZE 007 023 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 026 EZE 007 024 Therefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. 026 EZE 007 025 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. 026 EZE 007 026 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. 026 EZE 007 027 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 008 001 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. 026 EZE 008 002 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. 026 EZE 008 003 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. 026 EZE 008 004 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. 026 EZE 008 005 Then said he to me, Son of man, lift up thy eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entrance. 026 EZE 008 006 He said furthermore to me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should withdraw from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. 026 EZE 008 007 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 026 EZE 008 008 Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dug in the wall, behold a door. 026 EZE 008 009 And he said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 026 EZE 008 010 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around upon the wall. 026 EZE 008 011 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 026 EZE 008 012 Then said he to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. 026 EZE 008 013 He said also to me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 026 EZE 008 014 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 026 EZE 008 015 Then said he to me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. 026 EZE 008 016 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. 026 EZE 008 017 Then he said to me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. 026 EZE 008 018 Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them. 026 EZE 009 001 He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 026 EZE 009 002 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. 026 EZE 009 003 And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, on which he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side; 026 EZE 009 004 And the LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst of it. 026 EZE 009 005 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 026 EZE 009 006 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the elders who were before the house. 026 EZE 009 007 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city. 026 EZE 009 008 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy the whole remnant of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? 026 EZE 009 009 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. 026 EZE 009 010 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. 026 EZE 009 011 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. 026 EZE 010 001 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 026 EZE 010 002 And he spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thy hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he entered in my sight. 026 EZE 010 003 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 026 EZE 010 004 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’S glory. 026 EZE 010 005 And the sound of the cherubim’s wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 026 EZE 010 006 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels. 026 EZE 010 007 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took of it, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out. 026 EZE 010 008 And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings. 026 EZE 010 009 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. 026 EZE 010 010 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. 026 EZE 010 011 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. 026 EZE 010 012 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes on every side, even the wheels that they four had. 026 EZE 010 013 As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, O wheel. 026 EZE 010 014 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 026 EZE 010 015 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living being that I saw by the river of Chebar. 026 EZE 010 016 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. 026 EZE 010 017 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living being was in them. 026 EZE 010 018 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 026 EZE 010 019 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 026 EZE 010 020 This is the living being that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubim. 026 EZE 010 021 Every one had four faces each, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 026 EZE 010 022 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward. 026 EZE 011 001 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 026 EZE 011 002 Then said he to me, Son of man, these are the men that plot mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city: 026 EZE 011 003 Who say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh. 026 EZE 011 004 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. 026 EZE 011 005 And the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said to me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. 026 EZE 011 006 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled its streets with the slain. 026 EZE 011 007 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it. 026 EZE 011 008 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 011 009 And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 026 EZE 011 010 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 011 011 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it; but I will judge you in the border of Israel: 026 EZE 011 012 And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are around you. 026 EZE 011 013 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel? 026 EZE 011 014 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 011 015 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the LORD: to us is this land given in possession. 026 EZE 011 016 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. 026 EZE 011 017 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. 026 EZE 011 018 And they shall come there, and they shall take away from there all its detestable things and all its abominations. 026 EZE 011 019 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: 026 EZE 011 020 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 026 EZE 011 021 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 011 022 Then the cherubim raised their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 026 EZE 011 023 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city. 026 EZE 011 024 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. 026 EZE 011 025 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me. 026 EZE 012 001 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying, 026 EZE 012 002 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 012 003 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee thy baggage for captivity, and move by day in their sight; and thou shalt move from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 012 004 Then shalt thou bring forth thy baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for captivity: and thou shalt go forth at evening in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity. 026 EZE 012 005 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry them out through it. 026 EZE 012 006 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou mayest not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel. 026 EZE 012 007 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bore it upon my shoulder in their sight. 026 EZE 012 008 And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying, 026 EZE 012 009 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What doest thou? 026 EZE 012 010 Say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them. 026 EZE 012 011 Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall move and go into captivity. 026 EZE 012 012 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it: he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with his eyes. 026 EZE 012 013 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there. 026 EZE 012 014 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them. 026 EZE 012 015 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. 026 EZE 012 016 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 012 017 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 012 018 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and anxious care; 026 EZE 012 019 And say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with anxious care, and drink their water with horror, that her land may be desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all them that dwell in it. 026 EZE 012 020 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 012 021 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 012 022 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 026 EZE 012 023 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. 026 EZE 012 024 For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. 026 EZE 012 025 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 012 026 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 012 027 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are distant. 026 EZE 012 028 Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be further deferred, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 013 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 013 002 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 026 EZE 013 003 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 026 EZE 013 004 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 026 EZE 013 005 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. 026 EZE 013 006 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. 026 EZE 013 007 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, though ye say, The LORD saith it; although I have not spoken? 026 EZE 013 008 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 013 009 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 013 010 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar: 026 EZE 013 011 Say to them who daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. 026 EZE 013 012 Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the daubing with which ye have daubed it? 026 EZE 013 013 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it. 026 EZE 013 014 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 013 015 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar, and will say to you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 026 EZE 013 016 That is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 013 017 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 026 EZE 013 018 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew magic charms on all wrists, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come to you? 026 EZE 013 019 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? 026 EZE 013 020 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your magic charms, by which ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 026 EZE 013 021 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 013 022 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: 026 EZE 013 023 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 014 001 Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me. 026 EZE 014 002 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 014 003 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? 026 EZE 014 004 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; 026 EZE 014 005 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. 026 EZE 014 006 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. 026 EZE 014 007 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the foreigner that sojourneth in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: 026 EZE 014 008 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 014 009 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. 026 EZE 014 010 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh to him; 026 EZE 014 011 That the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 014 012 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 014 013 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break the staff of its bread, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it: 026 EZE 014 014 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver their own souls only by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 014 015 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they lay it waste, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: 026 EZE 014 016 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate. 026 EZE 014 017 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: 026 EZE 014 018 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves. 026 EZE 014 019 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: 026 EZE 014 020 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall deliver their own souls only by their righteousness. 026 EZE 014 021 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four grievous judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast? 026 EZE 014 022 Yet, behold, in it shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. 026 EZE 014 023 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 015 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 015 002 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest? 026 EZE 015 003 Shall wood be taken of it to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it? 026 EZE 015 004 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the middle of it is burned. Is it fit for any work? 026 EZE 015 005 Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work: how much less then shall it be fit for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned? 026 EZE 015 006 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 026 EZE 015 007 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them. 026 EZE 015 008 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 016 001 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 016 002 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, 026 EZE 016 003 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. 026 EZE 016 004 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 026 EZE 016 005 No eye pitied thee, to do any of these to thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. 026 EZE 016 006 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thy own blood, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live. 026 EZE 016 007 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and become great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thy hair is grown, though thou wast naked and bare. 026 EZE 016 008 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. 026 EZE 016 009 Then I washed thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. 026 EZE 016 010 I clothed thee also with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. 026 EZE 016 011 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. 026 EZE 016 012 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. 026 EZE 016 013 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. 026 EZE 016 014 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 016 015 But thou didst trust in thy own beauty, and didst play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy harlotries on every one that passed by; his it was. 026 EZE 016 016 And of thy garments thou didst take, and didst deck thy high places with various colours, and didst play the harlot upon them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. 026 EZE 016 017 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and hast made to thyself images of men, and hast committed harlotry with them, 026 EZE 016 018 And hast taken thy embroidered garments, and didst cover them: and thou hast set my oil and my incense before them. 026 EZE 016 019 My food also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed thee, thou hast even set before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 016 020 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me, and these hast thou sacrificed to them to be devoured. Is this of thy harlotries a small matter, 026 EZE 016 021 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? 026 EZE 016 022 And in all thy abominations and thy harlotries thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood. 026 EZE 016 023 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, woe, ( woe to thee! saith the Lord GOD; ) 026 EZE 016 024 That thou hast also built to thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. 026 EZE 016 025 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast offered thyself to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy harlotries. 026 EZE 016 026 Thou hast also committed harlotry with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy harlotry, to provoke me to anger. 026 EZE 016 027 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thy ordinary food, and delivered thee to the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way. 026 EZE 016 028 Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast not satisfied; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. 026 EZE 016 029 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy harlotry in the land of Canaan to Chaldea; and yet with this thou wast not satisfied. 026 EZE 016 030 How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious harlot; 026 EZE 016 031 In that thou buildest thy eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; 026 EZE 016 032 But as a wife that committeth adultery, who taketh strangers instead of her husband! 026 EZE 016 033 They give gifts to all harlots: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come to thee on every side for thy harlotry. 026 EZE 016 034 And thou art the opposite from other women in thy harlotries, though none followeth thee to commit harlotries: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given to thee, therefore thou art the opposite. 026 EZE 016 035 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: 026 EZE 016 036 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy harlotries with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give to them; 026 EZE 016 037 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them on every side against thee, and will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness. 026 EZE 016 038 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 026 EZE 016 039 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. 026 EZE 016 040 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 026 EZE 016 041 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. 026 EZE 016 042 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry. 026 EZE 016 043 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thy abominations. 026 EZE 016 044 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. 026 EZE 016 045 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. 026 EZE 016 046 And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. 026 EZE 016 047 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. 026 EZE 016 048 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 026 EZE 016 049 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 026 EZE 016 050 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 026 EZE 016 051 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thy abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thy abominations which thou hast done. 026 EZE 016 052 Thou also, who hast judged thy sisters, bear thy own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. 026 EZE 016 053 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them: 026 EZE 016 054 That thou mayest bear thy own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort to them. 026 EZE 016 055 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former state. 026 EZE 016 056 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 026 EZE 016 057 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise thee on every side. 026 EZE 016 058 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thy abominations, saith the LORD. 026 EZE 016 059 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. 026 EZE 016 060 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant. 026 EZE 016 061 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. 026 EZE 016 062 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: 026 EZE 016 063 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 017 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 017 002 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel; 026 EZE 017 003 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had many colours, came to Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: 026 EZE 017 004 He cropped off the top of its young twigs, and carried it into a land of trade; he set it in a city of merchants. 026 EZE 017 005 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. 026 EZE 017 006 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. 026 EZE 017 007 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. 026 EZE 017 008 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a well favoured vine. 026 EZE 017 009 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by its roots. 026 EZE 017 010 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. 026 EZE 017 011 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 017 012 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon hath come to Jerusalem, and hath taken its king, and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon; 026 EZE 017 013 And hath taken of the king’s seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath from him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land: 026 EZE 017 014 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. 026 EZE 017 015 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? 026 EZE 017 016 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. 026 EZE 017 017 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, by casting up siege mounds, and building forts, to cut off many persons: 026 EZE 017 018 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape. 026 EZE 017 019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely my oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even that will I recompense upon his own head. 026 EZE 017 020 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. 026 EZE 017 021 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 017 022 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: 026 EZE 017 023 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a well favoured cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of its branches shall they dwell. 026 EZE 017 024 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it. 026 EZE 018 001 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 026 EZE 018 002 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge? 026 EZE 018 003 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 026 EZE 018 004 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. 026 EZE 018 005 But if a man is just, and doeth that which is lawful and right, 026 EZE 018 006 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a polluted woman, 026 EZE 018 007 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath stripped none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 026 EZE 018 008 He that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 026 EZE 018 009 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 018 010 If he begetteth a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like any one of these things, 026 EZE 018 011 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife, 026 EZE 018 012 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath stripped by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 026 EZE 018 013 Hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. 026 EZE 018 014 Now, lo, if he begetteth a son, that seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not likewise, 026 EZE 018 015 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife, 026 EZE 018 016 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withheld the pledge, neither hath stripped by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment, 026 EZE 018 017 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. 026 EZE 018 018 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, stripped his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. 026 EZE 018 019 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 026 EZE 018 020 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 026 EZE 018 021 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 026 EZE 018 022 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned to him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 026 EZE 018 023 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 026 EZE 018 024 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 026 EZE 018 025 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 026 EZE 018 026 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 026 EZE 018 027 Again, when a wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 026 EZE 018 028 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 026 EZE 018 029 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 026 EZE 018 030 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 026 EZE 018 031 Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 026 EZE 018 032 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: therefore turn ye, and live. 026 EZE 019 001 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 026 EZE 019 002 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. 026 EZE 019 003 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men. 026 EZE 019 004 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 019 005 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion. 026 EZE 019 006 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men. 026 EZE 019 007 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and all it containeth, by the noise of his roaring. 026 EZE 019 008 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit. 026 EZE 019 009 And they put him in custody in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into strong holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. 026 EZE 019 010 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. 026 EZE 019 011 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bore rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches. 026 EZE 019 012 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them. 026 EZE 019 013 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. 026 EZE 019 014 And fire hath gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. 026 EZE 020 001 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me. 026 EZE 020 002 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying, 026 EZE 020 003 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. 026 EZE 020 004 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers: 026 EZE 020 005 And say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to them, saying, I am the LORD your God; 026 EZE 020 006 In the day that I lifted up my hand to them, to bring them forth from the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands: 026 EZE 020 007 Then said I to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 026 EZE 020 008 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 020 009 But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth from the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 020 010 Therefore I caused them to go forth from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 026 EZE 020 011 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man doeth, he shall even live in them. 026 EZE 020 012 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. 026 EZE 020 013 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man doeth, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. 026 EZE 020 014 But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out. 026 EZE 020 015 Yet also I lifted up my hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; 026 EZE 020 016 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 026 EZE 020 017 Nevertheless my eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness. 026 EZE 020 018 But I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols: 026 EZE 020 019 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; 026 EZE 020 020 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God. 026 EZE 020 021 However the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man doeth, he shall even live in them; they profaned my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. 026 EZE 020 022 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth. 026 EZE 020 023 I lifted up my hand to them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries; 026 EZE 020 024 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols. 026 EZE 020 025 Therefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they should not live; 026 EZE 020 026 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 020 027 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 026 EZE 020 028 For when I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings. 026 EZE 020 029 Then I said to them, What is the high place to which ye go? And its name is called Bamah to this day. 026 EZE 020 030 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye harlotry after their abominations? 026 EZE 020 031 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. 026 EZE 020 032 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. 026 EZE 020 033 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 026 EZE 020 034 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries in which ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. 026 EZE 020 035 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. 026 EZE 020 036 As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 020 037 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 026 EZE 020 038 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 020 039 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and after this also, if ye will not hearken to me: but profane ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols. 026 EZE 020 040 For on my holy mountain, on the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. 026 EZE 020 041 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. 026 EZE 020 042 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers. 026 EZE 020 043 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, in which ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed. 026 EZE 020 044 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 020 045 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 020 046 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; 026 EZE 020 047 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned in it. 026 EZE 020 048 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 026 EZE 020 049 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables? 026 EZE 021 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 021 002 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, 026 EZE 021 003 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. 026 EZE 021 004 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: 026 EZE 021 005 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more. 026 EZE 021 006 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with breaking heart; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. 026 EZE 021 007 And it shall be, when they say to thee, Why sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 021 008 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 021 009 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also polished: 026 EZE 021 010 It is sharpened to make a grievous slaughter; it is polished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it despiseth the rod of my son, as every tree. 026 EZE 021 011 And he hath given it to be polished, that it may be handled: the sword is sharpened, and it is polished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. 026 EZE 021 012 Cry and wail, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh. 026 EZE 021 013 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword despise even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 021 014 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their private chambers. 026 EZE 021 015 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is sharpened for the slaughter. 026 EZE 021 016 Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, wherever thy face is set. 026 EZE 021 017 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it. 026 EZE 021 018 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 026 EZE 021 019 Also, thou son of man, mark two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both ways shall come forth from one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city. 026 EZE 021 020 Mark a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified. 026 EZE 021 021 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver. 026 EZE 021 022 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a siege mound, and to build a fort. 026 EZE 021 023 And it shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken. 026 EZE 021 024 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand. 026 EZE 021 025 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 026 EZE 021 026 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. 026 EZE 021 027 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he cometh whose right it is; and I will give it him. 026 EZE 021 028 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is polished, to consume because of the glittering: 026 EZE 021 029 While they see vanity to thee, while they divine a lie to thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end. 026 EZE 021 030 Shall I cause it to return into its sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. 026 EZE 021 031 And I will pour out my indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of cruel men, and skilful to destroy. 026 EZE 021 032 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 022 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 022 002 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations. 026 EZE 022 003 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself. 026 EZE 022 004 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself by thy idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even to thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries. 026 EZE 022 005 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, who art infamous and much troubled. 026 EZE 022 006 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood. 026 EZE 022 007 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they oppressed the fatherless and the widow. 026 EZE 022 008 Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. 026 EZE 022 009 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness. 026 EZE 022 010 In thee have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution. 026 EZE 022 011 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. 026 EZE 022 012 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained from thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 022 013 Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee. 026 EZE 022 014 Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it. 026 EZE 022 015 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 026 EZE 022 016 And thou shalt take thy inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 022 017 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 022 018 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver. 026 EZE 022 019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 026 EZE 022 020 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you. 026 EZE 022 021 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it. 026 EZE 022 022 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you. 026 EZE 022 023 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 022 024 Son of man, say to her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. 026 EZE 022 025 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst of her. 026 EZE 022 026 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shown difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 026 EZE 022 027 Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 026 EZE 022 028 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. 026 EZE 022 029 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have oppressed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. 026 EZE 022 030 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. 026 EZE 022 031 Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 023 001 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 023 002 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: 026 EZE 023 003 And they committed harlotries in Egypt; they committed harlotries in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity. 026 EZE 023 004 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. 026 EZE 023 005 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours, 026 EZE 023 006 Who were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. 026 EZE 023 007 Thus she committed her harlotries with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself. 026 EZE 023 008 Neither left she her harlotries brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their lust upon her. 026 EZE 023 009 Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 026 EZE 023 010 These uncovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they had executed judgment upon her. 026 EZE 023 011 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her harlotries more than her sister in her harlotries. 026 EZE 023 012 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 026 EZE 023 013 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way, 026 EZE 023 014 And that she increased her harlotries: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 026 EZE 023 015 Girded with belts upon their loins, flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity: 026 EZE 023 016 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. 026 EZE 023 017 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their immorality, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them. 026 EZE 023 018 So she revealed her harlotries, and uncovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, as my mind was alienated from her sister. 026 EZE 023 019 Yet she multiplied her harlotries, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 023 020 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 026 EZE 023 021 Thus thou didst call to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth. 026 EZE 023 022 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side; 026 EZE 023 023 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses. 026 EZE 023 024 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall commit against thee buckler and shield and helmet on every side: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments. 026 EZE 023 025 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thy ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy remnant shall be devoured by the fire. 026 EZE 023 026 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 026 EZE 023 027 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy harlotry brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more. 026 EZE 023 028 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated: 026 EZE 023 029 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy harlotries shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy harlotries. 026 EZE 023 030 I will do these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols. 026 EZE 023 031 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand. 026 EZE 023 032 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed at and had in derision; it containeth much. 026 EZE 023 033 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of horror and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 026 EZE 023 034 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it, and thou shalt break its pieces, and pluck off thy own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 023 035 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy harlotries. 026 EZE 023 036 The LORD said moreover to me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare to them their abominations; 026 EZE 023 037 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them. 026 EZE 023 038 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 026 EZE 023 039 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house. 026 EZE 023 040 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, to whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, didst paint thy eyes, and didst deck thyself with ornaments, 026 EZE 023 041 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, upon which thou hast set my incense and my oil. 026 EZE 023 042 And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, who put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads. 026 EZE 023 043 Then said I to her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit harlotries with her, and she with them? 026 EZE 023 044 Yet they went in to her, as they go in to a woman that playeth the harlot: so they went in to Aholah and to Aholibah, the lewd women. 026 EZE 023 045 And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. 026 EZE 023 046 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and plundered. 026 EZE 023 047 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire. 026 EZE 023 048 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 026 EZE 023 049 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 024 001 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 024 002 Son of man, write for thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day. 026 EZE 024 003 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: 026 EZE 024 004 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 026 EZE 024 005 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them boil its bones in it. 026 EZE 024 006 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. 026 EZE 024 007 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; 026 EZE 024 008 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. 026 EZE 024 009 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. 026 EZE 024 010 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. 026 EZE 024 011 Then set it empty upon its coals, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be melted in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. 026 EZE 024 012 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. 026 EZE 024 013 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 026 EZE 024 014 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 024 015 Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 024 016 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 026 EZE 024 017 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind thy turban upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 026 EZE 024 018 So I spoke to the people in the morning: and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. 026 EZE 024 019 And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 026 EZE 024 020 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 024 021 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. 026 EZE 024 022 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 026 EZE 024 023 And your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. 026 EZE 024 024 Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 024 025 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, 026 EZE 024 026 That he that escapeth in that day shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thy ears? 026 EZE 024 027 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him who hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 025 001 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 025 002 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them; 026 EZE 025 003 And say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity; 026 EZE 025 004 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. 026 EZE 025 005 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 025 006 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; 026 EZE 025 007 Behold, therefore I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 025 008 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the heathen; 026 EZE 025 009 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim, 026 EZE 025 010 To the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. 026 EZE 025 011 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 025 012 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 026 EZE 025 013 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 026 EZE 025 014 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 025 015 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; 026 EZE 025 016 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 026 EZE 025 017 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. 026 EZE 026 001 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 026 002 Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned to me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste: 026 EZE 026 003 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come up. 026 EZE 026 004 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. 026 EZE 026 005 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 026 EZE 026 006 And her daughters who are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 026 007 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and many people. 026 EZE 026 008 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a siege mound against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. 026 EZE 026 009 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. 026 EZE 026 010 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach. 026 EZE 026 011 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. 026 EZE 026 012 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. 026 EZE 026 013 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. 026 EZE 026 014 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 026 015 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyre; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? 026 EZE 026 016 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee. 026 EZE 026 017 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who cause their terror to be on all that dwelt in it! 026 EZE 026 018 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. 026 EZE 026 019 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; 026 EZE 026 020 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living; 026 EZE 026 021 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou shalt be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 027 001 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 027 002 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre; 026 EZE 027 003 And say to Tyre, O thou that dwelleth at the entrance of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyre, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. 026 EZE 027 004 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 026 EZE 027 005 They have made all thy ship planks of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee. 026 EZE 027 006 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thy oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim. 026 EZE 027 007 Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee. 026 EZE 027 008 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyre, that were in thee, were thy pilots. 026 EZE 027 009 The ancients of Gebal and her wise men were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to exchange thy merchandise. 026 EZE 027 010 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thy army, thy men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness. 026 EZE 027 011 The men of Arvad with thy army were upon thy walls on all sides, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hung their shields upon thy walls on every side; they have made thy beauty perfect. 026 EZE 027 012 Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs. 026 EZE 027 013 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded in the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market. 026 EZE 027 014 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 026 EZE 027 015 The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thy hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony. 026 EZE 027 016 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they traded in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate. 026 EZE 027 017 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market in wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 026 EZE 027 018 Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 026 EZE 027 019 Dan also and Javan going to and fro traded in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market. 026 EZE 027 020 Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots. 026 EZE 027 021 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they traded with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants. 026 EZE 027 022 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy fairs with the best of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 026 EZE 027 023 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants. 026 EZE 027 024 These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 026 EZE 027 025 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. 026 EZE 027 026 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. 026 EZE 027 027 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the traders of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. 026 EZE 027 028 The waves shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 026 EZE 027 029 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; 026 EZE 027 030 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: 026 EZE 027 031 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. 026 EZE 027 032 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyre, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? 026 EZE 027 033 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou didst fill many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. 026 EZE 027 034 In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. 026 EZE 027 035 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be terribly afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. 026 EZE 027 036 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more. 026 EZE 028 001 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 028 002 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou settest thy heart as the heart of God: 026 EZE 028 003 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 026 EZE 028 004 With thy wisdom and with thy understanding thou hast gained for thee riches, and hast gained gold and silver into thy treasuries: 026 EZE 028 005 By thy great wisdom and by thy merchandise hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 026 EZE 028 006 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God; 026 EZE 028 007 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 026 EZE 028 008 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 026 EZE 028 009 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. 026 EZE 028 010 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 028 011 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 028 012 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 026 EZE 028 013 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 026 EZE 028 014 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 026 EZE 028 015 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 026 EZE 028 016 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 026 EZE 028 017 Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 026 EZE 028 018 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, by the iniquity of thy merchandise; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 026 EZE 028 019 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. 026 EZE 028 020 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 028 021 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it, 026 EZE 028 022 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. 026 EZE 028 023 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 028 024 And there shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are around them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 028 025 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. 026 EZE 028 026 And they shall dwell safely in it, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them around them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God. 026 EZE 029 001 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 029 002 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: 026 EZE 029 003 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself. 026 EZE 029 004 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales, and I will bring thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick to thy scales. 026 EZE 029 005 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for food to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of heaven. 026 EZE 029 006 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 026 EZE 029 007 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst break, and make all their loins quake. 026 EZE 029 008 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. 026 EZE 029 009 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it. 026 EZE 029 010 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Cush. 026 EZE 029 011 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 026 EZE 029 012 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 026 EZE 029 013 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they were scattered: 026 EZE 029 014 And I will bring again the captives of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. 026 EZE 029 015 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations. 026 EZE 029 016 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 029 017 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 029 018 Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed raw: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyre, for the service that he had served against it: 026 EZE 029 019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. 026 EZE 029 020 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour which he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 029 021 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 030 001 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 030 002 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Wail ye, Alas the day! 026 EZE 030 003 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. 026 EZE 030 004 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Cush, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down. 026 EZE 030 005 Cush, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. 026 EZE 030 006 Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 030 007 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. 026 EZE 030 008 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 026 EZE 030 009 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Cushites afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh. 026 EZE 030 010 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 026 EZE 030 011 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. 026 EZE 030 012 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 030 013 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 030 014 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. 026 EZE 030 015 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 026 EZE 030 016 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily. 026 EZE 030 017 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. 026 EZE 030 018 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. 026 EZE 030 019 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 030 020 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 030 021 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a bandage to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. 026 EZE 030 022 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. 026 EZE 030 023 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 026 EZE 030 024 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 026 EZE 030 025 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 030 026 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 031 001 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 031 002 Son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? 026 EZE 031 003 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shady cover, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. 026 EZE 031 004 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running around his plants, and sent out her little rivers to all the trees of the field. 026 EZE 031 005 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. 026 EZE 031 006 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. 026 EZE 031 007 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. 026 EZE 031 008 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; not any tree in the garden of God was like him in his beauty. 026 EZE 031 009 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. 026 EZE 031 010 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 026 EZE 031 011 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. 026 EZE 031 012 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth have gone down from his shadow, and have left him. 026 EZE 031 013 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: 026 EZE 031 014 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. 026 EZE 031 015 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its floods, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 031 016 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 031 017 They also went down into hell with him to them that are slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 031 018 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 032 001 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 032 002 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou didst come forth with thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst foul their rivers. 026 EZE 032 003 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. 026 EZE 032 004 Then will I leave thee upon the land, and I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. 026 EZE 032 005 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 026 EZE 032 006 I will also water with thy blood the land in which thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee. 026 EZE 032 007 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. 026 EZE 032 008 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 032 009 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known. 026 EZE 032 010 Yea, I will make many people astonished at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall. 026 EZE 032 011 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 026 EZE 032 012 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall lay waste the pomp of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed. 026 EZE 032 013 I will destroy also all its beasts from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. 026 EZE 032 014 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 032 015 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell in it, then shall they know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 032 016 This is the lamentation which they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 032 017 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 032 018 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. 026 EZE 032 019 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. 026 EZE 032 020 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes. 026 EZE 032 021 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 032 022 Assyria is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: 026 EZE 032 023 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is around her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living. 026 EZE 032 024 There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit. 026 EZE 032 025 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are around him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain. 026 EZE 032 026 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are around him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living. 026 EZE 032 027 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 032 028 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword. 026 EZE 032 029 There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. 026 EZE 032 030 There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. 026 EZE 032 031 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 032 032 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 033 001 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 033 002 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman: 026 EZE 033 003 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he shall blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 026 EZE 033 004 Then whoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword will come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 026 EZE 033 005 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 026 EZE 033 006 But if the watchman will see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword will come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. 026 EZE 033 007 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 026 EZE 033 008 When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 026 EZE 033 009 Nevertheless, if thou shalt warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he will not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 026 EZE 033 010 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak to the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 026 EZE 033 011 Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked should turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 026 EZE 033 012 Therefore, thou son of man, say to the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 026 EZE 033 013 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he will trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 026 EZE 033 014 Again, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he will turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 026 EZE 033 015 If the wicked will restore the pledge, give again that which he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 026 EZE 033 016 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned to him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 026 EZE 033 017 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 026 EZE 033 018 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, for that he shall even die. 026 EZE 033 019 But if the wicked will turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, for that he shall live. 026 EZE 033 020 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways. 026 EZE 033 021 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten. 026 EZE 033 022 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. 026 EZE 033 023 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 033 024 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given to us for inheritance. 026 EZE 033 025 Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? 026 EZE 033 026 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land? 026 EZE 033 027 Say thou thus to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the forts and in the caves shall die by the pestilence. 026 EZE 033 028 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. 026 EZE 033 029 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed. 026 EZE 033 030 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. 026 EZE 033 031 And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 026 EZE 033 032 And, lo, thou art to them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do not perform them. 026 EZE 033 033 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. 026 EZE 034 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 034 002 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD to the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 026 EZE 034 003 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. 026 EZE 034 004 The diseased ye have not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 026 EZE 034 005 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became food to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 026 EZE 034 006 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek for them. 026 EZE 034 007 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 026 EZE 034 008 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became food to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 026 EZE 034 009 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 026 EZE 034 010 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be food for them. 026 EZE 034 011 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search for my sheep, and seek them out. 026 EZE 034 012 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 026 EZE 034 013 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 026 EZE 034 014 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a rich pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 026 EZE 034 015 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 034 016 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. 026 EZE 034 017 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the male goats. 026 EZE 034 018 Seemeth it a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet? 026 EZE 034 019 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. 026 EZE 034 020 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 026 EZE 034 021 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 026 EZE 034 022 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 026 EZE 034 023 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 026 EZE 034 024 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 034 025 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 026 EZE 034 026 And I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing. 026 EZE 034 027 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that subjected them to service. 026 EZE 034 028 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. 026 EZE 034 029 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 026 EZE 034 030 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 034 031 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 035 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 035 002 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 026 EZE 035 003 And say to it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. 026 EZE 035 004 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 035 005 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end: 026 EZE 035 006 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. 026 EZE 035 007 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 026 EZE 035 008 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 026 EZE 035 009 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 035 010 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; though the LORD was there: 026 EZE 035 011 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. 026 EZE 035 012 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. 026 EZE 035 013 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. 026 EZE 035 014 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 026 EZE 035 015 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 036 001 Also, thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: 026 EZE 036 002 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy had said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession: 026 EZE 036 003 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession to the rest of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: 026 EZE 036 004 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the rest of the heathen that are on every side; 026 EZE 036 005 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the rest of the heathen, and against all Edom, who have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. 026 EZE 036 006 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen: 026 EZE 036 007 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up my hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. 026 EZE 036 008 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are soon to come. 026 EZE 036 009 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: 026 EZE 036 010 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built: 026 EZE 036 011 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you according to your old estates, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 036 012 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men. 026 EZE 036 013 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say to you, Thou land devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nations; 026 EZE 036 014 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 036 015 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 036 016 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 036 017 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a defiled woman. 026 EZE 036 018 Therefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it: 026 EZE 036 019 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. 026 EZE 036 020 And when they entered among the heathen, where they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 026 EZE 036 021 But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, where they went. 026 EZE 036 022 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, where ye went. 026 EZE 036 023 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. 026 EZE 036 024 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 026 EZE 036 025 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 026 EZE 036 026 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 026 EZE 036 027 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 026 EZE 036 028 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 026 EZE 036 029 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. 026 EZE 036 030 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. 026 EZE 036 031 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 026 EZE 036 032 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. 026 EZE 036 033 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built. 026 EZE 036 034 And the desolate land shall be tilled, though it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 026 EZE 036 035 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fortified, and are inhabited. 026 EZE 036 036 Then the heathen that are left around you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that which was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. 026 EZE 036 037 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. 026 EZE 036 038 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 037 001 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 026 EZE 037 002 And caused me to pass by them on every side: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 026 EZE 037 003 And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 026 EZE 037 004 Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 026 EZE 037 005 Thus saith the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 026 EZE 037 006 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 037 007 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 026 EZE 037 008 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 026 EZE 037 009 Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 026 EZE 037 010 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 026 EZE 037 011 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off on our part. 026 EZE 037 012 Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 026 EZE 037 013 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you out of your graves, 026 EZE 037 014 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. 026 EZE 037 015 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 026 EZE 037 016 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 026 EZE 037 017 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand. 026 EZE 037 018 And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these? 026 EZE 037 019 Say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. 026 EZE 037 020 And the sticks on which thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes. 026 EZE 037 021 And say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, where they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 026 EZE 037 022 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: 026 EZE 037 023 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 026 EZE 037 024 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 026 EZE 037 025 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell in it, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. 026 EZE 037 026 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. 026 EZE 037 027 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 026 EZE 037 028 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. 026 EZE 038 001 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 026 EZE 038 002 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 026 EZE 038 003 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 026 EZE 038 004 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 026 EZE 038 005 Persia, Cush, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 026 EZE 038 006 Gomer, and all his troops; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his troops: and many people with thee. 026 EZE 038 007 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled to thee, and be thou a guard to them. 026 EZE 038 008 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all dwell in safety. 026 EZE 038 009 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy troops, and many people with thee. 026 EZE 038 010 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 026 EZE 038 011 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 026 EZE 038 012 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thy hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 026 EZE 038 013 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, shall say to thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? 026 EZE 038 014 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 026 EZE 038 015 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 026 EZE 038 016 And thou shalt come against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 026 EZE 038 017 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken of old by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? 026 EZE 038 018 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 026 EZE 038 019 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 026 EZE 038 020 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be overturned, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 026 EZE 038 021 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. 026 EZE 038 022 And I will enter into judgment against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his troops, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 026 EZE 038 023 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 039 001 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 026 EZE 039 002 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 026 EZE 039 003 And I will strike thy bow out of thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall from thy right hand. 026 EZE 039 004 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy troops, and the people that are with thee: I will give thee to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 026 EZE 039 005 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 039 006 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell securely in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 039 007 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them profane my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 026 EZE 039 008 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day of which I have spoken. 026 EZE 039 009 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the javelins, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 026 EZE 039 010 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall lay waste those that wasted them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 039 011 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give to Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the travellers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the travellers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. 026 EZE 039 012 And seven months shall the house of Israel be in burying them, that they may cleanse the land. 026 EZE 039 013 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 039 014 And they shall set apart men for the continual task of passing through the land to bury with the travellers those that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. 026 EZE 039 015 And as travellers pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. 026 EZE 039 016 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 026 EZE 039 017 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak to every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 026 EZE 039 018 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 026 EZE 039 019 And ye shall eat fat till ye are full, and drink blood till ye are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 026 EZE 039 020 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 039 021 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 026 EZE 039 022 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 026 EZE 039 023 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore I hid my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so they all fell by the sword. 026 EZE 039 024 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done to them, and hidden my face from them. 026 EZE 039 025 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 026 EZE 039 026 After they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. 026 EZE 039 027 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 026 EZE 039 028 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, who caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them to their own land, and have left none of them there any more. 026 EZE 039 029 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 040 001 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me there. 026 EZE 040 002 In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was a structure like a city on the south. 026 EZE 040 003 And he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. 026 EZE 040 004 And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them to thee art thou brought here: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. 026 EZE 040 005 And behold a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. 026 EZE 040 006 Then he came to the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad. 026 EZE 040 007 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed. 026 EZE 040 008 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. 026 EZE 040 009 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inside. 026 EZE 040 010 And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. 026 EZE 040 011 And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 026 EZE 040 012 The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 026 EZE 040 013 He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door. 026 EZE 040 014 He made also posts of sixty cubits, even to the post of the court around to the gate. 026 EZE 040 015 And from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. 026 EZE 040 016 And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate on every side, and likewise to the arches: and windows were all around inside: and upon each post were palm trees. 026 EZE 040 017 Then he brought me into the outer court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all around: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 026 EZE 040 018 And the pavement by the side of the gates was as wide as the length of the gates; was to the lower pavement. 026 EZE 040 019 Then he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court on the other side, an hundred cubits eastward and northward. 026 EZE 040 020 And the gate of the outer court that looked toward the north, he measured its length, and its breadth. 026 EZE 040 021 And its little chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits. 026 EZE 040 022 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them. 026 EZE 040 023 And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits. 026 EZE 040 024 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures. 026 EZE 040 025 And there were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 026 EZE 040 026 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its posts. 026 EZE 040 027 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. 026 EZE 040 028 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures; 026 EZE 040 029 And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 026 EZE 040 030 And the arches all around were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. 026 EZE 040 031 And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps. 026 EZE 040 032 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures. 026 EZE 040 033 And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, were according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 026 EZE 040 034 And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps. 026 EZE 040 035 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures; 026 EZE 040 036 Its little chambers, its posts, and its arches, and the windows all around: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 026 EZE 040 037 And its posts were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps. 026 EZE 040 038 And the chambers and its entrances were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering. 026 EZE 040 039 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay on it the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering. 026 EZE 040 040 And on the outside, as one goeth up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables. 026 EZE 040 041 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, upon which they slew their sacrifices. 026 EZE 040 042 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: upon which also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 026 EZE 040 043 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened all around: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering. 026 EZE 040 044 And outside the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north. 026 EZE 040 045 And he said to me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. 026 EZE 040 046 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, who come near to the LORD to minister to him. 026 EZE 040 047 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house. 026 EZE 040 048 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. 026 EZE 040 049 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side. 026 EZE 041 001 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. 026 EZE 041 002 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length of it, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. 026 EZE 041 003 Then he went inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. 026 EZE 041 004 So he measured the length of it, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place. 026 EZE 041 005 Afterward he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round the house on every side. 026 EZE 041 006 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers all around, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house. 026 EZE 041 007 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward on all sides of the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber. 026 EZE 041 008 I saw also the height of the house all around: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. 026 EZE 041 009 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within. 026 EZE 041 010 And between the chambers was the width of twenty cubits all around the house on every side. 026 EZE 041 011 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits all around. 026 EZE 041 012 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits. 026 EZE 041 013 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, an hundred cubits long; 026 EZE 041 014 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. 026 EZE 041 015 And he measured the length of the building in front of the separate place which was behind it, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; 026 EZE 041 016 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries on every side on their three stories, opposite the door, panelled with wood all around, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered; 026 EZE 041 017 To that above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around within and without, by measure. 026 EZE 041 018 And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; 026 EZE 041 019 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house all around. 026 EZE 041 020 From the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple. 026 EZE 041 021 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. 026 EZE 041 022 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and its length was two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before the LORD. 026 EZE 041 023 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 026 EZE 041 024 And the doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. 026 EZE 041 025 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch outside. 026 EZE 041 026 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks. 026 EZE 042 001 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north. 026 EZE 042 002 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 026 EZE 042 003 Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. 026 EZE 042 004 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. 026 EZE 042 005 Now the upper chambers were narrower: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middle ones of the building. 026 EZE 042 006 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the upper chambers were set back more than the lower and the middle ones from the ground. 026 EZE 042 007 And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court on the forepart of the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits. 026 EZE 042 008 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits. 026 EZE 042 009 And from under these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court. 026 EZE 042 010 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate place, and opposite the building. 026 EZE 042 011 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors. 026 EZE 042 012 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them. 026 EZE 042 013 Then said he to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are holy chambers, where the priests that approach to the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. 026 EZE 042 014 When the priests enter in it, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people. 026 EZE 042 015 Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it all around. 026 EZE 042 016 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed on every side. 026 EZE 042 017 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed on every side. 026 EZE 042 018 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. 026 EZE 042 019 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 026 EZE 042 020 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall all around, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the common place. 026 EZE 043 001 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: 026 EZE 043 002 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. 026 EZE 043 003 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 026 EZE 043 004 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 026 EZE 043 005 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. 026 EZE 043 006 And I heard him speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me. 026 EZE 043 007 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, nor by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places. 026 EZE 043 008 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger. 026 EZE 043 009 Now let them put away their harlotry, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. 026 EZE 043 010 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. 026 EZE 043 011 And if they will be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write it in their sight, that they may keep its whole form, and all its ordinances, and do them. 026 EZE 043 012 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain its whole limit all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house. 026 EZE 043 013 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by its edge on every side shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar. 026 EZE 043 014 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the smaller ledge even to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. 026 EZE 043 015 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns. 026 EZE 043 016 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in its four sides. 026 EZE 043 017 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom of it shall be a cubit about; and its stairs shall look toward the east. 026 EZE 043 018 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it. 026 EZE 043 019 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bull for a sin offering. 026 EZE 043 020 And thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border on every side: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it. 026 EZE 043 021 Thou shalt take the bull also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary. 026 EZE 043 022 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull. 026 EZE 043 023 When thou hast finished cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. 026 EZE 043 024 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offering to the LORD. 026 EZE 043 025 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 026 EZE 043 026 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. 026 EZE 043 027 And when these days are fulfilled, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 044 001 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 026 EZE 044 002 Then said the LORD to me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. 026 EZE 044 003 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. 026 EZE 044 004 Then he brought me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face. 026 EZE 044 005 And the LORD said to me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears all that I say to thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit from the sanctuary. 026 EZE 044 006 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations, 026 EZE 044 007 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. 026 EZE 044 008 And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. 026 EZE 044 009 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. 026 EZE 044 010 And the Levites that have gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity. 026 EZE 044 011 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them. 026 EZE 044 012 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity. 026 EZE 044 013 And they shall not come near to me, to do the office of a priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 026 EZE 044 014 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done in it. 026 EZE 044 015 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: 026 EZE 044 016 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge. 026 EZE 044 017 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. 026 EZE 044 018 They shall have linen headdresses upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat. 026 EZE 044 019 And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments. 026 EZE 044 020 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut the hair of their heads. 026 EZE 044 021 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 026 EZE 044 022 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before. 026 EZE 044 023 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 026 EZE 044 024 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 026 EZE 044 025 And they shall come near no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 026 EZE 044 026 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days. 026 EZE 044 027 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 044 028 And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession. 026 EZE 044 029 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs. 026 EZE 044 030 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give to the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thy house. 026 EZE 044 031 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether of fowl or beast. 026 EZE 045 001 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation to the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all its borders on every side. 026 EZE 045 002 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square on every side; and fifty cubits on every side for its common lands. 026 EZE 045 003 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place. 026 EZE 045 004 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, who shall come near to minister to the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary. 026 EZE 045 005 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers. 026 EZE 045 006 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, beside the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. 026 EZE 045 007 And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be the same as one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 026 EZE 045 008 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes. 026 EZE 045 009 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 045 010 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. 026 EZE 045 011 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure of it shall be after the homer. 026 EZE 045 012 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh. 026 EZE 045 013 This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley: 026 EZE 045 014 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer: 026 EZE 045 015 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the rich pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 045 016 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. 026 EZE 045 017 And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel. 026 EZE 045 018 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bull without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary: 026 EZE 045 019 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. 026 EZE 045 020 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house. 026 EZE 045 021 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 026 EZE 045 022 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering. 026 EZE 045 023 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. 026 EZE 045 024 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah. 026 EZE 045 025 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do likewise in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil. 026 EZE 046 001 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 026 EZE 046 002 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate from outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 026 EZE 046 003 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons. 026 EZE 046 004 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 026 EZE 046 005 And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 026 EZE 046 006 And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish. 026 EZE 046 007 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall be able, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 026 EZE 046 008 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way of it. 026 EZE 046 009 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth opposite it. 026 EZE 046 010 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. 026 EZE 046 011 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bull, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 026 EZE 046 012 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily to the LORD, one shall then open to him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. 026 EZE 046 013 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering to the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning. 026 EZE 046 014 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance to the LORD. 026 EZE 046 015 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering. 026 EZE 046 016 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince shall give a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it shall be to his sons’; it shall be their possession by inheritance. 026 EZE 046 017 But if he will give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; afterward it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be to his sons for them. 026 EZE 046 018 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not dispossessed every man from his possession. 026 EZE 046 019 Afterward he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward. 026 EZE 046 020 Then said he to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the outer court, to sanctify the people. 026 EZE 046 021 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. 026 EZE 046 022 In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure. 026 EZE 046 023 And there was a row of building all around in them, around the four of them, and it was made with boiling places under the rows on every side. 026 EZE 046 024 Then said he to me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people. 026 EZE 047 001 Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. 026 EZE 047 002 Then he brought me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way outside to the outer gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. 026 EZE 047 003 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. 026 EZE 047 004 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. 026 EZE 047 005 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. 026 EZE 047 006 And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. 026 EZE 047 007 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 026 EZE 047 008 Then said he to me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. 026 EZE 047 009 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, wherever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come there: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live where the river cometh. 026 EZE 047 010 And it shall come to pass, that the fishermen shall stand upon it from Engedi even to Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, very many. 026 EZE 047 011 But its miry places and its marshes shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. 026 EZE 047 012 And by the river upon its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall its fruit be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to its months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for medicine. 026 EZE 047 013 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, by which ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. 026 EZE 047 014 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance. 026 EZE 047 015 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad; 026 EZE 047 016 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. 026 EZE 047 017 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side. 026 EZE 047 018 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border to the east sea. And this is the east side. 026 EZE 047 019 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward. 026 EZE 047 020 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man cometh opposite Hamath. This is the west side. 026 EZE 047 021 So shall ye divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel. 026 EZE 047 022 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 026 EZE 047 023 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 048 001 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the border of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the border of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan. 026 EZE 048 002 And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Asher. 026 EZE 048 003 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, a portion for Naphtali. 026 EZE 048 004 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Manasseh. 026 EZE 048 005 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Ephraim. 026 EZE 048 006 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, a portion for Reuben. 026 EZE 048 007 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Judah. 026 EZE 048 008 And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 026 EZE 048 009 The oblation that ye shall offer to the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. 026 EZE 048 010 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst of it. 026 EZE 048 011 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; who have kept my charge, who went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 026 EZE 048 012 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be to them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. 026 EZE 048 013 And next to the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 026 EZE 048 014 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy to the LORD. 026 EZE 048 015 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth next to the five and twenty thousand, shall be a common place for the city, for dwelling, and for common lands: and the city shall be in the midst of it. 026 EZE 048 016 And these shall be the measures of it; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred. 026 EZE 048 017 And the common lands of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. 026 EZE 048 018 And the remainder in length next to the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be next to the oblation of the holy portion; and its increase shall be for food to them that serve the city. 026 EZE 048 019 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. 026 EZE 048 020 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city. 026 EZE 048 021 And the remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, next to the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward next to the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, next to the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it. 026 EZE 048 022 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince. 026 EZE 048 023 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion. 026 EZE 048 024 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon shall have a portion. 026 EZE 048 025 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar a portion. 026 EZE 048 026 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun a portion. 026 EZE 048 027 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad a portion. 026 EZE 048 028 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea. 026 EZE 048 029 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 048 030 And these are the exits of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures. 026 EZE 048 031 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi. 026 EZE 048 032 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan. 026 EZE 048 033 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun. 026 EZE 048 034 And the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali. 026 EZE 048 035 The circumference was eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there. # # BOOK 027 DAN Daniel Daniel 027 DAN 001 001 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it. 027 DAN 001 002 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. 027 DAN 001 003 And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes; 027 DAN 001 004 Children in whom was no blemish, but of good appearance, and skilful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the language of the Chaldeans. 027 DAN 001 005 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s food, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end of which they might stand before the king. 027 DAN 001 006 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 027 DAN 001 007 To whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego. 027 DAN 001 008 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 027 DAN 001 009 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the prince of the eunuchs. 027 DAN 001 010 And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the children who are of your age? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 027 DAN 001 011 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 027 DAN 001 012 Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink. 027 DAN 001 013 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s food: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. 027 DAN 001 014 So he consented to them in this matter, and tried them ten days. 027 DAN 001 015 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children who ate the portion of the king’s food. 027 DAN 001 016 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their food, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them vegetables. 027 DAN 001 017 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 027 DAN 001 018 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 027 DAN 001 019 And the king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they stood before the king. 027 DAN 001 020 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. 027 DAN 001 021 And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus. 027 DAN 002 001 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, by which his spirit was troubled, and his sleep broke from him. 027 DAN 002 002 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 027 DAN 002 003 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. 027 DAN 002 004 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Syrian, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 005 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known to me the dream, with the interpretation of it, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a refuse heap. 027 DAN 002 006 But if ye shall show the dream, and the interpretation of it, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation of it. 027 DAN 002 007 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it. 027 DAN 002 008 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. 027 DAN 002 009 But if ye will not make known to me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation of it. 027 DAN 002 010 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can reveal the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that hath asked such things of any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. 027 DAN 002 011 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can reveal it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. 027 DAN 002 012 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 027 DAN 002 013 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain. 027 DAN 002 014 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: 027 DAN 002 015 He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. 027 DAN 002 016 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 017 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 027 DAN 002 018 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 027 DAN 002 019 Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 027 DAN 002 020 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 027 DAN 002 021 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 027 DAN 002 022 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 027 DAN 002 023 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known to me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known to us the king’s matter. 027 DAN 002 024 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will reveal to the king the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 025 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known to the king the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 026 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it? 027 DAN 002 027 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, cannot reveal to the king; 027 DAN 002 028 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; 027 DAN 002 029 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass after this: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. 027 DAN 002 030 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart. 027 DAN 002 031 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and its form was terrible. 027 DAN 002 032 The head of this image was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 027 DAN 002 033 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 027 DAN 002 034 Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. 027 DAN 002 035 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. 027 DAN 002 036 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. 027 DAN 002 037 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. 027 DAN 002 038 And wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. 027 DAN 002 039 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. 027 DAN 002 040 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 027 DAN 002 041 And though thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay. 027 DAN 002 042 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 027 DAN 002 043 And though thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not join one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 027 DAN 002 044 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 027 DAN 002 045 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass after this: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure. 027 DAN 002 046 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours to him. 027 DAN 002 047 The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. 027 DAN 002 048 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. 027 DAN 002 049 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king. 027 DAN 003 001 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 027 DAN 003 002 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 027 DAN 003 003 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 027 DAN 003 004 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, 027 DAN 003 005 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: 027 DAN 003 006 And whoever falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 007 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 027 DAN 003 008 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. 027 DAN 003 009 They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. 027 DAN 003 010 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image: 027 DAN 003 011 And whoever falleth not down and worshippeth, that he shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 012 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 027 DAN 003 013 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. 027 DAN 003 014 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do ye not serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 027 DAN 003 015 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 027 DAN 003 016 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 027 DAN 003 017 If it is so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. 027 DAN 003 018 But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 027 DAN 003 019 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was heated before. 027 DAN 003 020 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 021 Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, and their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 022 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 027 DAN 003 023 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 024 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said to his counsellors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king. 027 DAN 003 025 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 027 DAN 003 026 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth from the midst of the fire. 027 DAN 003 027 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor had the smell of fire passed upon them. 027 DAN 003 028 Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 027 DAN 003 029 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a refuse heap: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 027 DAN 003 030 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon. 027 DAN 004 001 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you. 027 DAN 004 002 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. 027 DAN 004 003 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation. 027 DAN 004 004 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace: 027 DAN 004 005 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. 027 DAN 004 006 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 027 DAN 004 007 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it. 027 DAN 004 008 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying, 027 DAN 004 009 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation of it. 027 DAN 004 010 Thus were the visions of my head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. 027 DAN 004 011 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to heaven, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth: 027 DAN 004 012 Its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the fowls of heaven dwelt among its boughs, and all flesh was fed from it. 027 DAN 004 013 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; 027 DAN 004 014 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts escape from under it, and the fowls from its branches: 027 DAN 004 015 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: 027 DAN 004 016 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him. 027 DAN 004 017 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. 027 DAN 004 018 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation of it, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. 027 DAN 004 019 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was appalled for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation of it, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thy enemies. 027 DAN 004 020 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the heaven, and the sight of it to all the earth; 027 DAN 004 021 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit of it abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of heaven had their habitation: 027 DAN 004 022 It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 027 DAN 004 023 And in that the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times shall pass over him; 027 DAN 004 024 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 027 DAN 004 025 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomever he will. 027 DAN 004 026 And though they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure to thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. 027 DAN 004 027 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 027 DAN 004 028 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. 027 DAN 004 029 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 027 DAN 004 030 The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? 027 DAN 004 031 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom hath departed from thee. 027 DAN 004 032 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomever he will. 027 DAN 004 033 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. 027 DAN 004 034 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: 027 DAN 004 035 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou? 027 DAN 004 036 At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and brightness returned to me; and my counsellors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. 027 DAN 004 037 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. 027 DAN 005 001 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 027 DAN 005 002 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them. 027 DAN 005 003 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. 027 DAN 005 004 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 027 DAN 005 005 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote opposite the lampstand upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 027 DAN 005 006 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. 027 DAN 005 007 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. 027 DAN 005 008 Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation of it. 027 DAN 005 009 Then was the king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were confused. 027 DAN 005 010 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 027 DAN 005 011 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 027 DAN 005 012 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, the interpreting of dreams, and declaring of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation. 027 DAN 005 013 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah? 027 DAN 005 014 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. 027 DAN 005 015 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it: but they could not show the interpretation of the thing: 027 DAN 005 016 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 027 DAN 005 017 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 027 DAN 005 018 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 027 DAN 005 019 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. 027 DAN 005 020 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: 027 DAN 005 021 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomever he will. 027 DAN 005 022 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this; 027 DAN 005 023 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, thou hast not glorified: 027 DAN 005 024 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. 027 DAN 005 025 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 027 DAN 005 026 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 027 DAN 005 027 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 027 DAN 005 028 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. 027 DAN 005 029 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 027 DAN 005 030 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 027 DAN 005 031 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about sixty and two years old. 027 DAN 006 001 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, who should be over the whole kingdom; 027 DAN 006 002 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts to them, and the king should suffer no loss. 027 DAN 006 003 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. 027 DAN 006 004 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. 027 DAN 006 005 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. 027 DAN 006 006 Then these presidents and princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever. 027 DAN 006 007 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 027 DAN 006 008 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 027 DAN 006 009 Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. 027 DAN 006 010 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before. 027 DAN 006 011 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. 027 DAN 006 012 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 027 DAN 006 013 Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. 027 DAN 006 014 Then the king, when he heard these words, was much displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the setting of the sun to deliver him. 027 DAN 006 015 Then these men assembled to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. 027 DAN 006 016 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. 027 DAN 006 017 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. 027 DAN 006 018 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him. 027 DAN 006 019 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions. 027 DAN 006 020 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel: and the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? 027 DAN 006 021 Then said Daniel to the king, O king, live for ever. 027 DAN 006 022 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. 027 DAN 006 023 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was taken out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. 027 DAN 006 024 And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den. 027 DAN 006 025 Then king Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you. 027 DAN 006 026 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end. 027 DAN 006 027 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. 027 DAN 006 028 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. 027 DAN 007 001 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 027 DAN 007 002 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven strove upon the great sea. 027 DAN 007 003 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another. 027 DAN 007 004 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 027 DAN 007 005 And behold another beast, a second, like a bear, and it raised itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh. 027 DAN 007 006 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. 027 DAN 007 007 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the remainder with its feet: and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 027 DAN 007 008 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. 027 DAN 007 009 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 027 DAN 007 010 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 027 DAN 007 011 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. 027 DAN 007 012 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 027 DAN 007 013 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 027 DAN 007 014 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. 027 DAN 007 015 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 027 DAN 007 016 I came near to one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. 027 DAN 007 017 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 027 DAN 007 018 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 027 DAN 007 019 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the remainder with his feet; 027 DAN 007 020 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 027 DAN 007 021 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 027 DAN 007 022 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 027 DAN 007 023 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 027 DAN 007 024 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 027 DAN 007 025 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 027 DAN 007 026 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end. 027 DAN 007 027 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. 027 DAN 007 028 Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart. 027 DAN 008 001 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first. 027 DAN 008 002 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river Ulai. 027 DAN 008 003 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. 027 DAN 008 004 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. 027 DAN 008 005 And as I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 027 DAN 008 006 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power. 027 DAN 008 007 And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 027 DAN 008 008 Therefore the male goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. 027 DAN 008 009 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 027 DAN 008 010 And it grew great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 027 DAN 008 011 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 027 DAN 008 012 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it continued, and prospered. 027 DAN 008 013 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint who spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 027 DAN 008 014 And he said to me, Until two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 027 DAN 008 015 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man. 027 DAN 008 016 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. 027 DAN 008 017 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. 027 DAN 008 018 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. 027 DAN 008 019 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. 027 DAN 008 020 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 027 DAN 008 021 And the rough goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 027 DAN 008 022 Now that being broken, though four stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. 027 DAN 008 023 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 027 DAN 008 024 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and continue, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 027 DAN 008 025 And through his policy also he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. 027 DAN 008 026 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: therefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. 027 DAN 008 027 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. 027 DAN 009 001 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; 027 DAN 009 002 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. 027 DAN 009 003 And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: 027 DAN 009 004 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; 027 DAN 009 005 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: 027 DAN 009 006 Neither have we hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 027 DAN 009 007 O Lord, righteousness belongeth to thee, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries to which thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. 027 DAN 009 008 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. 027 DAN 009 009 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 027 DAN 009 010 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 027 DAN 009 011 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. 027 DAN 009 012 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven it hath not been done as it hath been done upon Jerusalem. 027 DAN 009 013 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. 027 DAN 009 014 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we have not obeyed his voice. 027 DAN 009 015 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast made thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 027 DAN 009 016 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people have become a reproach to all that are about us. 027 DAN 009 017 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake. 027 DAN 009 018 O my God, incline thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. 027 DAN 009 019 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thy own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. 027 DAN 009 020 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; 027 DAN 009 021 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. 027 DAN 009 022 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. 027 DAN 009 023 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. 027 DAN 009 024 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 027 DAN 009 025 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 027 DAN 009 026 And after sixty and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined. 027 DAN 009 027 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. 027 DAN 010 001 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. 027 DAN 010 002 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. 027 DAN 010 003 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 027 DAN 010 004 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; 027 DAN 010 005 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 027 DAN 010 006 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. 027 DAN 010 007 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 027 DAN 010 008 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. 027 DAN 010 009 Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. 027 DAN 010 010 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 027 DAN 010 011 And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for to thee I am now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling. 027 DAN 010 012 Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 027 DAN 010 013 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 027 DAN 010 014 Now I have come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. 027 DAN 010 015 And when he had spoken such words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. 027 DAN 010 016 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. 027 DAN 010 017 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. 027 DAN 010 018 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 027 DAN 010 019 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be to thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. 027 DAN 010 020 Then said he, Knowest thou for what cause I come to thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come. 027 DAN 010 021 But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince. 027 DAN 011 001 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 027 DAN 011 002 And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. 027 DAN 011 003 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 027 DAN 011 004 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those. 027 DAN 011 005 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 027 DAN 011 006 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. 027 DAN 011 007 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, who shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: 027 DAN 011 008 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. 027 DAN 011 009 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land. 027 DAN 011 010 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress. 027 DAN 011 011 And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. 027 DAN 011 012 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it. 027 DAN 011 013 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches. 027 DAN 011 014 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 027 DAN 011 015 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a bank, and take the most fortified cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand. 027 DAN 011 016 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. 027 DAN 011 017 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him. 027 DAN 011 018 After this shall he turn his face to the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. 027 DAN 011 019 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. 027 DAN 011 020 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. 027 DAN 011 021 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 027 DAN 011 022 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflowed from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. 027 DAN 011 023 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 027 DAN 011 024 He shall enter peaceably even upon the best places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall plot against the strong holds, even for a time. 027 DAN 011 025 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall plot against him. 027 DAN 011 026 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 027 DAN 011 027 And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 027 DAN 011 028 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. 027 DAN 011 029 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 027 DAN 011 030 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 027 DAN 011 031 And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. 027 DAN 011 032 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 027 DAN 011 033 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 027 DAN 011 034 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall join with them with flatteries. 027 DAN 011 035 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 027 DAN 011 036 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that which is determined shall be done. 027 DAN 011 037 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 027 DAN 011 038 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 027 DAN 011 039 Thus shall he do in the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. 027 DAN 011 040 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through. 027 DAN 011 041 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 027 DAN 011 042 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 027 DAN 011 043 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Cushites shall be at his steps. 027 DAN 011 044 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to sweep away many. 027 DAN 011 045 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. 027 DAN 012 001 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 027 DAN 012 002 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 027 DAN 012 003 And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 027 DAN 012 004 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 027 DAN 012 005 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood two others, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. 027 DAN 012 006 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? 027 DAN 012 007 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished the breaking up of the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. 027 DAN 012 008 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 027 DAN 012 009 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 027 DAN 012 010 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. 027 DAN 012 011 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 027 DAN 012 012 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 027 DAN 012 013 But go thou thy way till the end: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. # # BOOK 028 HOS Hosea Hosea 028 HOS 001 001 The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. 028 HOS 001 002 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take to thee a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry: for the land hath committed great harlotry, departing from the LORD. 028 HOS 001 003 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; who conceived, and bore him a son. 028 HOS 001 004 And the LORD said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. 028 HOS 001 005 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. 028 HOS 001 006 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. 028 HOS 001 007 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. 028 HOS 001 008 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son. 028 HOS 001 009 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. 028 HOS 001 010 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said to them, Ye are the sons of the living God. 028 HOS 001 011 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up from the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 028 HOS 002 001 Say ye to your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. 028 HOS 002 002 Contend with your mother, contend: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her harlotry out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; 028 HOS 002 003 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst. 028 HOS 002 004 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of harlotry. 028 HOS 002 005 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink. 028 HOS 002 006 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. 028 HOS 002 007 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. 028 HOS 002 008 For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. 028 HOS 002 009 Therefore will I return, and take away my grain in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. 028 HOS 002 010 And now will I uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand. 028 HOS 002 011 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. 028 HOS 002 012 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. 028 HOS 002 013 And I will judge her for the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the LORD. 028 HOS 002 014 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak kindly to her. 028 HOS 002 015 And I will give her her vineyards there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came from the land of Egypt. 028 HOS 002 016 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. 028 HOS 002 017 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. 028 HOS 002 018 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down in safety. 028 HOS 002 019 And I will betroth thee to me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 028 HOS 002 020 I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. 028 HOS 002 021 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; 028 HOS 002 022 And the earth shall hear the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. 028 HOS 002 023 And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them who were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. 028 HOS 003 001 Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. 028 HOS 003 002 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 028 HOS 003 003 And I said to her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee. 028 HOS 003 004 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: 028 HOS 003 005 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days. 028 HOS 004 001 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 028 HOS 004 002 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 028 HOS 004 003 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. 028 HOS 004 004 Yet let no man contend, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that contend with the priest. 028 HOS 004 005 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. 028 HOS 004 006 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 028 HOS 004 007 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. 028 HOS 004 008 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 028 HOS 004 009 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 028 HOS 004 010 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit harlotry, and shall not increase: because they have stopped taking heed to to the LORD. 028 HOS 004 011 Harlotry and wine and new wine take away the heart. 028 HOS 004 012 My people ask counsel at their idols, and their staff declareth to them: for the spirit of harlotry hath caused them to err, and they have played the harlot departing from under their God. 028 HOS 004 013 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because their shadow is pleasant: therefore your daughters shall commit harlotry, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 028 HOS 004 014 I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for they themselves are separated with harlots, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall. 028 HOS 004 015 Though thou, Israel, playest the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye to Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth. 028 HOS 004 016 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place. 028 HOS 004 017 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 028 HOS 004 018 Their drink is sour: they have committed harlotry continually: her rulers with love shame more than glory. 028 HOS 004 019 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. 028 HOS 005 001 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 028 HOS 005 002 And the revolters are gone deeply into slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. 028 HOS 005 003 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest harlotry, and Israel is defiled. 028 HOS 005 004 They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of harlotry is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD. 028 HOS 005 005 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. 028 HOS 005 006 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them. 028 HOS 005 007 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. 028 HOS 005 008 Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. 028 HOS 005 009 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. 028 HOS 005 010 The princes of Judah were like them that remove a landmark: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 028 HOS 005 011 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. 028 HOS 005 012 Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 028 HOS 005 013 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet he could not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 028 HOS 005 014 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. 028 HOS 005 015 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. 028 HOS 006 001 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 028 HOS 006 002 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 028 HOS 006 003 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth. 028 HOS 006 004 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 028 HOS 006 005 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 028 HOS 006 006 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 028 HOS 006 007 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 028 HOS 006 008 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. 028 HOS 006 009 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. 028 HOS 006 010 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 028 HOS 006 011 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. 028 HOS 007 001 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers plunder outside. 028 HOS 007 002 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them on every side; they are before my face. 028 HOS 007 003 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. 028 HOS 007 004 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it is leavened. 028 HOS 007 005 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. 028 HOS 007 006 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. 028 HOS 007 007 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth to me. 028 HOS 007 008 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 028 HOS 007 009 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. 028 HOS 007 010 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this. 028 HOS 007 011 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 028 HOS 007 012 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard. 028 HOS 007 013 Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. 028 HOS 007 014 And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they wailed upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and wine, and they rebel against me. 028 HOS 007 015 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. 028 HOS 007 016 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. 028 HOS 008 001 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. 028 HOS 008 002 Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee. 028 HOS 008 003 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. 028 HOS 008 004 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off. 028 HOS 008 005 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 028 HOS 008 006 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 028 HOS 008 007 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. 028 HOS 008 008 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure. 028 HOS 008 009 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. 028 HOS 008 010 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. 028 HOS 008 011 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin. 028 HOS 008 012 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 028 HOS 008 013 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge their sins: they shall return to Egypt. 028 HOS 008 014 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces. 028 HOS 009 001 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast played the harlot from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every threshingfloor. 028 HOS 009 002 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 028 HOS 009 003 They shall not dwell in the LORD’S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. 028 HOS 009 004 They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD. 028 HOS 009 005 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD? 028 HOS 009 006 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. 028 HOS 009 007 The days of punishment are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred. 028 HOS 009 008 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God. 028 HOS 009 009 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will judge their sins. 028 HOS 009 010 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved. 028 HOS 009 011 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. 028 HOS 009 012 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! 028 HOS 009 013 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. 028 HOS 009 014 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 028 HOS 009 015 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters. 028 HOS 009 016 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. 028 HOS 009 017 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations. 028 HOS 010 001 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made beautiful images. 028 HOS 010 002 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. 028 HOS 010 003 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us? 028 HOS 010 004 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. 028 HOS 010 005 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests that rejoiced on it, for its glory, because it is departed from it. 028 HOS 010 006 It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. 028 HOS 010 007 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. 028 HOS 010 008 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. 028 HOS 010 009 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. 028 HOS 010 010 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. 028 HOS 010 011 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the grain; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods. 028 HOS 010 012 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he shall come and rain righteousness upon you. 028 HOS 010 013 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou hast trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. 028 HOS 010 014 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. 028 HOS 010 015 So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off. 028 HOS 011 001 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. 028 HOS 011 002 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. 028 HOS 011 003 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. 028 HOS 011 004 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food before them. 028 HOS 011 005 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. 028 HOS 011 006 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. 028 HOS 011 007 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. 028 HOS 011 008 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together. 028 HOS 011 009 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. 028 HOS 011 010 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west. 028 HOS 011 011 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD. 028 HOS 011 012 Ephraim surroundeth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints. 028 HOS 012 001 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily multiplieth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. 028 HOS 012 002 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. 028 HOS 012 003 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: 028 HOS 012 004 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us; 028 HOS 012 005 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. 028 HOS 012 006 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. 028 HOS 012 007 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. 028 HOS 012 008 And Ephraim said, Yet I have become rich, I have found for myself substance: in all my labours they shall find no iniquity in me that were sin. 028 HOS 012 009 And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast. 028 HOS 012 010 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. 028 HOS 012 011 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. 028 HOS 012 012 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. 028 HOS 012 013 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. 028 HOS 012 014 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return to him. 028 HOS 013 001 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. 028 HOS 013 002 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. 028 HOS 013 003 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the smoke from the chimney. 028 HOS 013 004 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour besides me. 028 HOS 013 005 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 028 HOS 013 006 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. 028 HOS 013 007 Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: 028 HOS 013 008 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the fat of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. 028 HOS 013 009 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help. 028 HOS 013 010 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? 028 HOS 013 011 I gave thee a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath. 028 HOS 013 012 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. 028 HOS 013 013 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. 028 HOS 013 014 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585) 028 HOS 013 015 Though he is fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall plunder the treasure of all pleasant vessels. 028 HOS 013 016 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. 028 HOS 014 001 O Israel, return to the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thy iniquity. 028 HOS 014 002 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. 028 HOS 014 003 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. 028 HOS 014 004 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him. 028 HOS 014 005 I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. 028 HOS 014 006 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon. 028 HOS 014 007 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and grow as the vine: the scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon. 028 HOS 014 008 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols?

Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? 029 JOE 001 003 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. 029 JOE 001 004 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. 029 JOE 001 005 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. 029 JOE 001 006 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. 029 JOE 001 007 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath stripped it bare, and cast it away; its branches are made white. 029 JOE 001 008 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. 029 JOE 001 009 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’S ministers, mourn. 029 JOE 001 010 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the grain is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. 029 JOE 001 011 Be ye ashamed, O ye farmers; wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field hath perished. 029 JOE 001 012 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. 029 JOE 001 013 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: wail, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withheld from the house of your God. 029 JOE 001 014 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry to the LORD, 029 JOE 001 015 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. 029 JOE 001 016 Is not the food cut off before our eyes, and joy and gladness from the house of our God? 029 JOE 001 017 The seed hath perished under their clods, the storehouses are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the grain is withered. 029 JOE 001 018 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 029 JOE 001 019 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. 029 JOE 001 020 The beasts of the field cry also to thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. 029 JOE 002 001 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is near at hand; 029 JOE 002 002 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 029 JOE 002 003 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 029 JOE 002 004 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 029 JOE 002 005 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 029 JOE 002 006 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 029 JOE 002 007 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 029 JOE 002 008 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 029 JOE 002 009 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 029 JOE 002 010 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: 029 JOE 002 011 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? 029 JOE 002 012 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 029 JOE 002 013 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth of the evil. 029 JOE 002 014 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God? 029 JOE 002 015 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 029 JOE 002 016 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that nurse at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her room. 029 JOE 002 017 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God? 029 JOE 002 018 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 029 JOE 002 019 And the LORD will answer and say to his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied with it: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 029 JOE 002 020 But I will remove far from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his rear toward the west sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. 029 JOE 002 021 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. 029 JOE 002 022 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. 029 JOE 002 023 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 029 JOE 002 024 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. 029 JOE 002 025 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 029 JOE 002 026 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 029 JOE 002 027 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. 029 JOE 002 028 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 029 JOE 002 029 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 029 JOE 002 030 And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 029 JOE 002 031 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD shall come. 029 JOE 002 032 And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. 029 JOE 003 001 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 029 JOE 003 002 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will judge them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land. 029 JOE 003 003 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. 029 JOE 003 004 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompence upon your own head; 029 JOE 003 005 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my precious things: 029 JOE 003 006 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold to the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. 029 JOE 003 007 Behold, I will raise them out of the place where ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: 029 JOE 003 008 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it. 029 JOE 003 009 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 029 JOE 003 010 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 029 JOE 003 011 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together all around: there cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 029 JOE 003 012 Let the heathen be awakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen on every side. 029 JOE 003 013 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, go down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 029 JOE 003 014 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 029 JOE 003 015 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 029 JOE 003 016 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 029 JOE 003 017 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. 029 JOE 003 018 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 029 JOE 003 019 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 029 JOE 003 020 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 029 JOE 003 021 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. # # BOOK 030 AMO Amos Amos 030 AMO 001 001 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 030 AMO 001 002 And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither. 030 AMO 001 003 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron: 030 AMO 001 004 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad. 030 AMO 001 005 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 001 006 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom: 030 AMO 001 007 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces: 030 AMO 001 008 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD. 030 AMO 001 009 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant: 030 AMO 001 010 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces. 030 AMO 001 011 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: 030 AMO 001 012 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. 030 AMO 001 013 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border: 030 AMO 001 014 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind: 030 AMO 001 015 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 002 001 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime: 030 AMO 002 002 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet: 030 AMO 002 003 And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it and will slay all its princes with him, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 002 004 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked: 030 AMO 002 005 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem. 030 AMO 002 006 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away their punishment; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; 030 AMO 002 007 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in to the same maid, to profane my holy name: 030 AMO 002 008 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god. 030 AMO 002 009 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 030 AMO 002 010 Also I brought you from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 030 AMO 002 011 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD. 030 AMO 002 012 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 030 AMO 002 013 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. 030 AMO 002 014 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: 030 AMO 002 015 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself. 030 AMO 002 016 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 003 001 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 030 AMO 003 002 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. 030 AMO 003 003 Can two walk together, except they are agreed? 030 AMO 003 004 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he hath taken nothing? 030 AMO 003 005 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no trap is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? 030 AMO 003 006 Shalt a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? 030 AMO 003 007 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret to his servants the prophets. 030 AMO 003 008 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? 030 AMO 003 009 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst of it, and the oppressed in the midst of it. 030 AMO 003 010 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 030 AMO 003 011 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even on every side the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered. 030 AMO 003 012 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. 030 AMO 003 013 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, 030 AMO 003 014 That in the day that I shall judge the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also judge the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. 030 AMO 003 015 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 001 Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. 030 AMO 004 002 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks. 030 AMO 004 003 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 004 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: 030 AMO 004 005 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and declare the free offerings: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 030 AMO 004 006 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 007 And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece on which it rained not withered. 030 AMO 004 008 So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 009 I have smitten you with blighting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 010 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 011 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 012 Therefore thus will I do to thee, O Israel: and because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 030 AMO 004 013 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth to man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name. 030 AMO 005 001 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. 030 AMO 005 002 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. 030 AMO 005 003 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel. 030 AMO 005 004 For thus saith the LORD to the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: 030 AMO 005 005 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought. 030 AMO 005 006 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. 030 AMO 005 007 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth, 030 AMO 005 008 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: 030 AMO 005 009 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. 030 AMO 005 010 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 030 AMO 005 011 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. 030 AMO 005 012 For I know your many transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. 030 AMO 005 013 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. 030 AMO 005 014 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 030 AMO 005 015 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. 030 AMO 005 016 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing. 030 AMO 005 017 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 005 018 Woe to you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. 030 AMO 005 019 As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 030 AMO 005 020 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 030 AMO 005 021 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not take delight in your solemn assemblies. 030 AMO 005 022 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 030 AMO 005 023 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy harps. 030 AMO 005 024 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. 030 AMO 005 025 Have ye offered to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 030 AMO 005 026 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Molech and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. 030 AMO 005 027 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts. 030 AMO 006 001 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! 030 AMO 006 002 Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from there go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? 030 AMO 006 003 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; 030 AMO 006 004 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall; 030 AMO 006 005 That chant to the sound of the harp, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David; 030 AMO 006 006 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 030 AMO 006 007 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. 030 AMO 006 008 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will deliver up the city with all its abundance. 030 AMO 006 009 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die. 030 AMO 006 010 And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is inside of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. 030 AMO 006 011 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 030 AMO 006 012 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock: 030 AMO 006 013 Ye who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? 030 AMO 006 014 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness. 030 AMO 007 001 Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings. 030 AMO 007 002 And it came to pass, that when they had stopped eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 030 AMO 007 003 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 007 004 Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part. 030 AMO 007 005 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 030 AMO 007 006 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. 030 AMO 007 007 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 030 AMO 007 008 And the LORD said to me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: 030 AMO 007 009 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. 030 AMO 007 010 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. 030 AMO 007 011 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. 030 AMO 007 012 Also Amaziah said to Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 030 AMO 007 013 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the king’s court. 030 AMO 007 014 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit: 030 AMO 007 015 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel. 030 AMO 007 016 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 030 AMO 007 017 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go from his land into captivity. 030 AMO 008 001 Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 030 AMO 008 002 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 030 AMO 008 003 And the songs of the temple shall be wailing in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 030 AMO 008 004 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 030 AMO 008 005 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 030 AMO 008 006 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and even sell the refuse of the wheat? 030 AMO 008 007 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 030 AMO 008 008 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth in it? and it shall rise up wholly as a river; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the river of Egypt. 030 AMO 008 009 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: 030 AMO 008 010 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end of it as a bitter day. 030 AMO 008 011 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 030 AMO 008 012 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 030 AMO 008 013 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 030 AMO 008 014 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise again. 030 AMO 009 001 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. 030 AMO 009 002 Though they dig into hell, from there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there will I bring them down: (Sheol h7585) 030 AMO 009 003 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they are hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, from there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: 030 AMO 009 004 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. 030 AMO 009 005 And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell in it shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a river; and shall be drowned, as by the river of Egypt. 030 AMO 009 006 It is he that buildeth his chambers in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. 030 AMO 009 007 Are ye not as children of the Cushites to me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel from the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? 030 AMO 009 008 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 009 009 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the smallest grain fall upon the earth. 030 AMO 009 010 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor fall upon us. 030 AMO 009 011 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up its breaches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 030 AMO 009 012 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, who are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. 030 AMO 009 013 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. 030 AMO 009 014 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 030 AMO 009 015 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. # # BOOK 031 OBA Obadiah Obadiah 031 OBA 001 001 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. 031 OBA 001 002 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. 031 OBA 001 003 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 031 OBA 001 004 Though thou shalt exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou shalt set thy nest among the stars, from there will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. 031 OBA 001 005 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes? 031 OBA 001 006 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought! 031 OBA 001 007 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a trap under thee: there is no understanding in him. 031 OBA 001 008 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 031 OBA 001 009 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 031 OBA 001 010 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 031 OBA 001 011 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 031 OBA 001 012 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 031 OBA 001 013 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; 031 OBA 001 014 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress. 031 OBA 001 015 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head. 031 OBA 001 016 For as ye drank upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. 031 OBA 001 017 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 031 OBA 001 018 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it. 031 OBA 001 019 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 031 OBA 001 020 And the captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. 031 OBA 001 021 And deliverers shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S. # # BOOK 032 JON Jonah Jonah 032 JON 001 001 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 032 JON 001 002 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 032 JON 001 003 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. 032 JON 001 004 But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was in danger of being broken. 032 JON 001 005 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god, and cast the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah had gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 032 JON 001 006 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, it may be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. 032 JON 001 007 And they said every one to another, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 032 JON 001 008 Then said they to him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thy occupation? and from where comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou? 032 JON 001 009 And he said to them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land. 032 JON 001 010 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. 032 JON 001 011 Then said they to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea raged, and was tempestuous. 032 JON 001 012 And he said to them, Take me, and cast me into the sea; so shall the sea be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. 032 JON 001 013 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea raged, and was tempestuous against them. 032 JON 001 014 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee. 032 JON 001 015 So they took Jonah, and cast him into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. 032 JON 001 016 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows. 032 JON 001 017 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. 032 JON 002 001 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly, 032 JON 002 002 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585) 032 JON 002 003 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods surrounded me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. 032 JON 002 004 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. 032 JON 002 005 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head. 032 JON 002 006 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. 032 JON 002 007 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple. 032 JON 002 008 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 032 JON 002 009 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. 032 JON 002 010 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 032 JON 003 001 And the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, 032 JON 003 002 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the preaching that I bid thee. 032 JON 003 003 So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 032 JON 003 004 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 032 JON 003 005 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 032 JON 003 006 For word came to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 032 JON 003 007 And he caused it to be proclaimed and declared through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 032 JON 003 008 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 032 JON 003 009 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 032 JON 003 010 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do to them; and he did it not. 032 JON 004 001 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 032 JON 004 002 And he prayed to the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest of the evil. 032 JON 004 003 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 032 JON 004 004 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? 032 JON 004 005 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. 032 JON 004 006 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. 032 JON 004 007 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 032 JON 004 008 And it came to pass, when the sun rose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. 032 JON 004 009 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death. 032 JON 004 010 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 032 JON 004 011 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than an hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also many cattle? # # BOOK 033 MIC Micah Micah 033 MIC 001 001 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. 033 MIC 001 002 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that is in it: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. 033 MIC 001 003 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 033 MIC 001 004 And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place. 033 MIC 001 005 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 033 MIC 001 006 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her foundations. 033 MIC 001 007 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered it from the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. 033 MIC 001 008 Therefore I will wail and weep, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. 033 MIC 001 009 For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 033 MIC 001 010 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. 033 MIC 001 011 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive from you his standing. 033 MIC 001 012 For the inhabitant of Maroth became weak waiting for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem. 033 MIC 001 013 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. 033 MIC 001 014 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. 033 MIC 001 015 Yet will I bring an heir to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel. 033 MIC 001 016 Make thee bald, and cut off the hair of thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee. 033 MIC 002 001 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 033 MIC 002 002 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 033 MIC 002 003 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil. 033 MIC 002 004 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a grievous lamentation, and say, We are utterly wasted: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields. 033 MIC 002 005 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD. 033 MIC 002 006 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. 033 MIC 002 007 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD shortened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? 033 MIC 002 008 Even of late my people hath risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse to war. 033 MIC 002 009 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. 033 MIC 002 010 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a grievous destruction. 033 MIC 002 011 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood doth lie, saying, I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. 033 MIC 002 012 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 033 MIC 002 013 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and have gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them. 033 MIC 003 001 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? 033 MIC 003 002 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones; 033 MIC 003 003 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 033 MIC 003 004 Then shall they cry to the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. 033 MIC 003 005 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. 033 MIC 003 006 Therefore night shall be to you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark to you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. 033 MIC 003 007 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. 033 MIC 003 008 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. 033 MIC 003 009 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 033 MIC 003 010 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 033 MIC 003 011 Her heads judge for reward, and her priests teach for hire, and her prophets divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? no evil can come upon us. 033 MIC 003 012 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. 033 MIC 004 001 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mount of the house of the LORD shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it. 033 MIC 004 002 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 033 MIC 004 003 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 033 MIC 004 004 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. 033 MIC 004 005 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. 033 MIC 004 006 In that day, saith the LORD, I will assemble her that is lame, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 033 MIC 004 007 And I will make her that limped a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. 033 MIC 004 008 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 033 MIC 004 009 Now why dost thou cry aloud? is there no king in thee? hath thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 033 MIC 004 010 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth from the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thy enemies. 033 MIC 004 011 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. 033 MIC 004 012 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as sheaves into the floor. 033 MIC 004 013 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth. 033 MIC 005 001 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 033 MIC 005 002 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou art little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 033 MIC 005 003 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel. 033 MIC 005 004 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great to the ends of the earth. 033 MIC 005 005 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. 033 MIC 005 006 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its entrances: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. 033 MIC 005 007 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. 033 MIC 005 008 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he goeth through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. 033 MIC 005 009 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thy adversaries, and all thy enemies shall be cut off. 033 MIC 005 010 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: 033 MIC 005 011 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: 033 MIC 005 012 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: 033 MIC 005 013 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thy hands. 033 MIC 005 014 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 033 MIC 005 015 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. 033 MIC 006 001 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. 033 MIC 006 002 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel. 033 MIC 006 003 O my people, what have I done to thee? and how have I wearied thee? testify against me. 033 MIC 006 004 For I brought thee out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee from the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 033 MIC 006 005 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD. 033 MIC 006 006 How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 033 MIC 006 007 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 033 MIC 006 008 He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what the LORD doth require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 033 MIC 006 009 The LORD’S voice crieth to the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. 033 MIC 006 010 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? 033 MIC 006 011 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? 033 MIC 006 012 For her rich men are full of violence, and her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 033 MIC 006 013 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins. 033 MIC 006 014 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword. 033 MIC 006 015 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine. 033 MIC 006 016 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and thy inhabitants an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people. 033 MIC 007 001 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. 033 MIC 007 002 The good man hath perished from the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. 033 MIC 007 003 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they weave it together. 033 MIC 007 004 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy punishment cometh; now shall be their perplexity. 033 MIC 007 005 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 033 MIC 007 006 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. 033 MIC 007 007 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 033 MIC 007 008 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me. 033 MIC 007 009 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he shall plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. 033 MIC 007 010 Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. 033 MIC 007 011 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. 033 MIC 007 012 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. 033 MIC 007 013 Afterwards the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings. 033 MIC 007 014 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, who dwell solitarily in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. 033 MIC 007 015 According to the days of thy departure from the land of Egypt will I show to him marvellous things. 033 MIC 007 016 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. 033 MIC 007 017 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee. 033 MIC 007 018 Who is a God like thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. 033 MIC 007 019 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. 033 MIC 007 020 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old. # # BOOK 034 NAH Nahum Nahum 034 NAH 001 001 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 034 NAH 001 002 God is jealous, and the LORD avengeth; the LORD avengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 034 NAH 001 003 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 034 NAH 001 004 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. 034 NAH 001 005 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, even the world, and all that dwell in it. 034 NAH 001 006 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. 034 NAH 001 007 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. 034 NAH 001 008 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of its place, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. 034 NAH 001 009 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. 034 NAH 001 010 For while they are entangled together as thorns, and while they are drunk as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. 034 NAH 001 011 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor. 034 NAH 001 012 Thus saith the LORD; Though they are quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. 034 NAH 001 013 For now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder. 034 NAH 001 014 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile. 034 NAH 001 015 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. 034 NAH 002 001 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. 034 NAH 002 002 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. 034 NAH 002 003 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. 034 NAH 002 004 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. 034 NAH 002 005 He shall recount his nobles: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to her wall, and the defence shall be prepared. 034 NAH 002 006 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved. 034 NAH 002 007 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts. 034 NAH 002 008 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back. 034 NAH 002 009 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is no end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture. 034 NAH 002 010 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. 034 NAH 002 011 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid? 034 NAH 002 012 The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with torn flesh. 034 NAH 002 013 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard. 034 NAH 003 001 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not; 034 NAH 003 002 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots. 034 NAH 003 003 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of dead bodies; and there is no end of their bodies; they stumble upon their bodies: 034 NAH 003 004 Because of the multitude of the harlotries of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her harlotries, and families through her witchcrafts. 034 NAH 003 005 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will remove thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. 034 NAH 003 006 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock. 034 NAH 003 007 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? Where shall I seek comforters for thee? 034 NAH 003 008 Art thou better than populous No, that dwelt among the rivers, that had the waters around it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea? 034 NAH 003 009 Cush and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers. 034 NAH 003 010 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains. 034 NAH 003 011 Thou also shalt be drunk: thou shalt be hidden, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy. 034 NAH 003 012 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater. 034 NAH 003 013 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars. 034 NAH 003 014 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln. 034 NAH 003 015 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts. 034 NAH 003 016 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away. 034 NAH 003 017 Thy princes are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which settle in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. 034 NAH 003 018 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them. 034 NAH 003 019 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the report of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually? # # BOOK 035 HAB Habakkuk Habakkuk 035 HAB 001 001 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw. 035 HAB 001 002 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out to thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! 035 HAB 001 003 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for plundering and violence are before me: and there are that raise strife and contention. 035 HAB 001 004 Therefore the law is feeble, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth surround the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted 035 HAB 001 005 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. 035 HAB 001 006 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs. 035 HAB 001 007 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves. 035 HAB 001 008 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. 035 HAB 001 009 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captives as the sand. 035 HAB 001 010 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn to them: they shall laugh at every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. 035 HAB 001 011 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power to his god. 035 HAB 001 012 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? we shall not die.

Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that is waste, and ye run every man to his own house. 037 HAG 001 010 Therefore the heavens over you withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth her fruit. 037 HAG 001 011 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. 037 HAG 001 012 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD. 037 HAG 001 013 Then spoke Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message to the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 037 HAG 001 014 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 037 HAG 001 015 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. 037 HAG 002 001 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, 037 HAG 002 002 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 037 HAG 002 003 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? 037 HAG 002 004 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: 037 HAG 002 005 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. 037 HAG 002 006 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 037 HAG 002 007 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 037 HAG 002 008 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 037 HAG 002 009 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. 037 HAG 002 010 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 037 HAG 002 011 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 037 HAG 002 012 If one shall bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt shall touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. 037 HAG 002 013 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body shall touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 037 HAG 002 014 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. 037 HAG 002 015 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD: 037 HAG 002 016 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the winepress to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. 037 HAG 002 017 I smote you with blighting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD. 037 HAG 002 018 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid, consider it. 037 HAG 002 019 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you. 037 HAG 002 020 And again the word of the LORD came to Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, 037 HAG 002 021 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 037 HAG 002 022 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. 037 HAG 002 023 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. # # BOOK 038 ZEC Zechariah Zechariah 038 ZEC 001 001 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 038 ZEC 001 002 The LORD hath been very angry with your fathers. 038 ZEC 001 003 Therefore say thou to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye to me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn to you, saith the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 001 004 Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken to me, saith the LORD. 038 ZEC 001 005 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? 038 ZEC 001 006 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, As the LORD of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us. 038 ZEC 001 007 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 038 ZEC 001 008 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. 038 ZEC 001 009 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these are. 038 ZEC 001 010 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 038 ZEC 001 011 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. 038 ZEC 001 012 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years? 038 ZEC 001 013 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comforting words. 038 ZEC 001 014 So the angel that talked with me said to me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 038 ZEC 001 015 And I am very very angry with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. 038 ZEC 001 016 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 001 017 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 001 018 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 038 ZEC 001 019 And I said to the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 001 020 And the LORD showed me four craftsmen. 038 ZEC 001 021 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head: but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. 038 ZEC 002 001 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 038 ZEC 002 002 Then said I, Where goest thou? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth, and what is its length. 038 ZEC 002 003 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 038 ZEC 002 004 And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it: 038 ZEC 002 005 For I, saith the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire on every side, and will be the glory in the midst of her. 038 ZEC 002 006 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. 038 ZEC 002 007 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 038 ZEC 002 008 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me to the nations which wasted you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. 038 ZEC 002 009 For, behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. 038 ZEC 002 010 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 038 ZEC 002 011 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to thee. 038 ZEC 002 012 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 038 ZEC 002 013 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. 038 ZEC 003 001 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. 038 ZEC 003 002 And the LORD said to Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 038 ZEC 003 003 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 038 ZEC 003 004 And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused thy iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 038 ZEC 003 005 And I said, Let them set a clean mitre upon his head. So they set a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by. 038 ZEC 003 006 And the angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying, 038 ZEC 003 007 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. 038 ZEC 003 008 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy companions that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. 038 ZEC 003 009 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving of it, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 038 ZEC 003 010 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. 038 ZEC 004 001 And the angel that talked with me came again, and woke me, as a man that is awakened from his sleep, 038 ZEC 004 002 And said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which were upon the top of it: 038 ZEC 004 003 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side. 038 ZEC 004 004 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 038 ZEC 004 005 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord. 038 ZEC 004 006 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 004 007 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth its headstone with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace to it. 038 ZEC 004 008 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 038 ZEC 004 009 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you. 038 ZEC 004 010 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. 038 ZEC 004 011 Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon its left side? 038 ZEC 004 012 And I answered again, and said to him, What are these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 038 ZEC 004 013 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord. 038 ZEC 004 014 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. 038 ZEC 005 001 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying scroll. 038 ZEC 005 002 And he said to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits. 038 ZEC 005 003 Then said he to me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. 038 ZEC 005 004 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones. 038 ZEC 005 005 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thy eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 038 ZEC 005 006 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. 038 ZEC 005 007 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 038 ZEC 005 008 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth. 038 ZEC 005 009 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 038 ZEC 005 010 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah? 038 ZEC 005 011 And he said to me, To build for it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. 038 ZEC 006 001 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 038 ZEC 006 002 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 038 ZEC 006 003 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot spotted and bay horses. 038 ZEC 006 004 Then I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 038 ZEC 006 005 And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 038 ZEC 006 006 The black horses which are in it go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth toward the south country. 038 ZEC 006 007 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Go from here, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 038 ZEC 006 008 Then he cried upon me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. 038 ZEC 006 009 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 038 ZEC 006 010 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, who are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 038 ZEC 006 011 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 038 ZEC 006 012 And speak to him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: 038 ZEC 006 013 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. 038 ZEC 006 014 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 038 ZEC 006 015 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. 038 ZEC 007 001 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu; 038 ZEC 007 002 When they had sent to the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD, 038 ZEC 007 003 And to speak to the priests who were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years? 038 ZEC 007 004 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts to me, saying, 038 ZEC 007 005 Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast to me, even to me? 038 ZEC 007 006 And when ye ate, and when ye drank, did ye not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? 038 ZEC 007 007 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around it, when men inhabited the south and the plain? 038 ZEC 007 008 And the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying, 038 ZEC 007 009 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 038 ZEC 007 010 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. 038 ZEC 007 011 But they refused to hearken, and withdrew the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 038 ZEC 007 012 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 007 013 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: 038 ZEC 007 014 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate. 038 ZEC 008 001 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 038 ZEC 008 002 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. 038 ZEC 008 003 Thus saith the LORD; I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. 038 ZEC 008 004 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 038 ZEC 008 005 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 038 ZEC 008 006 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it is marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in my eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 008 007 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; 038 ZEC 008 008 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. 038 ZEC 008 009 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who were in the day when the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. 038 ZEC 008 010 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour. 038 ZEC 008 011 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 008 012 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. 038 ZEC 008 013 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strong. 038 ZEC 008 014 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not: 038 ZEC 008 015 So again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 038 ZEC 008 016 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: 038 ZEC 008 017 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. 038 ZEC 008 018 And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 038 ZEC 008 019 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace. 038 ZEC 008 020 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 038 ZEC 008 021 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. 038 ZEC 008 022 And many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. 038 ZEC 008 023 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men out of all languages of the nations, shall take hold, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. 038 ZEC 009 001 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest of it: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD. 038 ZEC 009 002 And Hamath also shall border by it; Tyre, and Zidon, though it be very wise. 038 ZEC 009 003 And Tyre built herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 038 ZEC 009 004 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 038 ZEC 009 005 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 038 ZEC 009 006 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 038 ZEC 009 007 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. 038 ZEC 009 008 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with my eyes. 038 ZEC 009 009 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt the foal of a donkey. 038 ZEC 009 010 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. 038 ZEC 009 011 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit in which is no water. 038 ZEC 009 012 Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double to thee; 038 ZEC 009 013 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 038 ZEC 009 014 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 038 ZEC 009 015 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue the sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. 038 ZEC 009 016 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. 038 ZEC 009 017 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. 038 ZEC 010 001 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. 038 ZEC 010 002 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. 038 ZEC 010 003 My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his majestic horse in the battle. 038 ZEC 010 004 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 038 ZEC 010 005 And they shall be as mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. 038 ZEC 010 006 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them. 038 ZEC 010 007 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. 038 ZEC 010 008 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. 038 ZEC 010 009 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again. 038 ZEC 010 010 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. 038 ZEC 010 011 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart. 038 ZEC 010 012 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD. 038 ZEC 011 001 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 038 ZEC 011 002 Wail, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are laid waste: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down. 038 ZEC 011 003 There is a voice of the wailing of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is laid waste. 038 ZEC 011 004 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 038 ZEC 011 005 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. 038 ZEC 011 006 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. 038 ZEC 011 007 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staffs; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. 038 ZEC 011 008 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 038 ZEC 011 009 Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. 038 ZEC 011 010 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 038 ZEC 011 011 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD. 038 ZEC 011 012 And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 038 ZEC 011 013 And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a magnificent price that I was valued at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. 038 ZEC 011 014 Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 038 ZEC 011 015 And the LORD said to me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 038 ZEC 011 016 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 038 ZEC 011 017 Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be wholly dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. 038 ZEC 012 001 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. 038 ZEC 012 002 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the surrounding people, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 012 003 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered against it. 038 ZEC 012 004 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 038 ZEC 012 005 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God. 038 ZEC 012 006 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the surrounding people, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 012 007 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not magnify themselves against Judah. 038 ZEC 012 008 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. 038 ZEC 012 009 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 012 010 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 038 ZEC 012 011 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 038 ZEC 012 012 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 038 ZEC 012 013 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 038 ZEC 012 014 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart. 038 ZEC 013 001 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 038 ZEC 013 002 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. 038 ZEC 013 003 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say to him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. 038 ZEC 013 004 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: 038 ZEC 013 005 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 038 ZEC 013 006 And one shall say to him, What are these wounds in thy hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. 038 ZEC 013 007 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my companion, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. 038 ZEC 013 008 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts in it shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left in it. 038 ZEC 013 009 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. 038 ZEC 014 001 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 038 ZEC 014 002 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 038 ZEC 014 003 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 038 ZEC 014 004 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst of it toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 038 ZEC 014 005 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal: yea, ye shall flee, as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. 038 ZEC 014 006 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 038 ZEC 014 007 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening it shall be light. 038 ZEC 014 008 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 038 ZEC 014 009 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. 038 ZEC 014 010 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel to the king’s winepresses. 038 ZEC 014 011 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 038 ZEC 014 012 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 038 ZEC 014 013 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. 038 ZEC 014 014 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen on every side shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 038 ZEC 014 015 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. 038 ZEC 014 016 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 038 ZEC 014 017 And it shall be, that whoever will not come up of all the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 038 ZEC 014 018 And if the family of Egypt shall not go up, and shall not come, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, with which the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 038 ZEC 014 019 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 038 ZEC 014 020 In that day there shall be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS TO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 038 ZEC 014 021 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness to the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts. # # BOOK 039 MAL Malachi Malachi 039 MAL 001 001 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. 039 MAL 001 002 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, How hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 039 MAL 001 003 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 039 MAL 001 004 Though Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. 039 MAL 001 005 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. 039 MAL 001 006 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, How have we despised thy name? 039 MAL 001 007 Ye offer polluted bread upon my altar; and ye say, How have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 039 MAL 001 008 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now to thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 001 009 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious to us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your person? saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 001 010 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on my altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 039 MAL 001 011 For from the rising of the sun even to the setting of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 001 012 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit of it, even his food, is contemptible. 039 MAL 001 013 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have sneered at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this from your hand? saith the LORD. 039 MAL 001 014 But cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth to the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is terrible among the heathen. 039 MAL 002 001 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 039 MAL 002 002 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. 039 MAL 002 003 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. 039 MAL 002 004 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 002 005 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear which he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 039 MAL 002 006 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and turned many away from iniquity. 039 MAL 002 007 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 002 008 But ye have departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 002 009 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. 039 MAL 002 010 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? 039 MAL 002 011 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD whom he loved, and hath married the daughter of a foreign god. 039 MAL 002 012 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 002 013 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 039 MAL 002 014 Yet ye say, Why? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 039 MAL 002 015 And did he not make one? Yet had he the remnant of the spirit. And why one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 039 MAL 002 016 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. 039 MAL 002 017 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, How have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? 039 MAL 003 001 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 003 002 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: 039 MAL 003 003 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness. 039 MAL 003 004 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant to the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 039 MAL 003 005 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 003 006 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 039 MAL 003 007 Even from the days of your fathers ye have gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, How shall we return? 039 MAL 003 008 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 039 MAL 003 009 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 039 MAL 003 010 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 039 MAL 003 011 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 003 012 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 003 013 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 039 MAL 003 014 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? 039 MAL 003 015 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; even they that tempt God are delivered. 039 MAL 003 016 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 039 MAL 003 017 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 039 MAL 003 018 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. 039 MAL 004 001 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 039 MAL 004 002 But to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 039 MAL 004 003 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 004 004 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 039 MAL 004 005 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD: 039 MAL 004 006 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. # # BOOK 040 MAT Matthew Matthew 040 MAT 001 001 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 040 MAT 001 002 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; 040 MAT 001 003 And Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar; and Pharez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; 040 MAT 001 004 And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; 040 MAT 001 005 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 040 MAT 001 006 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah; 040 MAT 001 007 And Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; 040 MAT 001 008 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; 040 MAT 001 009 And Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; 040 MAT 001 010 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; 040 MAT 001 011 And Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 040 MAT 001 012 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; 040 MAT 001 013 And Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 040 MAT 001 014 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 040 MAT 001 015 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 040 MAT 001 016 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 040 MAT 001 017 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations. 040 MAT 001 018 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit. 040 MAT 001 019 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, purposed to put her away secretly. 040 MAT 001 020 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit. 040 MAT 001 021 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 040 MAT 001 022 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 001 023 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 040 MAT 001 024 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife: 040 MAT 001 025 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. 040 MAT 002 001 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 040 MAT 002 002 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him. 040 MAT 002 003 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 040 MAT 002 004 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he enquired of them where the Christ should be born. 040 MAT 002 005 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 040 MAT 002 006 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 040 MAT 002 007 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 040 MAT 002 008 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 040 MAT 002 009 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 040 MAT 002 010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 040 MAT 002 011 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 040 MAT 002 012 And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 040 MAT 002 013 And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 040 MAT 002 014 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 040 MAT 002 015 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 040 MAT 002 016 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its surrounding lands, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. 040 MAT 002 017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 002 018 In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 040 MAT 002 019 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 040 MAT 002 020 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the young child’s life. 040 MAT 002 021 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 040 MAT 002 022 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there: however, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 040 MAT 002 023 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. 040 MAT 003 001 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 040 MAT 003 002 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 040 MAT 003 003 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 040 MAT 003 004 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 040 MAT 003 005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region about Jordan, 040 MAT 003 006 And were baptized by him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 040 MAT 003 007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 040 MAT 003 008 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance: 040 MAT 003 009 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 040 MAT 003 010 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 040 MAT 003 011 I indeed baptize you in water to repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and in fire: 040 MAT 003 012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and gather his wheat into the barn; but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire. 040 MAT 003 013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 040 MAT 003 014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me? 040 MAT 003 015 And Jesus answering said to him, Permit it to be so now: for thus it is befitting for us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he allowed him. 040 MAT 003 016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 040 MAT 003 017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 040 MAT 004 001 Then was Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 040 MAT 004 002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry. 040 MAT 004 003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 040 MAT 004 004 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 040 MAT 004 005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 040 MAT 004 006 And saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall uphold, thee, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 040 MAT 004 007 Jesus said to him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 040 MAT 004 008 Again, the devil taketh him up upon an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 040 MAT 004 009 And saith to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 040 MAT 004 010 Then saith Jesus to him, Away with thee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 040 MAT 004 011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him. 040 MAT 004 012 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 040 MAT 004 013 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 040 MAT 004 014 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 004 015 The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 040 MAT 004 016 The people who sat in darkness saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death light hath shone. 040 MAT 004 017 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 040 MAT 004 018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen. 040 MAT 004 019 And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 040 MAT 004 020 And they immediately left their nets, and followed him. 040 MAT 004 021 And going on from there, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 040 MAT 004 022 And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him. 040 MAT 004 023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 040 MAT 004 024 And his fame spread throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were sick with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, and those who were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 040 MAT 004 025 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. 040 MAT 005 001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up to a mountain: and when he was seated, his disciples came to him: 040 MAT 005 002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 040 MAT 005 003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 005 004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 040 MAT 005 005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 040 MAT 005 006 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled. 040 MAT 005 007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 040 MAT 005 008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 040 MAT 005 009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. 040 MAT 005 010 Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 005 011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 040 MAT 005 012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 040 MAT 005 013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be salted? it is then good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men. 040 MAT 005 014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 040 MAT 005 015 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand; and it giveth light to all that are in the house. 040 MAT 005 016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 005 017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 040 MAT 005 018 For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 040 MAT 005 019 Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 005 020 For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 005 021 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 040 MAT 005 022 But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 005 023 Therefore if thou shalt bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee; 040 MAT 005 024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 040 MAT 005 025 Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 040 MAT 005 026 Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 040 MAT 005 027 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 040 MAT 005 028 But I say to you, That whoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 040 MAT 005 029 And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 005 030 And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 005 031 It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 040 MAT 005 032 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of immorality, causeth her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 040 MAT 005 033 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths: 040 MAT 005 034 But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: 040 MAT 005 035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 040 MAT 005 036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 040 MAT 005 037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these cometh of evil. 040 MAT 005 038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 040 MAT 005 039 But I say to you, That ye resist not evil: but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 040 MAT 005 040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 040 MAT 005 041 And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. 040 MAT 005 042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 040 MAT 005 043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. 040 MAT 005 044 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you; 040 MAT 005 045 That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 040 MAT 005 046 For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax collectors the same? 040 MAT 005 047 And if ye greet your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the tax collectors so? 040 MAT 005 048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect. 040 MAT 006 001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 006 002 Therefore when thou doest thy alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward. 040 MAT 006 003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 040 MAT 006 004 That thy alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 040 MAT 006 005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward. 040 MAT 006 006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 040 MAT 006 007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 040 MAT 006 008 Therefore, be ye not like them: for your Father knoweth what things ye need, before ye ask him. 040 MAT 006 009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 040 MAT 006 010 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. 040 MAT 006 011 Give us this day our daily bread. 040 MAT 006 012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 040 MAT 006 013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 040 MAT 006 014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 040 MAT 006 015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 040 MAT 006 016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily I say to you, They have their reward. 040 MAT 006 017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; 040 MAT 006 018 That thou mayest not appear to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. 040 MAT 006 019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 040 MAT 006 020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 040 MAT 006 021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 040 MAT 006 022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye is clear, thy whole body shall be full of light. 040 MAT 006 023 But if thy eye is bad, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is that darkness! 040 MAT 006 024 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches. 040 MAT 006 025 Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? 040 MAT 006 026 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 040 MAT 006 027 Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? 040 MAT 006 028 And why are ye anxious for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 040 MAT 006 029 And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 040 MAT 006 030 Therefore, if God so clotheth the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 040 MAT 006 031 Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? 040 MAT 006 032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 040 MAT 006 033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. 040 MAT 006 034 Therefore be not anxious for to morrow: for to morrow will be anxious for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is its own evil. 040 MAT 007 001 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 040 MAT 007 002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with the measure which ye measure with, it shall be measured to you again. 040 MAT 007 003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye? 040 MAT 007 004 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and, behold, a beam is in thy own eye? 040 MAT 007 005 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. 040 MAT 007 006 Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 040 MAT 007 007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you: 040 MAT 007 008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 040 MAT 007 009 Or what man is there of you, who if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone? 040 MAT 007 010 Or if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 040 MAT 007 011 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 040 MAT 007 012 Therefore all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 040 MAT 007 013 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in by it: 040 MAT 007 014 Because small is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there are that find it. 040 MAT 007 015 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 040 MAT 007 016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 040 MAT 007 017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth bad fruit. 040 MAT 007 018 A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 040 MAT 007 019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 040 MAT 007 020 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 040 MAT 007 021 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 007 022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out demons? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 040 MAT 007 023 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 040 MAT 007 024 Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock: 040 MAT 007 025 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 040 MAT 007 026 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 040 MAT 007 027 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was its fall. 040 MAT 007 028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 040 MAT 007 029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 040 MAT 008 001 When he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 040 MAT 008 002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 040 MAT 008 003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 040 MAT 008 004 And Jesus saith to him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 040 MAT 008 005 And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him, 040 MAT 008 006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick with the palsy, grievously tormented. 040 MAT 008 007 And Jesus saith to him, I will come and heal him. 040 MAT 008 008 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 040 MAT 008 009 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 040 MAT 008 010 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 040 MAT 008 011 And I say to you, That many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 008 012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 008 013 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And his servant was healed in the very same hour. 040 MAT 008 014 And when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and sick with a fever. 040 MAT 008 015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered to them. 040 MAT 008 016 When the evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 040 MAT 008 017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses. 040 MAT 008 018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side. 040 MAT 008 019 And a certain scribe came, and said to him, Master, I will follow thee wherever thou goest. 040 MAT 008 020 And Jesus saith to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 040 MAT 008 021 And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. 040 MAT 008 022 But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 040 MAT 008 023 And when he had entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 040 MAT 008 024 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 040 MAT 008 025 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 040 MAT 008 026 And he saith to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 040 MAT 008 027 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 040 MAT 008 028 And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 040 MAT 008 029 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come here to torment us before the time? 040 MAT 008 030 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 040 MAT 008 031 So the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine. 040 MAT 008 032 And he said to them, Go. And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 040 MAT 008 033 And they that kept them fled, and went away into the city, and told every thing, and what had befallen to the ones possessed with demons. 040 MAT 008 034 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their region. 040 MAT 009 001 And he entered into a boat, and passed over, and came into his own city. 040 MAT 009 002 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick with the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee. 040 MAT 009 003 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 040 MAT 009 004 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts? 040 MAT 009 005 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 040 MAT 009 006 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, ( then saith he to the sick with the palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house. 040 MAT 009 007 And he arose, and departed to his house. 040 MAT 009 008 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men. 040 MAT 009 009 And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the tax office: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 040 MAT 009 010 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat eating in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 040 MAT 009 011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with tax collectors and sinners? 040 MAT 009 012 But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that are well need not a physician, but they that are sick. 040 MAT 009 013 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 040 MAT 009 014 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast not? 040 MAT 009 015 And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they shall fast. 040 MAT 009 016 No man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 040 MAT 009 017 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. 040 MAT 009 018 While he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 040 MAT 009 019 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 040 MAT 009 020 And, behold, a woman, who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 040 MAT 009 021 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be healed. 040 MAT 009 022 But Jesus turned himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee well. And the woman was healed from that hour. 040 MAT 009 023 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 040 MAT 009 024 He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed at him. 040 MAT 009 025 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 040 MAT 009 026 And the fame of this went abroad into all that land. 040 MAT 009 027 And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 040 MAT 009 028 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yea, Lord. 040 MAT 009 029 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it to you. 040 MAT 009 030 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus sternly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 040 MAT 009 031 But they, when they had departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. 040 MAT 009 032 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon. 040 MAT 009 033 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 040 MAT 009 034 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out demons through the prince of the demons. 040 MAT 009 035 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 040 MAT 009 036 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they were faint, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 040 MAT 009 037 Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few; 040 MAT 009 038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. 040 MAT 010 001 And when he had called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 040 MAT 010 002 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 040 MAT 010 003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 040 MAT 010 004 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 040 MAT 010 005 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and enter ye not into any city of the Samaritans: 040 MAT 010 006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 040 MAT 010 007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 040 MAT 010 008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give. 040 MAT 010 009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 040 MAT 010 010 Nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor staffs: for the workman is worthy of his food. 040 MAT 010 011 And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go from there. 040 MAT 010 012 And when ye come into an house, greet it. 040 MAT 010 013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 040 MAT 010 014 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 040 MAT 010 015 Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 040 MAT 010 016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 040 MAT 010 017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 040 MAT 010 018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 040 MAT 010 019 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given to you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 040 MAT 010 020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaketh in you. 040 MAT 010 021 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 040 MAT 010 022 And ye shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 040 MAT 010 023 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man shall have come. 040 MAT 010 024 The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his lord. 040 MAT 010 025 It is enough for the disciple that he should be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 040 MAT 010 026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 040 MAT 010 027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that proclaim upon the housetops. 040 MAT 010 028 And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 010 029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. 040 MAT 010 030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 040 MAT 010 031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 040 MAT 010 032 Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 010 033 But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 010 034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 040 MAT 010 035 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 040 MAT 010 036 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 040 MAT 010 037 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 040 MAT 010 038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 040 MAT 010 039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 040 MAT 010 040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 040 MAT 010 041 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 040 MAT 010 042 And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward. 040 MAT 011 001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. 040 MAT 011 002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 040 MAT 011 003 And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 040 MAT 011 004 Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see: 040 MAT 011 005 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 040 MAT 011 006 And blessed is he, who shall not be offended because of me. 040 MAT 011 007 And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 040 MAT 011 008 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 040 MAT 011 009 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 040 MAT 011 010 For this is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 040 MAT 011 011 Verily I say to you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: however he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 040 MAT 011 012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 040 MAT 011 013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 040 MAT 011 014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come. 040 MAT 011 015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 040 MAT 011 016 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions, 040 MAT 011 017 And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented. 040 MAT 011 018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon. 040 MAT 011 019 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children. 040 MAT 011 020 Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not: 040 MAT 011 021 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which had been done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 040 MAT 011 022 But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 040 MAT 011 023 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86) 040 MAT 011 024 But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. 040 MAT 011 025 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes. 040 MAT 011 026 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 040 MAT 011 027 All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son will reveal him. 040 MAT 011 028 Come to me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 040 MAT 011 029 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest to your souls. 040 MAT 011 030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 040 MAT 012 001 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain fields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the heads of grain, and to eat. 040 MAT 012 002 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath. 040 MAT 012 003 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him; 040 MAT 012 004 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests? 040 MAT 012 005 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 040 MAT 012 006 But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 040 MAT 012 007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 040 MAT 012 008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath. 040 MAT 012 009 And when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue: 040 MAT 012 010 And, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. 040 MAT 012 011 And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 040 MAT 012 012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days. 040 MAT 012 013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out; and it was restored as whole, as the other. 040 MAT 012 014 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 040 MAT 012 015 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; 040 MAT 012 016 And charged them that they should not make him known: 040 MAT 012 017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 012 018 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show justice to the Gentiles. 040 MAT 012 019 He shall not quarrel, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 040 MAT 012 020 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth justice to victory. 040 MAT 012 021 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 040 MAT 012 022 Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw. 040 MAT 012 023 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 040 MAT 012 024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. 040 MAT 012 025 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 040 MAT 012 026 And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? 040 MAT 012 027 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 040 MAT 012 028 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you. 040 MAT 012 029 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house. 040 MAT 012 030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 040 MAT 012 031 Therefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. 040 MAT 012 032 And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 012 033 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. 040 MAT 012 034 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 040 MAT 012 035 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 040 MAT 012 036 But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account for it in the day of judgment. 040 MAT 012 037 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 040 MAT 012 038 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 040 MAT 012 039 But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah: 040 MAT 012 040 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 040 MAT 012 041 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here. 040 MAT 012 042 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 040 MAT 012 043 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none. 040 MAT 012 044 Then he saith, I will return into my house from which I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 040 MAT 012 045 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation. 040 MAT 012 046 While he was yet speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood outside, desiring to speak with him. 040 MAT 012 047 Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to speak with thee. 040 MAT 012 048 But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 040 MAT 012 049 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 040 MAT 012 050 For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. 040 MAT 013 001 The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 040 MAT 013 002 And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 040 MAT 013 003 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 040 MAT 013 004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them: 040 MAT 013 005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 040 MAT 013 006 And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 040 MAT 013 007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 040 MAT 013 008 But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 040 MAT 013 009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 040 MAT 013 010 And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? 040 MAT 013 011 He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 040 MAT 013 012 For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 040 MAT 013 013 Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 040 MAT 013 014 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 040 MAT 013 015 For this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 040 MAT 013 016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 040 MAT 013 017 For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 040 MAT 013 018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 040 MAT 013 019 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side. 040 MAT 013 020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it; 040 MAT 013 021 Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended. 040 MAT 013 022 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 023 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 040 MAT 013 024 Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field: 040 MAT 013 025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 040 MAT 013 026 But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 040 MAT 013 027 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares? 040 MAT 013 028 He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 040 MAT 013 029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 040 MAT 013 030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 040 MAT 013 031 Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 040 MAT 013 032 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches. 040 MAT 013 033 Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 040 MAT 013 034 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them: 040 MAT 013 035 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 040 MAT 013 036 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field. 040 MAT 013 037 He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 040 MAT 013 038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 040 MAT 013 039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 041 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity; 040 MAT 013 042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 013 043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 040 MAT 013 044 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 040 MAT 013 045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking fine pearls: 040 MAT 013 046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 040 MAT 013 047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 040 MAT 013 048 Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad. 040 MAT 013 049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 013 051 Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord. 040 MAT 013 052 Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 040 MAT 013 053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there. 040 MAT 013 054 And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? 040 MAT 013 055 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 040 MAT 013 056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this man all these things? 040 MAT 013 057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house. 040 MAT 013 058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. 040 MAT 014 001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 040 MAT 014 002 And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he hath risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. 040 MAT 014 003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 040 MAT 014 004 For John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 040 MAT 014 005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 040 MAT 014 006 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 040 MAT 014 007 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask. 040 MAT 014 008 And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist on a platter. 040 MAT 014 009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the sake of the oath and them who sat eating with him, he commanded it to be given her. 040 MAT 014 010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 040 MAT 014 011 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the girl: and she brought it to her mother. 040 MAT 014 012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 040 MAT 014 013 When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there in a boat into a desert place by himself: and when the people had heard of it, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 040 MAT 014 014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 040 MAT 014 015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now late; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 040 MAT 014 016 But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 040 MAT 014 017 And they say to him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 040 MAT 014 018 He said, Bring them here to me. 040 MAT 014 019 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 040 MAT 014 020 And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 040 MAT 014 021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. 040 MAT 014 022 And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 040 MAT 014 023 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 040 MAT 014 024 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 040 MAT 014 025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 040 MAT 014 026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear. 040 MAT 014 027 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 040 MAT 014 028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water. 040 MAT 014 029 And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 040 MAT 014 030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 040 MAT 014 031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? 040 MAT 014 032 And when they had come into the boat, the wind ceased. 040 MAT 014 033 Then they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying, In truth thou art the Son of God. 040 MAT 014 034 And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 040 MAT 014 035 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the surrounding country, and brought to him all that were diseased; 040 MAT 014 036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly well. 040 MAT 015 001 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, saying, 040 MAT 015 002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 040 MAT 015 003 But he answered and said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 040 MAT 015 004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 040 MAT 015 005 But ye say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; 040 MAT 015 006 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 040 MAT 015 007 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 040 MAT 015 008 This people draweth near to me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 040 MAT 015 009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 040 MAT 015 010 And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand: 040 MAT 015 011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 040 MAT 015 012 Then came his disciples, and said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 040 MAT 015 013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted out. 040 MAT 015 014 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 040 MAT 015 015 Then answered Peter and said to him, Make known to us the meaning of this parable. 040 MAT 015 016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 040 MAT 015 017 Do ye not yet understand, that whatever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the stomach, and is cast out into the draught? 040 MAT 015 018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 040 MAT 015 019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 040 MAT 015 020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man. 040 MAT 015 021 Then Jesus went from there, and departed into the region of Tyre and Sidon. 040 MAT 015 022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same region, and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously afflicted with a demon. 040 MAT 015 023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 040 MAT 015 024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 040 MAT 015 025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 040 MAT 015 026 But he answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 040 MAT 015 027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 040 MAT 015 028 Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that very hour. 040 MAT 015 029 And Jesus departed from there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and went up on a mountain, and sat down there. 040 MAT 015 030 And great multitudes came to him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 040 MAT 015 031 So that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 040 MAT 015 032 Then Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 040 MAT 015 033 And his disciples say to him, Where should we get so much bread in the wilderness, as to satisfy so great a multitude? 040 MAT 015 034 And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 040 MAT 015 035 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 040 MAT 015 036 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 040 MAT 015 037 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up of the broken pieces that were left seven baskets full. 040 MAT 015 038 And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children. 040 MAT 015 039 And he sent away the multitude, and got into a boat, and came into the region of Magdala. 040 MAT 016 001 The Pharisees also and the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. 040 MAT 016 002 He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 040 MAT 016 003 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and threatening. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 040 MAT 016 004 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed. 040 MAT 016 005 And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 040 MAT 016 006 Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 040 MAT 016 007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 040 MAT 016 008 Which when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 040 MAT 016 009 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 040 MAT 016 010 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 040 MAT 016 011 How is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 040 MAT 016 012 Then they understood that he did not warn them against the leaven of bread, but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 040 MAT 016 013 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am? 040 MAT 016 014 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 040 MAT 016 015 He saith to them, But who say ye that I am? 040 MAT 016 016 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 040 MAT 016 017 And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 016 018 And I say also to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86) 040 MAT 016 019 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 040 MAT 016 020 Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 040 MAT 016 021 From that time forth Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 040 MAT 016 022 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee. 040 MAT 016 023 But he turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence to me: for thou savourest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men. 040 MAT 016 024 Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 040 MAT 016 025 For whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 040 MAT 016 026 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 040 MAT 016 027 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 040 MAT 016 028 Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. 040 MAT 017 001 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up upon an high mountain by themselves, 040 MAT 017 002 And he was transfigured before them: and his face shone as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 040 MAT 017 003 And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him. 040 MAT 017 004 Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 040 MAT 017 005 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 040 MAT 017 006 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were greatly afraid. 040 MAT 017 007 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 040 MAT 017 008 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only. 040 MAT 017 009 And as they came down the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man is risen from the dead. 040 MAT 017 010 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 040 MAT 017 011 And Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things. 040 MAT 017 012 But I say to you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they desired. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer by them. 040 MAT 017 013 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them concerning John the Baptist. 040 MAT 017 014 And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 040 MAT 017 015 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and greatly distressed: for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water. 040 MAT 017 016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 040 MAT 017 017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him here to me. 040 MAT 017 018 And Jesus rebuked the demon; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 040 MAT 017 019 Then came the disciples to Jesus privately, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 040 MAT 017 020 And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say to you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place; and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you. 040 MAT 017 021 However this kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting. 040 MAT 017 022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 040 MAT 017 023 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly sorrowful. 040 MAT 017 024 And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 040 MAT 017 025 He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers? 040 MAT 017 026 Peter saith to him, From strangers. Jesus saith to him, Then are the children free. 040 MAT 017 027 However, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: take that, and give to them for me and thee. 040 MAT 018 001 At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 040 MAT 018 002 And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them, 040 MAT 018 003 And said, Verily I say to you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 018 004 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 018 005 And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 040 MAT 018 006 But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 040 MAT 018 007 Woe to the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 040 MAT 018 008 Therefore if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to sin, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 018 009 And if thy eye causeth thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 018 010 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 018 011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 040 MAT 018 012 How think ye? if a man hath an hundred sheep, and one of them is gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go to the mountains, and seek that which is gone astray? 040 MAT 018 013 And if so be that he findeth it, verily I say to you, he rejoiceth more over that sheep, than over the ninety and nine which went not astray. 040 MAT 018 014 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 040 MAT 018 015 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 040 MAT 018 016 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 040 MAT 018 017 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he shall neglect to hear the church, let him be to thee as an heathen and a tax collector. 040 MAT 018 018 Verily I say to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 040 MAT 018 019 Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. 040 MAT 018 020 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 040 MAT 018 021 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 040 MAT 018 022 Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 040 MAT 018 023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, who would take account of his servants. 040 MAT 018 024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents. 040 MAT 018 025 But as he had nothing with which to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 040 MAT 018 026 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 040 MAT 018 027 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 040 MAT 018 028 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, who owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest. 040 MAT 018 029 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 040 MAT 018 030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 040 MAT 018 031 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done. 040 MAT 018 032 Then his lord, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou didst beg me: 040 MAT 018 033 Shouldest thou not also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 040 MAT 018 034 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the torturers, till he should pay all that was due to him. 040 MAT 018 035 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. 040 MAT 019 001 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the region of Judaea beyond Jordan; 040 MAT 019 002 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 040 MAT 019 003 The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 040 MAT 019 004 And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female, 040 MAT 019 005 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh? 040 MAT 019 006 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 040 MAT 019 007 They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 040 MAT 019 008 He saith to them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 040 MAT 019 009 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for immorality, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away committeth adultery. 040 MAT 019 010 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 040 MAT 019 011 But he said to them, All men cannot receive this saying, except they to whom it is given. 040 MAT 019 012 For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. 040 MAT 019 013 Then were brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 040 MAT 019 014 But Jesus said, Permit the little children, and forbid them not, to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 019 015 And he laid his hands on them, and departed from there. 040 MAT 019 016 And, behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 019 017 And he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 040 MAT 019 018 He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 040 MAT 019 019 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 040 MAT 019 020 The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet? 040 MAT 019 021 Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 040 MAT 019 022 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 040 MAT 019 023 Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I say to you, That it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 019 024 And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 040 MAT 019 025 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 040 MAT 019 026 But Jesus beheld them, and said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 040 MAT 019 027 Then answered Peter and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 040 MAT 019 028 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 040 MAT 019 029 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 019 030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. 040 MAT 020 001 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 040 MAT 020 002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 040 MAT 020 003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 040 MAT 020 004 And said to them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went. 040 MAT 020 005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did the same. 040 MAT 020 006 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 040 MAT 020 007 They say to him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, that shall ye receive. 040 MAT 020 008 So when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last to the first. 040 MAT 020 009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 040 MAT 020 010 But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 040 MAT 020 011 And when they had received it, they murmured against the master of the house, 040 MAT 020 012 Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. 040 MAT 020 013 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? 040 MAT 020 014 Take that which is thine, and go thy way: I will give to this last, even as to thee. 040 MAT 020 015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thy eye evil, because I am good? 040 MAT 020 016 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen. 040 MAT 020 017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples aside in the way, and said to them, 040 MAT 020 018 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 040 MAT 020 019 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. 040 MAT 020 020 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 040 MAT 020 021 And he said to her, What wilt thou? She saith to him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 040 MAT 020 022 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say to him, We are able. 040 MAT 020 023 And he saith to them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. 040 MAT 020 024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 040 MAT 020 025 But Jesus called them to him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 040 MAT 020 026 But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 040 MAT 020 027 And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 040 MAT 020 028 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 040 MAT 020 029 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 040 MAT 020 030 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. 040 MAT 020 031 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. 040 MAT 020 032 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do to you? 040 MAT 020 033 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 040 MAT 020 034 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. 040 MAT 021 001 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 040 MAT 021 002 Saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and immediately ye shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me. 040 MAT 021 003 And if any man shall say any thing to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them. 040 MAT 021 004 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 021 005 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey. 040 MAT 021 006 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 040 MAT 021 007 And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him on it. 040 MAT 021 008 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. 040 MAT 021 009 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 040 MAT 021 010 And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 040 MAT 021 011 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 040 MAT 021 012 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 040 MAT 021 013 And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 040 MAT 021 014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 040 MAT 021 015 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were greatly displeased, 040 MAT 021 016 And said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 040 MAT 021 017 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. 040 MAT 021 018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he was hungry. 040 MAT 021 019 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 021 020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 040 MAT 021 021 Jesus answered and said to them, Verily I say to you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 040 MAT 021 022 And all things, whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 040 MAT 021 023 And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? 040 MAT 021 024 And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. 040 MAT 021 025 The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him? 040 MAT 021 026 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. 040 MAT 021 027 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. 040 MAT 021 028 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 040 MAT 021 029 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 040 MAT 021 030 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 040 MAT 021 031 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, That the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 040 MAT 021 032 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. 040 MAT 021 033 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country: 040 MAT 021 034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruits. 040 MAT 021 035 And the vinedressers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 040 MAT 021 036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner. 040 MAT 021 037 But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 040 MAT 021 038 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 040 MAT 021 039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 040 MAT 021 040 When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those vinedressers? 040 MAT 021 041 They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other vinedressers, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 040 MAT 021 042 Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 040 MAT 021 043 Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. 040 MAT 021 044 And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 040 MAT 021 045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them. 040 MAT 021 046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet. 040 MAT 022 001 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said, 040 MAT 022 002 The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son, 040 MAT 022 003 And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come. 040 MAT 022 004 Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage. 040 MAT 022 005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 040 MAT 022 006 And the remnant took his servants, and treated them spitefully, and slew them. 040 MAT 022 007 But when the king heard of it, he was angry: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 040 MAT 022 008 Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy. 040 MAT 022 009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage. 040 MAT 022 010 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 040 MAT 022 011 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding garment: 040 MAT 022 012 And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 040 MAT 022 013 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 022 014 For many are called, but few are chosen. 040 MAT 022 015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 040 MAT 022 016 And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 040 MAT 022 017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 040 MAT 022 018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 040 MAT 022 019 Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a penny. 040 MAT 022 020 And he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription? 040 MAT 022 021 They say to him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s. 040 MAT 022 022 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and departed. 040 MAT 022 023 The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 040 MAT 022 024 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 040 MAT 022 025 Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, died, and, having no issue, left his wife to his brother: 040 MAT 022 026 Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh. 040 MAT 022 027 And last of all the woman died also. 040 MAT 022 028 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 040 MAT 022 029 Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 040 MAT 022 030 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 040 MAT 022 031 But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, 040 MAT 022 032 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 040 MAT 022 033 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 040 MAT 022 034 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together about him. 040 MAT 022 035 Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 040 MAT 022 036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 040 MAT 022 037 Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 040 MAT 022 038 This is the first and great commandment. 040 MAT 022 039 And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 040 MAT 022 040 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 040 MAT 022 041 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 040 MAT 022 042 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David. 040 MAT 022 043 He saith to them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 040 MAT 022 044 The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool? 040 MAT 022 045 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son? 040 MAT 022 046 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. 040 MAT 023 001 Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples, 040 MAT 023 002 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses: 040 MAT 023 003 All therefore whatever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye according to their works: for they say, and do not. 040 MAT 023 004 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 040 MAT 023 005 But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 040 MAT 023 006 And love the uppermost places at feasts, and the best seats in the synagogues, 040 MAT 023 007 And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 040 MAT 023 008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 040 MAT 023 009 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven. 040 MAT 023 010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 040 MAT 023 011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 040 MAT 023 012 And whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 040 MAT 023 013 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither allow ye them that are entering to go in. 040 MAT 023 014 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 040 MAT 023 015 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye travel sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 023 016 Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 040 MAT 023 017 Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 040 MAT 023 018 And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is bound. 040 MAT 023 019 Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 040 MAT 023 020 Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things on it. 040 MAT 023 021 And whoever shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it. 040 MAT 023 022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it. 040 MAT 023 023 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith: these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone. 040 MAT 023 024 Ye blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel. 040 MAT 023 025 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 040 MAT 023 026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 040 MAT 023 027 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 040 MAT 023 028 Thus ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 040 MAT 023 029 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 040 MAT 023 030 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 040 MAT 023 031 Therefore ye are witnesses against yourselves, that ye are the children of them who killed the prophets. 040 MAT 023 032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 040 MAT 023 033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 023 034 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 040 MAT 023 035 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 040 MAT 023 036 Verily I say to you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 040 MAT 023 037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 040 MAT 023 038 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 040 MAT 023 039 For I say to you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 040 MAT 024 001 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. 040 MAT 024 002 And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 040 MAT 024 003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 024 004 And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 040 MAT 024 005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 040 MAT 024 006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 040 MAT 024 007 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places. 040 MAT 024 008 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 040 MAT 024 009 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 040 MAT 024 010 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 040 MAT 024 011 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 040 MAT 024 012 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall become cold. 040 MAT 024 013 But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved. 040 MAT 024 014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come. 040 MAT 024 015 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand: ) 040 MAT 024 016 Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains: 040 MAT 024 017 Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 040 MAT 024 018 Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes. 040 MAT 024 019 And woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days! 040 MAT 024 020 But pray ye that your flight may not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath: 040 MAT 024 021 For then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 040 MAT 024 022 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 040 MAT 024 023 Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 040 MAT 024 024 For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect. 040 MAT 024 025 Behold, I have told you before. 040 MAT 024 026 Therefore if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 040 MAT 024 027 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 040 MAT 024 028 For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 040 MAT 024 029 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 040 MAT 024 030 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 040 MAT 024 031 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 040 MAT 024 032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 040 MAT 024 033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 040 MAT 024 034 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be fulfilled. 040 MAT 024 035 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 040 MAT 024 036 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 040 MAT 024 037 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 040 MAT 024 038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 040 MAT 024 039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also will be the coming of the Son of man. 040 MAT 024 040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 040 MAT 024 041 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 040 MAT 024 042 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh. 040 MAT 024 043 But know this, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 040 MAT 024 044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 040 MAT 024 045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 040 MAT 024 046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 040 MAT 024 047 Verily I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 040 MAT 024 048 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 040 MAT 024 049 And shall begin to beat his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 040 MAT 024 050 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 040 MAT 024 051 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 025 001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 040 MAT 025 002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 040 MAT 025 003 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 040 MAT 025 004 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 040 MAT 025 005 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 040 MAT 025 006 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 040 MAT 025 007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 040 MAT 025 008 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 040 MAT 025 009 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 040 MAT 025 010 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 040 MAT 025 011 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 040 MAT 025 012 But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not. 040 MAT 025 013 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh. 040 MAT 025 014 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods. 040 MAT 025 015 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey. 040 MAT 025 016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents. 040 MAT 025 017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 040 MAT 025 018 But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 040 MAT 025 019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 040 MAT 025 020 And he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more. 040 MAT 025 021 His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 040 MAT 025 022 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them. 040 MAT 025 023 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 040 MAT 025 024 Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not scattered seed: 040 MAT 025 025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast what is thine. 040 MAT 025 026 His lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed: 040 MAT 025 027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest. 040 MAT 025 028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath ten talents. 040 MAT 025 029 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 040 MAT 025 030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 025 031 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 040 MAT 025 032 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 040 MAT 025 033 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 040 MAT 025 034 Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 040 MAT 025 035 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 040 MAT 025 036 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. 040 MAT 025 037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 040 MAT 025 038 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 040 MAT 025 039 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? 040 MAT 025 040 And the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me. 040 MAT 025 041 Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 025 042 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 040 MAT 025 043 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 040 MAT 025 044 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? 040 MAT 025 045 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 040 MAT 025 046 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 026 001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, 040 MAT 026 002 Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 040 MAT 026 003 Then assembled the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 040 MAT 026 004 And consulted that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill him. 040 MAT 026 005 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. 040 MAT 026 006 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 040 MAT 026 007 There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he was eating. 040 MAT 026 008 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 040 MAT 026 009 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 040 MAT 026 010 When Jesus understood it, he said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 040 MAT 026 011 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 040 MAT 026 012 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 040 MAT 026 013 Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, what this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. 040 MAT 026 014 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, 040 MAT 026 015 And said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver. 040 MAT 026 016 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. 040 MAT 026 017 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 040 MAT 026 018 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 040 MAT 026 019 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 040 MAT 026 020 Now when the evening was come, he sat down with the twelve. 040 MAT 026 021 And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall betray me. 040 MAT 026 022 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I? 040 MAT 026 023 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 040 MAT 026 024 The Son of man goeth as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 040 MAT 026 025 Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said. 040 MAT 026 026 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 040 MAT 026 027 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 040 MAT 026 028 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 040 MAT 026 029 But I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom. 040 MAT 026 030 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. 040 MAT 026 031 Then saith Jesus to them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 040 MAT 026 032 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 040 MAT 026 033 Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. 040 MAT 026 034 Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, That this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me three times. 040 MAT 026 035 Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 040 MAT 026 036 Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder, and pray. 040 MAT 026 037 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 040 MAT 026 038 Then saith he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 040 MAT 026 039 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 040 MAT 026 040 And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith to Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 040 MAT 026 041 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 040 MAT 026 042 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 040 MAT 026 043 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 040 MAT 026 044 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 040 MAT 026 045 Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 040 MAT 026 046 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 040 MAT 026 047 And while he was yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staffs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 040 MAT 026 048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 040 MAT 026 049 And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 040 MAT 026 050 And Jesus said to him, Friend, why art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 040 MAT 026 051 And, behold, one of them who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear. 040 MAT 026 052 Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish by the sword. 040 MAT 026 053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 040 MAT 026 054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 040 MAT 026 055 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staffs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 040 MAT 026 056 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 040 MAT 026 057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 040 MAT 026 058 But Peter followed him from afar off to the high priest’s courtyard, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. 040 MAT 026 059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false testimony against Jesus, to put him to death; 040 MAT 026 060 But found none: and, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 040 MAT 026 061 And said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 040 MAT 026 062 And the high priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these testify against thee? 040 MAT 026 063 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God. 040 MAT 026 064 Jesus saith to him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say to you, After this shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 040 MAT 026 065 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 040 MAT 026 066 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. 040 MAT 026 067 Then they spat in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 040 MAT 026 068 Saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? 040 MAT 026 069 Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard: and a maid came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 040 MAT 026 070 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 040 MAT 026 071 And when he had gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 040 MAT 026 072 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 040 MAT 026 073 And after a while came to him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee. 040 MAT 026 074 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crowed. 040 MAT 026 075 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly. 040 MAT 027 001 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 040 MAT 027 002 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 040 MAT 027 003 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 040 MAT 027 004 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 040 MAT 027 005 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 040 MAT 027 006 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 040 MAT 027 007 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. 040 MAT 027 008 Therefore that field was called, The field of blood, to this day. 040 MAT 027 009 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 040 MAT 027 010 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me. 040 MAT 027 011 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest. 040 MAT 027 012 And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 040 MAT 027 013 Then saith Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they testify against thee? 040 MAT 027 014 And he answered to him never a word; so that the governor marvelled greatly. 040 MAT 027 015 Now at that feast the custom of the governor was to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would. 040 MAT 027 016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 040 MAT 027 017 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? 040 MAT 027 018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 040 MAT 027 019 When he was seated on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 040 MAT 027 020 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 040 MAT 027 021 The governor answered and said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release to you? They said, Barabbas. 040 MAT 027 022 Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. 040 MAT 027 023 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 040 MAT 027 024 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 040 MAT 027 025 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 040 MAT 027 026 Then he released Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 040 MAT 027 027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band of soldiers. 040 MAT 027 028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 040 MAT 027 029 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 040 MAT 027 030 And they spat upon him, and took the reed, and struck him on the head. 040 MAT 027 031 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. 040 MAT 027 032 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 040 MAT 027 033 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 040 MAT 027 034 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. 040 MAT 027 035 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots. 040 MAT 027 036 And sitting down they watched him there; 040 MAT 027 037 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 040 MAT 027 038 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 040 MAT 027 039 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 040 MAT 027 040 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 040 MAT 027 041 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 040 MAT 027 042 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 040 MAT 027 043 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 040 MAT 027 044 The thieves also, who were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 040 MAT 027 045 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour. 040 MAT 027 046 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 040 MAT 027 047 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elijah. 040 MAT 027 048 And immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 040 MAT 027 049 The rest said, Forbear, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him. 040 MAT 027 050 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit. 040 MAT 027 051 And, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; 040 MAT 027 052 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of saints who slept were raised, 040 MAT 027 053 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many. 040 MAT 027 054 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 040 MAT 027 055 And many women were there beholding from afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him: 040 MAT 027 056 Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children. 040 MAT 027 057 When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus: 040 MAT 027 058 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 040 MAT 027 059 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 040 MAT 027 060 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 040 MAT 027 061 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre. 040 MAT 027 062 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate, 040 MAT 027 063 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 040 MAT 027 064 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 040 MAT 027 065 Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, make it as secure as ye can. 040 MAT 027 066 So they went, and having sealed the stone, made the sepulchre secure, with a watch. 040 MAT 028 001 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 040 MAT 028 002 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 040 MAT 028 003 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 040 MAT 028 004 And for fear of him the keepers shook, and became as dead men. 040 MAT 028 005 And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified. 040 MAT 028 006 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 040 MAT 028 007 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 040 MAT 028 008 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and ran to bring word to his disciples. 040 MAT 028 009 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 040 MAT 028 010 Then said Jesus to them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 040 MAT 028 011 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 040 MAT 028 012 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 040 MAT 028 013 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 040 MAT 028 014 And if this shall come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 040 MAT 028 015 So they took the money, and did as they were instructed: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. 040 MAT 028 016 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 040 MAT 028 017 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 040 MAT 028 018 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to me in heaven and upon earth. 040 MAT 028 019 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: 040 MAT 028 020 Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen. (aiōn g165) # # BOOK 041 MAR Mark Mark 041 MAR 001 001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 041 MAR 001 002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 041 MAR 001 003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 041 MAR 001 004 John was baptizing in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 041 MAR 001 005 And there went out to him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 041 MAR 001 006 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a leather belt around his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey; 041 MAR 001 007 And preached, saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. 041 MAR 001 008 I indeed have baptized you in water: but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit. 041 MAR 001 009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth to Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan. 041 MAR 001 010 And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 041 MAR 001 011 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 041 MAR 001 012 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 041 MAR 001 013 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him. 041 MAR 001 014 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 041 MAR 001 015 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 041 MAR 001 016 Now as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen. 041 MAR 001 017 And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 041 MAR 001 018 And immediately they forsook their nets, and followed him. 041 MAR 001 019 And when he had gone a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 041 MAR 001 020 And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 041 MAR 001 021 And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 041 MAR 001 022 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. 041 MAR 001 023 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 041 MAR 001 024 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 041 MAR 001 025 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 041 MAR 001 026 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 041 MAR 001 027 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 041 MAR 001 028 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region surrounding Galilee. 041 MAR 001 029 And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 041 MAR 001 030 But the mother of Simon’s wife lay sick with a fever, and immediately they tell him of her. 041 MAR 001 031 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them. 041 MAR 001 032 And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons. 041 MAR 001 033 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 041 MAR 001 034 And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and permitted not the demons to speak, because they knew him. 041 MAR 001 035 And in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 041 MAR 001 036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 041 MAR 001 037 And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for thee. 041 MAR 001 038 And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for this purpose have I come. 041 MAR 001 039 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons. 041 MAR 001 040 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 041 MAR 001 041 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean. 041 MAR 001 042 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 041 MAR 001 043 And he strictly charged him, and immediately sent him away; 041 MAR 001 044 And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 041 MAR 001 045 But he went out, and began to proclaim it freely, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. 041 MAR 002 001 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was heard that he was in the house. 041 MAR 002 002 And immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them. 041 MAR 002 003 And they come to him, bringing one sick with the palsy, who was borne by four. 041 MAR 002 004 And when they could not come near to him by reason of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the sick with the palsy lay. 041 MAR 002 005 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick with the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. 041 MAR 002 006 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 041 MAR 002 007 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 041 MAR 002 008 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 041 MAR 002 009 Which is easier to say to the sick with the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 041 MAR 002 010 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick with the palsy, ) 041 MAR 002 011 I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go into thy house. 041 MAR 002 012 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. 041 MAR 002 013 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them. 041 MAR 002 014 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 041 MAR 002 015 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus was eating in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 041 MAR 002 016 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with tax collectors and sinners? 041 MAR 002 017 When Jesus heard it, he saith to them, They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 041 MAR 002 018 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 041 MAR 002 019 And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 041 MAR 002 020 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they shall fast in those days. 041 MAR 002 021 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the tear is made worse. 041 MAR 002 022 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. 041 MAR 002 023 And it came to pass, that he went through the grain fields on the sabbath; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the heads of grain. 041 MAR 002 024 And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath that which is not lawful? 041 MAR 002 025 And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him? 041 MAR 002 026 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them who were with him? 041 MAR 002 027 And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 041 MAR 002 028 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 041 MAR 003 001 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had a withered hand. 041 MAR 003 002 And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him. 041 MAR 003 003 And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, Stand forth. 041 MAR 003 004 And he saith to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 041 MAR 003 005 And when he had looked around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 041 MAR 003 006 And the Pharisees went forth, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 041 MAR 003 007 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, 041 MAR 003 008 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came to him. 041 MAR 003 009 And he spoke to his disciples, that a small boat should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. 041 MAR 003 010 For he had healed many; so that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had afflictions. 041 MAR 003 011 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 041 MAR 003 012 And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known. 041 MAR 003 013 And he goeth up upon a mountain, and calleth to him whom he would: and they came to him. 041 MAR 003 014 And he appointed twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 041 MAR 003 015 And to have authority to heal sicknesses, and to cast out demons: 041 MAR 003 016 And Simon he surnamed Peter; 041 MAR 003 017 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: 041 MAR 003 018 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 041 MAR 003 019 And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they went into an house. 041 MAR 003 020 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 041 MAR 003 021 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 041 MAR 003 022 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the demons he casteth out demons. 041 MAR 003 023 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 041 MAR 003 024 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 041 MAR 003 025 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 041 MAR 003 026 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 041 MAR 003 027 No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and plunder his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house. 041 MAR 003 028 Verily I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they shall blaspheme: 041 MAR 003 029 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never hath forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 041 MAR 003 030 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. 041 MAR 003 031 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing outside, they sent to him, calling him. 041 MAR 003 032 And the multitude sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 041 MAR 003 033 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 041 MAR 003 034 And he looked around on them who sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 041 MAR 003 035 For whoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. 041 MAR 004 001 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 041 MAR 004 002 And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine, 041 MAR 004 003 Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow: 041 MAR 004 004 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it. 041 MAR 004 005 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 041 MAR 004 006 But when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 041 MAR 004 007 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 041 MAR 004 008 And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 041 MAR 004 009 And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 041 MAR 004 010 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 041 MAR 004 011 And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are outside, all these things are done in parables: 041 MAR 004 012 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 041 MAR 004 013 And he said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 041 MAR 004 014 The sower soweth the word. 041 MAR 004 015 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 041 MAR 004 016 And these are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 041 MAR 004 017 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they fall away. 041 MAR 004 018 And these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 041 MAR 004 019 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165) 041 MAR 004 020 And these are they who are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. 041 MAR 004 021 And he said to them, Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand? 041 MAR 004 022 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be revealed; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come to light. 041 MAR 004 023 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 041 MAR 004 024 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure which ye measure, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given. 041 MAR 004 025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. 041 MAR 004 026 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 041 MAR 004 027 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 041 MAR 004 028 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the ripe grain in the head. 041 MAR 004 029 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. 041 MAR 004 030 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 041 MAR 004 031 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth: 041 MAR 004 032 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shadow. 041 MAR 004 033 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 041 MAR 004 034 But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. 041 MAR 004 035 And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side. 041 MAR 004 036 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other little boats. 041 MAR 004 037 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full. 041 MAR 004 038 And he was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 041 MAR 004 039 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 041 MAR 004 040 And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 041 MAR 004 041 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? 041 MAR 005 001 And they came over to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 041 MAR 005 002 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 041 MAR 005 003 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 041 MAR 005 004 For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 041 MAR 005 005 And always, night and day, he was on the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 041 MAR 005 006 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 041 MAR 005 007 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 041 MAR 005 008 For he said to him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 041 MAR 005 009 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 041 MAR 005 010 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 041 MAR 005 011 Now there was there near to the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 041 MAR 005 012 And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 041 MAR 005 013 And immediately Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand; ) and were choked in the sea. 041 MAR 005 014 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 041 MAR 005 015 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 041 MAR 005 016 And they that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine. 041 MAR 005 017 And they began to beseech him to depart out of their region. 041 MAR 005 018 And when he had come into the boat, he that had been possessed with the demon begged him that he might be with him. 041 MAR 005 019 However Jesus permitted him not, but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. 041 MAR 005 020 And he departed, and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled. 041 MAR 005 021 And when Jesus had passed over again in a boat to the other side, many people gathered to him: and he was near to the sea. 041 MAR 005 022 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 041 MAR 005 023 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. 041 MAR 005 024 And Jesus went with him; and many people followed him, and thronged him. 041 MAR 005 025 And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 041 MAR 005 026 And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, 041 MAR 005 027 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 041 MAR 005 028 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be made well. 041 MAR 005 029 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that affliction. 041 MAR 005 030 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes? 041 MAR 005 031 And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 041 MAR 005 032 And he looked around to see her that had done this thing. 041 MAR 005 033 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 041 MAR 005 034 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be healed of thy affliction. 041 MAR 005 035 While he was yet speaking, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? 041 MAR 005 036 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 041 MAR 005 037 And he permitted no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 041 MAR 005 038 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. 041 MAR 005 039 And when he had come in, he saith to them, Why make ye this tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. 041 MAR 005 040 And they laughed at him. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the child, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the child was lying. 041 MAR 005 041 And he took the child by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say to thee, arise. 041 MAR 005 042 And immediately the child arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. 041 MAR 005 043 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat. 041 MAR 006 001 And he went out from there, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 041 MAR 006 002 And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 041 MAR 006 003 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 041 MAR 006 004 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house. 041 MAR 006 005 And he could there do no mighty work, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people, and healed them. 041 MAR 006 006 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages, teaching. 041 MAR 006 007 And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them authority over unclean spirits; 041 MAR 006 008 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse: 041 MAR 006 009 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 041 MAR 006 010 And he said to them, In whatever place ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 041 MAR 006 011 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 041 MAR 006 012 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 041 MAR 006 013 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 041 MAR 006 014 And king Herod heard of him; ( for his name was spread abroad: ) and he said, That John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. 041 MAR 006 015 Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 041 MAR 006 016 But when Herod heard of him, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath risen from the dead. 041 MAR 006 017 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her. 041 MAR 006 018 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife. 041 MAR 006 019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 041 MAR 006 020 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 041 MAR 006 021 And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee; 041 MAR 006 022 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 041 MAR 006 023 And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, to the half of my kingdom. 041 MAR 006 024 And she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 041 MAR 006 025 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldest give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 041 MAR 006 026 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her. 041 MAR 006 027 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 041 MAR 006 028 And brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl: and the girl gave it to her mother. 041 MAR 006 029 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his dead body, and laid it in a tomb. 041 MAR 006 030 And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 041 MAR 006 031 And he said to them, Come ye yourselves aside into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 041 MAR 006 032 And they departed into a desert place in a boat by themselves. 041 MAR 006 033 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot there out of all cities, and went before them, and came together to him. 041 MAR 006 034 And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 041 MAR 006 035 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: 041 MAR 006 036 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. 041 MAR 006 037 He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? 041 MAR 006 038 He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 041 MAR 006 039 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. 041 MAR 006 040 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 041 MAR 006 041 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all. 041 MAR 006 042 And they all ate, and were satisfied. 041 MAR 006 043 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 041 MAR 006 044 And they that ate of the loaves were about five thousand men. 041 MAR 006 045 And immediately he constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. 041 MAR 006 046 And when he had dismissed them, he departed to a mountain to pray. 041 MAR 006 047 And when evening was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 041 MAR 006 048 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. 041 MAR 006 049 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: 041 MAR 006 050 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 041 MAR 006 051 And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 041 MAR 006 052 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. 041 MAR 006 053 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 041 MAR 006 054 And when they had come out of the boat, immediately they knew him, 041 MAR 006 055 And ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 041 MAR 006 056 And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made well. 041 MAR 007 001 Then came together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem. 041 MAR 007 002 And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault. 041 MAR 007 003 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 041 MAR 007 004 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there are, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brasen vessels, and tables. 041 MAR 007 005 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? 041 MAR 007 006 He answered and said to them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 041 MAR 007 007 But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 041 MAR 007 008 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 041 MAR 007 009 And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 041 MAR 007 010 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoever curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 041 MAR 007 011 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 041 MAR 007 012 And ye permit him no more to do any thing for his father or his mother; 041 MAR 007 013 Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do. 041 MAR 007 014 And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Hearken to me each one of you, and understand: 041 MAR 007 015 There is nothing from outside of a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 041 MAR 007 016 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 041 MAR 007 017 And when he had entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 041 MAR 007 018 And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from outside entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 041 MAR 007 019 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach, and goeth out into the draught, purging all foods? 041 MAR 007 020 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 041 MAR 007 021 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 041 MAR 007 022 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 041 MAR 007 023 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. 041 MAR 007 024 And from there he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. 041 MAR 007 025 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 041 MAR 007 026 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 041 MAR 007 027 But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to the dogs. 041 MAR 007 028 And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 041 MAR 007 029 And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 041 MAR 007 030 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed. 041 MAR 007 031 And again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis. 041 MAR 007 032 And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. 041 MAR 007 033 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 041 MAR 007 034 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 041 MAR 007 035 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plain. 041 MAR 007 036 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they proclaimed it; 041 MAR 007 037 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. 041 MAR 008 001 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them, 041 MAR 008 002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 041 MAR 008 003 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from far. 041 MAR 008 004 And his disciples answered him, From where can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 041 MAR 008 005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 041 MAR 008 006 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people. 041 MAR 008 007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 041 MAR 008 008 So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments of food that were left, seven baskets. 041 MAR 008 009 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. 041 MAR 008 010 And immediately he entered into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 041 MAR 008 011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 041 MAR 008 012 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation. 041 MAR 008 013 And he left them, and entering into the boat again departed to the other side. 041 MAR 008 014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the boat with them more than one loaf. 041 MAR 008 015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 041 MAR 008 016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. 041 MAR 008 017 And when Jesus knew it, he saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? 041 MAR 008 018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 041 MAR 008 019 When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve. 041 MAR 008 020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. 041 MAR 008 021 And he said to them, How is it that ye do not understand? 041 MAR 008 022 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and besought him to touch him. 041 MAR 008 023 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw any thing. 041 MAR 008 024 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 041 MAR 008 025 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. 041 MAR 008 026 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. 041 MAR 008 027 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am? 041 MAR 008 028 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets. 041 MAR 008 029 And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to him, Thou art the Christ. 041 MAR 008 030 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 041 MAR 008 031 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 041 MAR 008 032 And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 041 MAR 008 033 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. 041 MAR 008 034 And when he had called the people to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 041 MAR 008 035 For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 041 MAR 008 036 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 041 MAR 008 037 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 041 MAR 008 038 Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. 041 MAR 009 001 And he said to them, Verily I say to you, That there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. 041 MAR 009 002 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up upon an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. 041 MAR 009 003 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can make them white. 041 MAR 009 004 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 041 MAR 009 005 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 041 MAR 009 006 For he knew not what to say; for they were greatly afraid. 041 MAR 009 007 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 041 MAR 009 008 And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no man any more, except Jesus only with themselves. 041 MAR 009 009 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. 041 MAR 009 010 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. 041 MAR 009 011 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 041 MAR 009 012 And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt. 041 MAR 009 013 But I say to you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, as it is written concerning him. 041 MAR 009 014 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 041 MAR 009 015 And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him. 041 MAR 009 016 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? 041 MAR 009 017 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit; 041 MAR 009 018 And wherever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. 041 MAR 009 019 He answered him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. 041 MAR 009 020 And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 041 MAR 009 021 And he asked his father, How long is it since this came to him? And he said, From a child. 041 MAR 009 022 And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 041 MAR 009 023 Jesus said to him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 041 MAR 009 024 And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief. 041 MAR 009 025 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 041 MAR 009 026 And the spirit cried, and tore him violently, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, He is dead. 041 MAR 009 027 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 041 MAR 009 028 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 041 MAR 009 029 And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. 041 MAR 009 030 And they departed from there, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. 041 MAR 009 031 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 041 MAR 009 032 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. 041 MAR 009 033 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? 041 MAR 009 034 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 041 MAR 009 035 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 041 MAR 009 036 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them, 041 MAR 009 037 Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. 041 MAR 009 038 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 041 MAR 009 039 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 041 MAR 009 040 For he that is not against us is for us. 041 MAR 009 041 For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. 041 MAR 009 042 And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble it is better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 041 MAR 009 043 And if thy hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067) 041 MAR 009 044 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 041 MAR 009 045 And if thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna g1067) 041 MAR 009 046 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 041 MAR 009 047 And if thy eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: (Geenna g1067) 041 MAR 009 048 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 041 MAR 009 049 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 041 MAR 009 050 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its saltness, how will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. 041 MAR 010 001 And he arose from there, and cometh into the region of Judaea by the other side of Jordan: and the people resort to him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them again. 041 MAR 010 002 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 041 MAR 010 003 And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you? 041 MAR 010 004 And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 041 MAR 010 005 And Jesus answered and said to them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 041 MAR 010 006 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 041 MAR 010 007 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 041 MAR 010 008 And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh. 041 MAR 010 009 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man separate. 041 MAR 010 010 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 041 MAR 010 011 And he saith to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 041 MAR 010 012 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. 041 MAR 010 013 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 041 MAR 010 014 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Permit the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 041 MAR 010 015 Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter it. 041 MAR 010 016 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. 041 MAR 010 017 And when he had gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166) 041 MAR 010 018 And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 041 MAR 010 019 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 041 MAR 010 020 And he answered and said to him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 041 MAR 010 021 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 041 MAR 010 022 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 041 MAR 010 023 And Jesus looked around, and saith to his disciples, How hard it shall be for them that have riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 041 MAR 010 024 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith to them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 041 MAR 010 025 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 041 MAR 010 026 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 041 MAR 010 027 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. 041 MAR 010 028 Then Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 041 MAR 010 029 Jesus answered and said, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 041 MAR 010 030 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 041 MAR 010 031 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. 041 MAR 010 032 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen to him, 041 MAR 010 033 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 041 MAR 010 034 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. 041 MAR 010 035 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatever we shall desire. 041 MAR 010 036 And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you? 041 MAR 010 037 They said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 041 MAR 010 038 But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 041 MAR 010 039 And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall ye be baptized: 041 MAR 010 040 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 041 MAR 010 041 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 041 MAR 010 042 But Jesus called them, and saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 041 MAR 010 043 But so it shall not be among you: but whoever would be great among you, shall be your minister: 041 MAR 010 044 And whoever of you would be the chief, shall be servant of all. 041 MAR 010 045 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 041 MAR 010 046 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the way side begging. 041 MAR 010 047 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 041 MAR 010 048 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 041 MAR 010 049 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 041 MAR 010 050 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 041 MAR 010 051 And Jesus answered and said to him, What wilt thou that I should do to thee? The blind man said to him, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 041 MAR 010 052 And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath made thee well. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. 041 MAR 011 001 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 041 MAR 011 002 And saith to them, Go into the village opposite you: and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 041 MAR 011 003 And if any man shall say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he will send him here. 041 MAR 011 004 And they went away, and found the colt tied by the door outside in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. 041 MAR 011 005 And certain of them that stood there said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 041 MAR 011 006 And they said to them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 041 MAR 011 007 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 041 MAR 011 008 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off trees, and spread them in the way. 041 MAR 011 009 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 041 MAR 011 010 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 041 MAR 011 011 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked around upon all things, it being now evening had come, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 041 MAR 011 012 And on the next day, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry: 041 MAR 011 013 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs had not yet come. 041 MAR 011 014 And Jesus answered and said to it, Let no man eat fruit of thee after this for ever. And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165) 041 MAR 011 015 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 041 MAR 011 016 And would not allow that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 041 MAR 011 017 And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called by all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 041 MAR 011 018 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine. 041 MAR 011 019 And when evening had come, he went out of the city. 041 MAR 011 020 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 041 MAR 011 021 And Peter calling to remembrance saith to him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away. 041 MAR 011 022 And Jesus answering saith to them, Have faith in God. 041 MAR 011 023 For verily I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he saith. 041 MAR 011 024 Therefore I say to you, Whatever things ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 041 MAR 011 025 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have any thing against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 041 MAR 011 026 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 041 MAR 011 027 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, 041 MAR 011 028 And say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? 041 MAR 011 029 And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 041 MAR 011 030 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me. 041 MAR 011 031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? 041 MAR 011 032 But if we shall say, From men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. 041 MAR 011 033 And they answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. 041 MAR 012 001 And he began to speak to them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and dug a place for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country. 041 MAR 012 002 And at the season he sent to the vinedressers a servant, that he might receive from the vinedressers of the fruit of the vineyard. 041 MAR 012 003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 041 MAR 012 004 And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 041 MAR 012 005 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. 041 MAR 012 006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son. 041 MAR 012 007 But those vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. 041 MAR 012 008 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 041 MAR 012 009 What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the vinedressers, and will give the vineyard to others. 041 MAR 012 010 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 041 MAR 012 011 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 041 MAR 012 012 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went away. 041 MAR 012 013 And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 041 MAR 012 014 And when they had come, they say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 041 MAR 012 015 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. 041 MAR 012 016 And they brought it. And he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar’s. 041 MAR 012 017 And Jesus answering said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him. 041 MAR 012 018 Then come to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 041 MAR 012 019 Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man’s brother shall die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 041 MAR 012 020 Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 041 MAR 012 021 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 041 MAR 012 022 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 041 MAR 012 023 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a wife. 041 MAR 012 024 And Jesus answering said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 041 MAR 012 025 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven. 041 MAR 012 026 And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 041 MAR 012 027 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 041 MAR 012 028 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 041 MAR 012 029 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 041 MAR 012 030 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 041 MAR 012 031 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 041 MAR 012 032 And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he: 041 MAR 012 033 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 041 MAR 012 034 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any question. 041 MAR 012 035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? 041 MAR 012 036 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. 041 MAR 012 037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and how is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. 041 MAR 012 038 And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love greetings in the marketplaces, 041 MAR 012 039 And the best seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts: 041 MAR 012 040 Who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation. 041 MAR 012 041 And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 041 MAR 012 042 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 041 MAR 012 043 And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury: 041 MAR 012 044 For all they cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living. 041 MAR 013 001 And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 041 MAR 013 002 And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 041 MAR 013 003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 041 MAR 013 004 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 041 MAR 013 005 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 041 MAR 013 006 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 041 MAR 013 007 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 041 MAR 013 008 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 041 MAR 013 009 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 041 MAR 013 010 And the gospel must first be proclaimed among all nations. 041 MAR 013 011 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. 041 MAR 013 012 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 041 MAR 013 013 And ye shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved. 041 MAR 013 014 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand, ) then let them that are in Judaea flee to the mountains: 041 MAR 013 015 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter it, to take any thing out of his house: 041 MAR 013 016 And let him that is in the field not turn back again to take up his garment. 041 MAR 013 017 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days! 041 MAR 013 018 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 041 MAR 013 019 For in those days shall be affliction, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time, neither shall be. 041 MAR 013 020 And except the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 041 MAR 013 021 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 041 MAR 013 022 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 041 MAR 013 023 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 041 MAR 013 024 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 041 MAR 013 025 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 041 MAR 013 026 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 041 MAR 013 027 And then he shall send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 041 MAR 013 028 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 041 MAR 013 029 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is near, even at the doors. 041 MAR 013 030 Verily I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things shall be done. 041 MAR 013 031 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 041 MAR 013 032 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 041 MAR 013 033 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 041 MAR 013 034 For the Son of man is as a man taking a long journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 041 MAR 013 035 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 041 MAR 013 036 Lest coming suddenly he should find you sleeping. 041 MAR 013 037 And what I say to you I say to all, Watch. 041 MAR 014 001 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 041 MAR 014 002 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there should be an uproar of the people. 041 MAR 014 003 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat eating, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she broke the box, and poured it on his head. 041 MAR 014 004 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 041 MAR 014 005 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 041 MAR 014 006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 041 MAR 014 007 For ye have the poor with you always, and whenever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. 041 MAR 014 008 She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for the burial. 041 MAR 014 009 Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 041 MAR 014 010 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them. 041 MAR 014 011 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. 041 MAR 014 012 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? 041 MAR 014 013 And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. 041 MAR 014 014 And wherever he shall go in, say ye to the master of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? 041 MAR 014 015 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. 041 MAR 014 016 And his disciples went, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover. 041 MAR 014 017 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 041 MAR 014 018 And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you who eateth with me shall betray me. 041 MAR 014 019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 041 MAR 014 020 And he answered and said to them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 041 MAR 014 021 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. 041 MAR 014 022 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 041 MAR 014 023 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 041 MAR 014 024 And he said to them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 041 MAR 014 025 Verily I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 041 MAR 014 026 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. 041 MAR 014 027 And Jesus saith to them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 041 MAR 014 028 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 041 MAR 014 029 But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 041 MAR 014 030 And Jesus saith to him, Verily I say to thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock shall crow twice, thou shalt deny me three times. 041 MAR 014 031 But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any way. Likewise also said they all. 041 MAR 014 032 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 041 MAR 014 033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and to be very heavy; 041 MAR 014 034 And saith to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful to death: tarry ye here, and watch. 041 MAR 014 035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 041 MAR 014 036 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 041 MAR 014 037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 041 MAR 014 038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 041 MAR 014 039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words. 041 MAR 014 040 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, ( for their eyes were heavy, ) neither knew they what to answer him. 041 MAR 014 041 And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 041 MAR 014 042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. 041 MAR 014 043 And immediately, while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staffs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 041 MAR 014 044 And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 041 MAR 014 045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth immediately to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. 041 MAR 014 046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 041 MAR 014 047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 041 MAR 014 048 And Jesus answered and said to them, Have ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staffs to take me? 041 MAR 014 049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 041 MAR 014 050 And they all forsook him, and fled. 041 MAR 014 051 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: 041 MAR 014 052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. 041 MAR 014 053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 041 MAR 014 054 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the courtyard of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. 041 MAR 014 055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for testimony against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 041 MAR 014 056 For many bore false testimony against him, but their testimony agreed not together. 041 MAR 014 057 And there arose certain, and bore false testimony against him, saying, 041 MAR 014 058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 041 MAR 014 059 But neither so did their testimony agree together. 041 MAR 014 060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these testify against thee? 041 MAR 014 061 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 041 MAR 014 062 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 041 MAR 014 063 Then the high priest tore his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 041 MAR 014 064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 041 MAR 014 065 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the soldiers struck him with the palms of their hands. 041 MAR 014 066 And as Peter was down in the courtyard, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 041 MAR 014 067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 041 MAR 014 068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither do I understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed. 041 MAR 014 069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 041 MAR 014 070 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech showeth it. 041 MAR 014 071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 041 MAR 014 072 And the second time the cock crowed. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock shall crow twice, thou shalt deny me three times. And when he thought about it, he wept. 041 MAR 015 001 And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 041 MAR 015 002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest it. 041 MAR 015 003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 041 MAR 015 004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they testify against thee. 041 MAR 015 005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 041 MAR 015 006 Now at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whom they desired. 041 MAR 015 007 And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 041 MAR 015 008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done to them. 041 MAR 015 009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews? 041 MAR 015 010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 041 MAR 015 011 But the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 041 MAR 015 012 And Pilate answered and said again to them, What will ye then that I shall do to him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 041 MAR 015 013 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 041 MAR 015 014 Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. 041 MAR 015 015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified. 041 MAR 015 016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 041 MAR 015 017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 041 MAR 015 018 And began to greet him, Hail, King of the Jews! 041 MAR 015 019 And they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 041 MAR 015 020 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 041 MAR 015 021 And they compelled one Simon a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 041 MAR 015 022 And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 041 MAR 015 023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 041 MAR 015 024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 041 MAR 015 025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 041 MAR 015 026 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 041 MAR 015 027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 041 MAR 015 028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 041 MAR 015 029 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 041 MAR 015 030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 041 MAR 015 031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 041 MAR 015 032 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. 041 MAR 015 033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 041 MAR 015 034 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 041 MAR 015 035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. 041 MAR 015 036 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let him alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down. 041 MAR 015 037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 041 MAR 015 038 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 041 MAR 015 039 And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 041 MAR 015 040 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 041 MAR 015 041 ( Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; ) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. 041 MAR 015 042 And now when the evening was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 041 MAR 015 043 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 041 MAR 015 044 And Pilate wondered if he was already dead: and calling the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 041 MAR 015 045 And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 041 MAR 015 046 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. 041 MAR 015 047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. 041 MAR 016 001 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 041 MAR 016 002 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 041 MAR 016 003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 041 MAR 016 004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 041 MAR 016 005 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were amazed. 041 MAR 016 006 And he saith to them, Be not amazed: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 041 MAR 016 007 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you. 041 MAR 016 008 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. 041 MAR 016 009 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons. 041 MAR 016 010 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 041 MAR 016 011 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, believed not. 041 MAR 016 012 After that he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 041 MAR 016 013 And they went and told it to the rest: neither believed they them. 041 MAR 016 014 Afterward he appeared to the eleven as they sat eating, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them who had seen him after he was risen. 041 MAR 016 015 And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 041 MAR 016 016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 041 MAR 016 017 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak in new tongues; 041 MAR 016 018 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 041 MAR 016 019 So then after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 041 MAR 016 020 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. # # BOOK 042 LUK Luke Luke 042 LUK 001 001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 042 LUK 001 002 Even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 042 LUK 001 003 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 042 LUK 001 004 That thou mayest know the certainty of those things, in which thou hast been instructed. 042 LUK 001 005 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 042 LUK 001 006 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 042 LUK 001 007 And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years. 042 LUK 001 008 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, 042 LUK 001 009 According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 042 LUK 001 010 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the time of incense. 042 LUK 001 011 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 042 LUK 001 012 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 042 LUK 001 013 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 042 LUK 001 014 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 042 LUK 001 015 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 042 LUK 001 016 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 042 LUK 001 017 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 042 LUK 001 018 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well advanced in years. 042 LUK 001 019 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to thee, and to show thee these glad tidings. 042 LUK 001 020 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 042 LUK 001 021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 042 LUK 001 022 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he made signs to them, and remained speechless. 042 LUK 001 023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 042 LUK 001 024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 042 LUK 001 025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 042 LUK 001 026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 042 LUK 001 027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 042 LUK 001 028 And the angel came to her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 042 LUK 001 029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of greeting this should be. 042 LUK 001 030 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 042 LUK 001 031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 042 LUK 001 032 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David: 042 LUK 001 033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 001 034 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 042 LUK 001 035 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 042 LUK 001 036 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 042 LUK 001 037 For with God nothing shall be impossible. 042 LUK 001 038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 042 LUK 001 039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; 042 LUK 001 040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elisabeth. 042 LUK 001 041 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: 042 LUK 001 042 And she spoke with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 042 LUK 001 043 And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 042 LUK 001 044 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 042 LUK 001 045 And blessed is she that believed: that there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 042 LUK 001 046 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 042 LUK 001 047 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 042 LUK 001 048 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 042 LUK 001 049 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 042 LUK 001 050 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 042 LUK 001 051 He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 042 LUK 001 052 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 042 LUK 001 053 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent away empty. 042 LUK 001 054 He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 042 LUK 001 055 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 001 056 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. 042 LUK 001 057 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 042 LUK 001 058 And her neighbours and her cousins heard that the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. 042 LUK 001 059 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 042 LUK 001 060 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 042 LUK 001 061 And they said to her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 042 LUK 001 062 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. 042 LUK 001 063 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marvelled. 042 LUK 001 064 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God. 042 LUK 001 065 And fear came on all that dwelt around them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 042 LUK 001 066 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 042 LUK 001 067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, 042 LUK 001 068 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 042 LUK 001 069 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 042 LUK 001 070 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began: (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 001 071 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 042 LUK 001 072 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 042 LUK 001 073 The oath which he swore to our father Abraham, 042 LUK 001 074 That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 042 LUK 001 075 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 042 LUK 001 076 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 042 LUK 001 077 To give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins, 042 LUK 001 078 Through the tender mercy of our God; with which the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 042 LUK 001 079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 042 LUK 001 080 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel. 042 LUK 002 001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 042 LUK 002 002 ( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 042 LUK 002 003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 042 LUK 002 004 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; ( because he was of the house and lineage of David: ) 042 LUK 002 005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 042 LUK 002 006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 042 LUK 002 007 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 042 LUK 002 008 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 042 LUK 002 009 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them: and they were in great fear. 042 LUK 002 010 And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 042 LUK 002 011 For to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. 042 LUK 002 012 And this shall be a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 042 LUK 002 013 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 042 LUK 002 014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 042 LUK 002 015 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us. 042 LUK 002 016 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 042 LUK 002 017 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 042 LUK 002 018 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 042 LUK 002 019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 042 LUK 002 020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them. 042 LUK 002 021 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 042 LUK 002 022 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; 042 LUK 002 023 ( As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; ) 042 LUK 002 024 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 042 LUK 002 025 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 042 LUK 002 026 And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 042 LUK 002 027 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 042 LUK 002 028 Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 042 LUK 002 029 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 042 LUK 002 030 For my eyes have seen thy salvation, 042 LUK 002 031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 042 LUK 002 032 A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 042 LUK 002 033 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken concerning him. 042 LUK 002 034 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 042 LUK 002 035 ( And, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 042 LUK 002 036 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 042 LUK 002 037 And she was a widow of about eighty and four years, who departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 042 LUK 002 038 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 042 LUK 002 039 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 042 LUK 002 040 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 042 LUK 002 041 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 042 LUK 002 042 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 042 LUK 002 043 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 042 LUK 002 044 But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 042 LUK 002 045 And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 042 LUK 002 046 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 042 LUK 002 047 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 042 LUK 002 048 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 042 LUK 002 049 And he said to them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 042 LUK 002 050 And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them. 042 LUK 002 051 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 042 LUK 002 052 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. 042 LUK 003 001 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 042 LUK 003 002 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 042 LUK 003 003 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 042 LUK 003 004 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 042 LUK 003 005 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 042 LUK 003 006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 042 LUK 003 007 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 042 LUK 003 008 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 042 LUK 003 009 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 042 LUK 003 010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 042 LUK 003 011 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise. 042 LUK 003 012 Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do? 042 LUK 003 013 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 042 LUK 003 014 And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 042 LUK 003 015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not; 042 LUK 003 016 John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you in water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 042 LUK 003 017 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 042 LUK 003 018 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people. 042 LUK 003 019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 042 LUK 003 020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 042 LUK 003 021 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 042 LUK 003 022 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 042 LUK 003 023 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being ( as was supposed ) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli, 042 LUK 003 024 Who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Janna, who was the son of Joseph, 042 LUK 003 025 Who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Amos, who was the son of Nahum, who was the son of Esli, who was the son of Nagge, 042 LUK 003 026 Who was the son of Maath, who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Semei, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Judah, 042 LUK 003 027 Who was the son of Joanna, who was the son of Rhesa, who was the son of Zerubbabel, who was the son of Shealtiel, who was the son of Neri, 042 LUK 003 028 Who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Addi, who was the son of Cosam, who was the son of Elmodam, who was the son of Er, 042 LUK 003 029 Who was the son of Joshua, who was the son of Eliezer, who was the son of Jorim, who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, 042 LUK 003 030 Who was the son of Simeon, who was the son of Judas, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Jonan, who was the son of Eliakim, 042 LUK 003 031 Who was the son of Melea, who was the son of Menan, who was the son of Mattatha, who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David, 042 LUK 003 032 Who was the son of Jesse, who was the son of Obed, who was the son of Boaz, who was the son of Salmon, who was the son of Nahshon, 042 LUK 003 033 Who was the son of Amminadab, who was the son of Ram, who was the son of Hezron, who was the son of Perez, who was the son of Judah, 042 LUK 003 034 Who was the son of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, who was the son of Terah, who was the son of Nahor, 042 LUK 003 035 Who was the son of Serug, who was the son of Reu, who was the son of Peleg, who was the son of Eber, who was the son of Shelah, 042 LUK 003 036 Who was the son of Cainan, who was the son of Arphaxad, who was the son of Shem, who was the son of Noah, who was the son of Lamech, 042 LUK 003 037 Who was the son of Methuselah, who was the son of Enoch, who was the son of Jared, who was the son of Mahalaleel, who was the son of Cainan, 042 LUK 003 038 Who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God. 042 LUK 004 001 And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 042 LUK 004 002 Being forty days tempted by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing: and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry. 042 LUK 004 003 And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 042 LUK 004 004 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 042 LUK 004 005 And the devil, taking him up upon an high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 042 LUK 004 006 And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me; and to whomever I will I give it. 042 LUK 004 007 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 042 LUK 004 008 And Jesus answered and said to him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 042 LUK 004 009 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from here: 042 LUK 004 010 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 042 LUK 004 011 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 042 LUK 004 012 And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 042 LUK 004 013 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 042 LUK 004 014 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the surrounding region. 042 LUK 004 015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. 042 LUK 004 016 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath, and stood up to read. 042 LUK 004 017 And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 042 LUK 004 018 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 042 LUK 004 019 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 042 LUK 004 020 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 042 LUK 004 021 And he began to say to them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 042 LUK 004 022 And all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 042 LUK 004 023 And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 042 LUK 004 024 And he said, Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 042 LUK 004 025 But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 042 LUK 004 026 But to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow. 042 LUK 004 027 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian. 042 LUK 004 028 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 042 LUK 004 029 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 042 LUK 004 030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 042 LUK 004 031 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 042 LUK 004 032 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 042 LUK 004 033 And in the synagogue there was a man, who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 042 LUK 004 034 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 042 LUK 004 035 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 042 LUK 004 036 And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 042 LUK 004 037 And the fame of him went out into every place in the surrounding country. 042 LUK 004 038 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And the mother of Simon’s wife was sick with a high fever; and they besought him for her. 042 LUK 004 039 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them. 042 LUK 004 040 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 042 LUK 004 041 And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them did not allow them to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 042 LUK 004 042 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came to him, and would have restrained him, that he should not depart from them. 042 LUK 004 043 And he said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 042 LUK 004 044 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. 042 LUK 005 001 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 042 LUK 005 002 And saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 042 LUK 005 003 And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat. 042 LUK 005 004 Now when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 042 LUK 005 005 And Simon answering said to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 042 LUK 005 006 And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. 042 LUK 005 007 And they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 042 LUK 005 008 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 042 LUK 005 009 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 042 LUK 005 010 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 042 LUK 005 011 And when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 042 LUK 005 012 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 042 LUK 005 013 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 042 LUK 005 014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 042 LUK 005 015 But so much the more a fame of him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 042 LUK 005 016 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. 042 LUK 005 017 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 042 LUK 005 018 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man who was sick with the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 042 LUK 005 019 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. 042 LUK 005 020 And when he saw their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 042 LUK 005 021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 042 LUK 005 022 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts? 042 LUK 005 023 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise and walk? 042 LUK 005 024 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (he said to the sick with the palsy, ) I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. 042 LUK 005 025 And immediately he arose before them, and took up what he had been laying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 042 LUK 005 026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. 042 LUK 005 027 And after these things he went forth, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office: and he said to him, Follow me. 042 LUK 005 028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 042 LUK 005 029 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of tax collectors and of others that sat down with them. 042 LUK 005 030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? 042 LUK 005 031 And Jesus answering said to them, They that are well need not a physician; but they that are sick. 042 LUK 005 032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 042 LUK 005 033 And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? 042 LUK 005 034 And he said to them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 042 LUK 005 035 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days. 042 LUK 005 036 And he spoke also a parable to them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if so, then both the new maketh a tear, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. 042 LUK 005 037 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 042 LUK 005 038 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 042 LUK 005 039 No man also having drunk old wine immediately desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. 042 LUK 006 001 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through grain fields; and his disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands. 042 LUK 006 002 And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 042 LUK 006 003 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they who were with him; 042 LUK 006 004 How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 042 LUK 006 005 And he said to them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 042 LUK 006 006 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. 042 LUK 006 007 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him. 042 LUK 006 008 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Arise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 042 LUK 006 009 Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 042 LUK 006 010 And looking around upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored well as the other. 042 LUK 006 011 And they were filled with rage; and conferred one with another what they might do to Jesus. 042 LUK 006 012 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 042 LUK 006 013 And when it was day, he called to him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 042 LUK 006 014 Simon, ( whom he also named Peter, ) and Andrew his brother, James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, 042 LUK 006 015 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 042 LUK 006 016 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor. 042 LUK 006 017 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 042 LUK 006 018 And they that were tormented with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 042 LUK 006 019 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went power out of him, and healed them all. 042 LUK 006 020 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 006 021 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 042 LUK 006 022 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 042 LUK 006 023 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers to the prophets. 042 LUK 006 024 But woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 042 LUK 006 025 Woe to you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 042 LUK 006 026 Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 042 LUK 006 027 But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you, 042 LUK 006 028 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you. 042 LUK 006 029 And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 042 LUK 006 030 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 042 LUK 006 031 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 042 LUK 006 032 For if ye love them who love you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 042 LUK 006 033 And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 042 LUK 006 034 And if ye lend to them from whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much in return. 042 LUK 006 035 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil. 042 LUK 006 036 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 042 LUK 006 037 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 042 LUK 006 038 Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye measure it shall be measured to you again. 042 LUK 006 039 And he spoke a parable to them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 042 LUK 006 040 The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one that is perfect shall be as his teacher. 042 LUK 006 041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye? 042 LUK 006 042 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. 042 LUK 006 043 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 042 LUK 006 044 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes. 042 LUK 006 045 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 042 LUK 006 046 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 042 LUK 006 047 Whoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like: 042 LUK 006 048 He is like a man who built an house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 042 LUK 006 049 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house on the earth; against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. 042 LUK 007 001 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 042 LUK 007 002 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die. 042 LUK 007 003 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 042 LUK 007 004 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: 042 LUK 007 005 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 042 LUK 007 006 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: 042 LUK 007 007 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 042 LUK 007 008 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 042 LUK 007 009 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himself about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 042 LUK 007 010 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick. 042 LUK 007 011 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and many people. 042 LUK 007 012 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her. 042 LUK 007 013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not. 042 LUK 007 014 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise. 042 LUK 007 015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 042 LUK 007 016 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 042 LUK 007 017 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the surrounding region. 042 LUK 007 018 And the disciples of John reported to him of all these things. 042 LUK 007 019 And John calling two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 042 LUK 007 020 When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 042 LUK 007 021 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight. 042 LUK 007 022 Then Jesus answering said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 042 LUK 007 023 And blessed is he, who shall not be offended because of me. 042 LUK 007 024 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 042 LUK 007 025 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. 042 LUK 007 026 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. 042 LUK 007 027 This is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 042 LUK 007 028 For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 042 LUK 007 029 And all the people that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 042 LUK 007 030 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him. 042 LUK 007 031 And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? 042 LUK 007 032 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 042 LUK 007 033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon. 042 LUK 007 034 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! 042 LUK 007 035 But wisdom is justified by all her children. 042 LUK 007 036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. 042 LUK 007 037 And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 042 LUK 007 038 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 042 LUK 007 039 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. 042 LUK 007 040 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Master, say it. 042 LUK 007 041 There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 042 LUK 007 042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 042 LUK 007 043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged. 042 LUK 007 044 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 042 LUK 007 045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 042 LUK 007 046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 042 LUK 007 047 Therefore I say to thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 042 LUK 007 048 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. 042 LUK 007 049 And they that were eating with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 042 LUK 007 050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. 042 LUK 008 001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 042 LUK 008 002 And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons, 042 LUK 008 003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance. 042 LUK 008 004 And when many people were gathered together, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable: 042 LUK 008 005 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 042 LUK 008 006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 042 LUK 008 007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 042 LUK 008 008 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 042 LUK 008 009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What doth this parable mean? 042 LUK 008 010 And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 042 LUK 008 011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 042 LUK 008 012 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 042 LUK 008 013 They on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 042 LUK 008 014 And that which fell among thorns are they, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 042 LUK 008 015 But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 042 LUK 008 016 No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that they who enter in may see the light. 042 LUK 008 017 For nothing is secret, that shall not become evident; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come to light. 042 LUK 008 018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoever hath, to him shall be given; and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. 042 LUK 008 019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near to him for the crowd. 042 LUK 008 020 And it was told to him by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee. 042 LUK 008 021 And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it. 042 LUK 008 022 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 042 LUK 008 023 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 042 LUK 008 024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 042 LUK 008 025 And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid marvelled, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. 042 LUK 008 026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 042 LUK 008 027 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 042 LUK 008 028 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 042 LUK 008 029 ( For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.) 042 LUK 008 030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many demons had entered into him. 042 LUK 008 031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12) 042 LUK 008 032 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he permitted them. 042 LUK 008 033 Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 042 LUK 008 034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 042 LUK 008 035 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 042 LUK 008 036 They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed. 042 LUK 008 037 Then the whole multitude of the country of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and he went into the boat, and returned back again. 042 LUK 008 038 Now the man out of whom the demons had departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 042 LUK 008 039 Return to thy own house, and show what great things God hath done to thee. And he went away, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him. 042 LUK 008 040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 042 LUK 008 041 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house: 042 LUK 008 042 For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he was going the people thronged him. 042 LUK 008 043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any, 042 LUK 008 044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stopped. 042 LUK 008 045 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 042 LUK 008 046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that power hath gone out of me. 042 LUK 008 047 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 042 LUK 008 048 And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace. 042 LUK 008 049 While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 042 LUK 008 050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made well. 042 LUK 008 051 And when he came into the house, he allowed no man to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 042 LUK 008 052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 042 LUK 008 053 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 042 LUK 008 054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 042 LUK 008 055 And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately: and he commanded to give her something to eat. 042 LUK 008 056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. 042 LUK 009 001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 042 LUK 009 002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 042 LUK 009 003 And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staffs, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. 042 LUK 009 004 And whatever house ye enter into, there abide, and from there depart. 042 LUK 009 005 And whoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 042 LUK 009 006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. 042 LUK 009 007 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead; 042 LUK 009 008 And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets had risen again. 042 LUK 009 009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. 042 LUK 009 010 And the apostles, when they had returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 042 LUK 009 011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 042 LUK 009 012 And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge, and get food: for we are here in a deserted place. 042 LUK 009 013 But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people. 042 LUK 009 014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 042 LUK 009 015 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 042 LUK 009 016 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 042 LUK 009 017 And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. 042 LUK 009 018 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am? 042 LUK 009 019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 042 LUK 009 020 He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 042 LUK 009 021 And he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 042 LUK 009 022 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. 042 LUK 009 023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 042 LUK 009 024 For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 042 LUK 009 025 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 042 LUK 009 026 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of his Father, and of the holy angels. 042 LUK 009 027 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 009 028 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up upon a mountain to pray. 042 LUK 009 029 And as he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and shining. 042 LUK 009 030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah: 042 LUK 009 031 Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 042 LUK 009 032 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 042 LUK 009 033 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said. 042 LUK 009 034 While he was thus speaking, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 042 LUK 009 035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 042 LUK 009 036 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. 042 LUK 009 037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, many people met him. 042 LUK 009 038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is my only child. 042 LUK 009 039 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. 042 LUK 009 040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. 042 LUK 009 041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and put up with you? Bring thy son here. 042 LUK 009 042 And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father. 042 LUK 009 043 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all amazed at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 042 LUK 009 044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. 042 LUK 009 045 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying. 042 LUK 009 046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 042 LUK 009 047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 042 LUK 009 048 And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. 042 LUK 009 049 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 042 LUK 009 050 And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. 042 LUK 009 051 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 042 LUK 009 052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 042 LUK 009 053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 042 LUK 009 054 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did? 042 LUK 009 055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 042 LUK 009 056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. 042 LUK 009 057 And it came to pass, that, as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee wherever thou goest. 042 LUK 009 058 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath no where to lay his head. 042 LUK 009 059 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. 042 LUK 009 060 Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 009 061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell, who are at my house. 042 LUK 009 062 And Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 010 001 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would come. 042 LUK 010 002 Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 042 LUK 010 003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 042 LUK 010 004 Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor shoes: and greet no man by the way. 042 LUK 010 005 And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 042 LUK 010 006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 042 LUK 010 007 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 042 LUK 010 008 And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 042 LUK 010 009 And heal the sick that are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come near to you. 042 LUK 010 010 But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say, 042 LUK 010 011 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: however be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come near to you. 042 LUK 010 012 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 042 LUK 010 013 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 042 LUK 010 014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 042 LUK 010 015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell. (Hadēs g86) 042 LUK 010 016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. 042 LUK 010 017 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name. 042 LUK 010 018 And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 042 LUK 010 019 Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 042 LUK 010 020 However in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 042 LUK 010 021 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 042 LUK 010 022 All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 042 LUK 010 023 And he turned himself to his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: 042 LUK 010 024 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 042 LUK 010 025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166) 042 LUK 010 026 He said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 042 LUK 010 027 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 042 LUK 010 028 And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 042 LUK 010 029 But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 042 LUK 010 030 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 042 LUK 010 031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 042 LUK 010 032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 042 LUK 010 033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 042 LUK 010 034 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 042 LUK 010 035 And on the next day when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 042 LUK 010 036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour to him that fell among the thieves? 042 LUK 010 037 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise. 042 LUK 010 038 Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 042 LUK 010 039 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 042 LUK 010 040 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 042 LUK 010 041 And Jesus answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art worried and troubled about many things: 042 LUK 010 042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. 042 LUK 011 001 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 042 LUK 011 002 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. 042 LUK 011 003 Give us day by day our daily bread. 042 LUK 011 004 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 042 LUK 011 005 And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 042 LUK 011 006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 042 LUK 011 007 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 042 LUK 011 008 I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 042 LUK 011 009 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. 042 LUK 011 010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 042 LUK 011 011 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he shall ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 042 LUK 011 012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 042 LUK 011 013 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? 042 LUK 011 014 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people marvelled. 042 LUK 011 015 But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons. 042 LUK 011 016 And others, tempting him, sought from him a sign from heaven. 042 LUK 011 017 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 042 LUK 011 018 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub. 042 LUK 011 019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 042 LUK 011 020 But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 042 LUK 011 021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 042 LUK 011 022 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 042 LUK 011 023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 042 LUK 011 024 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house from which I came out. 042 LUK 011 025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 042 LUK 011 026 Then he goeth, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. 042 LUK 011 027 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts which nourished thee. 042 LUK 011 028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 042 LUK 011 029 And when the people were thickly gathered together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet. 042 LUK 011 030 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation. 042 LUK 011 031 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 042 LUK 011 032 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here. 042 LUK 011 033 No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a basket, but on a lampstand, that they who come in may see the light. 042 LUK 011 034 The lamp of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is clear, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thy eye is bad, thy body also is full of darkness. 042 LUK 011 035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 042 LUK 011 036 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp doth give thee light. 042 LUK 011 037 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat. 042 LUK 011 038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 042 LUK 011 039 And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness. 042 LUK 011 040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 042 LUK 011 041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean to you. 042 LUK 011 042 But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over justice and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone. 042 LUK 011 043 Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the best seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 042 LUK 011 044 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 042 LUK 011 045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 042 LUK 011 046 And he said, Woe to you also, ye lawyers! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 042 LUK 011 047 Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 042 LUK 011 048 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 042 LUK 011 049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 042 LUK 011 050 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 042 LUK 011 051 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. 042 LUK 011 052 Woe to you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. 042 LUK 011 053 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 042 LUK 011 054 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him. 042 LUK 012 001 In the mean time, when there was gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trampled one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 042 LUK 012 002 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 042 LUK 012 003 Therefore whatever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 042 LUK 012 004 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 042 LUK 012 005 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067) 042 LUK 012 006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 042 LUK 012 007 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 042 LUK 012 008 Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 042 LUK 012 009 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 042 LUK 012 010 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. 042 LUK 012 011 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not anxious how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 042 LUK 012 012 For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 042 LUK 012 013 And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 042 LUK 012 014 And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 042 LUK 012 015 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 042 LUK 012 016 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 042 LUK 012 017 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where to store my fruits? 042 LUK 012 018 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods. 042 LUK 012 019 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 042 LUK 012 020 But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 042 LUK 012 021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 042 LUK 012 022 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 042 LUK 012 023 The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment. 042 LUK 012 024 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 042 LUK 012 025 And which of you by being anxious can add to his stature one cubit? 042 LUK 012 026 If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for the rest? 042 LUK 012 027 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 042 LUK 012 028 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 042 LUK 012 029 And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 042 LUK 012 030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 042 LUK 012 031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you. 042 LUK 012 032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 042 LUK 012 033 Sell what ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 042 LUK 012 034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 042 LUK 012 035 Let your loins be girt, and your lamps burning; 042 LUK 012 036 And ye yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. 042 LUK 012 037 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them. 042 LUK 012 038 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 042 LUK 012 039 And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have allowed his house to be broken into. 042 LUK 012 040 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 042 LUK 012 041 Then Peter said to him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or even to all? 042 LUK 012 042 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? 042 LUK 012 043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 042 LUK 012 044 Truly I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 042 LUK 012 045 But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk; 042 LUK 012 046 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 042 LUK 012 047 And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 042 LUK 012 048 But he that knew not, and committed things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more. 042 LUK 012 049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it is already kindled? 042 LUK 012 050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I constrained till it shall be accomplished! 042 LUK 012 051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 042 LUK 012 052 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 042 LUK 012 053 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 042 LUK 012 054 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 042 LUK 012 055 And when ye see the south wind blowing, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 042 LUK 012 056 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 042 LUK 012 057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 042 LUK 012 058 When thou goest with thy adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he drag thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 042 LUK 012 059 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart from there, till thou hast paid the very last mite. 042 LUK 013 001 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 042 LUK 013 002 And Jesus answering said to them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 042 LUK 013 003 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 042 LUK 013 004 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 042 LUK 013 005 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 042 LUK 013 006 He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none. 042 LUK 013 007 Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 042 LUK 013 008 And he answering said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 042 LUK 013 009 And if it shall bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. 042 LUK 013 010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 042 LUK 013 011 And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no way raise herself. 042 LUK 013 012 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity. 042 LUK 013 013 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 042 LUK 013 014 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 042 LUK 013 015 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 042 LUK 013 016 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 042 LUK 013 017 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. 042 LUK 013 018 Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it? 042 LUK 013 019 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in its branches. 042 LUK 013 020 And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 042 LUK 013 021 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 042 LUK 013 022 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 042 LUK 013 023 Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them, 042 LUK 013 024 Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 042 LUK 013 025 When once the master of the house hath risen up, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not where ye are from: 042 LUK 013 026 Then ye shall begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 042 LUK 013 027 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not where ye are from; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 042 LUK 013 028 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 042 LUK 013 029 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 013 030 And, behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last. 042 LUK 013 031 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Go away, and depart from here: for Herod will kill thee. 042 LUK 013 032 And he said to them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 042 LUK 013 033 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem. 042 LUK 013 034 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 042 LUK 013 035 Behold, your house is left to you desolate: and verily I say to you, Ye shall not see me, until the time shall come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 042 LUK 014 001 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him. 042 LUK 014 002 And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy. 042 LUK 014 003 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? 042 LUK 014 004 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; 042 LUK 014 005 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day? 042 LUK 014 006 And they could not answer him again to these things. 042 LUK 014 007 And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying to them, 042 LUK 014 008 When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the best place; lest a more honourable man than thou be invited by him; 042 LUK 014 009 And he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. 042 LUK 014 010 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating with thee. 042 LUK 014 011 For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 042 LUK 014 012 Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou givest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 042 LUK 014 013 But when thou givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 042 LUK 014 014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. 042 LUK 014 015 And when one of them that sat eating with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 014 016 Then said he to him, A certain man gave a great supper, and invited many: 042 LUK 014 017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things are now ready. 042 LUK 014 018 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 042 LUK 014 019 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them out: I pray thee have me excused. 042 LUK 014 020 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 042 LUK 014 021 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind. 042 LUK 014 022 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 042 LUK 014 023 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 042 LUK 014 024 For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper. 042 LUK 014 025 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them, 042 LUK 014 026 If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 042 LUK 014 027 And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 042 LUK 014 028 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it? 042 LUK 014 029 Lest perhaps, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 042 LUK 014 030 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 042 LUK 014 031 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 042 LUK 014 032 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth a delegation, and desireth conditions of peace. 042 LUK 014 033 So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 042 LUK 014 034 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be seasoned? 042 LUK 014 035 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 042 LUK 015 001 Then drew near to him all the tax collectors and sinners to hear him. 042 LUK 015 002 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 042 LUK 015 003 And he spoke this parable to them, saying, 042 LUK 015 004 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it? 042 LUK 015 005 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 042 LUK 015 006 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 042 LUK 015 007 I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance. 042 LUK 015 008 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it? 042 LUK 015 009 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 042 LUK 015 010 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. 042 LUK 015 011 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 042 LUK 015 012 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living. 042 LUK 015 013 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 042 LUK 015 014 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 042 LUK 015 015 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 042 LUK 015 016 And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the swine ate: and no man gave to him. 042 LUK 015 017 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger! 042 LUK 015 018 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 042 LUK 015 019 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 042 LUK 015 020 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 042 LUK 015 021 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 042 LUK 015 022 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 042 LUK 015 023 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 042 LUK 015 024 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 042 LUK 015 025 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 042 LUK 015 026 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 042 LUK 015 027 And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 042 LUK 015 028 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and entreated him. 042 LUK 015 029 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 042 LUK 015 030 But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 042 LUK 015 031 And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 042 LUK 015 032 It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. 042 LUK 016 001 And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods. 042 LUK 016 002 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 042 LUK 016 003 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 042 LUK 016 004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 042 LUK 016 005 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? 042 LUK 016 006 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 042 LUK 016 007 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty. 042 LUK 016 008 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 016 009 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends by the riches of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166) 042 LUK 016 010 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 042 LUK 016 011 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 042 LUK 016 012 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? 042 LUK 016 013 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches. 042 LUK 016 014 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they mocked him. 042 LUK 016 015 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. 042 LUK 016 016 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 042 LUK 016 017 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail. 042 LUK 016 018 Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. 042 LUK 016 019 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 042 LUK 016 020 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, 042 LUK 016 021 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 042 LUK 016 022 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 042 LUK 016 023 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86) 042 LUK 016 024 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 042 LUK 016 025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime didst receive thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 042 LUK 016 026 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there. 042 LUK 016 027 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 042 LUK 016 028 For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 042 LUK 016 029 Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 042 LUK 016 030 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent. 042 LUK 016 031 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. 042 LUK 017 001 Then he said to the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe to him, by whom they come! 042 LUK 017 002 It were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 042 LUK 017 003 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he shall repent, forgive him. 042 LUK 017 004 And if he tresspasses against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 042 LUK 017 005 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. 042 LUK 017 006 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 042 LUK 017 007 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him immediately, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to eat? 042 LUK 017 008 And will not rather say to him, Make ready something that I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 042 LUK 017 009 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 042 LUK 017 010 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded to you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. 042 LUK 017 011 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 042 LUK 017 012 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off: 042 LUK 017 013 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 042 LUK 017 014 And when he saw them, he said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were going, they were cleansed. 042 LUK 017 015 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 042 LUK 017 016 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 042 LUK 017 017 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 042 LUK 017 018 There are not found returning to give glory to God, except this stranger. 042 LUK 017 019 And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee well. 042 LUK 017 020 And when he was asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 042 LUK 017 021 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 042 LUK 017 022 And he said to his disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 042 LUK 017 023 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 042 LUK 017 024 For as the lightning, that lighteneth from the one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 042 LUK 017 025 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. 042 LUK 017 026 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 042 LUK 017 027 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 042 LUK 017 028 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 042 LUK 017 029 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 042 LUK 017 030 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 042 LUK 017 031 In that day, he who shall be upon the housetop, and his furniture in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 042 LUK 017 032 Remember Lot’s wife. 042 LUK 017 033 Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 042 LUK 017 034 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 042 LUK 017 035 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 042 LUK 017 036 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 042 LUK 017 037 And they answered and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 042 LUK 018 001 And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 042 LUK 018 002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man: 042 LUK 018 003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary. 042 LUK 018 004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 042 LUK 018 005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 042 LUK 018 006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 042 LUK 018 007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he beareth long with them? 042 LUK 018 008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 042 LUK 018 009 And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 042 LUK 018 010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. 042 LUK 018 011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 042 LUK 018 012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 042 LUK 018 013 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 042 LUK 018 014 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 042 LUK 018 015 And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 042 LUK 018 016 But Jesus called them to him, and said, Permit the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 018 017 Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter into it. 042 LUK 018 018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166) 042 LUK 018 019 And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, except one, that is, God. 042 LUK 018 020 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 042 LUK 018 021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth. 042 LUK 018 022 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 042 LUK 018 023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 042 LUK 018 024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hard it is for them that have riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 042 LUK 018 025 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 018 026 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? 042 LUK 018 027 But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. 042 LUK 018 028 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. 042 LUK 018 029 And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 042 LUK 018 030 Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 042 LUK 018 031 Then he took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 042 LUK 018 032 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spitted on: 042 LUK 018 033 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 042 LUK 018 034 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. 042 LUK 018 035 And it came to pass, that as he had come near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 042 LUK 018 036 And hearing the multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 042 LUK 018 037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 042 LUK 018 038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 042 LUK 018 039 And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 042 LUK 018 040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him, 042 LUK 018 041 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 042 LUK 018 042 And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 042 LUK 018 043 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. 042 LUK 019 001 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 042 LUK 019 002 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich. 042 LUK 019 003 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. 042 LUK 019 004 And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 042 LUK 019 005 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 042 LUK 019 006 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 042 LUK 019 007 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 042 LUK 019 008 And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 042 LUK 019 009 And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. 042 LUK 019 010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 042 LUK 019 011 And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 042 LUK 019 012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 042 LUK 019 013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come. 042 LUK 019 014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 042 LUK 019 015 And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 042 LUK 019 016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 042 LUK 019 017 And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 042 LUK 019 018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 042 LUK 019 019 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 042 LUK 019 020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 042 LUK 019 021 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow. 042 LUK 019 022 And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow: 042 LUK 019 023 Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest? 042 LUK 019 024 And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 042 LUK 019 025 ( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 042 LUK 019 026 For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him. 042 LUK 019 027 But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me. 042 LUK 019 028 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, going up to Jerusalem. 042 LUK 019 029 And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 042 LUK 019 030 Saying, Go ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here. 042 LUK 019 031 And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 042 LUK 019 032 And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to them. 042 LUK 019 033 And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt? 042 LUK 019 034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 042 LUK 019 035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it. 042 LUK 019 036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 042 LUK 019 037 And when he had come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 042 LUK 019 038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 042 LUK 019 039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 042 LUK 019 040 And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 042 LUK 019 041 And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 042 LUK 019 042 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes. 042 LUK 019 043 For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee in on every side, 042 LUK 019 044 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 042 LUK 019 045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought; 042 LUK 019 046 Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 042 LUK 019 047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 042 LUK 019 048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. 042 LUK 020 001 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 042 LUK 020 002 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 042 LUK 020 003 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 042 LUK 020 004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? 042 LUK 020 005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 042 LUK 020 006 But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. 042 LUK 020 007 And they answered, that they could not tell where it was from. 042 LUK 020 008 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. 042 LUK 020 009 Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. 042 LUK 020 010 And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty. 042 LUK 020 011 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 042 LUK 020 012 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 042 LUK 020 013 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him. 042 LUK 020 014 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 042 LUK 020 015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them? 042 LUK 020 016 He shall come and destroy these vinedressers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that never be. 042 LUK 020 017 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? 042 LUK 020 018 Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 042 LUK 020 019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. 042 LUK 020 020 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor. 042 LUK 020 021 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: 042 LUK 020 022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 042 LUK 020 023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me? 042 LUK 020 024 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s. 042 LUK 020 025 And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which are God’s. 042 LUK 020 026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. 042 LUK 020 027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, 042 LUK 020 028 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man’s brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 042 LUK 020 029 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 042 LUK 020 030 And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless. 042 LUK 020 031 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 042 LUK 020 032 Last of all the woman died also. 042 LUK 020 033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her for a wife. 042 LUK 020 034 And Jesus answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 020 035 But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 020 036 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 042 LUK 020 037 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 042 LUK 020 038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. 042 LUK 020 039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 042 LUK 020 040 And after that they dared not ask him any question at all. 042 LUK 020 041 And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son? 042 LUK 020 042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 042 LUK 020 043 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool. 042 LUK 020 044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 042 LUK 020 045 Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, 042 LUK 020 046 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts; 042 LUK 020 047 Who devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater condemnation. 042 LUK 021 001 And he looked up, and saw rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 042 LUK 021 002 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in there two mites. 042 LUK 021 003 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 042 LUK 021 004 For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but she of her poverty hath cast in all the living that she had. 042 LUK 021 005 And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, he said, 042 LUK 021 006 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 042 LUK 021 007 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 042 LUK 021 008 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not after them. 042 LUK 021 009 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet. 042 LUK 021 010 Then said he to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 042 LUK 021 011 And great earthquakes shall be in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 042 LUK 021 012 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. 042 LUK 021 013 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 042 LUK 021 014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 042 LUK 021 015 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to speak against nor withstand. 042 LUK 021 016 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 042 LUK 021 017 And ye shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake. 042 LUK 021 018 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 042 LUK 021 019 In your patience possess ye your souls. 042 LUK 021 020 And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is near. 042 LUK 021 021 Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart from it; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it. 042 LUK 021 022 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 042 LUK 021 023 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 042 LUK 021 024 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled. 042 LUK 021 025 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 042 LUK 021 026 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for expectation of those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 042 LUK 021 027 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 042 LUK 021 028 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth near. 042 LUK 021 029 And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 042 LUK 021 030 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now near at hand. 042 LUK 021 031 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near at hand. 042 LUK 021 032 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 042 LUK 021 033 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 042 LUK 021 034 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with dissipation, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 042 LUK 021 035 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 042 LUK 021 036 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 042 LUK 021 037 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 042 LUK 021 038 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him. 042 LUK 022 001 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover. 042 LUK 022 002 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 042 LUK 022 003 Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 042 LUK 022 004 And he went his way, and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. 042 LUK 022 005 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 042 LUK 022 006 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude. 042 LUK 022 007 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 042 LUK 022 008 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat. 042 LUK 022 009 And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 042 LUK 022 010 And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth. 042 LUK 022 011 And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? 042 LUK 022 012 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 042 LUK 022 013 And they went, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover. 042 LUK 022 014 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 042 LUK 022 015 And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 042 LUK 022 016 For I say to you, I will not any more eat of it, until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 022 017 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it among yourselves: 042 LUK 022 018 For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 042 LUK 022 019 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 042 LUK 022 020 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 042 LUK 022 021 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 042 LUK 022 022 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! 042 LUK 022 023 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 042 LUK 022 024 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 042 LUK 022 025 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 042 LUK 022 026 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 042 LUK 022 027 For who is greater, he that eateth, or he that serveth? is not he that eateth? but I am among you as he that serveth. 042 LUK 022 028 Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations. 042 LUK 022 029 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me; 042 LUK 022 030 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 042 LUK 022 031 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 042 LUK 022 032 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 042 LUK 022 033 And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 042 LUK 022 034 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou shalt three times deny that thou knowest me. 042 LUK 022 035 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 042 LUK 022 036 Then said he to them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 042 LUK 022 037 For I say to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 042 LUK 022 038 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough. 042 LUK 022 039 And he came out, and went, as he was accustomed, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 042 LUK 022 040 And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 042 LUK 022 041 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 042 LUK 022 042 Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 042 LUK 022 043 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 042 LUK 022 044 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground. 042 LUK 022 045 And when he rose up from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 042 LUK 022 046 And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 042 LUK 022 047 And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. 042 LUK 022 048 But Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 042 LUK 022 049 When they who were about him saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 042 LUK 022 050 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 042 LUK 022 051 And Jesus answered and said, Permit ye even this. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 042 LUK 022 052 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staffs? 042 LUK 022 053 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 042 LUK 022 054 Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off. 042 LUK 022 055 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and were seated together, Peter sat down among them. 042 LUK 022 056 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 042 LUK 022 057 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 042 LUK 022 058 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 042 LUK 022 059 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Surely this man also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 042 LUK 022 060 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed. 042 LUK 022 061 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me three times. 042 LUK 022 062 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 042 LUK 022 063 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 042 LUK 022 064 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 042 LUK 022 065 And many other things blasphemously they spoke against him. 042 LUK 022 066 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 042 LUK 022 067 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 042 LUK 022 068 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 042 LUK 022 069 After this shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 042 LUK 022 070 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. 042 LUK 022 071 And they said, What need have we of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth. 042 LUK 023 001 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate. 042 LUK 023 002 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 042 LUK 023 003 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. 042 LUK 023 004 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 042 LUK 023 005 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee to this place. 042 LUK 023 006 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean. 042 LUK 023 007 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time. 042 LUK 023 008 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. 042 LUK 023 009 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 042 LUK 023 010 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 042 LUK 023 011 And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 042 LUK 023 012 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. 042 LUK 023 013 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 042 LUK 023 014 Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man concerning those things of which ye accuse him: 042 LUK 023 015 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him. 042 LUK 023 016 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 042 LUK 023 017 ( For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.) 042 LUK 023 018 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas: 042 LUK 023 019 ( Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 042 LUK 023 020 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. 042 LUK 023 021 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 042 LUK 023 022 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 042 LUK 023 023 And they were insistent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 042 LUK 023 024 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 042 LUK 023 025 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 042 LUK 023 026 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. 042 LUK 023 027 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him. 042 LUK 023 028 But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 042 LUK 023 029 For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nursed. 042 LUK 023 030 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 042 LUK 023 031 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 042 LUK 023 032 And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death. 042 LUK 023 033 And when they had come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 042 LUK 023 034 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 042 LUK 023 035 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them mocked him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God. 042 LUK 023 036 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 042 LUK 023 037 And saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself. 042 LUK 023 038 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 042 LUK 023 039 And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. 042 LUK 023 040 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 042 LUK 023 041 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 042 LUK 023 042 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 042 LUK 023 043 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 042 LUK 023 044 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 042 LUK 023 045 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the midst. 042 LUK 023 046 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 042 LUK 023 047 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 042 LUK 023 048 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 042 LUK 023 049 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. 042 LUK 023 050 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 042 LUK 023 051 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; ) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 023 052 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 042 LUK 023 053 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, where man was never before laid. 042 LUK 023 054 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 042 LUK 023 055 And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 042 LUK 023 056 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath according to the commandment. 042 LUK 024 001 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 042 LUK 024 002 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 042 LUK 024 003 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 042 LUK 024 004 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 042 LUK 024 005 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 042 LUK 024 006 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee, 042 LUK 024 007 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 042 LUK 024 008 And they remembered his words, 042 LUK 024 009 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 042 LUK 024 010 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles. 042 LUK 024 011 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 042 LUK 024 012 Then Peter arose, and ran to the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass. 042 LUK 024 013 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about sixty furlongs. 042 LUK 024 014 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 042 LUK 024 015 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 042 LUK 024 016 But their eyes were restrained that they should not know him. 042 LUK 024 017 And he said to them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 042 LUK 024 018 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days? 042 LUK 024 019 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 042 LUK 024 020 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 042 LUK 024 021 But we hoped that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel: and besides all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 042 LUK 024 022 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, who were early at the sepulchre; 042 LUK 024 023 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 042 LUK 024 024 And certain of them who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 042 LUK 024 025 Then he said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 042 LUK 024 026 Ought not Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 042 LUK 024 027 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 042 LUK 024 028 And they drew near to the village, where they were going: and he made as though he would go further. 042 LUK 024 029 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 042 LUK 024 030 And it came to pass, as he sat eating with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them. 042 LUK 024 031 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 042 LUK 024 032 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 042 LUK 024 033 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 042 LUK 024 034 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 042 LUK 024 035 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known to them in breaking of bread. 042 LUK 024 036 And as they were thus speaking, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, Peace be to you. 042 LUK 024 037 But they were terrified and trembled, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 042 LUK 024 038 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 042 LUK 024 039 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 042 LUK 024 040 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. 042 LUK 024 041 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye here any thing to eat? 042 LUK 024 042 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 042 LUK 024 043 And he took it, and ate before them. 042 LUK 024 044 And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 042 LUK 024 045 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 042 LUK 024 046 And said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 042 LUK 024 047 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 042 LUK 024 048 And ye are witnesses of these things. 042 LUK 024 049 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye are endued with power from on high. 042 LUK 024 050 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 042 LUK 024 051 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 042 LUK 024 052 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 042 LUK 024 053 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. # # BOOK 043 JOH John John 043 JOH 001 001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 043 JOH 001 002 The same was in the beginning with God. 043 JOH 001 003 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 043 JOH 001 004 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 043 JOH 001 005 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 043 JOH 001 006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 043 JOH 001 007 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 043 JOH 001 008 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 043 JOH 001 009 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 043 JOH 001 010 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 043 JOH 001 011 He came to his own, and his own received him not. 043 JOH 001 012 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 043 JOH 001 013 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 043 JOH 001 014 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth. 043 JOH 001 015 John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 043 JOH 001 016 And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace. 043 JOH 001 017 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 043 JOH 001 018 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 043 JOH 001 019 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 043 JOH 001 020 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. 043 JOH 001 021 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 043 JOH 001 022 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 043 JOH 001 023 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. 043 JOH 001 024 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees. 043 JOH 001 025 And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet? 043 JOH 001 026 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 043 JOH 001 027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to loose. 043 JOH 001 028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 043 JOH 001 029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. 043 JOH 001 030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is preferred before me: for he was before me. 043 JOH 001 031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing in water. 043 JOH 001 032 And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he abode upon him. 043 JOH 001 033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. 043 JOH 001 034 And I saw, and bore witness that this is the Son of God. 043 JOH 001 035 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 043 JOH 001 036 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 043 JOH 001 037 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 043 JOH 001 038 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi, ( which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou? 043 JOH 001 039 He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 043 JOH 001 040 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 043 JOH 001 041 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 043 JOH 001 042 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. 043 JOH 001 043 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me. 043 JOH 001 044 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 043 JOH 001 045 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 043 JOH 001 046 And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see. 043 JOH 001 047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 043 JOH 001 048 Nathanael saith to him, How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 043 JOH 001 049 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 043 JOH 001 050 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these. 043 JOH 001 051 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, After this ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. 043 JOH 002 001 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 043 JOH 002 002 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. 043 JOH 002 003 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no wine. 043 JOH 002 004 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my hour is not yet come. 043 JOH 002 005 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it. 043 JOH 002 006 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 043 JOH 002 007 Jesus saith to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them to the brim. 043 JOH 002 008 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear to the governor of the feast. And they bore it. 043 JOH 002 009 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not where it was from: ( but the servants who drew the water knew; ) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 043 JOH 002 010 And saith to him, Every man at the beginning serveth the good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 043 JOH 002 011 This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. 043 JOH 002 012 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. 043 JOH 002 013 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 043 JOH 002 014 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 043 JOH 002 015 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; 043 JOH 002 016 And said to them that sold doves, Take these things away; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. 043 JOH 002 017 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. 043 JOH 002 018 Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign showest thou to us, seeing that thou doest these things? 043 JOH 002 019 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 043 JOH 002 020 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? 043 JOH 002 021 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 043 JOH 002 022 When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken. 043 JOH 002 023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. 043 JOH 002 024 But Jesus did not commit himself to them, because he knew all men, 043 JOH 002 025 And needed not that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man. 043 JOH 003 001 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 043 JOH 003 002 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 043 JOH 003 003 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 043 JOH 003 004 Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 043 JOH 003 005 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 043 JOH 003 006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 043 JOH 003 007 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again. 043 JOH 003 008 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell where it cometh from, and where it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 043 JOH 003 009 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? 043 JOH 003 010 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? 043 JOH 003 011 Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 043 JOH 003 012 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things? 043 JOH 003 013 And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven. 043 JOH 003 014 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 043 JOH 003 015 That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 003 016 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 003 017 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him may be saved. 043 JOH 003 018 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 043 JOH 003 019 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 043 JOH 003 020 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 043 JOH 003 021 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 043 JOH 003 022 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 043 JOH 003 023 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 043 JOH 003 024 For John was not yet cast into prison. 043 JOH 003 025 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying. 043 JOH 003 026 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. 043 JOH 003 027 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 043 JOH 003 028 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 043 JOH 003 029 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 043 JOH 003 030 He must increase, but I must decrease. 043 JOH 003 031 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 043 JOH 003 032 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. 043 JOH 003 033 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 043 JOH 003 034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for to him God giveth not the Spirit by measure. 043 JOH 003 035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 043 JOH 003 036 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 004 001 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 043 JOH 004 002 ( Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, ) 043 JOH 004 003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 043 JOH 004 004 And he must needs go through Samaria. 043 JOH 004 005 Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 043 JOH 004 006 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 043 JOH 004 007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink. 043 JOH 004 008 ( For his disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.) 043 JOH 004 009 Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 043 JOH 004 010 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water. 043 JOH 004 011 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then hast thou that living water? 043 JOH 004 012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle? 043 JOH 004 013 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 043 JOH 004 014 But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 004 015 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come here to draw. 043 JOH 004 016 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here. 043 JOH 004 017 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 043 JOH 004 018 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth. 043 JOH 004 019 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 043 JOH 004 020 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 043 JOH 004 021 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 043 JOH 004 022 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is from the Jews. 043 JOH 004 023 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 043 JOH 004 024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 043 JOH 004 025 The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh, who is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 043 JOH 004 026 Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am he. 043 JOH 004 027 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 043 JOH 004 028 The woman then left her waterpot, and went into the city, and saith to the men, 043 JOH 004 029 Come, see a man, who hath told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 043 JOH 004 030 Then they went out of the city, and came to him. 043 JOH 004 031 In the mean while his disciples urged him, saying, Master, eat. 043 JOH 004 032 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of. 043 JOH 004 033 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him any thing to eat? 043 JOH 004 034 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 043 JOH 004 035 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 043 JOH 004 036 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit to life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 004 037 And in this case is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 043 JOH 004 038 I sent you to reap that on which ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye have entered into their labours. 043 JOH 004 039 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that ever I did. 043 JOH 004 040 So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 043 JOH 004 041 And many more believed because of his own word; 043 JOH 004 042 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. 043 JOH 004 043 Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee. 043 JOH 004 044 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 043 JOH 004 045 Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast. 043 JOH 004 046 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 043 JOH 004 047 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 043 JOH 004 048 Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 043 JOH 004 049 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child dieth. 043 JOH 004 050 Jesus saith to him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he departed. 043 JOH 004 051 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 043 JOH 004 052 Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 043 JOH 004 053 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he himself believed, and his whole house. 043 JOH 004 054 This is again the second miracle that Jesus performed, when he had come from Judaea into Galilee. 043 JOH 005 001 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 043 JOH 005 002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 043 JOH 005 003 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 043 JOH 005 004 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was healed of whatever disease he had. 043 JOH 005 005 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 043 JOH 005 006 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed? 043 JOH 005 007 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 043 JOH 005 008 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 043 JOH 005 009 And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. 043 JOH 005 010 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 043 JOH 005 011 He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 043 JOH 005 012 Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 043 JOH 005 013 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, a multitude being in that place. 043 JOH 005 014 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee. 043 JOH 005 015 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had healed him. 043 JOH 005 016 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath. 043 JOH 005 017 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh until now, and I work. 043 JOH 005 018 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 043 JOH 005 019 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 043 JOH 005 020 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 043 JOH 005 021 For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth life to them; even so the Son giveth life to whom he will. 043 JOH 005 022 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son: 043 JOH 005 023 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. 043 JOH 005 024 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 005 025 Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 043 JOH 005 026 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 043 JOH 005 027 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 043 JOH 005 028 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 043 JOH 005 029 And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation. 043 JOH 005 030 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me. 043 JOH 005 031 If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true. 043 JOH 005 032 There is another that beareth witness concerning me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth concerning me is true. 043 JOH 005 033 Ye sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth. 043 JOH 005 034 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved. 043 JOH 005 035 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 043 JOH 005 036 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. 043 JOH 005 037 And the Father himself, who hath sent me, hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 043 JOH 005 038 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 043 JOH 005 039 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 005 040 And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. 043 JOH 005 041 I receive not honour from men. 043 JOH 005 042 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 043 JOH 005 043 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 043 JOH 005 044 How can ye believe, who receive honour one from another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 043 JOH 005 045 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 043 JOH 005 046 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me. 043 JOH 005 047 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 043 JOH 006 001 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 043 JOH 006 002 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he performed on them that were diseased. 043 JOH 006 003 And Jesus went up on a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 043 JOH 006 004 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 043 JOH 006 005 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 043 JOH 006 006 And this he said to test him: for he himself knew what he would do. 043 JOH 006 007 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 043 JOH 006 008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith to him, 043 JOH 006 009 There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 043 JOH 006 010 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 043 JOH 006 011 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 043 JOH 006 012 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost. 043 JOH 006 013 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten. 043 JOH 006 014 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world. 043 JOH 006 015 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to a mountain himself alone. 043 JOH 006 016 And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea, 043 JOH 006 017 And entered into a boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 043 JOH 006 018 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 043 JOH 006 019 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat: and they were afraid. 043 JOH 006 020 But he saith to them, It is I; be not afraid. 043 JOH 006 021 Then they willingly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. 043 JOH 006 022 The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone; 043 JOH 006 023 ( However there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks: ) 043 JOH 006 024 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 043 JOH 006 025 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou here? 043 JOH 006 026 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. 043 JOH 006 027 Labour not for the food which perisheth, but for that food which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him hath God the Father sealed. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 028 Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? 043 JOH 006 029 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 043 JOH 006 030 They said therefore to him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 043 JOH 006 031 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 043 JOH 006 032 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 043 JOH 006 033 For the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. 043 JOH 006 034 Then said they to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 043 JOH 006 035 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 043 JOH 006 036 But I said to you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 043 JOH 006 037 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will by no means cast out. 043 JOH 006 038 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 043 JOH 006 039 And this is the Father’s will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise them up again at the last day. 043 JOH 006 040 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 041 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 043 JOH 006 042 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 043 JOH 006 043 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. 043 JOH 006 044 No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 043 JOH 006 045 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, cometh to me. 043 JOH 006 046 Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father. 043 JOH 006 047 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 048 I am that bread of life. 043 JOH 006 049 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 043 JOH 006 050 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. 043 JOH 006 051 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 006 052 The Jews therefore began to dispute among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 043 JOH 006 053 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 043 JOH 006 054 Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 055 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 043 JOH 006 056 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 043 JOH 006 057 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 043 JOH 006 058 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 006 059 These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 043 JOH 006 060 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 043 JOH 006 061 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Doth this offend you? 043 JOH 006 062 What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 043 JOH 006 063 It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life. 043 JOH 006 064 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him. 043 JOH 006 065 And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him by my Father. 043 JOH 006 066 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 043 JOH 006 067 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also go away? 043 JOH 006 068 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 069 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 043 JOH 006 070 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 043 JOH 006 071 He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for it was he that was to betray him, being one of the twelve. 043 JOH 007 001 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 043 JOH 007 002 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. 043 JOH 007 003 His brethren therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 043 JOH 007 004 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world. 043 JOH 007 005 For neither did his brethren believe in him. 043 JOH 007 006 Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. 043 JOH 007 007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. 043 JOH 007 008 Go ye up to this feast: I go not up yet to this feast; for my time is not yet full come. 043 JOH 007 009 When he had said these words to them, he abode still in Galilee. 043 JOH 007 010 But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 043 JOH 007 011 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 043 JOH 007 012 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 043 JOH 007 013 Yet no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. 043 JOH 007 014 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 043 JOH 007 015 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 043 JOH 007 016 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 043 JOH 007 017 If any man will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself. 043 JOH 007 018 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 043 JOH 007 019 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 043 JOH 007 020 The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth about to kill thee? 043 JOH 007 021 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 043 JOH 007 022 Moses therefore gave to you circumcision; ( not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man. 043 JOH 007 023 If a man on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath? 043 JOH 007 024 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 043 JOH 007 025 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 043 JOH 007 026 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? 043 JOH 007 027 But we know this man where he is from: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth where he is from. 043 JOH 007 028 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know where I am from: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 043 JOH 007 029 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. 043 JOH 007 030 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 043 JOH 007 031 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? 043 JOH 007 032 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 043 JOH 007 033 Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him that sent me. 043 JOH 007 034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there ye cannot come. 043 JOH 007 035 Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 043 JOH 007 036 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there ye cannot come? 043 JOH 007 037 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, let him come to me, and drink. 043 JOH 007 038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. 043 JOH 007 039 ( But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.) 043 JOH 007 040 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet. 043 JOH 007 041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 043 JOH 007 042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 043 JOH 007 043 So there was a division among the people because of him. 043 JOH 007 044 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 043 JOH 007 045 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him? 043 JOH 007 046 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man. 043 JOH 007 047 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived? 043 JOH 007 048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 043 JOH 007 049 But this people who know not the law are cursed. 043 JOH 007 050 Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, ) 043 JOH 007 051 Doth our law judge any man, before it heareth him, and knoweth what he doeth? 043 JOH 007 052 They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 043 JOH 007 053 And every man went to his own house. 043 JOH 008 001 Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 043 JOH 008 002 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them. 043 JOH 008 003 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 043 JOH 008 004 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 043 JOH 008 005 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 043 JOH 008 006 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 043 JOH 008 007 So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 043 JOH 008 008 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 043 JOH 008 009 And they who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 043 JOH 008 010 When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 043 JOH 008 011 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 043 JOH 008 012 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 043 JOH 008 013 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou barest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true. 043 JOH 008 014 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I witness concerning myself, yet my witness is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but ye cannot tell from where I come, and where I go. 043 JOH 008 015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 043 JOH 008 016 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 043 JOH 008 017 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 043 JOH 008 018 I am one that bear witness concerning myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness concerning me. 043 JOH 008 019 Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 043 JOH 008 020 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. 043 JOH 008 021 Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, ye cannot come. 043 JOH 008 022 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Where I go, ye cannot come. 043 JOH 008 023 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 043 JOH 008 024 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 043 JOH 008 025 Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning. 043 JOH 008 026 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him. 043 JOH 008 027 They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father. 043 JOH 008 028 Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 043 JOH 008 029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 043 JOH 008 030 As he spoke these words, many believed on him. 043 JOH 008 031 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed; 043 JOH 008 032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 043 JOH 008 033 They answered him, We are Abraham’s offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 043 JOH 008 034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 043 JOH 008 035 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 008 036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 043 JOH 008 037 I know that ye are Abraham’s offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 043 JOH 008 038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 043 JOH 008 039 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 043 JOH 008 040 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham. 043 JOH 008 041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 043 JOH 008 042 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 043 JOH 008 043 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 043 JOH 008 044 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 043 JOH 008 045 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 043 JOH 008 046 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me? 043 JOH 008 047 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 043 JOH 008 048 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? 043 JOH 008 049 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me. 043 JOH 008 050 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 043 JOH 008 051 Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 008 052 Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 008 053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 043 JOH 008 054 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 043 JOH 008 055 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 043 JOH 008 056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 043 JOH 008 057 Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 043 JOH 008 058 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am. 043 JOH 008 059 Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. 043 JOH 009 001 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. 043 JOH 009 002 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 043 JOH 009 003 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 043 JOH 009 004 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 043 JOH 009 005 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 043 JOH 009 006 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 043 JOH 009 007 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, ( which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 043 JOH 009 008 The neighbours therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 043 JOH 009 009 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 043 JOH 009 010 Therefore they said to him, How were thy eyes opened? 043 JOH 009 011 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 043 JOH 009 012 Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not. 043 JOH 009 013 They brought to the Pharisees him that before was blind. 043 JOH 009 014 And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 043 JOH 009 015 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see. 043 JOH 009 016 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 043 JOH 009 017 They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 043 JOH 009 018 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. 043 JOH 009 019 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 043 JOH 009 020 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 043 JOH 009 021 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 043 JOH 009 022 These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 043 JOH 009 023 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 043 JOH 009 024 Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 043 JOH 009 025 He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, though I was blind, now I see. 043 JOH 009 026 Then they said to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thy eyes? 043 JOH 009 027 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? 043 JOH 009 028 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 043 JOH 009 029 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this man, we know not where he is from. 043 JOH 009 030 The man answered and said to them, Why here is a marvellous thing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he hath opened my eyes. 043 JOH 009 031 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 043 JOH 009 032 Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 009 033 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. 043 JOH 009 034 They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 043 JOH 009 035 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 043 JOH 009 036 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 043 JOH 009 037 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 043 JOH 009 038 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 043 JOH 009 039 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and that they who see may be made blind. 043 JOH 009 040 And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also? 043 JOH 009 041 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. 043 JOH 010 001 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 043 JOH 010 002 But he that entereth by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 043 JOH 010 003 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 043 JOH 010 004 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 043 JOH 010 005 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 043 JOH 010 006 This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them. 043 JOH 010 007 Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 043 JOH 010 008 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 043 JOH 010 009 I am the door: by me if any man shall enter, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 043 JOH 010 010 The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 043 JOH 010 011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 043 JOH 010 012 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 043 JOH 010 013 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 043 JOH 010 014 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known by mine. 043 JOH 010 015 As the Father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 043 JOH 010 016 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 043 JOH 010 017 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 043 JOH 010 018 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from my Father. 043 JOH 010 019 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 043 JOH 010 020 And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him? 043 JOH 010 021 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? 043 JOH 010 022 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 043 JOH 010 023 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 043 JOH 010 024 Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. 043 JOH 010 025 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness concerning me. 043 JOH 010 026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. 043 JOH 010 027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 043 JOH 010 028 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 010 029 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 043 JOH 010 030 I and my Father are one. 043 JOH 010 031 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 043 JOH 010 032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 043 JOH 010 033 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 043 JOH 010 034 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 043 JOH 010 035 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 043 JOH 010 036 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 043 JOH 010 037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 043 JOH 010 038 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 043 JOH 010 039 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped from their hand, 043 JOH 010 040 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 043 JOH 010 041 And many resorted to him, and said, John performed no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true. 043 JOH 010 042 And many believed on him there. 043 JOH 011 001 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 043 JOH 011 002 (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 043 JOH 011 003 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 043 JOH 011 004 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it. 043 JOH 011 005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 043 JOH 011 006 When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 043 JOH 011 007 Then after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 043 JOH 011 008 His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou there again? 043 JOH 011 009 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 043 JOH 011 010 But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 043 JOH 011 011 These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 043 JOH 011 012 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth, he shall do well. 043 JOH 011 013 Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep. 043 JOH 011 014 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 043 JOH 011 015 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go to him. 043 JOH 011 016 Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 043 JOH 011 017 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 043 JOH 011 018 Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 043 JOH 011 019 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 043 JOH 011 020 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house. 043 JOH 011 021 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 043 JOH 011 022 But I know, that even now, whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 043 JOH 011 023 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. 043 JOH 011 024 Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 043 JOH 011 025 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 043 JOH 011 026 And whoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 011 027 She saith to him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world. 043 JOH 011 028 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 043 JOH 011 029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him. 043 JOH 011 030 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 043 JOH 011 031 The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep there. 043 JOH 011 032 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 043 JOH 011 033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 043 JOH 011 034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. 043 JOH 011 035 Jesus wept. 043 JOH 011 036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 043 JOH 011 037 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? 043 JOH 011 038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 043 JOH 011 039 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body smelleth: for he hath been dead four days. 043 JOH 011 040 Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 043 JOH 011 041 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 043 JOH 011 042 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 043 JOH 011 043 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 043 JOH 011 044 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go. 043 JOH 011 045 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 043 JOH 011 046 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 043 JOH 011 047 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles. 043 JOH 011 048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 043 JOH 011 049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all, 043 JOH 011 050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 043 JOH 011 051 And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 043 JOH 011 052 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 043 JOH 011 053 Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death. 043 JOH 011 054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went from there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. 043 JOH 011 055 And the Jews’ passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. 043 JOH 011 056 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? 043 JOH 011 057 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him. 043 JOH 012 001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 043 JOH 012 002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 043 JOH 012 003 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 043 JOH 012 004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who was to betray him, 043 JOH 012 005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 043 JOH 012 006 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it. 043 JOH 012 007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: for the day of my burial hath she kept this. 043 JOH 012 008 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. 043 JOH 012 009 Many people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. 043 JOH 012 010 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 043 JOH 012 011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. 043 JOH 012 012 On the next day many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 043 JOH 012 013 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 043 JOH 012 014 And Jesus, when he had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written, 043 JOH 012 015 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on a donkey’s colt. 043 JOH 012 016 These things his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him. 043 JOH 012 017 The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 043 JOH 012 018 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 043 JOH 012 019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. 043 JOH 012 020 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 043 JOH 012 021 The same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 043 JOH 012 022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 043 JOH 012 023 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 043 JOH 012 024 Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 043 JOH 012 025 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 012 026 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 043 JOH 012 027 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour. 043 JOH 012 028 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 043 JOH 012 029 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him. 043 JOH 012 030 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 043 JOH 012 031 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 043 JOH 012 032 And I, if I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me. 043 JOH 012 033 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 043 JOH 012 034 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 012 035 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not where he goeth. 043 JOH 012 036 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and was hidden from them. 043 JOH 012 037 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 043 JOH 012 038 That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 043 JOH 012 039 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, 043 JOH 012 040 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 043 JOH 012 041 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. 043 JOH 012 042 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 043 JOH 012 043 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 043 JOH 012 044 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 043 JOH 012 045 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 043 JOH 012 046 I am come a light into the world, that whoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 043 JOH 012 047 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 043 JOH 012 048 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 043 JOH 012 049 For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 043 JOH 012 050 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 013 001 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 043 JOH 013 002 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; 043 JOH 013 003 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God; 043 JOH 013 004 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 043 JOH 013 005 After that he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 043 JOH 013 006 Then he cometh to Simon Peter: and Peter saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 043 JOH 013 007 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know after this. 043 JOH 013 008 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 013 009 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 043 JOH 013 010 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not except to wash his feet, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not all. 043 JOH 013 011 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 043 JOH 013 012 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was seated again, he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you? 043 JOH 013 013 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 043 JOH 013 014 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 043 JOH 013 015 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 043 JOH 013 016 Verily, verily, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 043 JOH 013 017 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 043 JOH 013 018 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 043 JOH 013 019 Now I tell you before it cometh, that, when it hath come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 043 JOH 013 020 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that receiveth whomever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 043 JOH 013 021 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me. 043 JOH 013 022 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. 043 JOH 013 023 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 043 JOH 013 024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, to ask who it should be of whom he spoke. 043 JOH 013 025 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith to him, Lord, who is it? 043 JOH 013 026 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 043 JOH 013 027 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus to him, What thou doest, do quickly. 043 JOH 013 028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this to him. 043 JOH 013 029 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 043 JOH 013 030 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. 043 JOH 013 031 Therefore, when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 043 JOH 013 032 If God is glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall immediately glorify him. 043 JOH 013 033 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 043 JOH 013 034 A new commandment I give to you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 043 JOH 013 035 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 043 JOH 013 036 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 043 JOH 013 037 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. 043 JOH 013 038 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me three times. 043 JOH 014 001 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 043 JOH 014 002 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 043 JOH 014 003 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 043 JOH 014 004 And where I go ye know, and the way ye know. 043 JOH 014 005 Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest; and how can we know the way? 043 JOH 014 006 Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me. 043 JOH 014 007 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 043 JOH 014 008 Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 043 JOH 014 009 Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? 043 JOH 014 010 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you I speak not from myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 043 JOH 014 011 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. 043 JOH 014 012 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father. 043 JOH 014 013 And whatever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 043 JOH 014 014 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 043 JOH 014 015 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 043 JOH 014 016 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 014 017 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 043 JOH 014 018 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 043 JOH 014 019 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 043 JOH 014 020 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 043 JOH 014 021 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him. 043 JOH 014 022 Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt reveal thyself to us, and not to the world? 043 JOH 014 023 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loveth me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. 043 JOH 014 024 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me. 043 JOH 014 025 These things have I spoken to you, being yet present with you. 043 JOH 014 026 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. 043 JOH 014 027 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 043 JOH 014 028 Ye have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 043 JOH 014 029 And now I have told you before it cometh to pass, that, when it hath come to pass, ye may believe. 043 JOH 014 030 After this I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 043 JOH 014 031 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here. 043 JOH 015 001 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 043 JOH 015 002 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he trimmeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 043 JOH 015 003 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to you. 043 JOH 015 004 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 043 JOH 015 005 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 043 JOH 015 006 If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 043 JOH 015 007 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you. 043 JOH 015 008 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 043 JOH 015 009 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 043 JOH 015 010 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 043 JOH 015 011 These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 043 JOH 015 012 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 043 JOH 015 013 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 043 JOH 015 014 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. 043 JOH 015 015 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 043 JOH 015 016 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 043 JOH 015 017 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 043 JOH 015 018 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 043 JOH 015 019 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 043 JOH 015 020 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 043 JOH 015 021 But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. 043 JOH 015 022 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 043 JOH 015 023 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 043 JOH 015 024 If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 043 JOH 015 025 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 043 JOH 015 026 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify concerning me: 043 JOH 015 027 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. 043 JOH 016 001 These things have I spoken to you, that ye should not be offended. 043 JOH 016 002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 043 JOH 016 003 And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 043 JOH 016 004 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you. 043 JOH 016 005 But now I go to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Where goest thou? 043 JOH 016 006 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 043 JOH 016 007 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. 043 JOH 016 008 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 043 JOH 016 009 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 043 JOH 016 010 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 043 JOH 016 011 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 043 JOH 016 012 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. 043 JOH 016 013 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 043 JOH 016 014 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you. 043 JOH 016 015 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and show it to you. 043 JOH 016 016 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 043 JOH 016 017 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 043 JOH 016 018 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. 043 JOH 016 019 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that which I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 043 JOH 016 020 Verily, verily, I say to you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 043 JOH 016 021 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 043 JOH 016 022 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 043 JOH 016 023 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 043 JOH 016 024 Until now ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 043 JOH 016 025 These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father. 043 JOH 016 026 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you: 043 JOH 016 027 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God. 043 JOH 016 028 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 043 JOH 016 029 His disciples said to him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 043 JOH 016 030 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest from God. 043 JOH 016 031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 043 JOH 016 032 Behold, the hour cometh, and, is even now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 043 JOH 016 033 These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 043 JOH 017 001 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 043 JOH 017 002 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 017 003 And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 017 004 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 043 JOH 017 005 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 043 JOH 017 006 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. 043 JOH 017 007 Now they have known that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee. 043 JOH 017 008 For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 043 JOH 017 009 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine. 043 JOH 017 010 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 043 JOH 017 011 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are. 043 JOH 017 012 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 043 JOH 017 013 And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 043 JOH 017 014 I have given to them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 043 JOH 017 015 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 043 JOH 017 016 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 043 JOH 017 017 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 043 JOH 017 018 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 043 JOH 017 019 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth. 043 JOH 017 020 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word; 043 JOH 017 021 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 043 JOH 017 022 And the glory which thou gavest to me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 043 JOH 017 023 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 043 JOH 017 024 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given to me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given to me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. 043 JOH 017 025 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 043 JOH 017 026 And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it: that the love which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. 043 JOH 018 001 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples. 043 JOH 018 002 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted there with his disciples. 043 JOH 018 003 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 043 JOH 018 004 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek ye? 043 JOH 018 005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. 043 JOH 018 006 As soon then as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 043 JOH 018 007 Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 043 JOH 018 008 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 043 JOH 018 009 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them whom thou gavest to me, I have lost none. 043 JOH 018 010 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 043 JOH 018 011 Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 043 JOH 018 012 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, 043 JOH 018 013 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year. 043 JOH 018 014 Now Caiaphas was he, who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 043 JOH 018 015 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. 043 JOH 018 016 But Peter stood at the door outside. Then went out that other disciple, who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 043 JOH 018 017 Then saith the maid that kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not. 043 JOH 018 018 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. 043 JOH 018 019 The high priest then asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine. 043 JOH 018 020 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. 043 JOH 018 021 Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I have said. 043 JOH 018 022 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 043 JOH 018 023 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? 043 JOH 018 024 Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. 043 JOH 018 025 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. 043 JOH 018 026 One of the servants of the high priest, being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? 043 JOH 018 027 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crowed. 043 JOH 018 028 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. 043 JOH 018 029 Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? 043 JOH 018 030 They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee. 043 JOH 018 031 Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 043 JOH 018 032 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die. 043 JOH 018 033 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 043 JOH 018 034 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? 043 JOH 018 035 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? 043 JOH 018 036 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from here. 043 JOH 018 037 Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 043 JOH 018 038 Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find in him no fault. 043 JOH 018 039 But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews? 043 JOH 018 040 Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. 043 JOH 019 001 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 043 JOH 019 002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 043 JOH 019 003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 043 JOH 019 004 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 043 JOH 019 005 Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith to them, Behold the man! 043 JOH 019 006 When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. 043 JOH 019 007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 043 JOH 019 008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 043 JOH 019 009 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith to Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer. 043 JOH 019 010 Then saith Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 043 JOH 019 011 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me to thee hath the greater sin. 043 JOH 019 012 And from then on Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: Whoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 043 JOH 019 013 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 043 JOH 019 014 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King! 043 JOH 019 015 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 043 JOH 019 016 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 043 JOH 019 017 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 043 JOH 019 018 Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 043 JOH 019 019 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 043 JOH 019 020 Many of the Jews then read this title: for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 043 JOH 019 021 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 043 JOH 019 022 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 043 JOH 019 023 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 043 JOH 019 024 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. 043 JOH 019 025 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 043 JOH 019 026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 043 JOH 019 027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 043 JOH 019 028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 043 JOH 019 029 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 043 JOH 019 030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. 043 JOH 019 031 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, ( for that sabbath was a great day, ) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 043 JOH 019 032 Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him. 043 JOH 019 033 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs: 043 JOH 019 034 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately came out blood and water. 043 JOH 019 035 And he that saw it bore witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he speaketh truth, that ye may believe. 043 JOH 019 036 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 043 JOH 019 037 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 043 JOH 019 038 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 043 JOH 019 039 And there came also Nicodemus, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 043 JOH 019 040 Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 043 JOH 019 041 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which was never man yet laid. 043 JOH 019 042 There they laid Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was near at hand. 043 JOH 020 001 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 043 JOH 020 002 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 043 JOH 020 003 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 043 JOH 020 004 So they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 043 JOH 020 005 And he stooping down, saw the linen cloths lying; yet he went not in. 043 JOH 020 006 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen cloths lying there, 043 JOH 020 007 And the cloth, that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 043 JOH 020 008 Then went in also that other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 043 JOH 020 009 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 043 JOH 020 010 Then the disciples went away again to their own home. 043 JOH 020 011 But Mary stood outside of the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, to look into the sepulchre, 043 JOH 020 012 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 043 JOH 020 013 And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 043 JOH 020 014 And when she had thus said, she turned herself around, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 043 JOH 020 015 Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 043 JOH 020 016 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith to him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 043 JOH 020 017 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 043 JOH 020 018 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her. 043 JOH 020 019 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace be to you. 043 JOH 020 020 And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 043 JOH 020 021 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be to you: as my Father hath sent me, even so I send you. 043 JOH 020 022 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit: 043 JOH 020 023 Whose sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; and whose sins ye retain, they are retained. 043 JOH 020 024 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 043 JOH 020 025 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 043 JOH 020 026 And after eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you. 043 JOH 020 027 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach here thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach here thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 043 JOH 020 028 And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. 043 JOH 020 029 Jesus saith to him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 043 JOH 020 030 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 043 JOH 020 031 But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life through his name. 043 JOH 021 001 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and in this manner did he show himself. 043 JOH 021 002 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. 043 JOH 021 003 Simon Peter saith to them, I am going fishing. They say to him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a boat immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 043 JOH 021 004 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 043 JOH 021 005 Then Jesus saith to them, Children, have ye any fish? They answered him, No. 043 JOH 021 006 And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 043 JOH 021 007 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt on his fishermen’s coat, ( for he was naked, ) and cast himself into the sea. 043 JOH 021 008 And the other disciples came in a little boat; ( for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits, ) dragging the net with fishes. 043 JOH 021 009 As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on them, and bread. 043 JOH 021 010 Jesus saith to them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 043 JOH 021 011 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and although there were so many, yet the net was not broken. 043 JOH 021 012 Jesus saith to them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples dared ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 043 JOH 021 013 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. 043 JOH 021 014 This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead. 043 JOH 021 015 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. 043 JOH 021 016 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep. 043 JOH 021 017 He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep. 043 JOH 021 018 Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee where thou wouldest not. 043 JOH 021 019 This he spoke, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith to him, Follow me. 043 JOH 021 020 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? 043 JOH 021 021 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 043 JOH 021 022 Jesus saith to him, If I will that he shall tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 043 JOH 021 023 Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not to him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he shall tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 043 JOH 021 024 This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 043 JOH 021 025 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. # # BOOK 044 ACT Acts Acts 044 ACT 001 001 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 044 ACT 001 002 Until the day when he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen: 044 ACT 001 003 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 044 ACT 001 004 And, being assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me. 044 ACT 001 005 For John truly baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now. 044 ACT 001 006 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 044 ACT 001 007 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 044 ACT 001 008 But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth. 044 ACT 001 009 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 044 ACT 001 010 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 044 ACT 001 011 Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus, who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 044 ACT 001 012 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey. 044 ACT 001 013 And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 044 ACT 001 014 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 044 ACT 001 015 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty, ) 044 ACT 001 016 Men, brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. 044 ACT 001 017 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. 044 ACT 001 018 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 044 ACT 001 019 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; therefore that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. 044 ACT 001 020 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and his office let another take. 044 ACT 001 021 Therefore of these men who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 044 ACT 001 022 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. 044 ACT 001 023 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 044 ACT 001 024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen, 044 ACT 001 025 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 044 ACT 001 026 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. 044 ACT 002 001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 044 ACT 002 002 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 044 ACT 002 003 And there appeared to them cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 044 ACT 002 004 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 044 ACT 002 005 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 044 ACT 002 006 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every man heard them speak in his own language. 044 ACT 002 007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans? 044 ACT 002 008 And how do we hear every man in our own language, in which we were born? 044 ACT 002 009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 044 ACT 002 010 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 044 ACT 002 011 Cretes and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 044 ACT 002 012 And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 044 ACT 002 013 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 044 ACT 002 014 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words: 044 ACT 002 015 For these are not drunk, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 044 ACT 002 016 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 044 ACT 002 017 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 044 ACT 002 018 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will, in those, days pour out of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 044 ACT 002 019 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 044 ACT 002 020 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 044 ACT 002 021 And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 044 ACT 002 022 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 044 ACT 002 023 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 044 ACT 002 024 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held by it. 044 ACT 002 025 For David speaketh concerning him, I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 044 ACT 002 026 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 044 ACT 002 027 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86) 044 ACT 002 028 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 044 ACT 002 029 Men, brethren, let me freely speak to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day. 044 ACT 002 030 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 044 ACT 002 031 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86) 044 ACT 002 032 This Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. 044 ACT 002 033 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 044 ACT 002 034 For David did not ascend into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 044 ACT 002 035 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 044 ACT 002 036 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 044 ACT 002 037 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men, brethren, what shall we do? 044 ACT 002 038 Then Peter said to them, Repent ye, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 002 039 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 044 ACT 002 040 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation. 044 ACT 002 041 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls. 044 ACT 002 042 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 044 ACT 002 043 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 044 ACT 002 044 And all that believed were together, and had all things in common; 044 ACT 002 045 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 044 ACT 002 046 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 044 ACT 002 047 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. 044 ACT 003 001 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 044 ACT 003 002 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 044 ACT 003 003 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked alms. 044 ACT 003 004 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 044 ACT 003 005 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. 044 ACT 003 006 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 044 ACT 003 007 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 044 ACT 003 008 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 044 ACT 003 009 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 044 ACT 003 010 And they knew that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. 044 ACT 003 011 And as the lame man who was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. 044 ACT 003 012 And when Peter saw it, he answered to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 044 ACT 003 013 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 044 ACT 003 014 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you; 044 ACT 003 015 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; to which we are witnesses. 044 ACT 003 016 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 044 ACT 003 017 And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 044 ACT 003 018 But those things, which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 044 ACT 003 019 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 044 ACT 003 020 And he shall send Jesus Christ, who before was preached to you: 044 ACT 003 021 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. (aiōn g165) 044 ACT 003 022 For Moses truly said to the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear in all things whatever he shall say to you. 044 ACT 003 023 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, who will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. 044 ACT 003 024 Yea, and all the prophets also from Samuel and those that follow, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold these days. 044 ACT 003 025 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. 044 ACT 003 026 To you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away each one of you from his iniquities. 044 ACT 004 001 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 044 ACT 004 002 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 044 ACT 004 003 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody to the next day: for it was now evening. 044 ACT 004 004 But many of them who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. 044 ACT 004 005 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 044 ACT 004 006 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 044 ACT 004 007 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? 044 ACT 004 008 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 044 ACT 004 009 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made well; 044 ACT 004 010 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you in good health. 044 ACT 004 011 This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 044 ACT 004 012 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved. 044 ACT 004 013 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 044 ACT 004 014 And beholding the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 044 ACT 004 015 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 044 ACT 004 016 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is apparent to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 044 ACT 004 017 But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 044 ACT 004 018 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 044 ACT 004 019 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye. 044 ACT 004 020 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. 044 ACT 004 021 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done. 044 ACT 004 022 For the man was over forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was performed. 044 ACT 004 023 And being released, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 044 ACT 004 024 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that is in them: 044 ACT 004 025 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 044 ACT 004 026 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 044 ACT 004 027 For in truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 044 ACT 004 028 To do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 044 ACT 004 029 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 044 ACT 004 030 By stretching forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 044 ACT 004 031 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. 044 ACT 004 032 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things in common. 044 ACT 004 033 And with great power the apostles gave witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 044 ACT 004 034 Neither was there any among them that was needy: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 044 ACT 004 035 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had need. 044 ACT 004 036 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, ( which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 044 ACT 004 037 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 044 ACT 005 001 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 044 ACT 005 002 And kept back part of the price, his wife also knowing of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 044 ACT 005 003 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 044 ACT 005 004 While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God. 044 ACT 005 005 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and died: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 044 ACT 005 006 And the young men arose, wrapped him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 044 ACT 005 007 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 044 ACT 005 008 And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 044 ACT 005 009 Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 044 ACT 005 010 Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and died: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 044 ACT 005 011 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 044 ACT 005 012 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; ( and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch. 044 ACT 005 013 And of the rest dared no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. 044 ACT 005 014 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 044 ACT 005 015 So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. 044 ACT 005 016 There came also a multitude out of the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and them who were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. 044 ACT 005 017 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, ( which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation, 044 ACT 005 018 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. 044 ACT 005 019 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 044 ACT 005 020 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. 044 ACT 005 021 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 044 ACT 005 022 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told, 044 ACT 005 023 Saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing outside before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. 044 ACT 005 024 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this. 044 ACT 005 025 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 044 ACT 005 026 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. 044 ACT 005 027 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, 044 ACT 005 028 Saying, Did we not strictly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. 044 ACT 005 029 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 044 ACT 005 030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 044 ACT 005 031 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 044 ACT 005 032 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 044 ACT 005 033 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. 044 ACT 005 034 Then stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little time; 044 ACT 005 035 And said to them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men. 044 ACT 005 036 For before these days rose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 044 ACT 005 037 After this man rose Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 044 ACT 005 038 And now I say to you, Stay away from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is from men, it will come to nothing: 044 ACT 005 039 But if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest perhaps ye be found even to fight against God. 044 ACT 005 040 And to him they assented: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 044 ACT 005 041 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. 044 ACT 005 042 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. 044 ACT 006 001 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 044 ACT 006 002 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples, and said, It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 044 ACT 006 003 Therefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 044 ACT 006 004 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 044 ACT 006 005 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 044 ACT 006 006 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 044 ACT 006 007 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 044 ACT 006 008 And Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and miracles among the people. 044 ACT 006 009 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 044 ACT 006 010 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. 044 ACT 006 011 Then they secretly induced men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 044 ACT 006 012 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, 044 ACT 006 013 And set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 044 ACT 006 014 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us. 044 ACT 006 015 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. 044 ACT 007 001 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 044 ACT 007 002 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, 044 ACT 007 003 And said to him, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee. 044 ACT 007 004 Then he came from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from there, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which ye now dwell. 044 ACT 007 005 And he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when as yet he had no child. 044 ACT 007 006 And God spoke in this way, That his offspring should sojourn in a foreign land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and oppress them four hundred years. 044 ACT 007 007 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that they shall come forth, and serve me in this place. 044 ACT 007 008 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. 044 ACT 007 009 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 044 ACT 007 010 And delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 044 ACT 007 011 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 044 ACT 007 012 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 044 ACT 007 013 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known to Pharaoh. 044 ACT 007 014 Then Joseph sent, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy and five souls. 044 ACT 007 015 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, 044 ACT 007 016 And were carried over into Shechem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Shechem. 044 ACT 007 017 But when the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 044 ACT 007 018 Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph. 044 ACT 007 019 The same dealt treacherously with our kindred, and oppressed our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. 044 ACT 007 020 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father’s house three months: 044 ACT 007 021 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. 044 ACT 007 022 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 044 ACT 007 023 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 044 ACT 007 024 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: 044 ACT 007 025 For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. 044 ACT 007 026 And the next day he showed himself to them as they were fighting, and would have constrained them to be at peace again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? 044 ACT 007 027 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 044 ACT 007 028 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday? 044 ACT 007 029 Then Moses fled at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons. 044 ACT 007 030 And when forty years had passed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. 044 ACT 007 031 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came to him, 044 ACT 007 032 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and dared not behold. 044 ACT 007 033 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. 044 ACT 007 034 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 044 ACT 007 035 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 044 ACT 007 036 He brought them out, after he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 044 ACT 007 037 This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear. 044 ACT 007 038 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to us: 044 ACT 007 039 Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 044 ACT 007 040 Saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 044 ACT 007 041 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 044 ACT 007 042 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness? 044 ACT 007 043 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Molech, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. 044 ACT 007 044 Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. 044 ACT 007 045 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Joshua into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David; 044 ACT 007 046 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 044 ACT 007 047 But Solomon built for him an house. 044 ACT 007 048 Yet the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 044 ACT 007 049 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build for me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 044 ACT 007 050 Hath not my hand made all these things? 044 ACT 007 051 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye. 044 ACT 007 052 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them who showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 044 ACT 007 053 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 044 ACT 007 054 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 044 ACT 007 055 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 044 ACT 007 056 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 044 ACT 007 057 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 044 ACT 007 058 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. 044 ACT 007 059 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 044 ACT 007 060 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 044 ACT 008 001 And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 044 ACT 008 002 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 044 ACT 008 003 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and dragging off men and women committed them to prison. 044 ACT 008 004 Therefore they that were scattered went every where preaching the word. 044 ACT 008 005 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them. 044 ACT 008 006 And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing. 044 ACT 008 007 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed and many sick with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 044 ACT 008 008 And there was great joy in that city. 044 ACT 008 009 But there was a certain man, called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great person: 044 ACT 008 010 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 044 ACT 008 011 And to him they had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 044 ACT 008 012 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 044 ACT 008 013 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and was amazed, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 044 ACT 008 014 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John: 044 ACT 008 015 Who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: 044 ACT 008 016 ( For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 044 ACT 008 017 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 008 018 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 044 ACT 008 019 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 008 020 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 044 ACT 008 021 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 044 ACT 008 022 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. 044 ACT 008 023 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 044 ACT 008 024 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 044 ACT 008 025 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. 044 ACT 008 026 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. 044 ACT 008 027 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 044 ACT 008 028 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet. 044 ACT 008 029 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 044 ACT 008 030 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 044 ACT 008 031 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he besought Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 044 ACT 008 032 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth: 044 ACT 008 033 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 044 ACT 008 034 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 044 ACT 008 035 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus. 044 ACT 008 036 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 044 ACT 008 037 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 044 ACT 008 038 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 044 ACT 008 039 And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 044 ACT 008 040 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. 044 ACT 009 001 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 044 ACT 009 002 And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 009 003 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shone around him a light from heaven: 044 ACT 009 004 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 044 ACT 009 005 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the goads. 044 ACT 009 006 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 044 ACT 009 007 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 044 ACT 009 008 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 044 ACT 009 009 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 044 ACT 009 010 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 044 ACT 009 011 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 044 ACT 009 012 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 044 ACT 009 013 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 044 ACT 009 014 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 044 ACT 009 015 But the Lord said to him, Go: for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 044 ACT 009 016 For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. 044 ACT 009 017 And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 009 018 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight immediately, and arose, and was baptized. 044 ACT 009 019 And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus. 044 ACT 009 020 And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 044 ACT 009 021 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came here for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests? 044 ACT 009 022 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 044 ACT 009 023 And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 044 ACT 009 024 But their laying in wait was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 044 ACT 009 025 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 044 ACT 009 026 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 044 ACT 009 027 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 044 ACT 009 028 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 044 ACT 009 029 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 044 ACT 009 030 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 044 ACT 009 031 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied. 044 ACT 009 032 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda. 044 ACT 009 033 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy. 044 ACT 009 034 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. 044 ACT 009 035 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord. 044 ACT 009 036 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. 044 ACT 009 037 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber. 044 ACT 009 038 And as Lydda was near to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. 044 ACT 009 039 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 044 ACT 009 040 But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 044 ACT 009 041 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. 044 ACT 009 042 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. 044 ACT 009 043 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner. 044 ACT 010 001 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 044 ACT 010 002 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. 044 ACT 010 003 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius. 044 ACT 010 004 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God. 044 ACT 010 005 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 044 ACT 010 006 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 044 ACT 010 007 And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 044 ACT 010 008 And when he had declared all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa. 044 ACT 010 009 On the next day, as they were going on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 044 ACT 010 010 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 044 ACT 010 011 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 044 ACT 010 012 In which were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 044 ACT 010 013 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 044 ACT 010 014 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 044 ACT 010 015 And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 044 ACT 010 016 This was done three times: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 044 ACT 010 017 Now while Peter greatly perplexed in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate, 044 ACT 010 018 And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there. 044 ACT 010 019 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee. 044 ACT 010 020 Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 044 ACT 010 021 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye have come? 044 ACT 010 022 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee. 044 ACT 010 023 Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the next day Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 044 ACT 010 024 And on the next day they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. 044 ACT 010 025 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 044 ACT 010 026 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. 044 ACT 010 027 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together. 044 ACT 010 028 And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 044 ACT 010 029 Therefore I came to you willingly, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? 044 ACT 010 030 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 044 ACT 010 031 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 044 ACT 010 032 Send therefore to Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak to thee. 044 ACT 010 033 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God. 044 ACT 010 034 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 044 ACT 010 035 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 044 ACT 010 036 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: ( he is Lord of all: ) 044 ACT 010 037 That word, I say, ye know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 044 ACT 010 038 That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him. 044 ACT 010 039 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 044 ACT 010 040 Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly; 044 ACT 010 041 Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 044 ACT 010 042 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead. 044 ACT 010 043 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 044 ACT 010 044 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word. 044 ACT 010 045 And they of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 010 046 For they heard them speak in tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 044 ACT 010 047 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 044 ACT 010 048 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days. 044 ACT 011 001 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 044 ACT 011 002 And when Peter had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 044 ACT 011 003 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. 044 ACT 011 004 But Peter went over the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order to them, saying, 044 ACT 011 005 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me: 044 ACT 011 006 Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 044 ACT 011 007 And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat. 044 ACT 011 008 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 044 ACT 011 009 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 044 ACT 011 010 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven. 044 ACT 011 011 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Caesarea to me. 044 ACT 011 012 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house: 044 ACT 011 013 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 044 ACT 011 014 Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved. 044 ACT 011 015 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 044 ACT 011 016 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 011 017 Forasmuch then as God gave them the same gift as he did to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? 044 ACT 011 018 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life. 044 ACT 011 019 Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only. 044 ACT 011 020 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 044 ACT 011 021 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord. 044 ACT 011 022 Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 044 ACT 011 023 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continue with the Lord. 044 ACT 011 024 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord. 044 ACT 011 025 Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul: 044 ACT 011 026 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. 044 ACT 011 027 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch. 044 ACT 011 028 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. 044 ACT 011 029 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea: 044 ACT 011 030 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. 044 ACT 012 001 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to afflict certain of the church. 044 ACT 012 002 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 044 ACT 012 003 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. ( Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 044 ACT 012 004 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people. 044 ACT 012 005 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him. 044 ACT 012 006 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. 044 ACT 012 007 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shone in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 044 ACT 012 008 And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 044 ACT 012 009 And he went out, and followed him; and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. 044 ACT 012 010 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel departed from him. 044 ACT 012 011 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 044 ACT 012 012 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. 044 ACT 012 013 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda. 044 ACT 012 014 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate. 044 ACT 012 015 And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel. 044 ACT 012 016 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. 044 ACT 012 017 But he, beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place. 044 ACT 012 018 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. 044 ACT 012 019 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode. 044 ACT 012 020 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 044 ACT 012 021 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them. 044 ACT 012 022 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 044 ACT 012 023 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died. 044 ACT 012 024 But the word of God grew and multiplied. 044 ACT 012 025 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark. 044 ACT 013 001 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 044 ACT 013 002 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. 044 ACT 013 003 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 044 ACT 013 004 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 044 ACT 013 005 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their helper. 044 ACT 013 006 And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 044 ACT 013 007 Who was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 044 ACT 013 008 But Elymas the sorcerer ( for so is his name by interpretation ) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 044 ACT 013 009 Then Saul, ( who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him, 044 ACT 013 010 And said, O full of all deceit and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 044 ACT 013 011 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 044 ACT 013 012 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 044 ACT 013 013 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 013 014 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. 044 ACT 013 015 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. 044 ACT 013 016 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, listen. 044 ACT 013 017 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm he brought them out of it. 044 ACT 013 018 And about the time of forty years he bore their manners in the wilderness. 044 ACT 013 019 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot. 044 ACT 013 020 And after these things, which took about four hundred and fifty years, he gave to them judges, until Samuel the prophet. 044 ACT 013 021 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. 044 ACT 013 022 And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfil all my will. 044 ACT 013 023 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: 044 ACT 013 024 After John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 044 ACT 013 025 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. 044 ACT 013 026 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 044 ACT 013 027 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. 044 ACT 013 028 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet they desired Pilate that he should be put to death. 044 ACT 013 029 And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 044 ACT 013 030 But God raised him from the dead: 044 ACT 013 031 And he was seen many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. 044 ACT 013 032 And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers, 044 ACT 013 033 God hath fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 044 ACT 013 034 And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said in this way, I will give you the sure mercies of David. 044 ACT 013 035 Therefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not allow thy Holy One to see corruption. 044 ACT 013 036 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption: 044 ACT 013 037 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 044 ACT 013 038 Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: 044 ACT 013 039 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 044 ACT 013 040 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken in the prophets; 044 ACT 013 041 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall by no means believe, though a man declare it to you. 044 ACT 013 042 And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 044 ACT 013 043 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 044 ACT 013 044 And the next sabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. 044 ACT 013 045 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. 044 ACT 013 046 Then Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166) 044 ACT 013 047 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the ends of the earth. 044 ACT 013 048 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166) 044 ACT 013 049 And the word of the Lord was proclaimed throughout all the region. 044 ACT 013 050 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their land. 044 ACT 013 051 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 044 ACT 013 052 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 014 001 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. 044 ACT 014 002 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 044 ACT 014 003 A long time therefore they abode speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 044 ACT 014 004 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 044 ACT 014 005 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, 044 ACT 014 006 Being aware of it, they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region: 044 ACT 014 007 And there they preached the gospel. 044 ACT 014 008 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked: 044 ACT 014 009 The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 044 ACT 014 010 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 044 ACT 014 011 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men. 044 ACT 014 012 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. 044 ACT 014 013 Then the priest of Jupiter, who was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 044 ACT 014 014 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they tore their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 044 ACT 014 015 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them: 044 ACT 014 016 Who in times past allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 044 ACT 014 017 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. 044 ACT 014 018 And with these sayings they scarce restrained the people, from doing sacrifice to them. 044 ACT 014 019 And there came there certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 044 ACT 014 020 But, as the disciples stood around him, he rose, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 044 ACT 014 021 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch, 044 ACT 014 022 Confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 044 ACT 014 023 And when they had ordained for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. 044 ACT 014 024 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 044 ACT 014 025 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: 044 ACT 014 026 And from there sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended from to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. 044 ACT 014 027 And when they had come, and had gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 044 ACT 014 028 And there they abode a long time with the disciples. 044 ACT 015 001 And certain men who came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 044 ACT 015 002 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question. 044 ACT 015 003 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy to all the brethren. 044 ACT 015 004 And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. 044 ACT 015 005 But there rose certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 044 ACT 015 006 And the apostles and elders came together to consider of this matter. 044 ACT 015 007 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose, and said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 044 ACT 015 008 And God, who knoweth the hearts, bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us; 044 ACT 015 009 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 044 ACT 015 010 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 044 ACT 015 011 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 044 ACT 015 012 Then all the multitude kept silence, and hearkened to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought by them among the Gentiles. 044 ACT 015 013 And after they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hearken to me: 044 ACT 015 014 Simeon hath declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name. 044 ACT 015 015 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 044 ACT 015 016 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again its ruins, and I will set it up: 044 ACT 015 017 That the rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 044 ACT 015 018 Known to God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165) 044 ACT 015 019 Therefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 044 ACT 015 020 But that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from immorality, and from things strangled, and from blood. 044 ACT 015 021 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath. 044 ACT 015 022 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 044 ACT 015 023 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 044 ACT 015 024 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 044 ACT 015 025 It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 044 ACT 015 026 Men that have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 044 ACT 015 027 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 044 ACT 015 028 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 044 ACT 015 029 That ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from immorality: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 044 ACT 015 030 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 044 ACT 015 031 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. 044 ACT 015 032 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. 044 ACT 015 033 And after they had tarried there a time, they were sent away in peace from the brethren to the apostles. 044 ACT 015 034 However it pleased Silas to abide there still. 044 ACT 015 035 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. 044 ACT 015 036 And some days after Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. 044 ACT 015 037 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. 044 ACT 015 038 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. 044 ACT 015 039 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus; 044 ACT 015 040 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God. 044 ACT 015 041 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. 044 ACT 016 001 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman, who was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 044 ACT 016 002 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. 044 ACT 016 003 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 044 ACT 016 004 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. 044 ACT 016 005 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. 044 ACT 016 006 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia, 044 ACT 016 007 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit allowed them not. 044 ACT 016 008 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 044 ACT 016 009 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, beseeching him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 044 ACT 016 010 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. 044 ACT 016 011 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; 044 ACT 016 012 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days. 044 ACT 016 013 And on the sabbath day we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was accustomed to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted there. 044 ACT 016 014 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul. 044 ACT 016 015 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. 044 ACT 016 016 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain maid possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 044 ACT 016 017 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who show to us the way of salvation. 044 ACT 016 018 And this she did many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. 044 ACT 016 019 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace to the rulers, 044 ACT 016 020 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 044 ACT 016 021 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. 044 ACT 016 022 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates tore off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 044 ACT 016 023 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 044 ACT 016 024 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 044 ACT 016 025 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them. 044 ACT 016 026 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 044 ACT 016 027 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled. 044 ACT 016 028 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 044 ACT 016 029 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 044 ACT 016 030 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 044 ACT 016 031 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 044 ACT 016 032 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 044 ACT 016 033 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay. 044 ACT 016 034 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. 044 ACT 016 035 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, Let those men go. 044 ACT 016 036 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. 044 ACT 016 037 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out. 044 ACT 016 038 And the officers told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. 044 ACT 016 039 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. 044 ACT 016 040 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed. 044 ACT 017 001 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 044 ACT 017 002 And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 044 ACT 017 003 Opening and alleging, that it was needful that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ. 044 ACT 017 004 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. 044 ACT 017 005 But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain wicked fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 044 ACT 017 006 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down have come here also; 044 ACT 017 007 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. 044 ACT 017 008 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 044 ACT 017 009 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the others, they let them go. 044 ACT 017 010 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming there went into the synagogue of the Jews. 044 ACT 017 011 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 044 ACT 017 012 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women who were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 044 ACT 017 013 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also, and stirred up the people. 044 ACT 017 014 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still. 044 ACT 017 015 And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed. 044 ACT 017 016 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 044 ACT 017 017 Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 044 ACT 017 018 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? some others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection. 044 ACT 017 019 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest? 044 ACT 017 020 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 044 ACT 017 021 ( For all the Athenians and strangers who were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) 044 ACT 017 022 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are very religious. 044 ACT 017 023 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I to you. 044 ACT 017 024 God that made the world and all things in it, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 044 ACT 017 025 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 044 ACT 017 026 And hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 044 ACT 017 027 That they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us: 044 ACT 017 028 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 044 ACT 017 029 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold, or silver, or stone, formed by art and man’s device. 044 ACT 017 030 And the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 044 ACT 017 031 Because he hath appointed a day, when he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; of which he hath given assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 044 ACT 017 032 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter. 044 ACT 017 033 So Paul departed from among them. 044 ACT 017 034 But certain men joined themselves to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. 044 ACT 018 001 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 044 ACT 018 002 ( And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and he came to them. 044 ACT 018 003 And because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 044 ACT 018 004 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 044 ACT 018 005 And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 044 ACT 018 006 And when they opposed them, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles. 044 ACT 018 007 And he departed from there, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was next to the synagogue. 044 ACT 018 008 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 044 ACT 018 009 Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 044 ACT 018 010 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee to hurt thee: for I have many people in this city. 044 ACT 018 011 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 044 ACT 018 012 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, 044 ACT 018 013 Saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 044 ACT 018 014 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked crimes, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: 044 ACT 018 015 But if it is a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters. 044 ACT 018 016 And he drove them from the judgment seat. 044 ACT 018 017 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. 044 ACT 018 018 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed from there into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. 044 ACT 018 019 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 044 ACT 018 020 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; 044 ACT 018 021 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. 044 ACT 018 022 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. 044 ACT 018 023 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples. 044 ACT 018 024 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 044 ACT 018 025 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 044 ACT 018 026 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly. 044 ACT 018 027 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace: 044 ACT 018 028 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. 044 ACT 019 001 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper regions came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 044 ACT 019 002 He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit. 044 ACT 019 003 And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism. 044 ACT 019 004 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 044 ACT 019 005 When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 044 ACT 019 006 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied. 044 ACT 019 007 And all the men were about twelve. 044 ACT 019 008 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. 044 ACT 019 009 But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 044 ACT 019 010 And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. 044 ACT 019 011 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 044 ACT 019 012 So that from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. 044 ACT 019 013 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 044 ACT 019 014 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did so. 044 ACT 019 015 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 044 ACT 019 016 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 044 ACT 019 017 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 044 ACT 019 018 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds. 044 ACT 019 019 Many also of them who practised magic brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 044 ACT 019 020 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. 044 ACT 019 021 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. 044 ACT 019 022 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 044 ACT 019 023 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. 044 ACT 019 024 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen; 044 ACT 019 025 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 044 ACT 019 026 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, which are made with hands: 044 ACT 019 027 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 044 ACT 019 028 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 044 ACT 019 029 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. 044 ACT 019 030 And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples permitted him not. 044 ACT 019 031 And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, beseeching him that he would not venture himself into the theatre. 044 ACT 019 032 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the greater part knew not why they had come together. 044 ACT 019 033 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence to the people. 044 ACT 019 034 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 044 ACT 019 035 And when the townclerk had quieted the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? 044 ACT 019 036 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. 044 ACT 019 037 For ye have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. 044 ACT 019 038 Therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them accuse one another. 044 ACT 019 039 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. 044 ACT 019 040 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this riotous gathering. 044 ACT 019 041 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. 044 ACT 020 001 And after the uproar had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed to go into Macedonia. 044 ACT 020 002 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 044 ACT 020 003 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia. 044 ACT 020 004 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 044 ACT 020 005 These going before tarried for us at Troas. 044 ACT 020 006 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. 044 ACT 020 007 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight. 044 ACT 020 008 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 044 ACT 020 009 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 044 ACT 020 010 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 044 ACT 020 011 When he had come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 044 ACT 020 012 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. 044 ACT 020 013 And we went before to a ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot. 044 ACT 020 014 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 044 ACT 020 015 And we sailed from there, and came the next day opposite Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus. 044 ACT 020 016 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. 044 ACT 020 017 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 044 ACT 020 018 And when they had come to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 044 ACT 020 019 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and trials, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 044 ACT 020 020 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, 044 ACT 020 021 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 044 ACT 020 022 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 044 ACT 020 023 Except that the Holy Spirit testifieth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. 044 ACT 020 024 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 044 ACT 020 025 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 044 ACT 020 026 Therefore I testify to you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 044 ACT 020 027 For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God. 044 ACT 020 028 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 044 ACT 020 029 For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 044 ACT 020 030 Also from your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 044 ACT 020 031 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 044 ACT 020 032 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them who are sanctified. 044 ACT 020 033 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 044 ACT 020 034 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me. 044 ACT 020 035 I have shown you all things, that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 044 ACT 020 036 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 044 ACT 020 037 And they all wept bitterly, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 044 ACT 020 038 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship. 044 ACT 021 001 And it came to pass, that after we were separated from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from there to Patara: 044 ACT 021 002 And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. 044 ACT 021 003 Now when we had come in sight of Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 044 ACT 021 004 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 021 005 And when we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed. 044 ACT 021 006 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again. 044 ACT 021 007 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and greeted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 044 ACT 021 008 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and abode with him. 044 ACT 021 009 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied. 044 ACT 021 010 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 044 ACT 021 011 And when he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this belt, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 044 ACT 021 012 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 021 013 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. 044 ACT 021 014 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. 044 ACT 021 015 And after those days we got ready, and went up to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 021 016 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge. 044 ACT 021 017 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 044 ACT 021 018 And the day following Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present. 044 ACT 021 019 And when he had greeted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 044 ACT 021 020 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of the law: 044 ACT 021 021 And they are informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 044 ACT 021 022 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 044 ACT 021 023 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them; 044 ACT 021 024 Take them and purify thyself with them, and pay their expenses that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. 044 ACT 021 025 As concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, except that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from immorality. 044 ACT 021 026 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an offering should be offered for every one of them. 044 ACT 021 027 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, 044 ACT 021 028 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further hath brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. 044 ACT 021 029 For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 044 ACT 021 030 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut. 044 ACT 021 031 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 044 ACT 021 032 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 044 ACT 021 033 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 044 ACT 021 034 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the barracks. 044 ACT 021 035 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne by the soldiers for the violence of the people. 044 ACT 021 036 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him. 044 ACT 021 037 And as Paul was to be led into the barracks, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? 044 ACT 021 038 Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? 044 ACT 021 039 But Paul said, I am a man who is a Jew of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, permit me to speak to the people. 044 ACT 021 040 And when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying, 044 ACT 022 001 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now to you. 044 ACT 022 002 And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept the more silence: and he saith, ) 044 ACT 022 003 I am verily a man who is a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, being zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 044 ACT 022 004 And I persecuted this way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 044 ACT 022 005 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the council of the elders: from whom also I received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them who were there bound to Jerusalem, to be punished. 044 ACT 022 006 And it came to pass, that, as I was on my journey, and had come near to Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light around me. 044 ACT 022 007 And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 044 ACT 022 008 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 044 ACT 022 009 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spoke to me. 044 ACT 022 010 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which are appointed for thee to do. 044 ACT 022 011 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. 044 ACT 022 012 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews who dwelt there, 044 ACT 022 013 Came to me, and stood, and said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. 044 ACT 022 014 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. 044 ACT 022 015 For thou shalt be his witness to all men of what thou hast seen and heard. 044 ACT 022 016 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. 044 ACT 022 017 And it came to pass, that, when I had come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; 044 ACT 022 018 And saw him saying to me, Make haste, and depart quickly from Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 044 ACT 022 019 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 044 ACT 022 020 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. 044 ACT 022 021 And he said to me, Depart: for I will send thee far away to the Gentiles. 044 ACT 022 022 And they hearkened to him until this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. 044 ACT 022 023 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, 044 ACT 022 024 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the barracks, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know for what cause they cried so against him. 044 ACT 022 025 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? 044 ACT 022 026 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. 044 ACT 022 027 Then the chief captain came, and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. 044 ACT 022 028 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum I obtained this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. 044 ACT 022 029 Then immediately they departed from him who were about to examine him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. 044 ACT 022 030 On the next day, because he would have known the certainty why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. 044 ACT 023 001 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 044 ACT 023 002 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth. 044 ACT 023 003 Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, thou whitewashed wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? 044 ACT 023 004 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest? 044 ACT 023 005 Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 044 ACT 023 006 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. 044 ACT 023 007 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. 044 ACT 023 008 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. 044 ACT 023 009 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. 044 ACT 023 010 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the barracks. 044 ACT 023 011 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear testimony also at Rome. 044 ACT 023 012 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 044 ACT 023 013 And they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy. 044 ACT 023 014 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. 044 ACT 023 015 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down to you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before he shall come near, are ready to kill him. 044 ACT 023 016 And when the son of Paul’s sister heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the barracks, and told Paul. 044 ACT 023 017 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 044 ACT 023 018 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this young man to thee, who hath something to say to thee. 044 ACT 023 019 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? 044 ACT 023 020 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat concerning him more perfectly. 044 ACT 023 021 But do not thou yield to them: for there are of them who lie in wait for him more than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now they are ready, looking for a promise from thee. 044 ACT 023 022 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shown these things to me. 044 ACT 023 023 And he called to him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; 044 ACT 023 024 And provide for them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor. 044 ACT 023 025 And he wrote a letter after this manner: 044 ACT 023 026 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. 044 ACT 023 027 This man was taken by the Jews, and should have been killed by them: then I came with a body of soldiers, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. 044 ACT 023 028 And when I would have known the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: 044 ACT 023 029 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. 044 ACT 023 030 And when it was told to me that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent immediately to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell. 044 ACT 023 031 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. 044 ACT 023 032 On the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks: 044 ACT 023 033 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. 044 ACT 023 034 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; 044 ACT 023 035 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers also have come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall. 044 ACT 024 001 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul. 044 ACT 024 002 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done to this nation by thy providence, 044 ACT 024 003 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 044 ACT 024 004 However, that I may not be further tedious to thee, I beseech thee that thou wouldest of thy clemency hear us a few words. 044 ACT 024 005 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: 044 ACT 024 006 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. 044 ACT 024 007 But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him out of our hands, 044 ACT 024 008 Commanding his accusers to come to thee: by examining whom thou thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, of which we accuse him. 044 ACT 024 009 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so. 044 ACT 024 010 Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been for many years a judge to this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: 044 ACT 024 011 That thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 044 ACT 024 012 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither provoking the people to sedition, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: 044 ACT 024 013 Neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me. 044 ACT 024 014 But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 044 ACT 024 015 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 044 ACT 024 016 And in this I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. 044 ACT 024 017 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. 044 ACT 024 018 Upon which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. 044 ACT 024 019 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had any thing against me. 044 ACT 024 020 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, 044 ACT 024 021 Except it is for this one thing, that I cried standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. 044 ACT 024 022 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will make a decision on your case. 044 ACT 024 023 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come to him. 044 ACT 024 024 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 044 ACT 024 025 And as he reasoned of righteousness, self-control, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. 044 ACT 024 026 He hoped also that money should have been given him by Paul, that he might loose him: therefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 044 ACT 024 027 But after two years Porcius Festus came in place of Felix: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a favour, left Paul bound. 044 ACT 025 001 Now when Festus had come into the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 025 002 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him, 044 ACT 025 003 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him. 044 ACT 025 004 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly there. 044 ACT 025 005 Let them therefore, said he, who among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there is any wickedness in him. 044 ACT 025 006 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought. 044 ACT 025 007 And when he had come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove. 044 ACT 025 008 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I committed any offence. 044 ACT 025 009 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a favour, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things before me? 044 ACT 025 010 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. 044 ACT 025 011 For if I am an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there is none of these things of which these accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar. 044 ACT 025 012 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed to Caesar? to Caesar thou shalt go. 044 ACT 025 013 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus. 044 ACT 025 014 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause to the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: 044 ACT 025 015 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 044 ACT 025 016 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before he who is accused hath the accusers face to face, and hath opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge laid against him. 044 ACT 025 017 Therefore, when they had come here, without any delay on the next day I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth. 044 ACT 025 018 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of such things as I supposed: 044 ACT 025 019 But had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 044 ACT 025 020 And because I was perplexed concerning such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these matters. 044 ACT 025 021 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved to the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar. 044 ACT 025 022 Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. 044 ACT 025 023 And on the next day, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and had entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought forth. 044 ACT 025 024 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. 044 ACT 025 025 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. 044 ACT 025 026 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write. 044 ACT 025 027 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not also to signify the charges laid against him. 044 ACT 026 001 Then Agrippa said to Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: 044 ACT 026 002 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews: 044 ACT 026 003 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: therefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. 044 ACT 026 004 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among my own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; 044 ACT 026 005 Who knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most strict sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 044 ACT 026 006 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers: 044 ACT 026 007 To which promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. 044 ACT 026 008 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? 044 ACT 026 009 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 044 ACT 026 010 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 044 ACT 026 011 And I punished them often in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities. 044 ACT 026 012 Upon which as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 044 ACT 026 013 At noon, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, beyond the brightness of the sun, shining around me and them who journeyed with me. 044 ACT 026 014 And when we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goads. 044 ACT 026 015 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 044 ACT 026 016 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared to thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of the things which thou hast seen, and of the things in which I will appear to thee; 044 ACT 026 017 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom now I send thee, 044 ACT 026 018 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them who are sanctified by faith that is in me. 044 ACT 026 019 Upon which, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision: 044 ACT 026 020 But showed first to them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works fit for repentance. 044 ACT 026 021 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. 044 ACT 026 022 Having therefore obtained help from God, I continue to this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 044 ACT 026 023 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light to the people, and to the Gentiles. 044 ACT 026 024 And as he was thus speaking for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 044 ACT 026 025 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. 044 ACT 026 026 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. 044 ACT 026 027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 044 ACT 026 028 Then Agrippa said to Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 044 ACT 026 029 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. 044 ACT 026 030 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: 044 ACT 026 031 And when they had gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 044 ACT 026 032 Then said Agrippa to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar. 044 ACT 027 001 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band. 044 ACT 027 002 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 044 ACT 027 003 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously treated Paul, and gave him liberty to go to his friends to refresh himself. 044 ACT 027 004 And when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 044 ACT 027 005 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 044 ACT 027 006 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us on board. 044 ACT 027 007 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce had come off Cnidus, the wind did not permit us, we sailed under Crete, off Salmone; 044 ACT 027 008 And, scarcely passing it, came to a place which is called The fair havens; near which was the city of Lasea. 044 ACT 027 009 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 044 ACT 027 010 And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with harm and much damage, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives. 044 ACT 027 011 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than the things which were spoken by Paul. 044 ACT 027 012 And because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the greater part advised to depart from there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. 044 ACT 027 013 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing from there, they sailed close by Crete. 044 ACT 027 014 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 044 ACT 027 015 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 044 ACT 027 016 And running under a certain isle which is called Clauda, we had much work to secure the boat: 044 ACT 027 017 Which when they had taken it up, they used cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven. 044 ACT 027 018 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 044 ACT 027 019 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 044 ACT 027 020 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. 044 ACT 027 021 But after being long without food Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. 044 ACT 027 022 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but of the ship. 044 ACT 027 023 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 044 ACT 027 024 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 044 ACT 027 025 Therefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told to me. 044 ACT 027 026 But we must be cast upon a certain isle. 044 ACT 027 027 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen thought that they drew near to some country; 044 ACT 027 028 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 044 ACT 027 029 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 044 ACT 027 030 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under pretence as though they would cast anchors out of the foreship, 044 ACT 027 031 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 044 ACT 027 032 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 044 ACT 027 033 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 044 ACT 027 034 Therefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 044 ACT 027 035 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 044 ACT 027 036 Then they were all of good cheer, and they also took food. 044 ACT 027 037 And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy and six souls. 044 ACT 027 038 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast the wheat into the sea. 044 ACT 027 039 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into which they purposed, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. 044 ACT 027 040 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted the mainsail to the wind, and made toward the shore. 044 ACT 027 041 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the bow stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the stern was broken with the violence of the waves. 044 ACT 027 042 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 044 ACT 027 043 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 044 ACT 027 044 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land. 044 ACT 028 001 And when they had escaped, then they knew that the isle was called Melita. 044 ACT 028 002 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 044 ACT 028 003 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 044 ACT 028 004 And when the barbarians saw the venomous creature hanging from his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet Vengeance alloweth not to live. 044 ACT 028 005 And he shook off the creature into the fire, and felt no harm. 044 ACT 028 006 Yet they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. 044 ACT 028 007 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the isle, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. 044 ACT 028 008 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick with a fever and a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. 044 ACT 028 009 So when this was done, others also, who had diseases in the isle, came, and were healed: 044 ACT 028 010 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they supplied us with such things as were necessary. 044 ACT 028 011 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. 044 ACT 028 012 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. 044 ACT 028 013 And from there we sailed around, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: 044 ACT 028 014 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. 044 ACT 028 015 And from there, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. 044 ACT 028 016 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. 044 ACT 028 017 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called together the chief of the Jews: and when they were assembled, he said to them, Men, brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. 044 ACT 028 018 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. 044 ACT 028 019 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of. 044 ACT 028 020 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. 044 ACT 028 021 And they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, neither have any of the brethren that came shown or spoken any harm of thee. 044 ACT 028 022 But we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. 044 ACT 028 023 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 044 ACT 028 024 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 044 ACT 028 025 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, 044 ACT 028 026 Saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 044 ACT 028 027 For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 044 ACT 028 028 Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it. 044 ACT 028 029 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great dispute among themselves. 044 ACT 028 030 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in to him, 044 ACT 028 031 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. # # BOOK 045 ROM Romans Romans 045 ROM 001 001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God, 045 ROM 001 002 ( Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures, ) 045 ROM 001 003 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh; 045 ROM 001 004 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 045 ROM 001 005 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 045 ROM 001 006 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 045 ROM 001 007 To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 045 ROM 001 008 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 045 ROM 001 009 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 045 ROM 001 010 Making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you. 045 ROM 001 011 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that ye may be established; 045 ROM 001 012 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 045 ROM 001 013 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, ( but was hindered until now, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. 045 ROM 001 014 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 045 ROM 001 015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 045 ROM 001 016 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 045 ROM 001 017 For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 045 ROM 001 018 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 045 ROM 001 019 Because that which may be known of God is evident in them; for God hath shown it to them. 045 ROM 001 020 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126) 045 ROM 001 021 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 045 ROM 001 022 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 045 ROM 001 023 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 045 ROM 001 024 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 045 ROM 001 025 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 001 026 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: 045 ROM 001 027 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was due. 045 ROM 001 028 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not proper; 045 ROM 001 029 Being filled with all unrighteousness, immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 045 ROM 001 030 Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 045 ROM 001 031 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 045 ROM 001 032 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. 045 ROM 002 001 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art that judgest: for in that thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 045 ROM 002 002 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them who commit such things. 045 ROM 002 003 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 045 ROM 002 004 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 045 ROM 002 005 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 045 ROM 002 006 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 045 ROM 002 007 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 002 008 But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 045 ROM 002 009 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 045 ROM 002 010 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 045 ROM 002 011 For there is no respect of persons with God. 045 ROM 002 012 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 045 ROM 002 013 ( For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 045 ROM 002 014 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law to themselves: 045 ROM 002 015 Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; ) 045 ROM 002 016 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. 045 ROM 002 017 But if, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 045 ROM 002 018 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 045 ROM 002 019 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness, 045 ROM 002 020 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 045 ROM 002 021 Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 045 ROM 002 022 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 045 ROM 002 023 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 045 ROM 002 024 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 045 ROM 002 025 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law: but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 045 ROM 002 026 Therefore if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 045 ROM 002 027 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it keepeth the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 045 ROM 002 028 For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 045 ROM 002 029 But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God. 045 ROM 003 001 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 045 ROM 003 002 Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God. 045 ROM 003 003 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 045 ROM 003 004 By no means: verily, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. 045 ROM 003 005 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man ) 045 ROM 003 006 By no means: for then how shall God judge the world? 045 ROM 003 007 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 045 ROM 003 008 ( And not rather, ( as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, ) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. 045 ROM 003 009 What then? are we better than they? No, in no way: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 045 ROM 003 010 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 045 ROM 003 011 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God. 045 ROM 003 012 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 045 ROM 003 013 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 045 ROM 003 014 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 045 ROM 003 015 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 045 ROM 003 016 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 045 ROM 003 017 And the way of peace have they not known: 045 ROM 003 018 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 045 ROM 003 019 Now we know that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 045 ROM 003 020 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 045 ROM 003 021 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 045 ROM 003 022 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 045 ROM 003 023 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 045 ROM 003 024 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ: 045 ROM 003 025 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 045 ROM 003 026 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus. 045 ROM 003 027 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 045 ROM 003 028 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 045 ROM 003 029 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 045 ROM 003 030 Seeing it is one God, who shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 045 ROM 003 031 Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but, we establish the law. 045 ROM 004 001 What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 045 ROM 004 002 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to glory about; but not before God. 045 ROM 004 003 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 004 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 045 ROM 004 005 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 006 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness apart from works, 045 ROM 004 007 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 045 ROM 004 008 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 045 ROM 004 009 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 010 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 045 ROM 004 011 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they are not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed to them also: 045 ROM 004 012 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 045 ROM 004 013 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 045 ROM 004 014 For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect: 045 ROM 004 015 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 045 ROM 004 016 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 045 ROM 004 017 As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth those things which are not as though they were. 045 ROM 004 018 Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 045 ROM 004 019 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: 045 ROM 004 020 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 045 ROM 004 021 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 045 ROM 004 022 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 023 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 045 ROM 004 024 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead; 045 ROM 004 025 Who was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification. 045 ROM 005 001 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 045 ROM 005 002 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 045 ROM 005 003 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 045 ROM 005 004 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 045 ROM 005 005 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given to us. 045 ROM 005 006 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 045 ROM 005 007 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die. 045 ROM 005 008 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 045 ROM 005 009 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 045 ROM 005 010 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 045 ROM 005 011 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation. 045 ROM 005 012 Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 045 ROM 005 013 ( For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 045 ROM 005 014 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 045 ROM 005 015 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to many. 045 ROM 005 016 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to justification. 045 ROM 005 017 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 045 ROM 005 018 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men to justification of life. 045 ROM 005 019 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 045 ROM 005 020 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 045 ROM 005 021 That as sin hath reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 006 001 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 045 ROM 006 002 By no means. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it? 045 ROM 006 003 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 045 ROM 006 004 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 045 ROM 006 005 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 045 ROM 006 006 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 045 ROM 006 007 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 045 ROM 006 008 Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 045 ROM 006 009 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 045 ROM 006 010 For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. 045 ROM 006 011 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 045 ROM 006 012 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in its lusts. 045 ROM 006 013 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 045 ROM 006 014 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 045 ROM 006 015 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means. 045 ROM 006 016 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? 045 ROM 006 017 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you. 045 ROM 006 018 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 045 ROM 006 019 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity to work iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness to work holiness. 045 ROM 006 020 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 045 ROM 006 021 What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 045 ROM 006 022 But now being made free from sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 006 023 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 007 001 Know ye not, brethren, ( for I speak to them that know the law, ) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 045 ROM 007 002 For the woman who hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband is dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 045 ROM 007 003 So then if, while her husband liveth, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 045 ROM 007 004 Therefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God. 045 ROM 007 005 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death. 045 ROM 007 006 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 045 ROM 007 007 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 045 ROM 007 008 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of lust. For apart from the law sin was dead. 045 ROM 007 009 For I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 045 ROM 007 010 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be to death. 045 ROM 007 011 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 045 ROM 007 012 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 045 ROM 007 013 Was then that which is good made death to me? By no means. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 045 ROM 007 014 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 045 ROM 007 015 For that which I do I understand not: for what I would, that I do not; but what I hate, that I do. 045 ROM 007 016 If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good. 045 ROM 007 017 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 045 ROM 007 018 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, ) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 045 ROM 007 019 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 045 ROM 007 020 Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 045 ROM 007 021 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 045 ROM 007 022 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 045 ROM 007 023 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 045 ROM 007 024 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 045 ROM 007 025 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 045 ROM 008 001 There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 045 ROM 008 002 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 045 ROM 008 003 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 045 ROM 008 004 That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 045 ROM 008 005 For they that are according to the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 045 ROM 008 006 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 045 ROM 008 007 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 045 ROM 008 008 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 045 ROM 008 009 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. 045 ROM 008 010 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 045 ROM 008 011 But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 045 ROM 008 012 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 045 ROM 008 013 For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 045 ROM 008 014 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 045 ROM 008 015 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. 045 ROM 008 016 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 045 ROM 008 017 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be glorified together. 045 ROM 008 018 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 045 ROM 008 019 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. 045 ROM 008 020 For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 045 ROM 008 021 Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 045 ROM 008 022 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 045 ROM 008 023 And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our body. 045 ROM 008 024 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 045 ROM 008 025 But if we hope for what we see not, then with patience we wait for it. 045 ROM 008 026 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 045 ROM 008 027 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 045 ROM 008 028 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 045 ROM 008 029 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 045 ROM 008 030 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 045 ROM 008 031 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 045 ROM 008 032 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 045 ROM 008 033 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 045 ROM 008 034 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, or rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 045 ROM 008 035 What shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 045 ROM 008 036 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 045 ROM 008 037 But, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 045 ROM 008 038 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 045 ROM 008 039 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 045 ROM 009 001 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 045 ROM 009 002 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 045 ROM 009 003 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 045 ROM 009 004 Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 045 ROM 009 005 Whose are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 009 006 Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel: 045 ROM 009 007 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 045 ROM 009 008 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 045 ROM 009 009 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. 045 ROM 009 010 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 045 ROM 009 011 ( For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; ) 045 ROM 009 012 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger. 045 ROM 009 013 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 045 ROM 009 014 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means. 045 ROM 009 015 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 045 ROM 009 016 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. 045 ROM 009 017 For the scripture saith to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 045 ROM 009 018 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 045 ROM 009 019 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 045 ROM 009 020 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 045 ROM 009 021 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? 045 ROM 009 022 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 045 ROM 009 023 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory, 045 ROM 009 024 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 045 ROM 009 025 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved. 045 ROM 009 026 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 045 ROM 009 027 Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 045 ROM 009 028 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 045 ROM 009 029 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah. 045 ROM 009 030 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith. 045 ROM 009 031 But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 045 ROM 009 032 Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 045 ROM 009 033 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 045 ROM 010 001 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved. 045 ROM 010 002 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 045 ROM 010 003 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. 045 ROM 010 004 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 045 ROM 010 005 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth those things shall live by them. 045 ROM 010 006 But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: ) 045 ROM 010 007 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12) 045 ROM 010 008 But what saith it? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 045 ROM 010 009 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 045 ROM 010 010 For with the heart man believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. 045 ROM 010 011 For the scripture saith, Whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 045 ROM 010 012 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him. 045 ROM 010 013 For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 045 ROM 010 014 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 045 ROM 010 015 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 045 ROM 010 016 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 045 ROM 010 017 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 045 ROM 010 018 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. 045 ROM 010 019 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 045 ROM 010 020 But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found by them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not for me. 045 ROM 010 021 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and contrary people. 045 ROM 011 001 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 045 ROM 011 002 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 045 ROM 011 003 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and torn down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 045 ROM 011 004 But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 045 ROM 011 005 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 045 ROM 011 006 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 045 ROM 011 007 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 045 ROM 011 008 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; ) to this day. 045 ROM 011 009 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence to them: 045 ROM 011 010 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always. 045 ROM 011 011 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. 045 ROM 011 012 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 045 ROM 011 013 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office: 045 ROM 011 014 If by any means I may provoke to jealousy them who are my flesh, and may save some of them. 045 ROM 011 015 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 045 ROM 011 016 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 045 ROM 011 017 And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 045 ROM 011 018 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 045 ROM 011 019 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 045 ROM 011 020 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 045 ROM 011 021 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 045 ROM 011 022 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 045 ROM 011 023 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 045 ROM 011 024 For if thou wast cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? 045 ROM 011 025 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part hath happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles shall be come in. 045 ROM 011 026 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 045 ROM 011 027 For this is my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins. 045 ROM 011 028 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. 045 ROM 011 029 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 045 ROM 011 030 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 045 ROM 011 031 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 045 ROM 011 032 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653) 045 ROM 011 033 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 045 ROM 011 034 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 045 ROM 011 035 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again? 045 ROM 011 036 For from him, and by him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 012 001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 045 ROM 012 002 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 012 003 For, through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 045 ROM 012 004 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 045 ROM 012 005 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 045 ROM 012 006 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 045 ROM 012 007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 045 ROM 012 008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. 045 ROM 012 009 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 045 ROM 012 010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 045 ROM 012 011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 045 ROM 012 012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing steadfastly in prayer; 045 ROM 012 013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 045 ROM 012 014 Bless them who persecute you: bless, and curse not. 045 ROM 012 015 Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 045 ROM 012 016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 045 ROM 012 017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 045 ROM 012 018 If it is possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 045 ROM 012 019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 045 ROM 012 020 Therefore if thy enemy is hungry, feed him; if he thirsteth, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 045 ROM 012 021 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 045 ROM 013 001 Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God. 045 ROM 013 002 Whoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves condemnation. 045 ROM 013 003 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: 045 ROM 013 004 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 045 ROM 013 005 Therefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 045 ROM 013 006 For for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 045 ROM 013 007 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 045 ROM 013 008 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 045 ROM 013 009 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 045 ROM 013 010 Love worketh no ill to one’s neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 045 ROM 013 011 And this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 045 ROM 013 012 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 045 ROM 013 013 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in revellings and drunkenness, not in immorality and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 045 ROM 013 014 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the lusts of flesh. 045 ROM 014 001 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 045 ROM 014 002 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 045 ROM 014 003 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 045 ROM 014 004 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. And, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand. 045 ROM 014 005 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 045 ROM 014 006 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 045 ROM 014 007 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 045 ROM 014 008 For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. 045 ROM 014 009 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living. 045 ROM 014 010 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou show contempt for thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 045 ROM 014 011 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 045 ROM 014 012 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 045 ROM 014 013 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 045 ROM 014 014 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 045 ROM 014 015 But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not in love. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died. 045 ROM 014 016 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 045 ROM 014 017 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 045 ROM 014 018 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved by men. 045 ROM 014 019 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things which one may edify another. 045 ROM 014 020 For the sake of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 045 ROM 014 021 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 045 ROM 014 022 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he approveth. 045 ROM 014 023 And he that doubteth is condemned if he eateth, because he eateth not from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin. 045 ROM 015 001 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 045 ROM 015 002 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 045 ROM 015 003 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 045 ROM 015 004 For whatever things were written in former times were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 045 ROM 015 005 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 045 ROM 015 006 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 045 ROM 015 007 Therefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 045 ROM 015 008 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers: 045 ROM 015 009 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name. 045 ROM 015 010 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 045 ROM 015 011 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 045 ROM 015 012 And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. 045 ROM 015 013 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit. 045 ROM 015 014 And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 045 ROM 015 015 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God, 045 ROM 015 016 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 045 ROM 015 017 I have therefore cause for glorying through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. 045 ROM 015 018 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 045 ROM 015 019 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 045 ROM 015 020 And, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 045 ROM 015 021 But as it is written, They shall see to whom he was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand. 045 ROM 015 022 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. 045 ROM 015 023 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you; 045 ROM 015 024 Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way there by you, if first I shall be somewhat filled with your company. 045 ROM 015 025 But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. 045 ROM 015 026 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem. 045 ROM 015 027 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things. 045 ROM 015 028 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain. 045 ROM 015 029 And I am sure that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. 045 ROM 015 030 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 045 ROM 015 031 That I may be delivered from them in Judaea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints; 045 ROM 015 032 That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 045 ROM 015 033 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. 045 ROM 016 001 I commend to you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 045 ROM 016 002 That ye receive her in the Lord, as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a helper of many, and of myself also. 045 ROM 016 003 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: 045 ROM 016 004 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 045 ROM 016 005 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ. 045 ROM 016 006 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. 045 ROM 016 007 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 045 ROM 016 008 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. 045 ROM 016 009 Greet Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 045 ROM 016 010 Greet Apelles approved in Christ. Greet them who are of Aristobulus’ household. 045 ROM 016 011 Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. 045 ROM 016 012 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who laboured much in the Lord. 045 ROM 016 013 Greet Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 045 ROM 016 014 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them. 045 ROM 016 015 Greet Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. 045 ROM 016 016 Greet one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you. 045 ROM 016 017 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 045 ROM 016 018 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own body; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the innocent. 045 ROM 016 019 For your obedience is come abroad to all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise to that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 045 ROM 016 020 And the God of peace shall soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 045 ROM 016 021 Timothy my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you. 045 ROM 016 022 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord. 045 ROM 016 023 Gaius my host, and of the whole church, greeteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city greeteth you, and Quartus a brother. 045 ROM 016 024 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 045 ROM 016 025 Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which hath been kept secret since the world began, (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 016 026 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 016 027 To God the only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinth, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea. (aiōn g165) # # BOOK 046 1CO 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 046 1CO 001 001 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 046 1CO 001 002 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: 046 1CO 001 003 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 001 004 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 046 1CO 001 005 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 046 1CO 001 006 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 046 1CO 001 007 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 046 1CO 001 008 Who shall also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 001 009 God is faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 046 1CO 001 010 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 046 1CO 001 011 For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 046 1CO 001 012 Now this I say, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 046 1CO 001 013 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 046 1CO 001 014 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 046 1CO 001 015 Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name. 046 1CO 001 016 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 046 1CO 001 017 For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. 046 1CO 001 018 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved it is the power of God. 046 1CO 001 019 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 046 1CO 001 020 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 001 021 For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 046 1CO 001 022 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom: 046 1CO 001 023 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumblingblock, and to the Greeks foolishness; 046 1CO 001 024 But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 046 1CO 001 025 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 046 1CO 001 026 For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 046 1CO 001 027 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 046 1CO 001 028 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 046 1CO 001 029 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 046 1CO 001 030 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 046 1CO 001 031 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 046 1CO 002 001 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. 046 1CO 002 002 For I determined not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 046 1CO 002 003 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 046 1CO 002 004 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 046 1CO 002 005 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 046 1CO 002 006 However we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 002 007 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world to our glory: (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 002 008 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 002 009 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 046 1CO 002 010 But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, even, the deep things of God. 046 1CO 002 011 For what man knoweth the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 046 1CO 002 012 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God. 046 1CO 002 013 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 046 1CO 002 014 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 046 1CO 002 015 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man. 046 1CO 002 016 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 046 1CO 003 001 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ. 046 1CO 003 002 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for until now ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 046 1CO 003 003 For ye are yet carnal: for though there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 046 1CO 003 004 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 046 1CO 003 005 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 046 1CO 003 006 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God hath given the increase. 046 1CO 003 007 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 046 1CO 003 008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 046 1CO 003 009 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s field, ye are God’s building. 046 1CO 003 010 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it. 046 1CO 003 011 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 003 012 Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 046 1CO 003 013 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 046 1CO 003 014 If any man’s work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward. 046 1CO 003 015 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 046 1CO 003 016 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 046 1CO 003 017 If any man defileth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 046 1CO 003 018 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 003 019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 046 1CO 003 020 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 046 1CO 003 021 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 046 1CO 003 022 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 046 1CO 003 023 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. 046 1CO 004 001 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 046 1CO 004 002 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 046 1CO 004 003 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment: yea, I judge not my own self. 046 1CO 004 004 For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 046 1CO 004 005 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will reveal the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from God. 046 1CO 004 006 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye may learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you on account of one may be puffed up against another. 046 1CO 004 007 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 046 1CO 004 008 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wish ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. 046 1CO 004 009 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. 046 1CO 004 010 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 046 1CO 004 011 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 046 1CO 004 012 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it: 046 1CO 004 013 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day. 046 1CO 004 014 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 046 1CO 004 015 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 046 1CO 004 016 Therefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 046 1CO 004 017 For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. 046 1CO 004 018 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 046 1CO 004 019 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power. 046 1CO 004 020 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 046 1CO 004 021 What will ye? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? 046 1CO 005 001 It is reported commonly that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 046 1CO 005 002 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 046 1CO 005 003 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 046 1CO 005 004 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 046 1CO 005 005 To deliver such one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 046 1CO 005 006 Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 046 1CO 005 007 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 046 1CO 005 008 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 046 1CO 005 009 I wrote to you in my epistle not to associate with immoral people: 046 1CO 005 010 Yet not altogether with immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then ye must needs go out of the world. 046 1CO 005 011 But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a person no not to eat. 046 1CO 005 012 For what have I to do to judge them also that are outside the church? do ye not judge them that are within? 046 1CO 005 013 But them that are outside God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. 046 1CO 006 001 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 046 1CO 006 002 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 046 1CO 006 003 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 046 1CO 006 004 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 046 1CO 006 005 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 046 1CO 006 006 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. 046 1CO 006 007 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather allow yourselves to be defrauded? 046 1CO 006 008 But, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 046 1CO 006 009 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 046 1CO 006 010 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 046 1CO 006 011 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 046 1CO 006 012 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 046 1CO 006 013 Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 046 1CO 006 014 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 046 1CO 006 015 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? By no means. 046 1CO 006 016 What? know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 046 1CO 006 017 But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. 046 1CO 006 018 Flee immorality. Every sin that a man doeth is outside the body; but he that committeth immorality sinneth against his own body. 046 1CO 006 019 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own? 046 1CO 006 020 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 046 1CO 007 001 Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 046 1CO 007 002 Nevertheless, to avoid immorality, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 046 1CO 007 003 Let the husband render to the wife her due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband. 046 1CO 007 004 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 046 1CO 007 005 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your lack of self-control. 046 1CO 007 006 But I speak this by permission, and not as a commandment. 046 1CO 007 007 For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that. 046 1CO 007 008 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I. 046 1CO 007 009 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 046 1CO 007 010 And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 046 1CO 007 011 But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 046 1CO 007 012 But to the rest I speak, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 046 1CO 007 013 And the woman who hath an husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 046 1CO 007 014 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 046 1CO 007 015 But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 046 1CO 007 016 For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 046 1CO 007 017 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches. 046 1CO 007 018 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised. 046 1CO 007 019 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. 046 1CO 007 020 Let every man remain in the same calling in which he was called. 046 1CO 007 021 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 046 1CO 007 022 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant. 046 1CO 007 023 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 046 1CO 007 024 Brethren, let every man, in the state in which he is called, continue in it with God. 046 1CO 007 025 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful. 046 1CO 007 026 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. 046 1CO 007 027 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 046 1CO 007 028 But if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. 046 1CO 007 029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 046 1CO 007 030 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; 046 1CO 007 031 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. 046 1CO 007 032 But I would have you without care. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 046 1CO 007 033 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 046 1CO 007 034 There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 046 1CO 007 035 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. 046 1CO 007 036 But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. 046 1CO 007 037 Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 046 1CO 007 038 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. 046 1CO 007 039 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 046 1CO 007 040 But she is happier if she so remain, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. 046 1CO 008 001 Now as concerning things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 046 1CO 008 002 And if any man thinketh that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 046 1CO 008 003 But if any man loveth God, the same is known by him. 046 1CO 008 004 Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 046 1CO 008 005 For though there are that are called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, as there are gods many, and lords many, ) 046 1CO 008 006 Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 046 1CO 008 007 But there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 046 1CO 008 008 But food commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 046 1CO 008 009 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours should become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 046 1CO 008 010 For if any man shall see thee who hast knowledge sit eating in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 046 1CO 008 011 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 046 1CO 008 012 But when ye thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 046 1CO 008 013 Therefore, if food maketh my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 009 001 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my work in the Lord? 046 1CO 009 002 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 046 1CO 009 003 My answer to them that examine me is this, 046 1CO 009 004 Have we no right to eat and to drink? 046 1CO 009 005 Have we no right to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 046 1CO 009 006 Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to forbear working? 046 1CO 009 007 Who goeth to war at any time at his own expense? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of its fruit? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 046 1CO 009 008 Do I say these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 046 1CO 009 009 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the grain. Doth God take care for oxen? 046 1CO 009 010 Or saith he this altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 046 1CO 009 011 If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 046 1CO 009 012 If others are partakers of this right over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this right; but endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 046 1CO 009 013 Do ye not know that they who minister about holy things live from the things of the temple? and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 046 1CO 009 014 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel. 046 1CO 009 015 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 046 1CO 009 016 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of: for necessity is laid upon me; and, woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel! 046 1CO 009 017 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed to me. 046 1CO 009 018 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my right in the gospel. 046 1CO 009 019 For though I am free from all men, yet I have made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more. 046 1CO 009 020 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 046 1CO 009 021 To them that are without law, as without law, ( being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ, ) that I might gain them that are without law. 046 1CO 009 022 To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 046 1CO 009 023 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a partaker of it with you. 046 1CO 009 024 Know ye not that they who run in a race all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 046 1CO 009 025 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 046 1CO 009 026 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so I fight, not as one that beateth the air: 046 1CO 009 027 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 046 1CO 010 001 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 046 1CO 010 002 And were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 046 1CO 010 003 And all ate the same spiritual food; 046 1CO 010 004 And all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 046 1CO 010 005 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 046 1CO 010 006 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 046 1CO 010 007 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 046 1CO 010 008 Neither let us commit immorality, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 046 1CO 010 009 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents. 046 1CO 010 010 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 046 1CO 010 011 Now all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 010 012 Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 046 1CO 010 013 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 046 1CO 010 014 Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 046 1CO 010 015 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 046 1CO 010 016 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 046 1CO 010 017 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 046 1CO 010 018 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 046 1CO 010 019 What then do I say? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 046 1CO 010 020 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons. 046 1CO 010 021 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of demons. 046 1CO 010 022 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 046 1CO 010 023 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 046 1CO 010 024 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s good. 046 1CO 010 025 Whatever is sold in the meat market, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 046 1CO 010 026 For the earth is the Lord’s, and all it containeth. 046 1CO 010 027 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 046 1CO 010 028 But if any man shall say to you, This is offered in sacrifice to idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and all it containeth: 046 1CO 010 029 Conscience, I say, not thy own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 046 1CO 010 030 For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 046 1CO 010 031 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 046 1CO 010 032 Give no offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 046 1CO 010 033 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. 046 1CO 011 001 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 046 1CO 011 002 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 046 1CO 011 003 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 046 1CO 011 004 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 046 1CO 011 005 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaved. 046 1CO 011 006 For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 046 1CO 011 007 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 046 1CO 011 008 For the man is not from the woman; but the woman from the man. 046 1CO 011 009 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 046 1CO 011 010 For this cause ought the woman to have authority on her head because of the angels. 046 1CO 011 011 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 046 1CO 011 012 For as the woman is from the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things from God. 046 1CO 011 013 Judge in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman should pray to God uncovered? 046 1CO 011 014 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him? 046 1CO 011 015 But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 046 1CO 011 016 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 046 1CO 011 017 Now in this that I declare to you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 046 1CO 011 018 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 046 1CO 011 019 For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be become evident among you. 046 1CO 011 020 When therefore ye come together in one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. 046 1CO 011 021 For in eating every one taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunk. 046 1CO 011 022 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 046 1CO 011 023 For I have received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 046 1CO 011 024 And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 046 1CO 011 025 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 046 1CO 011 026 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he shall come. 046 1CO 011 027 Therefore whoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 046 1CO 011 028 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 046 1CO 011 029 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 046 1CO 011 030 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 046 1CO 011 031 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 046 1CO 011 032 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 046 1CO 011 033 Therefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 046 1CO 011 034 And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that ye come not together to judgment. And the rest will I set in order when I come. 046 1CO 012 001 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 046 1CO 012 002 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 046 1CO 012 003 Therefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. 046 1CO 012 004 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 046 1CO 012 005 And there are varieties of administrations, but the same Lord. 046 1CO 012 006 And there are varieties of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all. 046 1CO 012 007 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit of all. 046 1CO 012 008 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 046 1CO 012 009 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 046 1CO 012 010 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 046 1CO 012 011 But all these worketh that one and the very same Spirit, dividing to every man individually as he will. 046 1CO 012 012 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 046 1CO 012 013 For by one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 046 1CO 012 014 For the body is not one member, but many. 046 1CO 012 015 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 046 1CO 012 016 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 046 1CO 012 017 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 046 1CO 012 018 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 046 1CO 012 019 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 046 1CO 012 020 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 046 1CO 012 021 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 046 1CO 012 022 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 046 1CO 012 023 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 046 1CO 012 024 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 046 1CO 012 025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 046 1CO 012 026 And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 046 1CO 012 027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 046 1CO 012 028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, various kinds of tongues. 046 1CO 012 029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 046 1CO 012 030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 046 1CO 012 031 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet I show to you a more excellent way. 046 1CO 013 001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 046 1CO 013 002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 046 1CO 013 003 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 046 1CO 013 004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 046 1CO 013 005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 046 1CO 013 006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 046 1CO 013 007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 046 1CO 013 008 Charity never faileth: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away. 046 1CO 013 009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 046 1CO 013 010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 046 1CO 013 011 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 046 1CO 013 012 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 046 1CO 013 013 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 046 1CO 014 001 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 046 1CO 014 002 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; yet in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 046 1CO 014 003 But he that prophesieth speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 046 1CO 014 004 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 046 1CO 014 005 I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 046 1CO 014 006 Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? 046 1CO 014 007 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 046 1CO 014 008 For if the trumpet shall give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for battle? 046 1CO 014 009 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 046 1CO 014 010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 046 1CO 014 011 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian to me. 046 1CO 014 012 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 046 1CO 014 013 Therefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 046 1CO 014 014 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 046 1CO 014 015 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 046 1CO 014 016 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the place of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? 046 1CO 014 017 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 046 1CO 014 018 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 046 1CO 014 019 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 046 1CO 014 020 Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 046 1CO 014 021 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 046 1CO 014 022 Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them who believe. 046 1CO 014 023 If therefore the whole church is assembled in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 046 1CO 014 024 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all: 046 1CO 014 025 And thus are the secrets of his heart made known; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you in truth. 046 1CO 014 026 How is it then, brethren? when ye are assembled, each one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 046 1CO 014 027 If any man speaketh in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 046 1CO 014 028 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 046 1CO 014 029 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge. 046 1CO 014 030 If any thing is revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 046 1CO 014 031 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 046 1CO 014 032 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 046 1CO 014 033 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 046 1CO 014 034 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 046 1CO 014 035 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 046 1CO 014 036 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it to you only? 046 1CO 014 037 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. 046 1CO 014 038 But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant. 046 1CO 014 039 Therefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 046 1CO 014 040 Let all things be done decently and in order. 046 1CO 015 001 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which ye stand; 046 1CO 015 002 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have believed in vain. 046 1CO 015 003 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 046 1CO 015 004 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 046 1CO 015 005 And that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve: 046 1CO 015 006 After that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep. 046 1CO 015 007 After that, he was seen by James; then by all the apostles. 046 1CO 015 008 And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. 046 1CO 015 009 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 046 1CO 015 010 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 046 1CO 015 011 Therefore whether it was I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 046 1CO 015 012 Now if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 046 1CO 015 013 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 046 1CO 015 014 And if Christ is not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 046 1CO 015 015 And indeed, we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in fact the dead rise not. 046 1CO 015 016 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 046 1CO 015 017 And if Christ is not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 046 1CO 015 018 Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 046 1CO 015 019 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 046 1CO 015 020 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 046 1CO 015 021 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 046 1CO 015 022 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 046 1CO 015 023 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 046 1CO 015 024 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 046 1CO 015 025 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 046 1CO 015 026 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 046 1CO 015 027 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him. 046 1CO 015 028 And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 046 1CO 015 029 Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? 046 1CO 015 030 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 046 1CO 015 031 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 046 1CO 015 032 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. 046 1CO 015 033 Be not deceived: evil company corrupteth good habits. 046 1CO 015 034 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 046 1CO 015 035 But some man will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come? 046 1CO 015 036 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not made alive, except it die: 046 1CO 015 037 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some other grain: 046 1CO 015 038 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed its own body. 046 1CO 015 039 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 046 1CO 015 040 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 046 1CO 015 041 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 046 1CO 015 042 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 046 1CO 015 043 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 046 1CO 015 044 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 046 1CO 015 045 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a living spirit. 046 1CO 015 046 However that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 046 1CO 015 047 The first man is from the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 046 1CO 015 048 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 046 1CO 015 049 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 046 1CO 015 050 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 046 1CO 015 051 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 046 1CO 015 052 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 046 1CO 015 053 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 046 1CO 015 054 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 046 1CO 015 055 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86) 046 1CO 015 056 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 046 1CO 015 057 But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 015 058 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 046 1CO 016 001 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 046 1CO 016 002 Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no collections when I come. 046 1CO 016 003 And when I come, whomever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality to Jerusalem. 046 1CO 016 004 And if it be proper that I should go also, they shall go with me. 046 1CO 016 005 Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I am to pass through Macedonia. 046 1CO 016 006 And it may be that I will abide, and even winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey wherever I go. 046 1CO 016 007 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 046 1CO 016 008 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 046 1CO 016 009 For a great door and effectual is opened to me, and there are many adversaries. 046 1CO 016 010 Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. 046 1CO 016 011 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren. 046 1CO 016 012 As concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time. 046 1CO 016 013 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, acquit yourselves like men, be strong. 046 1CO 016 014 Let all your things be done with charity. 046 1CO 016 015 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints, ) 046 1CO 016 016 That ye submit yourselves to such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. 046 1CO 016 017 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 046 1CO 016 018 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. 046 1CO 016 019 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 046 1CO 016 020 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. 046 1CO 016 021 The salutation of me Paul with my own hand. 046 1CO 016 022 If any man loveth not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. 046 1CO 016 023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 046 1CO 016 024 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. he first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timothy. # # BOOK 047 2CO 2 Corinthians 2 Corinthians 047 2CO 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: 047 2CO 001 002 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 047 2CO 001 003 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 047 2CO 001 004 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 047 2CO 001 005 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 047 2CO 001 006 And whether we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 047 2CO 001 007 And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 047 2CO 001 008 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life: 047 2CO 001 009 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead: 047 2CO 001 010 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 047 2CO 001 011 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 047 2CO 001 012 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you. 047 2CO 001 013 For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 047 2CO 001 014 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. 047 2CO 001 015 And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that ye might have a second benefit; 047 2CO 001 016 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you, and by you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. 047 2CO 001 017 When I therefore was thus minded, did I do it lightly? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 047 2CO 001 018 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 047 2CO 001 019 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 047 2CO 001 020 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us. 047 2CO 001 021 Now he who establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 047 2CO 001 022 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 047 2CO 001 023 Moreover I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I have not as yet come to Corinth. 047 2CO 001 024 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 047 2CO 002 001 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 047 2CO 002 002 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me? 047 2CO 002 003 And I wrote this same to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them by whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 047 2CO 002 004 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly to you. 047 2CO 002 005 But if any hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not burden you all. 047 2CO 002 006 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted by many. 047 2CO 002 007 So that on the contrary ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such an one should be swallowed up with too much sorrow. 047 2CO 002 008 Therefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. 047 2CO 002 009 For to this end also I wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. 047 2CO 002 010 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ; 047 2CO 002 011 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 047 2CO 002 012 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, 047 2CO 002 013 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia. 047 2CO 002 014 Now thanks be to God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 047 2CO 002 015 For we are to God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 047 2CO 002 016 To the one we are the savour of death to death; and to the other the savour of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 047 2CO 002 017 For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of God: but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. 047 2CO 003 001 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 047 2CO 003 002 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men: 047 2CO 003 003 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tables of stone, but on fleshly tables of the heart. 047 2CO 003 004 And such trust we have through Christ toward God: 047 2CO 003 005 Not that we are sufficient by ourselves to think any thing as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; 047 2CO 003 006 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 047 2CO 003 007 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 047 2CO 003 008 How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious? 047 2CO 003 009 For if the ministration of condemnation was glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 047 2CO 003 010 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 047 2CO 003 011 For if that which was done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 047 2CO 003 012 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 047 2CO 003 013 And not as Moses, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 047 2CO 003 014 But their minds were blinded: for until this day the same veil remaineth untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. 047 2CO 003 015 But even to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 047 2CO 003 016 Nevertheless when one shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. 047 2CO 003 017 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 047 2CO 003 018 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 047 2CO 004 001 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 047 2CO 004 002 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 047 2CO 004 003 But if our gospel is hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 047 2CO 004 004 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. (aiōn g165) 047 2CO 004 005 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 047 2CO 004 006 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shone into our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 047 2CO 004 007 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not from us. 047 2CO 004 008 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 047 2CO 004 009 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 047 2CO 004 010 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body. 047 2CO 004 011 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 047 2CO 004 012 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 047 2CO 004 013 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 047 2CO 004 014 Knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 047 2CO 004 015 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace may through the thanksgiving of many abound to the glory of God. 047 2CO 004 016 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 047 2CO 004 017 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166) 047 2CO 004 018 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166) 047 2CO 005 001 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166) 047 2CO 005 002 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our house which is from heaven: 047 2CO 005 003 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 047 2CO 005 004 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not because we would be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. 047 2CO 005 005 Now he that hath wrought us for this very thing is God, who also hath given to us the earnest of the Spirit. 047 2CO 005 006 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 047 2CO 005 007 ( For we walk by faith, not by sight: ) 047 2CO 005 008 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 047 2CO 005 009 Therefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted by him. 047 2CO 005 010 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he hath done, whether good or bad. 047 2CO 005 011 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 047 2CO 005 012 For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them who glory in appearance, and not in heart. 047 2CO 005 013 For whether we are beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we are of sound mind, it is for your cause. 047 2CO 005 014 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 047 2CO 005 015 And that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again. 047 2CO 005 016 Therefore henceforth we know no man according to the flesh: though indeed, we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know him no more. 047 2CO 005 017 Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 047 2CO 005 018 And all things are from God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 047 2CO 005 019 That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation. 047 2CO 005 020 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 047 2CO 005 021 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 047 2CO 006 001 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 047 2CO 006 002 ( For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 047 2CO 006 003 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 047 2CO 006 004 But in all things commending ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 047 2CO 006 005 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 047 2CO 006 006 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, 047 2CO 006 007 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 047 2CO 006 008 By honour and dishonour, by bad report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 047 2CO 006 009 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 047 2CO 006 010 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 047 2CO 006 011 O ye Corinthians, We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 047 2CO 006 012 Ye are not restrained by us, but ye are restrained by your own affections. 047 2CO 006 013 Now in return for the same, (I speak as to my children, ) open wide your hearts to us. 047 2CO 006 014 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 047 2CO 006 015 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 047 2CO 006 016 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 047 2CO 006 017 Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 047 2CO 006 018 And I will be a Father to you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 047 2CO 007 001 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 047 2CO 007 002 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 047 2CO 007 003 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. 047 2CO 007 004 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying concerning you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 047 2CO 007 005 For, when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. 047 2CO 007 006 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 047 2CO 007 007 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 047 2CO 007 008 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it was but for a season. 047 2CO 007 009 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might suffer loss through us in nothing. 047 2CO 007 010 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 047 2CO 007 011 For behold this very same thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what diligence it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what avenging of wrong! In all things ye have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 047 2CO 007 012 Therefore, though I wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you. 047 2CO 007 013 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: and exceedingly the more we rejoiced for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 047 2CO 007 014 For if I have boasted any thing to him concerning you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found to be true. 047 2CO 007 015 And his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 047 2CO 007 016 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things. 047 2CO 008 001 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 047 2CO 008 002 That in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality. 047 2CO 008 003 For to their power, I bear witness, and even beyond their power they were willing of themselves; 047 2CO 008 004 Begging us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 047 2CO 008 005 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. 047 2CO 008 006 So that we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 047 2CO 008 007 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 047 2CO 008 008 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the diligence of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. 047 2CO 008 009 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 047 2CO 008 010 And in this I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago. 047 2CO 008 011 Now therefore finish the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. 047 2CO 008 012 For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, and not according to what he hath not. 047 2CO 008 013 For I mean not that other men should be eased, and you burdened: 047 2CO 008 014 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: 047 2CO 008 015 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no want. 047 2CO 008 016 But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. 047 2CO 008 017 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more diligent, of his own accord he went to you. 047 2CO 008 018 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches; 047 2CO 008 019 And not that only, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and to show our ready mind: 047 2CO 008 020 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us: 047 2CO 008 021 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 047 2CO 008 022 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved to be diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you. 047 2CO 008 023 If any do enquire concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ. 047 2CO 008 024 Therefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf. 047 2CO 009 001 For as concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: 047 2CO 009 002 For I know the readiness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath stirred up very many. 047 2CO 009 003 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: 047 2CO 009 004 Lest if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we ( that we say not, ye ) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. 047 2CO 009 005 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before to you, and make up beforehand your bounty, of which ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not of covetousness. 047 2CO 009 006 But this I say, He who soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he who soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 047 2CO 009 007 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or by necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 047 2CO 009 008 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 047 2CO 009 009 ( As it is written, He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165) 047 2CO 009 010 Now may he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; ) 047 2CO 009 011 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 047 2CO 009 012 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings to God; 047 2CO 009 013 While by the proof of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution to them, and to all men; 047 2CO 009 014 And by their prayer for you, who long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 047 2CO 009 015 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. 047 2CO 010 001 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: 047 2CO 010 002 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 047 2CO 010 003 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh: 047 2CO 010 004 ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; ) 047 2CO 010 005 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 047 2CO 010 006 And having in a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 047 2CO 010 007 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusteth to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s. 047 2CO 010 008 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 047 2CO 010 009 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. 047 2CO 010 010 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. 047 2CO 010 011 Let such a person think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present. 047 2CO 010 012 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 047 2CO 010 013 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you. 047 2CO 010 014 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: 047 2CO 010 015 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, 047 2CO 010 016 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand. 047 2CO 010 017 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 047 2CO 010 018 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. 047 2CO 011 001 O that ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 047 2CO 011 002 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 047 2CO 011 003 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 047 2CO 011 004 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 047 2CO 011 005 For I suppose I was not a bit behind the very greatest apostles. 047 2CO 011 006 But though I am rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made evident among you in all things. 047 2CO 011 007 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God without charge? 047 2CO 011 008 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. 047 2CO 011 009 And when I was present with you, and in need, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so will I keep myself. 047 2CO 011 010 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 047 2CO 011 011 Why? because I love you not? God knoweth. 047 2CO 011 012 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that in what they glory, they may be found even as we. 047 2CO 011 013 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 047 2CO 011 014 And no wonder; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 047 2CO 011 015 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 047 2CO 011 016 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little. 047 2CO 011 017 That which I speak, I speak it not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 047 2CO 011 018 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 047 2CO 011 019 For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 047 2CO 011 020 For ye bear with it, if a man bringeth you into bondage, if a man devoureth you, if a man taketh from you, if a man exalteth himself, if a man smiteth you on the face. 047 2CO 011 021 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. But in whatever respect any is bold, (I speak foolishly, ) I am bold also. 047 2CO 011 022 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. 047 2CO 011 023 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool ) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often. 047 2CO 011 024 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes less one. 047 2CO 011 025 Three times was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 047 2CO 011 026 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 047 2CO 011 027 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 047 2CO 011 028 Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 047 2CO 011 029 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is led into sin, and I am not incensed? 047 2CO 011 030 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern my infirmities. 047 2CO 011 031 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165) 047 2CO 011 032 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: 047 2CO 011 033 And through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 047 2CO 012 001 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 047 2CO 012 002 I knew a man in Christ fourteen years ago, ( whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; ) such one caught up to the third heaven. 047 2CO 012 003 And I knew such a man, ( whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; ) 047 2CO 012 004 How he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 047 2CO 012 005 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in my infirmities. 047 2CO 012 006 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me. 047 2CO 012 007 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 047 2CO 012 008 For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me. 047 2CO 012 009 And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 047 2CO 012 010 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 047 2CO 012 011 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you: for in nothing am I behind the very greatest apostles, though I am nothing. 047 2CO 012 012 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. 047 2CO 012 013 For what is it in which ye were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. 047 2CO 012 014 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 047 2CO 012 015 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved. 047 2CO 012 016 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 047 2CO 012 017 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent to you? 047 2CO 012 018 I urged Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? 047 2CO 012 019 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edification. 047 2CO 012 020 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults: 047 2CO 012 021 And lest, when I come again, my God may humble me among you, and I shall bewail many who have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and immorality and lasciviousness which they have committed. 047 2CO 013 001 This is the third time I am coming to you. By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 047 2CO 013 002 I told you before, and foretell, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them who have sinned before, and to all others, that, if I come again, I will not spare: 047 2CO 013 003 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who toward you is not weak, but is mighty in you. 047 2CO 013 004 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. 047 2CO 013 005 Examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; test your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye are disqualified? 047 2CO 013 006 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not disqualified. 047 2CO 013 007 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we may seem disqualified. 047 2CO 013 008 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 047 2CO 013 009 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. 047 2CO 013 010 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. 047 2CO 013 011 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 047 2CO 013 012 Greet one another with an holy kiss. 047 2CO 013 013 All the saints greet you. 047 2CO 013 014 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, ''a city'' of Macedonia, by Titus and Luke. # # BOOK 048 GAL Galatians Galatians 048 GAL 001 001 Paul, an apostle, ( not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; ) 048 GAL 001 002 And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia: 048 GAL 001 003 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 048 GAL 001 004 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165) 048 GAL 001 005 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 048 GAL 001 006 I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel: 048 GAL 001 007 Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 048 GAL 001 008 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 048 GAL 001 009 As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 048 GAL 001 010 For do I now seek the favour of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 048 GAL 001 011 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 048 GAL 001 012 For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 048 GAL 001 013 For ye have heard of my former manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 048 GAL 001 014 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 048 GAL 001 015 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 048 GAL 001 016 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 048 GAL 001 017 Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. 048 GAL 001 018 Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 048 GAL 001 019 But I saw no other of the apostles, except James the Lord’s brother. 048 GAL 001 020 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not. 048 GAL 001 021 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; 048 GAL 001 022 And was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: 048 GAL 001 023 But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 048 GAL 001 024 And they glorified God in me. 048 GAL 002 001 Then fourteen years after I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. 048 GAL 002 002 And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. 048 GAL 002 003 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 048 GAL 002 004 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 048 GAL 002 005 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. 048 GAL 002 006 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, ( whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: 048 GAL 002 007 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter; 048 GAL 002 008 ( For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: ) 048 GAL 002 009 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision. 048 GAL 002 010 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was diligent to do. 048 GAL 002 011 But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 048 GAL 002 012 For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision. 048 GAL 002 013 And the other Jews likewise were hypocrites with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy. 048 GAL 002 014 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 048 GAL 002 015 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 048 GAL 002 016 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 048 GAL 002 017 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means. 048 GAL 002 018 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 048 GAL 002 019 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God. 048 GAL 002 020 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 048 GAL 002 021 I do not set aside the grace of God: for if righteousness is gained by the law, then Christ hath died in vain. 048 GAL 003 001 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been clearly set forth, crucified among you? 048 GAL 003 002 This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 048 GAL 003 003 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 048 GAL 003 004 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it is yet in vain. 048 GAL 003 005 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he this by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 048 GAL 003 006 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 048 GAL 003 007 Know ye therefore that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 048 GAL 003 008 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 048 GAL 003 009 So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 048 GAL 003 010 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 048 GAL 003 011 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 048 GAL 003 012 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live by them. 048 GAL 003 013 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 048 GAL 003 014 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 048 GAL 003 015 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it is but a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man setteth it aside, or addeth to it. 048 GAL 003 016 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 048 GAL 003 017 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot set it aside, that it should make the promise of no effect. 048 GAL 003 018 For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no more by promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 048 GAL 003 019 What purpose then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 048 GAL 003 020 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 048 GAL 003 021 Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 048 GAL 003 022 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 048 GAL 003 023 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 048 GAL 003 024 Therefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 048 GAL 003 025 But after faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 048 GAL 003 026 For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 048 GAL 003 027 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 048 GAL 003 028 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 048 GAL 003 029 And if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 048 GAL 004 001 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he is lord of all; 048 GAL 004 002 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father. 048 GAL 004 003 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 048 GAL 004 004 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 048 GAL 004 005 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 048 GAL 004 006 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 048 GAL 004 007 Therefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 048 GAL 004 008 However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods. 048 GAL 004 009 But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage? 048 GAL 004 010 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 048 GAL 004 011 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 048 GAL 004 012 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 048 GAL 004 013 Ye know that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first. 048 GAL 004 014 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 048 GAL 004 015 What then was the blessedness ye spoke of? for I bear you witness, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 048 GAL 004 016 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 048 GAL 004 017 They zealously seek you, but not for good; for, they would exclude you, that ye may seek them. 048 GAL 004 018 But it is good to be zealously sought always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. 048 GAL 004 019 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 048 GAL 004 020 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I stand in doubt of you. 048 GAL 004 021 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 048 GAL 004 022 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 048 GAL 004 023 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 048 GAL 004 024 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which beareth children for bondage, which is Hagar. 048 GAL 004 025 For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 048 GAL 004 026 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 048 GAL 004 027 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she who hath an husband. 048 GAL 004 028 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 048 GAL 004 029 But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 048 GAL 004 030 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 048 GAL 004 031 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. 048 GAL 005 001 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 048 GAL 005 002 Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 048 GAL 005 003 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 048 GAL 005 004 Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace. 048 GAL 005 005 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 048 GAL 005 006 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 048 GAL 005 007 Ye did run well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth? 048 GAL 005 008 This persuasion cometh not from him that calleth you. 048 GAL 005 009 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 048 GAL 005 010 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be not otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be. 048 GAL 005 011 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offence of the cross ceased. 048 GAL 005 012 I would they were even cut off who trouble you. 048 GAL 005 013 For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 048 GAL 005 014 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 048 GAL 005 015 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another. 048 GAL 005 016 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 048 GAL 005 017 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 048 GAL 005 018 But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 048 GAL 005 019 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 048 GAL 005 020 Idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, wrath, contention, seditions, heresies, 048 GAL 005 021 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 048 GAL 005 022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 048 GAL 005 023 Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law. 048 GAL 005 024 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 048 GAL 005 025 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 048 GAL 005 026 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. 048 GAL 006 001 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 048 GAL 006 002 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 048 GAL 006 003 For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 048 GAL 006 004 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 048 GAL 006 005 For every man shall bear his own burden. 048 GAL 006 006 Let him that is taught in the word share with him that teacheth in all good things. 048 GAL 006 007 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 048 GAL 006 008 For he that soweth to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. (aiōnios g166) 048 GAL 006 009 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 048 GAL 006 010 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith. 048 GAL 006 011 Ye see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand. 048 GAL 006 012 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 048 GAL 006 013 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 048 GAL 006 014 But may it never be that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. 048 GAL 006 015 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 048 GAL 006 016 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 048 GAL 006 017 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 048 GAL 006 018 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. To the Galatians written from Rome. # # BOOK 049 EPH Ephesians Ephesians 049 EPH 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 049 EPH 001 002 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 049 EPH 001 003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 049 EPH 001 004 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 049 EPH 001 005 Having predestinated us to the adoption of children to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 049 EPH 001 006 To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 049 EPH 001 007 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 049 EPH 001 008 In which he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 049 EPH 001 009 Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 049 EPH 001 010 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 049 EPH 001 011 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 049 EPH 001 012 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 049 EPH 001 013 In whom ye also trusted, after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, 049 EPH 001 014 Who is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory. 049 EPH 001 015 Therefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the saints, 049 EPH 001 016 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 049 EPH 001 017 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 049 EPH 001 018 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 049 EPH 001 019 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 049 EPH 001 020 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 049 EPH 001 021 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 001 022 And put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 049 EPH 001 023 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. 049 EPH 002 001 And you hath he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 049 EPH 002 002 In which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 002 003 Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 049 EPH 002 004 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 049 EPH 002 005 Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; ) 049 EPH 002 006 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 049 EPH 002 007 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 002 008 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 049 EPH 002 009 Not by works, lest any man should boast. 049 EPH 002 010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 049 EPH 002 011 Therefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 049 EPH 002 012 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 049 EPH 002 013 But now in Christ Jesus ye who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ. 049 EPH 002 014 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 049 EPH 002 015 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace; 049 EPH 002 016 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by himself slain the enmity: 049 EPH 002 017 And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were near. 049 EPH 002 018 For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father. 049 EPH 002 019 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and aliens, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 049 EPH 002 020 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 049 EPH 002 021 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth to an holy temple in the Lord: 049 EPH 002 022 In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 049 EPH 003 001 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 049 EPH 003 002 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me on your account: 049 EPH 003 003 That by revelation he made known to me the mystery; ( as I wrote before in few words, 049 EPH 003 004 By which, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ ) 049 EPH 003 005 Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 049 EPH 003 006 That the Gentiles should be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 049 EPH 003 007 Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power. 049 EPH 003 008 To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 049 EPH 003 009 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 003 010 To the intent that now to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 049 EPH 003 011 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 003 012 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 049 EPH 003 013 Therefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 049 EPH 003 014 For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 049 EPH 003 015 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 049 EPH 003 016 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 049 EPH 003 017 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 049 EPH 003 018 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 049 EPH 003 019 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God. 049 EPH 003 020 Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 049 EPH 003 021 To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 004 001 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation by which ye are called, 049 EPH 004 002 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 049 EPH 004 003 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 049 EPH 004 004 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 049 EPH 004 005 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 049 EPH 004 006 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 049 EPH 004 007 But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 049 EPH 004 008 Therefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. 049 EPH 004 009 ( Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 049 EPH 004 010 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 049 EPH 004 011 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 049 EPH 004 012 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 049 EPH 004 013 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 049 EPH 004 014 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive; 049 EPH 004 015 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ: 049 EPH 004 016 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love. 049 EPH 004 017 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 049 EPH 004 018 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 049 EPH 004 019 Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 049 EPH 004 020 But ye have not so learned Christ; 049 EPH 004 021 If indeed ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 049 EPH 004 022 That ye put off concerning the former manner of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 049 EPH 004 023 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 049 EPH 004 024 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 049 EPH 004 025 Therefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 049 EPH 004 026 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 049 EPH 004 027 Neither give place to the devil. 049 EPH 004 028 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 049 EPH 004 029 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers. 049 EPH 004 030 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed to the day of redemption. 049 EPH 004 031 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 049 EPH 004 032 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. 049 EPH 005 001 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 049 EPH 005 002 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 049 EPH 005 003 But immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 049 EPH 005 004 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks. 049 EPH 005 005 For this ye know, that no immoral, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 049 EPH 005 006 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 049 EPH 005 007 Be ye not therefore partakers with them. 049 EPH 005 008 For ye were once darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 049 EPH 005 009 ( For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; ) 049 EPH 005 010 Proving what is acceptable to the Lord. 049 EPH 005 011 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 049 EPH 005 012 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 049 EPH 005 013 But all things that are reproved are made visible by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light. 049 EPH 005 014 Therefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 049 EPH 005 015 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 049 EPH 005 016 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 049 EPH 005 017 Therefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 049 EPH 005 018 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 049 EPH 005 019 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 049 EPH 005 020 Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 049 EPH 005 021 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 049 EPH 005 022 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 049 EPH 005 023 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 049 EPH 005 024 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 049 EPH 005 025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 049 EPH 005 026 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 049 EPH 005 027 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 049 EPH 005 028 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 049 EPH 005 029 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 049 EPH 005 030 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 049 EPH 005 031 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 049 EPH 005 032 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 049 EPH 005 033 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. 049 EPH 006 001 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 049 EPH 006 002 Honour thy father and mother; ( which is the first commandment with promise; ) 049 EPH 006 003 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 049 EPH 006 004 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 049 EPH 006 005 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ; 049 EPH 006 006 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 049 EPH 006 007 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 049 EPH 006 008 Knowing that whatever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 049 EPH 006 009 And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. 049 EPH 006 010 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 049 EPH 006 011 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 049 EPH 006 012 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 006 013 Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 049 EPH 006 014 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 049 EPH 006 015 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 049 EPH 006 016 Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to put out all the fiery darts of the wicked. 049 EPH 006 017 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 049 EPH 006 018 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching for this purpose with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 049 EPH 006 019 And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 049 EPH 006 020 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 049 EPH 006 021 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: 049 EPH 006 022 Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that ye may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts. 049 EPH 006 023 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 049 EPH 006 024 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus. # # BOOK 050 PHI Philippians Philippians 050 PHI 001 001 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 050 PHI 001 002 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 050 PHI 001 003 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 050 PHI 001 004 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 050 PHI 001 005 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 050 PHI 001 006 Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 050 PHI 001 007 Even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. 050 PHI 001 008 For God is my witness, how greatly I long after you all in the affection of Jesus Christ. 050 PHI 001 009 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 050 PHI 001 010 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 050 PHI 001 011 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 050 PHI 001 012 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel; 050 PHI 001 013 So that my bonds in Christ are known in all the palace, and in all other places; 050 PHI 001 014 And many of the brethren in the Lord, being more confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 050 PHI 001 015 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good will: 050 PHI 001 016 The one preach Christ from contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 050 PHI 001 017 But the other from love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 050 PHI 001 018 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I in this do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 050 PHI 001 019 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 050 PHI 001 020 According to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. 050 PHI 001 021 For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 050 PHI 001 022 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I know not. 050 PHI 001 023 For I am in a strait between the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 050 PHI 001 024 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 050 PHI 001 025 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 050 PHI 001 026 That your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again. 050 PHI 001 027 Only let your conduct be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 050 PHI 001 028 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. 050 PHI 001 029 For to you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 050 PHI 001 030 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 050 PHI 002 001 If there is therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 050 PHI 002 002 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 050 PHI 002 003 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. 050 PHI 002 004 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 050 PHI 002 005 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 050 PHI 002 006 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 050 PHI 002 007 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 050 PHI 002 008 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross. 050 PHI 002 009 Therefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 050 PHI 002 010 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth; 050 PHI 002 011 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 050 PHI 002 012 Therefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 050 PHI 002 013 For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 050 PHI 002 014 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 050 PHI 002 015 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 050 PHI 002 016 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 050 PHI 002 017 Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 050 PHI 002 018 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. 050 PHI 002 019 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. 050 PHI 002 020 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 050 PHI 002 021 For all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. 050 PHI 002 022 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. 050 PHI 002 023 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 050 PHI 002 024 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. 050 PHI 002 025 Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. 050 PHI 002 026 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because ye had heard that he was sick. 050 PHI 002 027 For indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 050 PHI 002 028 I sent him therefore the more eagerly, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. 050 PHI 002 029 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 050 PHI 002 030 Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service toward me. 050 PHI 003 001 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tedious, but for you it is safe. 050 PHI 003 002 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the false circumcision. 050 PHI 003 003 For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 050 PHI 003 004 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more: 050 PHI 003 005 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee; 050 PHI 003 006 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless. 050 PHI 003 007 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 050 PHI 003 008 Yea doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ, 050 PHI 003 009 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith: 050 PHI 003 010 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death; 050 PHI 003 011 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead. 050 PHI 003 012 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I press on, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 003 013 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before, 050 PHI 003 014 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 003 015 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you. 050 PHI 003 016 Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 050 PHI 003 017 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk even as ye have us for an example. 050 PHI 003 018 ( 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: 050 PHI 003 019 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 050 PHI 003 020 For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 050 PHI 003 021 Who shall change our lowly body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself. 050 PHI 004 001 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 050 PHI 004 002 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 050 PHI 004 003 And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women who laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 050 PHI 004 004 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 050 PHI 004 005 Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 050 PHI 004 006 Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 050 PHI 004 007 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 004 008 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things. 050 PHI 004 009 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 050 PHI 004 010 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; in which ye were also concerned, but ye lacked opportunity. 050 PHI 004 011 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, with that to be content. 050 PHI 004 012 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 050 PHI 004 013 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. 050 PHI 004 014 However ye have done well, that ye did share with my affliction. 050 PHI 004 015 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 050 PHI 004 016 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to my necessity. 050 PHI 004 017 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 050 PHI 004 018 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 050 PHI 004 019 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 004 020 Now to God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 050 PHI 004 021 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. 050 PHI 004 022 All the saints greet you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household. 050 PHI 004 023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

051 COL 001 006 Which is come to you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 051 COL 001 007 As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 051 COL 001 008 Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 051 COL 001 009 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 051 COL 001 010 That ye may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 051 COL 001 011 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 051 COL 001 012 Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 051 COL 001 013 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son: 051 COL 001 014 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 051 COL 001 015 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: 051 COL 001 016 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 051 COL 001 017 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 051 COL 001 018 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may have the preeminence. 051 COL 001 019 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 051 COL 001 020 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven. 051 COL 001 021 And you, that were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 051 COL 001 022 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 051 COL 001 023 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister; 051 COL 001 024 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: 051 COL 001 025 Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 051 COL 001 026 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is revealed to his saints: (aiōn g165) 051 COL 001 027 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 051 COL 001 028 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 051 COL 001 029 For which I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 051 COL 002 001 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 051 COL 002 002 That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 051 COL 002 003 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 051 COL 002 004 And this I say, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words. 051 COL 002 005 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. 051 COL 002 006 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 051 COL 002 007 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. 051 COL 002 008 Beware lest any man make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 051 COL 002 009 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 051 COL 002 010 And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power: 051 COL 002 011 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 051 COL 002 012 Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 051 COL 002 013 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 051 COL 002 014 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 051 COL 002 015 And having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 051 COL 002 016 Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths: 051 COL 002 017 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 051 COL 002 018 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 051 COL 002 019 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 051 COL 002 020 Therefore if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 051 COL 002 021 ( Touch not; taste not; handle not; 051 COL 002 022 Which all are to perish with the using; ) according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 051 COL 002 023 These things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. 051 COL 003 001 If ye then were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 051 COL 003 002 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 051 COL 003 003 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 051 COL 003 004 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 051 COL 003 005 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; immorality, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 051 COL 003 006 For which things’ the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 051 COL 003 007 In which ye also walked once, when ye lived with them. 051 COL 003 008 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 051 COL 003 009 Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 051 COL 003 010 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 051 COL 003 011 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 051 COL 003 012 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 052 1TH 002 020 For ye are our glory and joy. 052 1TH 003 001 Therefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; 052 1TH 003 002 And sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: 052 1TH 003 003 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to this. 052 1TH 003 004 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know. 052 1TH 003 005 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. 052 1TH 003 006 But now when Timothy came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: 052 1TH 003 007 Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress: 052 1TH 003 008 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 052 1TH 003 009 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God; 052 1TH 003 010 Night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 052 1TH 003 011 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. 052 1TH 003 012 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 052 1TH 003 013 To the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 052 1TH 004 001 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 052 1TH 004 002 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 052 1TH 004 003 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from immorality: 052 1TH 004 004 That each one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 052 1TH 004 005 Not in the lust of passion, even as the Gentiles who know not God: 052 1TH 004 006 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 052 1TH 004 007 For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness. 052 1TH 004 008 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given to us his Holy Spirit. 052 1TH 004 009 But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another. 052 1TH 004 010 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; 052 1TH 004 011 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 052 1TH 004 012 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are outside the church, and that ye may have need of nothing. 052 1TH 004 013 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope. 052 1TH 004 014 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 052 1TH 004 015 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep. 052 1TH 004 016 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 052 1TH 004 017 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 052 1TH 004 018 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 052 1TH 005 001 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write to you. 052 1TH 005 002 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 052 1TH 005 003 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 052 1TH 005 004 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 052 1TH 005 005 Ye are all children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 052 1TH 005 006 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober minded. 052 1TH 005 007 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that get drunk are drunk in the night. 052 1TH 005 008 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 052 1TH 005 009 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 052 1TH 005 010 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 052 1TH 005 011 Therefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 052 1TH 005 012 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 052 1TH 005 013 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 052 1TH 005 014 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 052 1TH 005 015 See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 052 1TH 005 016 Rejoice evermore. 052 1TH 005 017 Pray without ceasing. 052 1TH 005 018 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 052 1TH 005 019 Quench not the Spirit. 052 1TH 005 020 Despise not prophesyings. 052 1TH 005 021 Examine all things; hold fast that which is good. 052 1TH 005 022 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 052 1TH 005 023 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 052 1TH 005 024 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 052 1TH 005 025 Brethren, pray for us. 052 1TH 005 026 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 052 1TH 005 027 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 052 1TH 005 028 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens. # # BOOK 053 2TH 2 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 053 2TH 001 001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 053 2TH 001 002 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 053 2TH 001 003 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is befitting, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of each one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 053 2TH 001 004 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 053 2TH 001 005 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 053 2TH 001 006 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 053 2TH 001 007 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 053 2TH 001 008 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 053 2TH 001 009 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (aiōnios g166) 053 2TH 001 010 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all them that believe because our testimony among ( you was believed ) in that day. 053 2TH 001 011 Therefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 053 2TH 001 012 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. 053 2TH 002 001 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together to him, 053 2TH 002 002 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ has come. 053 2TH 002 003 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 053 2TH 002 004 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 053 2TH 002 005 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 053 2TH 002 006 And now ye know what restraineth that he might be revealed in his time. 053 2TH 002 007 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now restraineth will do so, until he be taken out of the way. 053 2TH 002 008 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 053 2TH 002 009 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 053 2TH 002 010 And with all deception of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 053 2TH 002 011 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 053 2TH 002 012 That they all may be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 053 2TH 002 013 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 053 2TH 002 014 To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 053 2TH 002 015 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 053 2TH 002 016 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166) 053 2TH 002 017 Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work. 053 2TH 003 001 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 053 2TH 003 002 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 053 2TH 003 003 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil. 053 2TH 003 004 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 053 2TH 003 005 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 053 2TH 003 006 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received from us. 053 2TH 003 007 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 053 2TH 003 008 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing; but wrought with labour and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 053 2TH 003 009 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example to you to follow us. 053 2TH 003 010 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 053 2TH 003 011 For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 053 2TH 003 012 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 053 2TH 003 013 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 053 2TH 003 014 And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 053 2TH 003 015 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 053 2TH 003 016 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 053 2TH 003 017 The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. 053 2TH 003 018 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens. # # BOOK 054 1TI 1 Timothy 1 Timothy 054 1TI 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is our hope; 054 1TI 001 002 To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 054 1TI 001 003 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 054 1TI 001 004 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 054 1TI 001 005 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of a sincere faith: 054 1TI 001 006 From which some having swerved have turned aside to vain talking; 054 1TI 001 007 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm. 054 1TI 001 008 But we know that the law is good, if a man useth it lawfully; 054 1TI 001 009 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 054 1TI 001 010 For immoral men, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 054 1TI 001 011 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 054 1TI 001 012 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 054 1TI 001 013 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insolent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 054 1TI 001 014 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 054 1TI 001 015 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 054 1TI 001 016 However for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 001 017 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 054 1TI 001 018 This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies made before concerning thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare; 054 1TI 001 019 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 054 1TI 001 020 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 054 1TI 002 001 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 054 1TI 002 002 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 054 1TI 002 003 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 054 1TI 002 004 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 054 1TI 002 005 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 054 1TI 002 006 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 054 1TI 002 007 For which I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not; ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 054 1TI 002 008 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 054 1TI 002 009 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with reverence and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 054 1TI 002 010 But ( which becometh women professing godliness ) with good works. 054 1TI 002 011 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 054 1TI 002 012 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 054 1TI 002 013 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 054 1TI 002 014 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 054 1TI 002 015 However she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 054 1TI 003 001 This is a true saying, If a man desireth the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 054 1TI 003 002 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober minded, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 054 1TI 003 003 Not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 054 1TI 003 004 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 054 1TI 003 005 ( For if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 054 1TI 003 006 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 054 1TI 003 007 Moreover he must have a good report of them who are outside the church; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 054 1TI 003 008 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money; 054 1TI 003 009 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 054 1TI 003 010 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 054 1TI 003 011 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober minded, faithful in all things. 054 1TI 003 012 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 054 1TI 003 013 For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 054 1TI 003 014 These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee shortly: 054 1TI 003 015 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 054 1TI 003 016 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 054 1TI 004 001 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons; 054 1TI 004 002 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 054 1TI 004 003 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth. 054 1TI 004 004 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving: 054 1TI 004 005 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 054 1TI 004 006 If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained. 054 1TI 004 007 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather to godliness. 054 1TI 004 008 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 054 1TI 004 009 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 054 1TI 004 010 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe. 054 1TI 004 011 These things command and teach. 054 1TI 004 012 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 054 1TI 004 013 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 054 1TI 004 014 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 054 1TI 004 015 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 054 1TI 004 016 Take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 054 1TI 005 001 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; 054 1TI 005 002 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 054 1TI 005 003 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 054 1TI 005 004 But if any widow hath children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to repay their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 054 1TI 005 005 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 054 1TI 005 006 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 054 1TI 005 007 And these things command, that they may be blameless. 054 1TI 005 008 But if any provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 054 1TI 005 009 Let not a widow be taken into the number under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, 054 1TI 005 010 Well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath lodged strangers, if she hath washed the saints’ feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work. 054 1TI 005 011 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they will marry; 054 1TI 005 012 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 054 1TI 005 013 And at the same time they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 054 1TI 005 014 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 054 1TI 005 015 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 054 1TI 005 016 If any man or woman that believeth hath widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 054 1TI 005 017 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 054 1TI 005 018 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the grain. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 054 1TI 005 019 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 054 1TI 005 020 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 054 1TI 005 021 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 054 1TI 005 022 Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. 054 1TI 005 023 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thy frequent infirmities. 054 1TI 005 024 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. 054 1TI 005 025 Likewise also the good works of some are clearly evident beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. 054 1TI 006 001 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed. 054 1TI 006 002 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 054 1TI 006 003 If any man teacheth otherwise, and agreeth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness; 054 1TI 006 004 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions, 054 1TI 006 005 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 054 1TI 006 006 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 054 1TI 006 007 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 054 1TI 006 008 And having food and raiment with these let us be content. 054 1TI 006 009 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 054 1TI 006 010 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 054 1TI 006 011 But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 054 1TI 006 012 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 006 013 I command thee in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 054 1TI 006 014 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 054 1TI 006 015 Who in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 054 1TI 006 016 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 006 017 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165) 054 1TI 006 018 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to share; 054 1TI 006 019 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 006 020 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 054 1TI 006 021 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana. # # BOOK 055 2TI 2 Timothy 2 Timothy 055 2TI 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 055 2TI 001 002 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 055 2TI 001 003 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 055 2TI 001 004 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 055 2TI 001 005 When I call to remembrance the sincere faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that is in thee also. 055 2TI 001 006 For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands. 055 2TI 001 007 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 055 2TI 001 008 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 055 2TI 001 009 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios g166) 055 2TI 001 010 But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 055 2TI 001 011 To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 055 2TI 001 012 For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him until that day. 055 2TI 001 013 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 055 2TI 001 014 That good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Spirit who dwelleth in us. 055 2TI 001 015 This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 055 2TI 001 016 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: 055 2TI 001 017 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. 055 2TI 001 018 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. 055 2TI 002 001 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 055 2TI 002 002 And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 055 2TI 002 003 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 055 2TI 002 004 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 055 2TI 002 005 And if a man also striveth for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he striveth lawfully. 055 2TI 002 006 The farmer that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 055 2TI 002 007 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 055 2TI 002 008 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 055 2TI 002 009 In which I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 055 2TI 002 010 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166) 055 2TI 002 011 It is a faithful saying: For if we are dead with him, we shall also live with him: 055 2TI 002 012 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 055 2TI 002 013 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 055 2TI 002 014 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 055 2TI 002 015 Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 055 2TI 002 016 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more ungodliness. 055 2TI 002 017 And their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 055 2TI 002 018 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 055 2TI 002 019 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 055 2TI 002 020 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 055 2TI 002 021 If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, and fit for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work. 055 2TI 002 022 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 055 2TI 002 023 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels. 055 2TI 002 024 And the servant of the Lord must not quarrel; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient, 055 2TI 002 025 In meekness instructing those that oppose him; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 055 2TI 002 026 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 055 2TI 003 001 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 055 2TI 003 002 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 055 2TI 003 003 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 055 2TI 003 004 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 055 2TI 003 005 Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such turn away. 055 2TI 003 006 For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with various lusts, 055 2TI 003 007 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 055 2TI 003 008 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, rejected as concerning the faith. 055 2TI 003 009 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was. 055 2TI 003 010 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 055 2TI 003 011 Persecutions, afflictions, which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 055 2TI 003 012 And, all indeed that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 055 2TI 003 013 But evil men and seducers shall become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 055 2TI 003 014 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them; 055 2TI 003 015 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 055 2TI 003 016 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 055 2TI 003 017 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works. 055 2TI 004 001 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 055 2TI 004 002 Preach the word; be diligent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 055 2TI 004 003 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap up to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 055 2TI 004 004 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables. 055 2TI 004 005 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 055 2TI 004 006 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 055 2TI 004 007 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 055 2TI 004 008 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing. 055 2TI 004 009 Do thy diligence to come shortly to me: 055 2TI 004 010 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165) 055 2TI 004 011 Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 055 2TI 004 012 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 055 2TI 004 013 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 055 2TI 004 014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 055 2TI 004 015 Of whom beware thou also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 055 2TI 004 016 At my first defence no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 055 2TI 004 017 However the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 055 2TI 004 018 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 055 2TI 004 019 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 055 2TI 004 020 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at Miletum sick. 055 2TI 004 021 Do thy diligence to come before winter.

The second epistle to Timothy, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time. # # BOOK 056 TIT Titus Titus 056 TIT 001 001 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness; 056 TIT 001 002 In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166) 056 TIT 001 003 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 056 TIT 001 004 To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 056 TIT 001 005 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 056 TIT 001 006 If any is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or rebellion. 056 TIT 001 007 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money; 056 TIT 001 008 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober minded, just, holy, temperate; 056 TIT 001 009 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convict those who contradict. 056 TIT 001 010 For there are many rebellious and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision: 056 TIT 001 011 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. 056 TIT 001 012 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons. 056 TIT 001 013 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 056 TIT 001 014 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 056 TIT 001 015 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 056 TIT 001 016 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work disqualified. 056 TIT 002 001 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 056 TIT 002 002 That the aged men be sober minded, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 056 TIT 002 003 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 056 TIT 002 004 That they may teach the young women to be sober minded, to love their husbands, to love their children, 056 TIT 002 005 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 056 TIT 002 006 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 056 TIT 002 007 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing integrity, gravity, sincerity, 056 TIT 002 008 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you. 056 TIT 002 009 Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 056 TIT 002 010 Not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 056 TIT 002 011 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 056 TIT 002 012 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165) 056 TIT 002 013 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 056 TIT 002 014 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself his own special people, zealous of good works. 056 TIT 002 015 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. 056 TIT 003 001 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 056 TIT 003 002 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness to all men. 056 TIT 003 003 For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 056 TIT 003 004 But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 056 TIT 003 005 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; 056 TIT 003 006 Whom he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 056 TIT 003 007 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 056 TIT 003 008 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. 056 TIT 003 009 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 056 TIT 003 010 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; 056 TIT 003 011 Knowing that he who is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by himself. 056 TIT 003 012 When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. 056 TIT 003 013 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them. 056 TIT 003 014 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful. 056 TIT 003 015 All that are with me greet thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia. # # BOOK 057 PHM Philemon Philemon 057 PHM 001 001 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 057 PHM 001 002 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: 057 PHM 001 003 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 057 PHM 001 004 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 057 PHM 001 005 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 057 PHM 001 006 That the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 057 PHM 001 007 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the hearts of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. 057 PHM 001 008 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command thee what is befitting, 057 PHM 001 009 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. 057 PHM 001 010 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 057 PHM 001 011 Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 057 PHM 001 012 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, my own heart: 057 PHM 001 013 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel: 057 PHM 001 014 But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 057 PHM 001 015 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166) 057 PHM 001 016 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 057 PHM 001 017 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 057 PHM 001 018 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee any thing, put that on my account; 057 PHM 001 019 I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides. 057 PHM 001 020 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in the Lord. 057 PHM 001 021 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. 057 PHM 001 022 But at the same time prepare for me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you. 057 PHM 001 023 There greet thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; 057 PHM 001 024 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellowlabourers. 057 PHM 001 025 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 058 HEB 001 006 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 058 HEB 001 007 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 058 HEB 001 008 But to the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 001 009 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions. 058 HEB 001 010 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thy hands: 058 HEB 001 011 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall become old as doth a garment; 058 HEB 001 012 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 058 HEB 001 013 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool? 058 HEB 001 014 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation? 058 HEB 002 001 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 058 HEB 002 002 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 058 HEB 002 003 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him; 058 HEB 002 004 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will? 058 HEB 002 005 For to the angels he hath not put in subjection the world to come, concerning which we speak. 058 HEB 002 006 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 058 HEB 002 007 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 058 HEB 002 008 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not made subject to him. But now we see not yet all things made subject to him. 058 HEB 002 009 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 058 HEB 002 010 For it was befitting for him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 058 HEB 002 011 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 058 HEB 002 012 Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee. 058 HEB 002 013 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 058 HEB 002 014 Since then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 058 HEB 002 015 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 058 HEB 002 016 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 058 HEB 002 017 Therefore in all things it behoved him to be made like his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 058 HEB 002 018 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted. 058 HEB 003 001 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 058 HEB 003 002 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 058 HEB 003 003 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house hath more honour than the house. 058 HEB 003 004 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God. 058 HEB 003 005 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 058 HEB 003 006 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. 058 HEB 003 007 Therefore ( as the Holy Spirit saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 058 HEB 003 008 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 058 HEB 003 009 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 058 HEB 003 010 Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 058 HEB 003 011 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 058 HEB 003 012 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 058 HEB 003 013 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 058 HEB 003 014 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end; 058 HEB 003 015 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 058 HEB 003 016 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: yet not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 058 HEB 003 017 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 058 HEB 003 018 And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 058 HEB 003 019 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 058 HEB 004 001 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 058 HEB 004 002 For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 058 HEB 004 003 For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 058 HEB 004 004 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works. 058 HEB 004 005 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 058 HEB 004 006 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief: 058 HEB 004 007 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 058 HEB 004 008 For if Joshua had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day. 058 HEB 004 009 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 058 HEB 004 010 For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 058 HEB 004 011 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 058 HEB 004 012 For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 058 HEB 004 013 Neither is there any creature that is hidden in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 058 HEB 004 014 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 058 HEB 004 015 For we have not an high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 058 HEB 004 016 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 058 HEB 005 001 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 058 HEB 005 002 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is beset with infirmity. 058 HEB 005 003 And by reason of it he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 058 HEB 005 004 And no man taketh this honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as was Aaron. 058 HEB 005 005 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 058 HEB 005 006 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 005 007 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 058 HEB 005 008 Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered; 058 HEB 005 009 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him; (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 005 010 Called by God an high priest after the order of Melchizedek. 058 HEB 005 011 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 058 HEB 005 012 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need of one to teach you again which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 058 HEB 005 013 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 058 HEB 005 014 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 058 HEB 006 001 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 058 HEB 006 002 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 006 003 And this will we do, if God permit. 058 HEB 006 004 For it is impossible for those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 058 HEB 006 005 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 006 006 If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 058 HEB 006 007 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs useful for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 058 HEB 006 008 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is close to being cursed; whose end is to be burned. 058 HEB 006 009 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. 058 HEB 006 010 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shown toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 058 HEB 006 011 And we desire each one of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end: 058 HEB 006 012 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 058 HEB 006 013 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, 058 HEB 006 014 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 058 HEB 006 015 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 058 HEB 006 016 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of every dispute. 058 HEB 006 017 In the same way God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 058 HEB 006 018 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 058 HEB 006 019 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and one which entereth into that within the veil; 058 HEB 006 020 Where the forerunner hath for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 001 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 058 HEB 007 002 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 058 HEB 007 003 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 058 HEB 007 004 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 058 HEB 007 005 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they come from the loins of Abraham: 058 HEB 007 006 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 058 HEB 007 007 And without any dispute the less is blessed by the better. 058 HEB 007 008 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 058 HEB 007 009 And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 058 HEB 007 010 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him. 058 HEB 007 011 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, ( for under it the people received the law, ) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 058 HEB 007 012 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 058 HEB 007 013 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 058 HEB 007 014 For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 058 HEB 007 015 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, 058 HEB 007 016 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 058 HEB 007 017 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 018 For there is verily a setting aside of the former commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness. 058 HEB 007 019 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God. 058 HEB 007 020 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 058 HEB 007 021 ( For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek: ) (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 022 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 058 HEB 007 023 And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death: 058 HEB 007 024 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 025 Therefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 058 HEB 007 026 For such an high priest was befitting for us, who is holy, blameless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 058 HEB 007 027 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 058 HEB 007 028 For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 008 001 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 058 HEB 008 002 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 058 HEB 008 003 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: therefore it is of necessity that this man should have somewhat also to offer. 058 HEB 008 004 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 058 HEB 008 005 Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount. 058 HEB 008 006 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 058 HEB 008 007 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 058 HEB 008 008 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 058 HEB 008 009 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 058 HEB 008 010 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 058 HEB 008 011 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 058 HEB 008 012 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 058 HEB 008 013 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and groweth old is ready to vanish away. 058 HEB 009 001 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary. 058 HEB 009 002 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, in which was the lampstand, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary. 058 HEB 009 003 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 058 HEB 009 004 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 058 HEB 009 005 And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 058 HEB 009 006 Now when these things were thus prepared, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 058 HEB 009 007 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 058 HEB 009 008 The Holy Spirit thus signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet revealed, while the first tabernacle was yet standing: 058 HEB 009 009 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 058 HEB 009 010 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and various washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 058 HEB 009 011 But Christ became an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 058 HEB 009 012 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 009 013 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh: 058 HEB 009 014 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 009 015 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 009 016 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 058 HEB 009 017 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 058 HEB 009 018 Hence even the first testament was not dedicated without blood. 058 HEB 009 019 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 058 HEB 009 020 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath commanded you. 058 HEB 009 021 Moreover he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 058 HEB 009 022 And almost all things are by the law cleansed with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 058 HEB 009 023 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 058 HEB 009 024 For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 058 HEB 009 025 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 058 HEB 009 026 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 009 027 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment: 058 HEB 009 028 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him he shall appear the second time without sin to salvation. 058 HEB 010 001 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers to them perfect. 058 HEB 010 002 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once cleansed should have had no more conscience of sins. 058 HEB 010 003 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 058 HEB 010 004 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 058 HEB 010 005 Therefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 058 HEB 010 006 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 058 HEB 010 007 Then said I, Lo, I come ( in the volume of the book it is written of me, ) to do thy will, O God. 058 HEB 010 008 Before when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure in them; which are offered by the law; 058 HEB 010 009 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 058 HEB 010 010 By that will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 058 HEB 010 011 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 058 HEB 010 012 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 058 HEB 010 013 From henceforth waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. 058 HEB 010 014 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 058 HEB 010 015 Of this the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 058 HEB 010 016 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 058 HEB 010 017 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 058 HEB 010 018 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 058 HEB 010 019 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 058 HEB 010 020 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 058 HEB 010 021 And having an high priest over the house of God; 058 HEB 010 022 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 058 HEB 010 023 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; ( for he is faithful that promised; ) 058 HEB 010 024 And let us consider one another to stir up to love and to good works: 058 HEB 010 025 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 058 HEB 010 026 For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 058 HEB 010 027 But a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 058 HEB 010 028 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 058 HEB 010 029 Of how much more severe punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace? 058 HEB 010 030 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 058 HEB 010 031 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 058 HEB 010 032 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 058 HEB 010 033 Partly, while ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye became companions of them that were so used. 058 HEB 010 034 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the plundering of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 058 HEB 010 035 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 058 HEB 010 036 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. 058 HEB 010 037 For yet a little while, and he that is coming will come, and will not tarry. 058 HEB 010 038 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man shall draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 058 HEB 010 039 But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. 058 HEB 011 001 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 058 HEB 011 002 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 058 HEB 011 003 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 011 004 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 058 HEB 011 005 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 058 HEB 011 006 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 058 HEB 011 007 By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 058 HEB 011 008 By faith Abraham, when he was called to move into a place which he should later receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 058 HEB 011 009 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 058 HEB 011 010 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 058 HEB 011 011 Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 058 HEB 011 012 Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 058 HEB 011 013 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 058 HEB 011 014 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 058 HEB 011 015 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came, they might have had opportunity to return. 058 HEB 011 016 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 058 HEB 011 017 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 058 HEB 011 018 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 058 HEB 011 019 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from which also he received him in a figure. 058 HEB 011 020 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 058 HEB 011 021 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 058 HEB 011 022 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 058 HEB 011 023 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. 058 HEB 011 024 By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 058 HEB 011 025 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 058 HEB 011 026 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompence of the reward. 058 HEB 011 027 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 058 HEB 011 028 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 058 HEB 011 029 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians trying to do were drowned. 058 HEB 011 030 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days. 058 HEB 011 031 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, after she had received the spies with peace. 058 HEB 011 032 And what more shall I say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 058 HEB 011 033 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 058 HEB 011 034 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 058 HEB 011 035 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 058 HEB 011 036 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 058 HEB 011 037 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 058 HEB 011 038 (Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 058 HEB 011 039 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 058 HEB 011 040 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. 058 HEB 012 001 Therefore seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 058 HEB 012 002 Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 058 HEB 012 003 For consider him that endured such hostility by sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 058 HEB 012 004 Ye have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin. 058 HEB 012 005 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by him: 058 HEB 012 006 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 058 HEB 012 007 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 058 HEB 012 008 But if ye are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 058 HEB 012 009 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? 058 HEB 012 010 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 058 HEB 012 011 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it. 058 HEB 012 012 Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 058 HEB 012 013 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 058 HEB 012 014 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 058 HEB 012 015 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled; 058 HEB 012 016 Lest there be any immoral, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright. 058 HEB 012 017 For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 058 HEB 012 018 For ye are not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and to darkness, and tempest, 058 HEB 012 019 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 058 HEB 012 020 ( For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with an arrow: 058 HEB 012 021 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble: ) 058 HEB 012 022 But ye are come to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 058 HEB 012 023 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 058 HEB 012 024 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 058 HEB 012 025 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 058 HEB 012 026 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 058 HEB 012 027 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 058 HEB 012 028 Therefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 058 HEB 012 029 For our God is a consuming fire. 058 HEB 013 001 Let brotherly love continue. 058 HEB 013 002 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for by this some have entertained angels unawares. 058 HEB 013 003 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 058 HEB 013 004 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 058 HEB 013 005 Let your manner of life be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 058 HEB 013 006 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me. 058 HEB 013 007 Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their manner of life. 058 HEB 013 008 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 013 009 Be not carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied in them. 058 HEB 013 010 We have an altar, of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle. 058 HEB 013 011 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. 058 HEB 013 012 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. 058 HEB 013 013 Let us go forth therefore to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach. 058 HEB 013 014 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 058 HEB 013 015 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 058 HEB 013 016 But to do good and to share forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 058 HEB 013 017 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 058 HEB 013 018 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 058 HEB 013 019 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 058 HEB 013 020 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 013 021 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 013 022 And I beseech you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation: for I have written a letter to you in few words. 058 HEB 013 023 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. 058 HEB 013 024 Greet all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy greet you. 058 HEB 013 025 Grace be with you all. Amen. Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy. # # BOOK 059 JAM James James 059 JAM 001 001 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are scattered abroad, greeting. 059 JAM 001 002 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various temptations; 059 JAM 001 003 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 059 JAM 001 004 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 059 JAM 001 005 If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him. 059 JAM 001 006 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 059 JAM 001 007 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord. 059 JAM 001 008 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 059 JAM 001 009 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 059 JAM 001 010 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 059 JAM 001 011 For the sun hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of its fashion perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 059 JAM 001 012 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 059 JAM 001 013 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 059 JAM 001 014 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 059 JAM 001 015 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 059 JAM 001 016 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 059 JAM 001 017 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 059 JAM 001 018 Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 059 JAM 001 019 Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 059 JAM 001 020 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 059 JAM 001 021 Therefore put away all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 059 JAM 001 022 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 059 JAM 001 023 For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 059 JAM 001 024 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and immediately forgetteth what manner of man he was. 059 JAM 001 025 But he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 059 JAM 001 026 If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 059 JAM 001 027 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. 059 JAM 002 001 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 059 JAM 002 002 For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in fine apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 059 JAM 002 003 And ye have respect to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 059 JAM 002 004 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 059 JAM 002 005 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 059 JAM 002 006 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 059 JAM 002 007 Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 059 JAM 002 008 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 059 JAM 002 009 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 059 JAM 002 010 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 059 JAM 002 011 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou committest no adultery, yet if thou killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 059 JAM 002 012 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 059 JAM 002 013 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 059 JAM 002 014 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man saith he hath faith, and hath not works? can faith save him? 059 JAM 002 015 If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food, 059 JAM 002 016 And one of you saith to them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; but ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 059 JAM 002 017 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 059 JAM 002 018 But, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. 059 JAM 002 019 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and tremble. 059 JAM 002 020 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 059 JAM 002 021 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 059 JAM 002 022 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 059 JAM 002 023 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 059 JAM 002 024 Ye see then that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 059 JAM 002 025 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 059 JAM 002 026 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 059 JAM 003 001 My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment. 059 JAM 003 002 For in many things we all offend. If any man stumble not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 059 JAM 003 003 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 059 JAM 003 004 Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, wherever the pilot willeth. 059 JAM 003 005 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 059 JAM 003 006 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. (Geenna g1067) 059 JAM 003 007 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of creatures in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 059 JAM 003 008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 059 JAM 003 009 With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God. 059 JAM 003 010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 059 JAM 003 011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 059 JAM 003 012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh. 059 JAM 003 013 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good behaviour his works with meekness of wisdom. 059 JAM 003 014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 059 JAM 003 015 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 059 JAM 003 016 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 059 JAM 003 017 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 059 JAM 003 018 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace. 059 JAM 004 001 From where come wars and fightings among you? come they not from this, even from your lusts that war in your members? 059 JAM 004 002 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 059 JAM 004 003 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 059 JAM 004 004 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 059 JAM 004 005 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 059 JAM 004 006 But he giveth more grace. Therefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. 059 JAM 004 007 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 059 JAM 004 008 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 059 JAM 004 009 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 059 JAM 004 010 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 059 JAM 004 011 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 059 JAM 004 012 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 059 JAM 004 013 Come now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 059 JAM 004 014 Though ye know not what shall be to morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 059 JAM 004 015 Instead of that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 059 JAM 004 016 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 059 JAM 004 017 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 059 JAM 005 001 Come now, ye rich men, weep and wail for your miseries that shall come upon you. 059 JAM 005 002 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 059 JAM 005 003 Your gold and silver is rusted; and its rust shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped up treasure for the last days. 059 JAM 005 004 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 059 JAM 005 005 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 059 JAM 005 006 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. 059 JAM 005 007 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain. 059 JAM 005 008 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth near. 059 JAM 005 009 Murmur not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 059 JAM 005 010 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 059 JAM 005 011 Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 059 JAM 005 012 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. 059 JAM 005 013 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing psalms. 059 JAM 005 014 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 059 JAM 005 015 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 059 JAM 005 016 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much. 059 JAM 005 017 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 059 JAM 005 018 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit. 059 JAM 005 019 Brethren, if any one of you should err from the truth, and one should convert him; 059 JAM 005 020 Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. # # BOOK 060 1PE 1 Peter 1 Peter 060 1PE 001 001 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 060 1PE 001 002 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied. 060 1PE 001 003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 060 1PE 001 004 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 060 1PE 001 005 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 060 1PE 001 006 In this ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through various temptations: 060 1PE 001 007 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 060 1PE 001 008 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 060 1PE 001 009 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 060 1PE 001 010 Of this salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you: 060 1PE 001 011 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them did signify, when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 060 1PE 001 012 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things, which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 060 1PE 001 013 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 060 1PE 001 014 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 060 1PE 001 015 But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all your behaviour; 060 1PE 001 016 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 060 1PE 001 017 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 060 1PE 001 018 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain way of life received by tradition from your fathers; 060 1PE 001 019 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 060 1PE 001 020 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for you, 060 1PE 001 021 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 060 1PE 001 022 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to a sincere love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 060 1PE 001 023 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 001 024 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and its flower falleth away: 060 1PE 001 025 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to you. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 002 001 Therefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 060 1PE 002 002 As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow by it: 060 1PE 002 003 If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 060 1PE 002 004 To whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious, 060 1PE 002 005 Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 060 1PE 002 006 Therefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 060 1PE 002 007 To you therefore who believe he is precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner, 060 1PE 002 008 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to this also they were appointed. 060 1PE 002 009 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a special people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 060 1PE 002 010 Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 060 1PE 002 011 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 060 1PE 002 012 Having your behaviour honest among the Gentiles: that, though they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 060 1PE 002 013 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; 060 1PE 002 014 Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 060 1PE 002 015 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 060 1PE 002 016 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. 060 1PE 002 017 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 060 1PE 002 018 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse. 060 1PE 002 019 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully. 060 1PE 002 020 For what glory is it, if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 060 1PE 002 021 For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 060 1PE 002 022 Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 060 1PE 002 023 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 060 1PE 002 024 Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 060 1PE 002 025 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 060 1PE 003 001 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the behaviour of the wives; 060 1PE 003 002 While they behold your chaste behaviour coupled with fear. 060 1PE 003 003 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel; 060 1PE 003 004 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 060 1PE 003 005 For after this manner in former times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: 060 1PE 003 006 Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any terror. 060 1PE 003 007 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 060 1PE 003 008 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one for another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 060 1PE 003 009 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing. 060 1PE 003 010 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 060 1PE 003 011 Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it. 060 1PE 003 012 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 060 1PE 003 013 And who is he that will harm you, if ye are followers of that which is good? 060 1PE 003 014 But if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 060 1PE 003 015 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 060 1PE 003 016 Having a good conscience; that, though they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good behaviour in Christ. 060 1PE 003 017 For it is better, if the will of God is so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 060 1PE 003 018 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit: 060 1PE 003 019 By whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison; 060 1PE 003 020 Who at one time were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 060 1PE 003 021 The like figure to which even baptism doth also now save us ( not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, ) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 060 1PE 003 022 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him. 060 1PE 004 001 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 060 1PE 004 002 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 060 1PE 004 003 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries: 060 1PE 004 004 In which they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you: 060 1PE 004 005 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. 060 1PE 004 006 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 060 1PE 004 007 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober minded, and watch to prayer. 060 1PE 004 008 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover a multitude of sins. 060 1PE 004 009 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 060 1PE 004 010 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 060 1PE 004 011 If any man speaketh, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man ministereth, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 004 012 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you: 060 1PE 004 013 But rejoice, seeing ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 060 1PE 004 014 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 060 1PE 004 015 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 060 1PE 004 016 Yet if any man suffereth as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 060 1PE 004 017 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first beginneth with us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? 060 1PE 004 018 And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 060 1PE 004 019 Therefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator. 060 1PE 005 001 The elders who are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 060 1PE 005 002 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for dishonest gain, but from a ready mind; 060 1PE 005 003 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock. 060 1PE 005 004 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 060 1PE 005 005 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 060 1PE 005 006 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 060 1PE 005 007 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 060 1PE 005 008 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 060 1PE 005 009 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 060 1PE 005 010 But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166) 060 1PE 005 011 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 005 012 By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which ye stand. 060 1PE 005 013 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, greeteth you; and so doth Mark my son. 060 1PE 005 014 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. # # BOOK 061 2PE 2 Peter 2 Peter 061 2PE 001 001 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 061 2PE 001 002 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 061 2PE 001 003 According as his divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 061 2PE 001 004 By which are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 061 2PE 001 005 And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 061 2PE 001 006 And to knowledge self-control; and to self-control patience; and to patience godliness; 061 2PE 001 007 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 061 2PE 001 008 For if these things are in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 061 2PE 001 009 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins. 061 2PE 001 010 Therefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 061 2PE 001 011 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166) 061 2PE 001 012 Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth. 061 2PE 001 013 Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 061 2PE 001 014 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me. 061 2PE 001 015 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 061 2PE 001 016 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 061 2PE 001 017 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 061 2PE 001 018 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount. 061 2PE 001 019 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 061 2PE 001 020 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 061 2PE 001 021 For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 061 2PE 002 001 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 061 2PE 002 002 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 061 2PE 002 003 And through covetousness they shall with deceptive words exploit you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not. 061 2PE 002 004 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment; (Tartaroō g5020) 061 2PE 002 005 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 061 2PE 002 006 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those that afterwards should live ungodly lives; 061 2PE 002 007 And delivered just Lot, grieved with the immoral behaviour of the wicked: 061 2PE 002 008 ( For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; ) 061 2PE 002 009 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished: 061 2PE 002 010 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 061 2PE 002 011 Though angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not a railing accusation against them before the Lord. 061 2PE 002 012 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 061 2PE 002 013 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 061 2PE 002 014 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: they have an heart exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 061 2PE 002 015 Who have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 061 2PE 002 016 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb donkey speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 061 2PE 002 017 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (questioned) 061 2PE 002 018 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that are just escaping from them who live in error. 061 2PE 002 019 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage. 061 2PE 002 020 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 061 2PE 002 021 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 061 2PE 002 022 But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 061 2PE 003 001 This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 061 2PE 003 002 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 061 2PE 003 003 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 061 2PE 003 004 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 061 2PE 003 005 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 061 2PE 003 006 By which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 061 2PE 003 007 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire for the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 061 2PE 003 008 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 061 2PE 003 009 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 061 2PE 003 010 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are in it shall be burned up. 061 2PE 003 011 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conduct and godliness, 061 2PE 003 012 Looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, when the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 061 2PE 003 013 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwelleth righteousness. 061 2PE 003 014 Therefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 061 2PE 003 015 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him hath written to you; 061 2PE 003 016 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 061 2PE 003 017 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. 061 2PE 003 018 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

And if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 062 1JO 002 002 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 062 1JO 002 003 And by this we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 062 1JO 002 004 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 062 1JO 002 005 But whoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him. 062 1JO 002 006 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 062 1JO 002 007 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 062 1JO 002 008 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 062 1JO 002 009 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 062 1JO 002 010 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 062 1JO 002 011 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not where he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 062 1JO 002 012 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. 062 1JO 002 013 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 062 1JO 002 014 I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 062 1JO 002 015 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 062 1JO 002 016 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 062 1JO 002 017 And the world passeth away, and its lust: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165) 062 1JO 002 018 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist cometh, even now are there many antichrists; by which we know that it is the last time. 062 1JO 002 019 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be shown that they were not all of us. 062 1JO 002 020 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 062 1JO 002 021 I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 062 1JO 002 022 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 062 1JO 002 023 Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also. 062 1JO 002 024 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 062 1JO 002 025 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 062 1JO 002 026 These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. 062 1JO 002 027 But the anointing which ye have received from him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man should teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 062 1JO 002 028 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 062 1JO 002 029 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 062 1JO 003 001 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 062 1JO 003 002 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 062 1JO 003 003 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 062 1JO 003 004 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 062 1JO 003 005 And ye know that he appeared to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 062 1JO 003 006 Whoever abideth in him sinneth not: whoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 062 1JO 003 007 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 062 1JO 003 008 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 062 1JO 003 009 Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 062 1JO 003 010 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 062 1JO 003 011 For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 062 1JO 003 012 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 062 1JO 003 013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 062 1JO 003 014 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 062 1JO 003 015 Whoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166) 062 1JO 003 016 By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 062 1JO 003 017 But he who hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassions from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 062 1JO 003 018 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 062 1JO 003 019 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 062 1JO 003 020 For if our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 062 1JO 003 021 Beloved, if our heart doth not condemn us, then have we confidence toward God. 062 1JO 003 022 And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 062 1JO 003 023 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 062 1JO 003 024 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit who he hath given to us. 062 1JO 004 001 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 062 1JO 004 002 By this ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh is from God: 062 1JO 004 003 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not from God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come; and even now already it is in the world. 062 1JO 004 004 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 062 1JO 004 005 They are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world heareth them. 062 1JO 004 006 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 062 1JO 004 007 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 062 1JO 004 008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 062 1JO 004 009 In this was revealed the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 062 1JO 004 010 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 062 1JO 004 011 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 062 1JO 004 012 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 062 1JO 004 013 By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 062 1JO 004 014 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 062 1JO 004 015 Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 062 1JO 004 016 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 062 1JO 004 017 In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 062 1JO 004 018 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 062 1JO 004 019 We love him, because he first loved us. 062 1JO 004 020 If a man saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 062 1JO 004 021 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 062 1JO 005 001 Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten by him. 062 1JO 005 002 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 062 1JO 005 003 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome. 062 1JO 005 004 For whoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 062 1JO 005 005 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 062 1JO 005 006 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 062 1JO 005 007 For there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one. 062 1JO 005 008 And there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 062 1JO 005 009 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 062 1JO 005 010 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son. 062 1JO 005 011 And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166) 062 1JO 005 012 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 062 1JO 005 013 These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166) 062 1JO 005 014 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 062 1JO 005 015 And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him. 062 1JO 005 016 If any man shall see his brother sin a sin which is not to death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 062 1JO 005 017 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death. 062 1JO 005 018 We know that whoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 062 1JO 005 019 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 062 1JO 005 020 And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 062 1JO 005 021 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

(aïdios g126) 065 JUD 001 007 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to gross immorality, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166) 065 JUD 001 008 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 065 JUD 001 009 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 065 JUD 001 010 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 065 JUD 001 011 Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. 065 JUD 001 012 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about by winds; late autumn trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked out by the roots; 065 JUD 001 013 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands; 066 REV 001 013 And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band. 066 REV 001 014 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 066 REV 001 015 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 066 REV 001 016 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 066 REV 001 017 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.

066 REV 002 002 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear them who are evil: and thou hast tried them who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 066 REV 002 003 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 066 REV 002 004 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 066 REV 002 005 Remember therefore from which thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works;

These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 066 REV 002 019 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works;

and she repented not. 066 REV 002 022 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 066 REV 002 023 And I will kill her children with death;

These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 066 REV 003 008 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 066 REV 003 009 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;

and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 066 REV 003 018 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 066 REV 003 019 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 066 REV 003 020 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man shall hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 066 REV 003 021 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father on his throne. 066 REV 003 022 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. 066 REV 004 001 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show thee things which must be after this. 066 REV 004 002 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 066 REV 004 003 And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight like an emerald. 066 REV 004 004 And around the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 066 REV 004 005 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 066 REV 004 006 And in front of the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living beings full of eyes before and behind. 066 REV 004 007 And the first living being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle. 066 REV 004 008 And the four living beings had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. 066 REV 004 009 And when those living beings give glory and honour and thanks to him that is seated on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165) 066 REV 004 010 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165) 066 REV 004 011 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. 066 REV 005 001 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 066 REV 005 002 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals? 066 REV 005 003 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look on it. 066 REV 005 004 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look on it. 066 REV 005 005 And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals. 066 REV 005 006 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 066 REV 005 007 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 066 REV 005 008 And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 066 REV 005 009 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 066 REV 005 010 And hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 066 REV 005 011 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living beings and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 066 REV 005 012 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 066 REV 005 013 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 005 014 And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. 066 REV 006 001 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living beings saying, Come and see. 066 REV 006 002 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 066 REV 006 003 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living being say, Come and see. 066 REV 006 004 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat on him to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given to him a great sword. 066 REV 006 005 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living being say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 066 REV 006 006 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 066 REV 006 007 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, Come and see. 066 REV 006 008 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86) 066 REV 006 009 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 066 REV 006 010 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 066 REV 006 011 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 066 REV 006 012 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 066 REV 006 013 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casteth its untimely figs, when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 066 REV 006 014 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and isle were moved out of their places. 066 REV 006 015 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 066 REV 006 016 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 066 REV 006 017 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 066 REV 007 001 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 066 REV 007 002 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 066 REV 007 003 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 066 REV 007 004 And I heard the number of them who were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 066 REV 007 005 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 066 REV 007 006 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. 066 REV 007 007 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 066 REV 007 008 Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. 066 REV 007 009 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 066 REV 007 010 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. 066 REV 007 011 And all the angels stood around the throne, and about the elders and the four living beings, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 066 REV 007 012 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 007 013 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these that are arrayed in white robes? and where did they come from? 066 REV 007 014 And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 066 REV 007 015 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 066 REV 007 016 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 066 REV 007 017 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 066 REV 008 001 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 066 REV 008 002 And I saw the seven angels who stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 066 REV 008 003 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 066 REV 008 004 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God out of the angel’s hand. 066 REV 008 005 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 066 REV 008 006 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 066 REV 008 007 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 066 REV 008 008 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 066 REV 008 009 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 066 REV 008 010 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 066 REV 008 011 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. 066 REV 008 012 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. 066 REV 008 013 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! 066 REV 009 001 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 009 002 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 009 003 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 066 REV 009 004 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 066 REV 009 005 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 066 REV 009 006 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 066 REV 009 007 And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 066 REV 009 008 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 066 REV 009 009 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 066 REV 009 010 And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 066 REV 009 011 And they had a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon, but in the Greek language he hath his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 009 012 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more after this. 066 REV 009 013 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 066 REV 009 014 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates. 066 REV 009 015 And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men. 066 REV 009 016 And the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 066 REV 009 017 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 066 REV 009 018 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 066 REV 009 019 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 066 REV 009 020 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 066 REV 009 021 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts. 066 REV 010 001 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 066 REV 010 002 And he had in his hand a little scroll open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 066 REV 010 003 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 066 REV 010 004 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 066 REV 010 005 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 066 REV 010 006 And swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the things that are in it, and the sea, and the things which are in it, that there should be delay no longer: (aiōn g165) 066 REV 010 007 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 066 REV 010 008 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 066 REV 010 009 And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little scroll. And he said to me, Take it, and eat it; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 066 REV 010 010 And I took the little scroll out of the angel’s hand, and ate it; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 066 REV 010 011 And he said to me, Thou must prophesy again concerning many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. 066 REV 011 001 And there was given me a reed like a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it. 066 REV 011 002 But the court which is outside the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 066 REV 011 003 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. 066 REV 011 004 These are the two olive trees, and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 066 REV 011 005 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 066 REV 011 006 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 066 REV 011 007 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 011 008 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 066 REV 011 009 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not permit their dead bodies to be put in graves. 066 REV 011 010 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 066 REV 011 011 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them who saw them. 066 REV 011 012 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 066 REV 011 013 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were killed of men seven thousand: and the remnant were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 066 REV 011 014 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 066 REV 011 015 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 011 016 And the four and twenty elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 066 REV 011 017 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 066 REV 011 018 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them who destroy the earth. 066 REV 011 019 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. 066 REV 012 001 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 066 REV 012 002 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 066 REV 012 003 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 066 REV 012 004 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as he was born. 066 REV 012 005 And she brought forth a son, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 066 REV 012 006 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days. 066 REV 012 007 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 066 REV 012 008 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 066 REV 012 009 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out upon the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 066 REV 012 010 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night. 066 REV 012 011 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death. 066 REV 012 012 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 066 REV 012 013 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the son. 066 REV 012 014 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 066 REV 012 015 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 066 REV 012 016 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 066 REV 012 017 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 066 REV 013 001 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 066 REV 013 002 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. 066 REV 013 003 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 066 REV 013 004 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? who is able to make war with him? 066 REV 013 005 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given to him to continue forty and two months. 066 REV 013 006 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 066 REV 013 007 And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 066 REV 013 008 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 066 REV 013 009 If any man hath an ear, let him hear. 066 REV 013 010 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 066 REV 013 011 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 066 REV 013 012 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 066 REV 013 013 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 066 REV 013 014 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and lived. 066 REV 013 015 And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 066 REV 013 016 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 066 REV 013 017 And that no man might buy or sell, except him that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 066 REV 013 018 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. 066 REV 014 001 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred and forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 066 REV 014 002 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 066 REV 014 003 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth. 066 REV 014 004 These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 066 REV 014 005 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. 066 REV 014 006 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (aiōnios g166) 066 REV 014 007 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 066 REV 014 008 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her immorality. 066 REV 014 009 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 066 REV 014 010 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 066 REV 014 011 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 014 012 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 066 REV 014 013 And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works follow them. 066 REV 014 014 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 066 REV 014 015 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 066 REV 014 016 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 066 REV 014 017 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 066 REV 014 018 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 066 REV 014 019 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 066 REV 014 020 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even to the horses’ bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. 066 REV 015 001 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 066 REV 015 002 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 066 REV 015 003 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 066 REV 015 004 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are revealed. 066 REV 015 005 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 066 REV 015 006 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden bands. 066 REV 015 007 And one of the four living beings gave to the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 015 008 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. 066 REV 016 001 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 066 REV 016 002 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a foul and loathsome sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon them who worshipped his image. 066 REV 016 003 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 066 REV 016 004 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 066 REV 016 005 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, who art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 066 REV 016 006 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 066 REV 016 007 And I heard another from the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 066 REV 016 008 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 066 REV 016 009 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 066 REV 016 010 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 066 REV 016 011 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 066 REV 016 012 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 066 REV 016 013 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 066 REV 016 014 For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 066 REV 016 015 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 066 REV 016 016 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 066 REV 016 017 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 066 REV 016 018 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as hath not been since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 066 REV 016 019 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 066 REV 016 020 And every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found. 066 REV 016 021 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for its plague was exceeding great. 066 REV 017 001 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come; I will show to thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters: 066 REV 017 002 With whom the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her immorality. 066 REV 017 003 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 066 REV 017 004 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her immorality: 066 REV 017 005 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 066 REV 017 006 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder. 066 REV 017 007 And the angel said to me, Why didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 066 REV 017 008 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 017 009 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 066 REV 017 010 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short time. 066 REV 017 011 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 066 REV 017 012 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 066 REV 017 013 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast. 066 REV 017 014 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 066 REV 017 015 And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 066 REV 017 016 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 066 REV 017 017 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 066 REV 017 018 And the woman whom thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 066 REV 018 001 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was made bright with his glory. 066 REV 018 002 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 066 REV 018 003 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 066 REV 018 004 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 066 REV 018 005 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 066 REV 018 006 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 066 REV 018 007 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 066 REV 018 008 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 066 REV 018 009 And the kings of the earth, who have committed acts of immorality and lived luxuriously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 066 REV 018 010 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 066 REV 018 011 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 066 REV 018 012 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all kinds of vessels of ivory, and all kinds of vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 066 REV 018 013 And cinnamon, and incense, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies, and souls of men. 066 REV 018 014 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after have departed from thee, and all things which were luxurious and splendid have departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 066 REV 018 015 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 066 REV 018 016 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 066 REV 018 017 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 066 REV 018 018 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like this great city! 066 REV 018 019 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which were made rich all that had ships in the sea by her wealth! for in one hour is she made desolate. 066 REV 018 020 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 066 REV 018 021 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be no more found. 066 REV 018 022 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be no more heard in thee; and no craftsman, of whatever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be no more heard in thee; 066 REV 018 023 And the light of a lamp shall shine no more in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 066 REV 018 024 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. 066 REV 019 001 And after these things I heard a great voice of many people in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, to the Lord our God: 066 REV 019 002 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 066 REV 019 003 And again they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 019 004 And the four and twenty elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah. 066 REV 019 005 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 066 REV 019 006 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 066 REV 019 007 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 066 REV 019 008 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 066 REV 019 009 And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true sayings of God. 066 REV 019 010 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 066 REV 019 011 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 066 REV 019 012 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 066 REV 019 013 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 066 REV 019 014 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 066 REV 019 015 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 066 REV 019 016 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 066 REV 019 017 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God; 066 REV 019 018 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 066 REV 019 019 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 066 REV 019 020 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 019 021 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceedeth out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. 066 REV 020 001 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 020 002 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 066 REV 020 003 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 020 004 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 066 REV 020 005 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 066 REV 020 006 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 066 REV 020 007 And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be loosed from his prison, 066 REV 020 008 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 066 REV 020 009 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 066 REV 020 010 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 020 011 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 066 REV 020 012 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 066 REV 020 013 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (Hadēs g86) 066 REV 020 014 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 020 015 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 021 001 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea. 066 REV 021 002 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 066 REV 021 003 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 066 REV 021 004 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away. 066 REV 021 005 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 066 REV 021 006 And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely. 066 REV 021 007 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 066 REV 021 008 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 021 009 And there came to me one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. 066 REV 021 010 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 066 REV 021 011 Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 066 REV 021 012 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 066 REV 021 013 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 066 REV 021 014 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 066 REV 021 015 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. 066 REV 021 016 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and its height are equal. 066 REV 021 017 And he measured its wall, an hundred and forty four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 066 REV 021 018 And the building of its wall was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 066 REV 021 019 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 066 REV 021 020 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 066 REV 021 021 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 066 REV 021 022 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 066 REV 021 023 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp. 066 REV 021 024 And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it. 066 REV 021 025 And its gates shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there. 066 REV 021 026 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 066 REV 021 027 And there shall by no means enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. 066 REV 022 001 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 066 REV 022 002 In the midst of its street, and on each side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 066 REV 022 003 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 066 REV 022 004 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 066 REV 022 005 And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 022 006 And he said to me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which must shortly be done. 066 REV 022 007 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 066 REV 022 008 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 066 REV 022 009 Then saith he to me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of this book: worship God. 066 REV 022 010 And he saith to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 066 REV 022 011 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 066 REV 022 012 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be. 066 REV 022 013 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 066 REV 022 014 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 066 REV 022 015 For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and immoral persons, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and maketh a lie. 066 REV 022 016 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 066 REV 022 017 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 066 REV 022 018 For I testify to every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book: 066 REV 022 019 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 066 REV 022 020 He who testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 066 REV 022 021 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
